Hey all, Long time no talk

Just got out of Boot camp about 3 weeks ago (Navy, not prison) Im up in great lakes IL still, ill be there until around june, just dropping in and seeing how the thirdgen scene is goin.

Firebreed

 

what up where you from boot? Hows the navy treating you

 

im still in Great Lakes Il, litterally Lake Michagan (cant spell tonight) is about 700 ft from my Room! and it looks like a damn ocean rather then a lake...

 

Great Mistakes!!! Well, I hope you enjoy this winter... LMAO!! I spent a year at NTC back in 88/89. Are you active duty? I assume you're up for 'A' school while you're there? What's your rate? Any plans to get another 3rd gen? I don't think I'd buy one there. All the salt takes a terrible toll on their vehicles.

Hope you end up on the West Coast. Take it easy

 

Yup, im an ET up here for A school, i eventually want to get another thirdgen, but i have to pay off my truck first lol, I'm at NSTC (Naval Service Training Command) Im active duty, and with my rate im in for a min of 6 years.

 

lol et huh? i wont knock the navy to much lol jk Im actually an EM in the coast guard. My sis graduated from there and her a school too i remeber it being hella cold up there. Good luck with the navy man hope they treat you good. Learn how to shine your boots so you can see **** perfectly normal out of them and keep a pressed uniform it will take you a long way

 

yea, its already getting cold here... You Coasties do a lot more then what most people think so props to ya, but i hit more ports

Yup, keepin them boots shiney+ 4 ironed, starchted, and hung sets of Uni's

 

Sup mr Navy man, good for you.. hope you end up back over here and back in the 3rdgen scene. Good luck!

 

thansk man we do do quite abit and as far as ports go come back when when you have some sea time. hahaha.

Thats good Keep up on the uniform too alot of peope start to slide after awhile

 

haha, im sea duty 6 years... - the year im at school for the rate... so :P

 

were you drunk when you worote this

 

I was and still am drunk....

 

i figured as much

 

Swabbie Squid!



Sorry... I just had to get that in. Good luck in um, the service!

 

Taxi!!!

 

i hope sooo

 

'taxi' is a usmc joke... though not one i ever laughed too hard at


brandon, i hope you enjoy et'a' school. i got out as an et1 after 11 years. did you go through be/e there also? how far are you through school?

i have a bawlzy tip for you... even though you think you're committed for six years, you're not. you've enlisted for four years. they will ask you to sign a two year extension near your graduation date. one year is for your automatic advancement to et3 and the other is for a 'c' school which you don't get to choose. if i had it to do over again, i wouldn't sign the extension. you'll go to your first ship as an etsa or etsn... not much different than an et3 really. you'll make et3 in a year probably and there's a better chance that you'll end up with a 'c' school and nec that you're interested in instead of something crappy like hf systems. but the biggest reason is, if you ever decide to re-enlist and there's a bonus available, you'll be eligible to be paid for the two years you didn't extend. of course, if you don't re-enlist, you get out two years early!

be advised, they will try to threaten and scare you into signing the extension and the longer you stay in the navy, you'll find that they use that same tactic for most everything... get used to it.

in any case, i hope you get everything you hope for out of your time in the military. it's good stuff.

 

oh a usmc joke huh? lol ok no wonder

 

right now im goin through ATT, which is basicly a basic electroics course, and i should finish that in December, then i head off to A school.

 

Hey guys,

Just goin through the threads that i posted back in the day, and just wanted to say hey again, my truck is doin great, just put in a Long travel kit for it (11 inches of travel, the most i can get with out a ton of custom fab work) did a coil over conversion w/ shock hoops pluss a few other mods.

Still lookin at getting back into the thirdgen scene, but right now im just having to much fun out in the desert!

I am now stationed down in San Diego on the 32nd street base.

Vexter, i took the e-5 exam in sept. waiting on the results (crossing my fingers that i make it, so i can keep up with my desert racing hobby LOL)

anywho, just wanted to say hey!

 

good to hear from ya, keep in touch.

 

sure will, hows the GTA?

 

it is doing good, but i have ben working to much, have not had a chance to drive it in over a month.

 

Ah, hope you got to drive it by now Lol

Dropping in again to say hey, got onboard my ship about 2 months ago, shes up in maine right now finshing up before we head out for commisioning... cant wait to get back to San Diego.

if anybody wants to get intouch with me just pm me and ill give you my ships email address...

Have fun! and keep the thirdgens alive!

 

well, im back! and sitting in a 2011 black on black SS just wanted to drop in and say hello to everybody.

 

Hello. Haha. So no more third gen? How are you liking the New camaro?

 

I'm sure it pales in comparison to his 1983 Berlinetta with the V6.

 

Alright smartass! haha...Sometimes people that own the car find little things that could have been better or whatnot so just trying to see how he likes it. Hopefully he likes it a lot...dont hate caus thier is no new transam!!

 

Sure there is! I'm saving my pennies for it.

 

I still miss the 83, but of course the new camaro is leaps head of it, not a hole lot to complain about with the 5th gen, Chevy did it right. Did take a bit to get used to the blind spots but after playing with the mirrors i dont even notice them. Deffentantly has some get up and go :P.

 

wanna race?

 

Maybe.... maybe not... Depends on if its at the track or not. And when i get all my power adders done...

 

Damn traviz wants to race everyone

 

You want a good deal on an edelbrock e-force? PM me if serious.. about 6k..

 

I gotta line up my races for 2011

 

Pencil me in.

 

still researching on what i wanna do, i know i will go all forged internals while im at it, lower the compression ration so that im more boost friendly, and go with either a TT setup or a SC....

 

on the 2011?
not necessary.

 

oh know its not nessarry... it will just make me feel better that way i can up the boost now on the truck, im gonna put a 150 shot of nitros and call it a day lol

 

hmmmm.

you know edelbrock backs the factory warranty...

 

I know it does.. I just dont have the Cash on hand for it ATM.... thats why im still in the planning/researching phase

 

you should of just waited another year. The 2012 Z28 comes with a supercharger from the general, LSA powered

 

...And the new Viper makes its debut, not that anyone probably cares except for Benny and I.

 

I'd like to see Travis' beast take on a new Camaro. Should be an easy win.

What does a 2011 SS run as is in the 1/4 anyways? 12 sumthin?

What does a 1983 Berlinetta run? 18 sumthin?

Haha, just playin'. ..

 

the 2011 SS runs high 12's low 13's depending on driver/weather/ect. At the time i bought the SS nobody even knew when/if the Z28 was even coming out even though the general was leaking spy shots like crazy.

 

I haven't seen the new ones. I want the Gen II GTS though. It's alot more appealing to my eyes than the SRT's. I'll get one for my birthday next year. I'm gonna get one with mods already installed. I've driven/ridden a Gen II GTS with just headers/exhaust/chip and when that 8.0L V10 pulls, it pulls so hard. And not even revving the heck out of it. Don't need to. I know there are going to be faster cars out there with SC and blah, blah, blah but throw a SC on the 8.0L V10 and it's game on.

 

GTS is everyones favorite I think, I want one too so bad, once I can afford it, I'll be on one. I hope you give me a ride.
I bet used paxtons for the gen 2's are not to hard to find either

I havnt seen the gen 5 yet either.. but over on viperalley's main page, its been announced it will return in 2012 as a 2013 model

 

Sean Roe S/C is my choice but they are no CARB legal so Paxton would be the ticket.

 

put me on the list of people wanting a viper...but i wont get rid of 68 dodge charger to get one...

 

WTF, I thought this was a 3rd gen F-body forum? Whats with all the SLOpar talk.
