no, but I might know somebody that does. I'll probaly see him on sunday. let me ask him and I'll write you back a PM

Thanks, I'd appreciate it. It might be better to have someone local with experience racing the 3rdgen chassis strengthen mine using materials at hand rather than aftermarket components. It won't ever be a track car but it eats up those roads in the Ozarks and the Rockies.

Anybody know where I can find a third brake light cover for my 86 IROC, the one that mounts on top of the hatch. I'm having a really hard time finding one.

Just got off the phone with JD's they have it advirtised, along with a whole lot of other stuff. But only have a few parts in stock at the moment.....

I'm actually going to pick up a few things from him today. Thanks for the suggestion.

Pab's

iTrader: (2)

Yeah he's a small time guy he can get you the stuff but it might take him a few weeks good prices though

Mancha87

Picked up a few items from Kirk, hes a pretty cool dude. I was going to go down & pick em up but he offered to bring them to me since he was already coming down.

Can't wait for this show. Just a little over a month now, I'm trying to get the car finished up by then.....the amount of $$$$ I'm spending on the Z is starting add up & the wifes not buying that whole its an "Investment For The Future" thing anymore lol......

is that box all that is needed for it to work???

I don't want to litter this thread so I'll try to keep the answer simple:
depending on the vehicle and tail light configuration, you might need to use some extra wire and/or add sockets. Instructions can be found on the STS page when you scroll down.
For Camaro tail lights, you will need to make a slight modification to them. See this TGO thread.

Okay just quit my job for school is first, thinking about selling my car and get a 91 rs later on (GAS is so expensive with a 5.7L thats 16mpg ). So with this said I don't think I'll make it this year. Sorry guys

DiabolicalRS

dont sell your car man! you will regret it later for sure. just leave it in front of wherever you live and walk lol.

DiabolicalRS

i heard bad things bout those guys. i personaly never dealt with them but i have heard bad things,like they dont return phone calls or emails. but i could be wrong not tryin to bash those guys. good luck if you do decide to deal with them

BlackenedBird

iTrader: (5)

They have returned every email I've ever sent & all within 24hrs.

DiabolicalRS

than i guess your one of the ones who has a good expirence with them

58mark

iTrader: (3)

it would be nice if you're going to speak ill of somebody for you to actually have personal experience with a company.

DiabolicalRS

you know what you are 100% right. but if you didnt read what i said then ill say it again "i personaly never dealt with them but i have heard bad things,like they dont return phone calls or emails. but i could be wrong not tryin to bash those guys. good luck if you do decide to deal with them"

58mark

iTrader: (3)

I read that, and that's what I was responding to. To counter that, I've never heard of anybody that had a problem with them first hand, and every time I've written or called them, I got ahold of them right away.

DiabolicalRS

ok thats good than. im glad you had a good expirence with them.

BlackenedBird

iTrader: (5)

I might be new to TGO, but I've not heard of anyone with bad experience nor could I even find a thread about a bad experience with johnnydees.

DiabolicalRS

word of mouth, a friend of mine has a mopar and this is what he told me. and again im not trying to bash on them simply cause of what i heard. let me just apologize to all you guys who have gotten offended. (they deal with mopars too just to let you know)

58mark

iTrader: (3)

I see what's going on now.

The mopar side of the business. Is handled by somebody else. (( Who is trying to sell is half of the business btw) so I can see why there are conflicting reports on doing business with this company.

From everything that I have seen, the third gen side Is easy to deal with

DiabolicalRS

ok sorry i should have said that in the first place my bad guys for the misconception.

BlackenedBird

iTrader: (5)

If I understood him correctly, johhnydees said they are getting out of everything except the 3rd gens.

I guess if it is handled by separate people, the other guy is getting out

flu_by_u

Just an FYI, the MOPAR side is handled by Kirk's father. When I went to Kirk's place a while back, I couldn't find it. Called the number posted on the website, an older gentleman answered. When I told him I was lost and didn't see any thirdgens at the posted address, he stated, "Oh, you're looking for my son's place."

DiabolicalRS

yea mark told me. it was a misunderstanding

flu_by_u

Anyone part of http://www.gtasourcepage.com/forum/index.php
If so, maybe you could throw a link of the gathering on those forums.

Mancha87

The guys @ JD's are first class. I bought a hundred dollars worth of parts off him. I live in Houston and was getting ready to drive out to yoakum to pick the parts up, but he offered to meet me somewhere since he was coming down to Houston anyways.

Someone who did not care would have simply let me make the trip over instead of dealing with the inconvienece of meeting up with someone.

I'm very excited about him being @ the meet hopefully he brings a ton of parts with him to choose from.

don't forget, we have a facebook page for the roundup! invite any third gen friends you have that may not be on TGO

ThirdGenFire

I'm gonna try and make it out there. Hope I can but I got laid off and so we'll see how fast I can get a job again. Having a 6 month old doesn't help. Gonna try but even if I go, no 3rd gen, to many problems to take her so far. I'll let you all know the status of the El Paso fellas.
