Friday Night
 

I enjoyed the first friday night meet I went to when I first became a part of the Norcal thridgen club and I was just wondering if anyone wanted to have a small friday night meet sometime? Just to cruise around and what not! Let me know what your guys' plans are and if anyone's interested in having a little friday night gtg.

-Robby

Im down with that I get out of school between 8pm-9pm

Just tell me when and where :)

theirs a few things i need to fix before i go out cruising.

muffler..rear rotors..torque arm bushing.

but they all are ordered and on its way.



did you know when you call a store asking for the torque arm bushing.. they are like wtf? and look up control arm bushings n ****.

you must have called kragens:thumbsup:

no actually i called autozone because mcquay norris doesnt make that bushing.

and whoever autozone goes through doesnt make it as well, they only had the energy suspension listed.

why don't you just get energy suspension?

why don't you just get energy suspension?

why don't you just get energy suspension?

ok so maybe in a few weeks or so? I'm fine with whenever so as long as my car is cool I'm cool :) How about del, will, travis?

I thought energy suspension made decent stuff??

idid order the ES mount. i recieved it today. i found out its not a direct replacement. gotta drill out the old rivets and slide this one over the torque arm then clamp the bracket over it. its a one peice bushing.

I am down with a Friday night meet as well. Just give me at least a weeks notice or so.

Sorry folks, no meetin' on weeknights for me, at least this month.
I get off real late at my new job.
Hopefully in June I'll promote to something else and will have a night life again.

We will miss you Del. If you don't mind me asking what do you do now for work? I know you were working for the county or state I thought. Anyway, hope to see you out soon when you get the chance.

Can I come? I own an F-body and I used to own a thirdgen....

Of course you can come, the more the better. :)

I'm still working for the state, just promoting and moving up in the ranks.
I worked for Corrections, now for the Dept. of Justice.
Should be bouncing to a different level in the department by months end and I'll be free again.
Good weather is coming and I do enjoy a good cruise/gtg on a Fri/Sat. night, especially with the possibility of some safe street racing. :D

Sweet, nothing wrong with moving around, especially with the state. Glad to hear you will be free in a month or so. Safe street racing sounds good to me when the weather gets better and we start meeting again on the weekends.

I wanna race will:D

so where you guys all goin to meet?? and when

umm when our cars are running? lol

I'll race you Robby.

cross_fire3, we usually meet at In&Out on Sunrise Blvd. off hwy 50 on Friday or Saturday nights. Are those good times for you? Would love to have you come and hang out, also like to meet another person with a cross-fire car, this way we can race. :D

yea well im pretty sure u would beat me if we raced lol my car's old it was a hand me down from my mom it's stock besides a
exhaust.i put all my money into the inside. right now im just tryin to fix the body then ill get the go fast goodies. but hey i'd like to talk to you and see what you've done to yours

No problem, I can show you what I have and help you out as much as possible. Nothing wrong with fixing looks first, wish I would have done the same. Had no choice though because after I bought my car the engine and tranny, etc. took a crap. Anyway, hope to see you around sometime.

Look at it this way Will, at least your car had an engine and trans when you bought it!!! :D

I'd rather have her run sweet than look sweet.

From 20 ft you can never tell my 'ROC was T-Boned, I'll fix the one ding left eventually...

Is there going to be a date for this meet up or is this just like whenever, hope to see you :lala: stuff

No date for this meet. It's really not a meet, just a gtg. Every summer on the weekends we try to plan gtg's whenever it's good timing for everyone. They kind of just happen and are sometimes short notice, don't worry, we will start talking about a specific day sometime soon when it's good for everyone.

10-4 good buddy

deezl out :D

Yeah, I'm sure we'll get a better idea on some dates for gtg's in a month or so. I really am trying to get my bro to come out to the meets. He's a little more interested now that he cleaned up his interior a bit with some 4th gen seats out a '99T/a. They are pretty nice, 800 $ though yikes. I think he'll come to one eventually! Let's see what should be my next mod? I was thinking headers, but I would need to get a new y-pipe i would think cause the stock one would bottle neck my exhaust. My bro(aaron) got the wrong style headers for his afr heads, and he will sell them to me for 400 (dual cats, and 1 3/4 ceramic coated headers). Must go faster!

Don't the Edelbrocks come with a new y pipe?

I'm not sure, I thought the slp was better quality?

