ANyone want to hook up at the Sonic Show (FM1960 and Aldine Westfield) this coming up Saturday?

I'll most likely be there.

 

Yes I do. I will be there assuming the weather is good. Car is running great, finally

 

Weather looks promising!

 

Cool. I am really at the point know with this car where I need to do a custom chip. I have the reprogrammmable chips, chip burner and software on my laptop. I don't have a cable to connect to the car to get data, and I don't have the know how to burn the chip. With the Superram intake and headers, IM sure I could gain a lot by tuning changes.

 

PM me about tuning........

This thread is to see if anyone will be attending the Sonic show this coming Saturday.

 

I will be there, along with fbodtrek and most likely 3.1 Eyecandy if all goes well.

 

Zap, Scott, Neil .............. any of you guys gonna make it to the show?

 

Damn, everyone is gonna be there. I might actually have to drive my car out there one last time before I park it. Or I could bring my pimp grand am out there and make you all jealous

 

I'll go if you will tune my chip earlier in the day b4 the show

 

Stevenk - PM me about tuning........

Herb - Hey man, don't make fun, the Grand Am is BIG PIMPIN' !!

:hail:

 

My uncle wants to knock the paint off and primer it black. Also gonna try to take out the couple dents in it as practice and spray some flames, lol.

 

lol, cool ! Take pics!!

Herb, you gonna make it to the show in your TA this saturday?

 

If I can get some new collector gaskets on, I should be able to. Gotta take out a small loan though to put gas in it. The woman wants to go to the local pontiac dealer to look at the GTO they have so I'm not 100% sure yet. :hail:

 

If you guys end up getting it, you have to take me for a ride!!

 

Lol, will do. I doubt she'll want it though, she likes little girly cars too much. I've almost got her talked into it though :lala:

 

is a shame upon the original (IMO). Doesn't look muscular aaat all. But, If you got the money....... Decent looking family car though.

 

Wasn't thinking of the heritage of the GTO.. I was thinking of the LS1 under the hood:hail:

 

Well, so far we have the following attending the show:

Me
Sonar_Un
F-bodtrek
Larry Dunlap

And possibly:
86WS6_TA
StevenK


Any others gonna make it to the show?

 

Possibly? unless my tranny dies on the way I should be there

 

Let's pray the T-5 holds it together!!


FYI:
The Sonic show (FM1960 and Aldine Westfield) starts at 7:00 pm and usually goes on till 10:00 pm.

If you need directions, PM me.

Mike

:rockon:

 

Seems to be an epidemic lately. First Scott, then Me , Now Hitman..... Little suspicious.

 

I just had my tranny in the shop a few weeks ago....it better not do it again or i'm gonna drive my car into a tree

 

Double post

 

That's why's I got's da 6-speeds!!

 

too rough on a stick. I hate city drivin with one.

 

I'm getting home tomorrow afternoon. My brother and I are going to hit-up the local hangout later tomorrow night, but I can probably make it up there for a couple of hours. What time will everyone be there?

 

Well, I'm not going to be able to make it. I have a possible buyer coming to look at my car.

AND before everyone goes screaming about me selling my car, it's for a good cause. I won't say any more until I know the deal is going through but let's just say I'll be a couple steps closer to having an LS1 powered thirdgen <insert evil laughter>

 

Wow, it was nice that everyone showed up.

There were 2 other thirdgens that showed up. Neither one of them were members of the boards. One of them I met earlier in the week at Wallmart. Sorry no pics.

 

sorry sonar, I came up there to chill with Mike and he had 'car problems'....but i'll let him explain that, but we did intend on going had it not been for the unforseen technical dificulties.

 

What's so hard about that .

 

Well aparently tomball doesnt realize how many third gen maros they have there, so none of the parts stores had any relays to replace it......so its, ummmm, jerry-rigged.

I was just gonna let him use my relay to take the car back to the shop, but it was a different number on the relay, WEIRD

especially since our cars are almost the same.

 

It wasnt just a relay. The relay socket for the fan relay was melted.... I brought him my old TBI harness (for the socket) and a new relay this afternoon, so maybe next week.

It'll be at least mid-april before I get my pile to a show. I've pretty much decided on having my spare 700R4 rebuilt, just not sure who's going to do it, or what parts are going to go into it...

Scott

 

I was there from 7:00 to about 8:15 or so, nobody showed so i left.

I called your cell but got a bs message, did u get a new number??

Im thinking of going to baytown soon and I know you need #'s on the bird and the vette has never been..............

.....a re-match maybe????

 

Well damn, I showed up there at 8:15..

Anyway, there is a quite a stir in the air of having a HRP run. A bunch of guys are all wanting to do it. I really need to get some new #'s on the bird. Oh, rematch? Deffinitely seeing as how the bird is running WAY better than even when I raced you in Dec.

Yes, I did get a new number, sorry for not updating you. I will send you a PM.

 

I was getting ready to head up there on Saturday and I noticed a pretty big puddle of transmission fluid right below my recently installed TH350. I spend the evening trying to figure out where it was coming from. I looks like its coming from the tranny dipstick. I bought a Chrome dipstick specifically for a TH350 at the auto parts store and dropped it off at the shop. The Dipstick mechanic that installed the tranny apparently didn't get it in right. I noticed there was some black Silicone around it that was coming off in my hand. Apparently he saw it wasn't going to seal, put the silicone, then when it got hot, the silicone came off and it started leaking. Its not a huge leak, but its very annoying.

Hopefully next week we can try it again

 

Sorry guys, I had car problems. The car got upto almost 260 degrees!! (no fans)

Ended up hardwiring a switch in to make it back upto the shop.

Scott was kind enough to bring me a pigtail and a relay to replace the burned up ones.

We'll try again next weekend. Hopefully more us will be able to show up (including myself).

MIke

 

I made an HRP post if anyone is interested in heading out there this Friday night.
