ok guys we have 32 days to get everything done! Denny May is only 3 days away... how about info to get to your house now?

And Denny you also need to clean your basment! we can't even walk down there right now!

We need to start setting up Meet up points for the people that are going to drive down there in a group. i know i'm going to have about 5 cars with me :-D

 

Clean the basement but why.I felt like I had died and went to heaven when I was down there.I wanna know what his magic trick is to get his wife to let him have all that down there.
Shoot I get a hard time by just keeping a few things in the house.

For those of you who havent seen his basement,It looks like a third gen Walmart down there:hail:

 

This I have to see.

 

my car still isn't running yet


i need more hours in the day

 

Mine either, I need more $ in the day.

 

WOO hooo, just got my exhaust fixed yesterday and washed the car on the way home........only about two weeks worth of polishing on the aluminum and it will be good to go

 

when i was there last week you could not see the floor!

 

What all are you doing xpndbl3? Just curious. Is it still the 305?

 

oh it's the 305, but that is just for the summer. i wanna put a kit on it and run some 11.80s before i blow it up. I will have a cage to still put in it and the dual exhaust to do and a complete set of autometer guages to wire up.....and then.....it all adds up to a lot of stuff still. can't wait to get er fired up though, hoping for this weekend but weather is not cooperating with my schedule one bit.

 

My to do list is slowly winding down.In the last 3 mths. I've managed to paint car,replace injecters,replace windshield,recover headliner & sail panels,install subframe connectors.
Still need to do complete tuneup,shampoo interrior,1LE rear brake conversion,swap steering wheels,install headers.
Man I'm running out of time & money

 

I'm ready unless i blow up another trans

 

I'll bet I've blown more transmissions than you.:lala:




I guess thats not something to be proud of though.

 

I think this was my14th not to sure though, its been awhile, enjoy

this one came through the floor ,smashed my radio pod, and put a gash 7" long through the floor and carpet,right by my shin..I was wearing shorts and thongs

Tony, Sweet lookin Buggy you got there.:hail:

 

Thank you

 

Hmmm.....lost that bet. At least you can say you've blown them because you are making power.

I've just got unlucky with some crap. First the original died a month after I bought the car. Then the 2nd blew the front pump to peices, and after fixing that, the governor inspection plate came undone on the highway and I lost all my fluid, fried the band.

Now, on transmission #3, I pray to the lord every day for the salvation of my transmission. I pray that the tranny may forgive my transgressions against it for torque art with me.

 

Well guys, count me in! I guess I'm the first to say as of lastnight I am rolling. That's right, she fired up lastnight, and man is it mean! Can't wait til the end of the month. Check out sig.

 

Greta cam choice.I've ran it before, it loves a 3600-3800 stall.

 

Yeah, talk about a lope. I swear I asked my friend if we had a plug wire off somewhere. He was like, I think that's the idle.... And it needs a stall badly. It has a junk B&M 2400 in it right now(you use what you got). Hopefully I can get a good vigilante at some point.

 

You'll like that cam it pulls rite up past 7000rpm. If you can get your car to hook be prepaird to be looking out at the sky not the end of the quarter.

 

I've had several guys tell me that I will prob end up shifting at around 7000. I know the heads and intake are good for it. And according to you, the cam will pull right up there(which I was hoping). Kinda romped on it a little tonight, it flashed 5500rpm so fast it almost scared me. Tires just lit up, didn't even try to stick. I pulled to 6000 with no prob. Not a full pass, just through first gear...and I was feathering the throttle at that.

 

My setup was a little diff. than yours tho.
Performer RPM heads
Victor Jr. intake,750 demon carb.SLP 1 3/4 shortys,MSD everything.TCI stall,345 gears.
I had good luck with that cam,post how you like it once the motor gets some miles on it and you can really get into it.I'ed like to know how it does with FI as compaired to carb.

 

It reallys gets fun once you hook and start brakeing stuff
Welcome to haveing no traction.and if your useing a shift light,set it to come on around 6800 and accounting for reaction time to shift it and the time it takes the trans to shift you'll be at 7,000 or better.

 

Unfortunately I don't have a good tach yet. I do know about shifting early though. I raced this car for 6 months or more before I lost it. Plus I raced my '88 all the time when I had it. Not many people I know can really drive these cars, I have 4 years of practice.

 

Great,I wanna check it out at Denny's

 

Sweet, I'll have to check yours out too.

 

Sure but I'll be in the GTA which is mostly stock
I wouldn't drive that far (4 1/2 hours) with that cam unless I ownd some stock in Exxon.

 

Try 8 hours.

 

Omg I'm retarded, I have the X286, not X285.

 

Omg I'm retarded, I have the X286, not X285.

 

All I can say is I hope you have a gas card with like a $1,000 limit.

 

No doubt. I have a friend coming up to Crete with me, and he said he'd pay half the gas. Better than nothing. This is definitely not a daily driver anymore.

 

Get some miles on her so you can get any bugs worked out now.
It sucks to have something go wrong, hours from home.

 

a new battery and I am up and running again. I feel like I will have the slowest car there though. plus since the rear end was rebuilt right before it went into storage, I can't even jump on it cause the 3.73's aren't broken in yet. oh well.

 

If you guys need anything I'm 3 miles off I55 at exit 63 RaymondIl it's 1 hour north of ST louis...It looks like I'm going up sat and coming home that night

 

Thanks for the offer Tony. Like I said, I have an 8 hour trip there and back. No telling what'll happen. Hopefully nothing. We're gonna get a toolbox with a few things we think we'll need for the trip, and hope for the best. We'll be heading up on Friday, and prob staying there Sat night, and headin home on Sun. Really depends on how long the Fest lasts. Might be getting a # from you or somethin though, just in case...if you don't mind that is.

 

I'll help with wrenching and moral support if needed.I plan on heading out Friday morning so I can be there for the bomfire get together the night before and camping out Fri,Sat night.

 

This sounds like it is going to be one kick **** show. This will be the first car show with my car in it and what better way to start off than with nothing but third gens! BTW- Mikey, I need your address and stuff so i know where to meet you. I'm the kid with the black firebird that comes into Murray's all the time. Anyways, here are pics of my car....

 

Its not really a show. And you shouldn't expect every car to be show quality. Really about 1 in 10 cars there might qualify for Show quality. Though many will look very nice, just not perfect. And there will be cars that have glaring defects (mine for example with its faded/peeling paint and crack in the front bumper cover.

 

hmmm so you're saying my camaro with its 5 shades of black and gel coated hood isn't show quality???

oh well.....maybe i'll have the 10 point cage welded in by then

 

OK here is my cell # I check it twice a day but for the weekend of the meet I'll be watching it:lala: If anyone needs anything or just wants a place to stop and have a beer,just give me a jingle..

EXIT 63 Raymond IL
