I'd be down with that. If you do, come to my place in South Bend. Heidt's is 2.5hrs drive for me so I'll only be there the day of.

Oh, and get a wideband O2 on it, will make our job much easier and faster.

I don't know why the FB page event link is invisible.

I wish we could also change the title of the forum to the current year and date of the event.

Last year I think there were 60+. Would have to look at the old thread.

Yeah, the weather really screwed us last year. A lot of people stayed home. Considering that, 60-ish isn't bad. If the weather is nice, we're expecting over 100 this year, maybe well over that.

I just checked the ThirdGen Expo FB page, and so far 69 people are coming, (some with more than one car), and 299 are interested.


We'll see....

We came in from Qc last year, which was ~16 hrs. It's a great event with great people. The trip alone is worthwhile.

I'm convincing some more people to come, so we'll likely have a Canadian convoy this year. :D

I'll be there for sure. Gotta make it 3 in a row! I'm not on Facebook, so posting here.

Re: 3rd annual ThirdGen Expo 2017!
 
I will try to make it. Been a while since I've even been in here. My IROC has been sitting for a while now.

chazman 05-06-2017 08:53 AM

Re: 3rd annual ThirdGen Expo 2017!
 
2 weeks from tomorrow! Hope you guys are getting ready!

As long as the weather is nice, we're expecting a record number of 3rd gens!

Re: 3rd annual ThirdGen Expo 2017!
 
I've been steadily working on mine. Just replaced all of the steering components last weekend and got the alignment done Tuesday. I would like to get the A/C all fixed up and the pinion rear end seal replaced before then. Otherwise I'm just getting in some drive time to make sure nothing else is wrong and it should be good to go. It don't look pretty with the rough looking roof and the right fender needing attention still, but it runs good.

chazman 05-06-2017 11:14 AM

Re: 3rd annual ThirdGen Expo 2017!
 
I've been getting a lot of questions on FB on if your car needs to be a showcar to attend. The answer is ALL 3rd gens are welcomed, whether it's a trailered concours car or a primered project.

ALL 3rd gens are welcomed!

Put me down as tentative. I just found out my wife will be out of town that weekend so I'm thinking of making the trip up to Chicago. My car is in the shop right now getting chassis work done and not sure I'll have it back in time. If I can make it then the interior will probably still be stripped out but as long as I have a seat, seatbelt, and shifter then I can make some noise.

Hope you can make it, gutted interior and all.


This may end up being the highest concentration of 3rd gens since Van Nuys closed down.:D

I just got the Facebook thing done too. Forgot to do that sooner. I think I got my IROC ready to make the trip. Just finished fixing the A/C over the weekend. I will probably be there right after 10am. Little over a 2 hour trip for me, but won't get to head out till about 8am.

I've got a graduation to go to - got more invested in this kid than I do in cars (if you can imagine that).

Maybe next year. ;)

Just got home from the Expo. Awesome time! I have a bunch of pictures to post. Should I post them here or make a thread? Might take me a couple of days to get going on it too.

Re: 3rd annual ThirdGen Expo 2017!
 
Go ahead and add them to my unofficial picture thread 2017...if you reply there it will allow 12 pics per reply....zero13
