Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

i think i may be attending this year. Hopefully i will have my new paintjob and all my upgrades on plus a lil more... I live in Grand Rapids. So its only a few hours from me. Just gotta get time off work and come up with the money after dropping what im guessing will be 4500 bucks for paintjob, exhaust and to have all my motor upgrades installed!

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

Id like to go but I dont know if I can get the Z going in time and have it prove its self eneough to drive that far its only 200 miles round trip but the motor is still in pieces in the garage.So is this just a show or what all goes on at this shindig? Id love to see everybody on the strip.....I know a great little track about 150mi south of Crete Il.....Group race in 2009??? That or ORP in Indy isnt too far (and real close to me!)

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

I have never missed a TGFest and I won't start this year. I will be there with my new custom leather interior and engine work in my '92 and hopefully if I can make enough money a new carb and paint job on my '86 (which missed it's first Fest in '07). A great time s always.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

Im planing on being there again this year, even though I dont have the 'bird anymore. (Had to find it a new home due to emissions and the fact that I inherited a restored '37 Chevy Pickup.)

However... I know someone who does have my car and hopefully he will make it after last years absence.

cats don't matter you'll be fine, although with a 305tbi why would you even remove it? you'll never notice the difference.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

i noticed a def difference because before the engine acted sluggish on takeoff and after i cut the cat out and put an open element on the intake i could def tell a better reaction in the engine. Plus the egr valve doesnt work anymore so now it dumps more fuel in, so i get a lil more hp but ******* gas milage, but im putting a high flow on prolly before i come down..

Passing through states doesnt matter the only thing that matters is the state the car is registered in. If you are clear and green there then thats it your fine.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

Ok guys can someone show me where my engine block number is when we're there?

Also my car is rusty in the quarter panels and worried what some people will say whan I'm there. Should I put some bondo and use car spray paint to doctor it up???

Hurry hurry times running out

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?

i wouldn't worry about it, perhaps while there you should ask around for tips on fixing it the proper way instead of hiding it for the show
