What have you done to your 3rdgen lately 2
 

Ok let's bring this back.. Considering we are trying to keep every ones information on What is being done with each others Rides.. No need for any secrets right?;)

A few weeks ago my Transmission started slipping in 3-4 and it went out.. I bought a friends built 700r that was proven to hold a 10 second car.. The trans is great best Trans I have felt..
I picked up a few thing lately also.. I bought Mikes Alum Drive shaft.. Awesome deal.. along with the Global West pan hard, 24lb Accel Injectors.. I finally bought the base for the Vortec heads.. I pretty much have every thing I need to rebuild my 350.. it looks like it is near there.. Awaiting We know who to free up his hands:)

Well, I used my car to beat up on the team Bunny car.

I am almost done!! my 406 is ready for installation ;) I just need some time to drop it in :D . Also I am thinking to put 4L80E insted of 700R4. I guess the car will be ready within 2 months including the paint.

Well I decommissioned my vehicle and let Vince think he won a race against the Blue Bunny with his Super Rammed 305. :D

As you have read my cars at Dyno Don's getting an upgrade. Here is what he is installing.

1.Trick Flow heads
2. Flat top pistons with total seal rings. 10.5:1 compression.
3. New cam.
4. Major exhaust rebuild and repair dented headers. They are SLP Tri-Y's 1 5/8 inch.
5. Total port matching with SLP runners.
6. Extrude Hone Edelbrock TPI manifold.
7. 24# injectors.
8. Custom Erpom by Kevin.
9. Traction mods.
10. Ceramic coat headers.

I got my window switches finally wired up right and hidden under the 4th gen center consoles ashtray area (where they all love to install thier fan switches). today.

then to finally finish my dashpad correctly,

And im putting the parts together for the ls1 front disc swap, working on an extra set of spindles so i can bolt everythign up in one go, but the hunt isnt going so good :(

See my previous posts about my broken valve spring and "refreshing" my engine.

new valve springs
1.6 roller rockers
thinner head gasket
3.5" exhaust
port-matched heads
a sprinkling of carrot juice

Some interior work.

Rims and tires. Other than that the money I have spent towards my car lately has gone to gas:eek: :doh:

Ive cleaned out all the school $hit in my car for the last time... graduation next week!!!

Please! We all know there's a 350 under the hood of the Blue Bunny. Come strong or don't come at all. Just drive the car and don't be scared. Enjoy reading my license plate. It's has been around forever.

Where do I start? It started to be a 1985 California IROC, but we found the car too badly damaged and jury rigged around the firewall area to be a good build. I got a 1987 TA lg4 car with non world class t5. Don boxed the lcas & panhard rod. We pulled the fuel tank, and put in the fuel injection pick up and return tube assy. We converted the tbi roller cam 350 from the wrecked 92 RS into a speed density tpi. We swapped in the 350 with a world class t5. Don converted a tbi engine harness to tpi. I installed a Wonder bar from Lon. Don welded in the Alston sfcs, and made up a set of perimeter sfcs from some 2" x 3" x .125 square tubing I bough and welded them in. Don and Kevin burned a custom chip for me. I also installed one of Lon's headlight kits to get my pop up headlights working again. There are probably some other things I'm forgetting.

'90 Trans Am
 

The 355 is all machined for the T/A (4-bolt main, steel crank,new cam, still waiting for the heads) need to start throwing parts at it to get it set up and install the 9-bolt and T-56. & front 1LE brakes Still have to send it to the paint shop.

The list of things I'm hoping to do this summer keeps getting bigger, the longer I wait! So far I hope to have done soon: 4th gen brake upgrade, Wide Mouth Intake (from Mike's) and a steering brace, and get rid of those 225's. Mostly just geting started.
Are you graduating cali92RS? Way to go! That looks hot, JERRYWHO.

Well, I picked up a quick ratio steering box from Thomas over at HOC in Canoga Park. Getting it rebuilt by Lee Manuf. over in Sun Valley. After that gets installed I'll move on to my brake upgrade (C4 HD)... then I'll be done..... for a while.;)

I got some 1LE rotors turned down into hubs for my upcoming upgrade of my 12" 1LE brakes to 13" Vette Grand Sport brakes. Just waiting for the calipers and rotors to arrive.

Proud to say CSULB Class of 2004!!! (along with some guy who drives a blue 85 z28)

I've been doing some weight reduction. There's too much rubber on my tires!:D

Firstly Congrats Cali92, from CSULB class '90, and another Carson derelict!

I have finished delete on AC unit, moved and re-routed AIR stuff to clean up engine bay, welded in subframe connectors (home grown) and lit my carpet on fire in the process :doh: bought new wheels, (no tires yet) and am finishing the body work in hopes of getting to the paint work sometime next week.

So Cal

Sold the RS
Used the Springs from it to lower the IROC. I am still waiting for two goodies to show up at my door step. I just hope that they arrive in time for the 29th!