Travis and Alex both have them on their cars and I don't think they've had any trouble with them.

SLP's are better and the edelbrokes are ok but I heard the best deal are the hookers just as good as the SLP's but half the cost, I think their $350 or somewhere around that range

most of the headers come with a y-pipe SLP, hooker, hedman, edelbroke

I vote for going for the headers upgrade Robby. That's next on my list also as I know it's holding my car up from it's max potential, thirdgen's are choked by the stock exhaust.

SLP - 1 3/4 I think are the best, too expensive, might not be smog legal in CA.
I was going to get their 5/8 ones because I like SLP products and have a few already, but I got a good deal on my Hooker headers, and they came with the y-pipe.
No matter what brand you choose, If you care about how they look, make sure you get them coated.
Mine look great going on 2 years.
Edelbrock makes good stuff too, I have their 'runners.

Man the weather is going to be getting nice quick. ..
Who's down to cruise/race next Sat. night? :D

Next Saturday night cruise, and racing, sounds good to me. I'm down. :driving:

the SLP's are legal if you get them with the air tube( you can get them with or with out)

Im down for some cruising I may be in my nissan so I will lose any race so maybe I can make robby and will fill good with a win under their belt's

Yeah,Hookers are what I was going to get for the t/a but they were pricey.I know a set of headers will give you a noticable difference in power.

Isn't it like a mid 80's 300z Terrell?
I bet you don't fair too badly as some of those are 16 sec cars depending on year.

My Hookers and subframes were the 2 best mods. .. so far.

can you run dual cats on a single cat car? Reason is the parts I am/want to get have a 3 inch y-pipe, but it's welded to dual cats? Is that legal to put those on my single cat car?

Hey terrel, as long as you bring something slower than low-mid 16's I'm good for cruising. Actually the car has felt a little better after we've rebuilt the top end and replaced a few things. With a good launch you never know I could be at a 16.1, so watch out. :cool:

yeah you can go dual cat 'cause it came on the later thirdgens but if you have a dual cat car you can't go single

yeah its an '86 300zx non turbo, they say it's good for about 140rwhp and 160rwtq(with a good running engine)and mid 16's in the 1320 but who knows. I'm sure I would lose to just about everyone unless we go from a roll. the little 3.0L doesn't produce much torque so any V8 would rip me a new one off the line.

damn!!! now I wanna :driving: it :crazy:

alright so saturday:

5/14 ?
5/21 ?

either one is fine with me, hoping the weather stays good, though it always wants to get in the way! Anyone interested in meeting in a different location....say more towards rocklin just to mix it up a bit? It's near douglas and the beginning of sunrise, and it's a bit more spread out than around sac-town, possibility?
Plus I know the roads around roseville better than hazel,manzanita, greenback, fairoaks,etc.

I think 5-21

yeah we need to find a new meeting place I hate in&out

I vote for 5-21 also. New place to meet sounds good to me, In&Out sucks and is crowded and draws way too much attention. That Mels Diner on Douglas was a nice place the few times we have been there. The back parking lot is nice and quiet, large enough, and we never got bothered there so far.

Hey Robby,Did you say you needed another mass air flow senor?If so I have a high flow one you can have.Just let me know and I'll bring it to ya next time we meet up.

well the ecm is still giving me the code for it, but the cars runs okay. That'd be great if I could try it out to see if there's still a code or not. Thanks.

the date is still planned for 5-21 right?

i may or may not be there..... ive been workin on the rs gotta get these cars going, good news is i got my radiator today i was starting to miss her hehehe

anyway now when ever i get around to it ill put her back together been doin little stuff like fix my damn cigerette lighter wiring problem and put new horns in, engine bay cleaning small stuff that has bugged me that needs fixing.

ill let you know most likely not

I won't be down for the mini gtg's so we can try it when I see you again.Sometimes,I wish I lived down there so I had something to do once in awhile.The only car guys up here are really old and have expensive cars or are ricers:( Ugly ones at that.There's one guy up here with 13 inch spinner hub caps and a shaker scoop taped on to the hood and a (looks like home made wing)on the back of his civic.

5/21 = Sat.
If you guys hang out on 5/20 I can prolly come by for a bit after 9pm, see how the action is.

friday's cool with me---------now

NO MORE SCHOOL -- take finals on tuesday/thursday

i gotta check my schedule today.