Hey Jerry,
What's with the stock seats? I figured you'd have some Kirky full race seats or something. ;)

Let's see,
I installed my 1LE front brakes, replaced the rod ends in my rear suspension with nice new Aurora rod ends.

I'm also getting ready to buy my other Sparco seat so I finally have matching front seats and I'm looking at some KYB AGX shocks and struts. :cool:

Sold the RS. You can see what the money went towards.... :lala:

Ripped whole interior out of '83. I am taking a body class this summer and will be painting it myself. I will reinstall the interior after it gets painted. Target date is the whole car to be done a year and a half from now.

Ripped the whole interior out of the '82 too minus the drivers seat. I re-upholstered all the seats in my upholstery class and have a roll of carpet and headliner material ready to go. The interior won't be installed untill after it gets its new engine and paint a couple years from now.

Nothing! it's all stock and original and in near mint condition with only 45k on it. i've done nothing to it and will do nothing to it!!!!
i do have one of those camaro thingys that i use for going back and fourth to work. it's a 84 Z28 HO T-5. it's a beater, so i don't mind messing with it. But the T/A stays as it is!
:D

i haven't been on in a long time, when i signed on, i used the wrong name....lol anyway, what i said above goes on this name.

:doh:

Hey Alex, good going on finding the buildsheet for the 83!! :cool:

hmm lets see
 

my cars front end was messed up, so I replaced the steel bumper, headlight mount, and the left fender, then with a new bumper and skirt

My trans is sitting in pieces on a table somewhere. Thats about it.

I broke my rear end! :lala:

Replaced a broken valve springs with new Lunati dual springs and Lunati Cam. Kevin burned a street chip for the combo that pulled away from the Blue Bunny.

Trying to find some money for a new G-Force T5 Transmission.

Uh.....I don't think so:D
(climbs into a box to hide) (or duck);)

New Battery!
i bought...eh the cashier screwed up and gave me a free replacement battery even though I told him the warranty was up.

Oops! Sorry Don!

Yea, I have a new I-pipe, muffler, and LCA brakets. Custom Dyno Don install.

Installed new seats, working on a updated fuel system (hopefully support a NOS setup) , install a battery kill switch and Driveshaft loop.

I changed the oil and checked the tires:o

How much does Lee charge again to rebuild those? Just the Basic Z ratio..

:eek:

Lee's Mf
 

Well, I just picked it up yesterday after dropping it off Tuesday. Took a little longer and cost a little more than I had hoped for...but not more than I anticipated.

Came out just a little over $250. Now, to get it installed:D

Well,
Put on a plate from a different state, but has the same letters!

Oh ya, I washed the car!
Put it in a bigger garage too!:D

BTW! 82FirebirdTA!

2 questions George, Do you have a big enough garage to park and access all of your cars? #2. Have you got all of them running and registered, yet. I just thought of a third question. Parts of Arizona require smog checks and other parts don't. Do you have to smog your cars?

Had the tranny rebuilt, convertor restalled, new LT1 MAF w translator.....and on yeh some new chrome stuff under the hood.

Hi Russ!
I am still moving! On my last load right now, that's why I'm back in town!
I am here for two weeks, then there for two weeks, and such, since October last year!
I only had time to do the 20th TTA out there!
No smog on cars where I am, which is great! Heck, the dealers sell car with all the smog stuff torn off!
I haven't had time to work on all my cars yet! I've been busy setting up stuff! I've got lots of shelfs to build, and tons of boxes to unpack still! And that's with 5 storage sheds up and filled!
I have 3 cars in the garage, so I'll have to add on to the garage to fit all 8!
One of the first car projects will be dropping a 455 into my '81 Trans Am!
I am still collecting parts for the '74s and the '70!
We've been too busy wall the things going on out there as well!
PT Cruiser River Run
Corvette River Run
Model "A" River Run
Mopar River Run
Harley Davidson River Run
Route 66 Run thru Kingman
Man, I have never seen so many cars!!!

You guys should come out and visit! heck, plan athird Gen River Run! I'm about 20 minutes away! Our speed limit is 75 mph too!

Later,

George:cool:

Team bunny cleaned the 4-yr old virgin air filters, tracked down Vincent, challenged him, and handily beat him in a heads up. Go Team Bunny!!!!!!

Next time I'll replace my special 87-octane chip and fill up with 91-octane along with tires that have some forward bite ;)

After our spirited drive Vince and I returned to Dons shop and Team Bunny treated everyone to lunch. Its not just about winning, its about knowing when to win...

:driving: :D

:doh:

My record holds 5 to 1 to Blue Bunny. I spun a little too much out the gates but I was picking them up before we had to get off the gas for safety reasons. Next race I'll be 6 to 1 on team Bunny. They still have fear in the 86 Z28 because they know that I can get them on top end. They can have this one victory.

We shall return in top form without any changes.

Replaced the seats in the IROC, again, and fixed the breather filter this weekend :)

Got my 4th gen interior installed
