where are all you guys at and is there any north west fl F body clubs

 

I'm in Gulf Breeze...BTW I don't know if you know about it yet but there is a big Trans Am show this coming weekend in Fort Walton. Check out http://www.starsfl.org/ for info...i'll be there with my TA...as far as local clubs...not any that I know of...check out GCFBA.org for info...i know they have some gatherings occasionaly.

 

also check with www.fl-thirdgen.org

 

gulf breeze is right down the street from me I usally go out to bayfront in pensacola on the weekends to see whats out there.
I plan on going to the trans am regionals Ive been lookin forward to it for awhile now. I know a bunch of guys that I work with and know that have Fbodys but there are no local Fbody organizations in the area.

 

Gulf Coast F-Body Association

www.gcfba.org

Nice group of guys to hang out with.

I'll be down there end of May at the hotrod shop. Won't be bringing any Camaros though. They're all down for work. :/
But if anyone wants to chat with a mod..

 

I'd be at home for the summer at the beginning of may till August probably.... could have a little thirdgen.org FL mini-meet or something.

Just a thought.

Anyone in their club with a third gen? IIRC, the last time I checked there was only a 1989 IROC.

I wish we had a third gen-exclusive club around these parts.

 

i know 3 people that are good friends in ft walton that have camaros and 1 with a formula and here in niceville its just me and my brother with our firebird and trans am. i dont know if its considered a club but we go cruising around alot. going to the trans am nationals tomorrow.

hey jza,
the people that are mods are stupid why would any one want to see one of those? u better get in touch with me when u do come down

 

...the guy w/ the 89 IROC is a good friend of mine... last time I talked with him he was going to sell it. There are 2-3 other guys with thirdgens, but back when I was still in Pensacola they were not regulars. I was usually the "thirdgen" guy when I was there.

Of course then there is a real thirdgen on the boards, but I don't think he has paid dues or plans on it. TJ88Z28. He's on here once in awhile too. Baadddd '88 IROC.

im from jacksonville, 89 camaro rs im currently working on..
this is my first 3rd gen so im still trying to work out the mods ill be doing to it, hoping this board will help me on that also.

 

I got a thirdgen also. I am member of the gcfba club. It does not run farther than my driveway right know. Hopefully by the end of the summer it will kick some 4th gen butt.

My first car= restoration project.

 

do youhave the yellow ZL1 that runs around pcola all the time

Ive tried to register on gcfba but it will never take my password

 

That is me, but I don't drive it all the time and I have only taken it to Pcola a couple times.


Contact leedog on the board. He will make sure you can get in.

 

I live in tallahassee you know me from www.racingpensacola.com i am trying to get a club going for the panhandle people.

 

yes I do just let me know if you need any help with the dash conversion I would be nice to have a thirdgen club around here
if you need help I have run a car club before so I can give a hand because it can be very time consuming

 

cool thanks i hope to do the conversion soon i will let ya know how it going i am sure to run into some question as i am now doing dash, door panals and center console.

 

Thirdgens in the area finally coming out of the woodwork, I see.
I would get involved in a local thirdgenclub.

 

3ZZZ i belive i saw your car at the trans am gathering thing out at the island and was it covered all over with mold????? also was able to see it at the track. The first run got a little loose half way down the track after burning them quit a bit. Did u get some DR the last run? seemed to get pretty good traction.

hey smithtc you get those springs changed out yet? i was going to take my car next week but the bike fest gathering or what ever it is, is happening the 23rd so i guess i have to save it for the week after that. got a lot of new stuff to help make me be able to tune my car a little bit better. hopeing to see a good gain but always disapointed Hopefully i see u there by then making some runs in.

 

 

Firbird- I hope you weren't serious about the mold comment. There was some oil and tread on the side of the car, but not mold.

THe first run consisted of frustation (waiting an hour to run), nerves (everyone excepting alot out of the car with a driver that rarely drag races), and embarassment (the burnout did not go like it was supposed to). I think it went 9 something.

THe other two did have the dr on the back.

Second run 8.6 at 89 mph
Third run 7.82 at 90.5 mph

 

Finally finished fully porting some 083 heads. IN the process of swapping them on as well as doing a few other odds and ins. Takes more time to get finished than I would like. DOesn't look like it will be ready this weekend...probably next weekend of 30th at best. I think once you get your car dialed in you should see some 7s.

 

Im down in south Florida in Boca Raton. anyone on here around there?

 

Firbird, yeah, I'll be sure to try and get in touch when I get down there. But you know how it is... too much to do, not enough time down there, and I gotta set aside two or three days for travel.

Nate, hehe.. I know the guy with the 89 IROC. Can't believe he bought that thing for $500.

 

One of us is talking about a different 89 IROC. Probably me... but 'IROC350' on the GCFBA board is the only one that I know of that has an 89 IROC that's in the club.

Might have been a different guy, 'cause I'm sure the guy I'm thinking about just has a 305.

 

checkin in from Jacksonville. I got an 88 V6 camaro that needs some body work and paint job, hopping to get a summer job and make some money. Also thinking about putting a Flowmaster 80 series on, any opinions on that.

Check out my cardomain site

 

Orlando here.

 

Well I can’t say that I was not serious, I might have made it sound worse then it was. when I walked up to it there was spots all over it don’t know if they were mold but odd color spots that looked like what happened when I had a car cover on my car for a long time. The car is very nice though, one of the nicer cars at the trans am show too bad it was the show was based on firebird models or your car would have been a good competitor

 

orlando florida here im mostly out beating ricers might hang out with the third gen club at hooters saturday night

 

Cool glad to see another Orlando area person. Ty 91Z

 

hey,
im from ft. walton beach, im pondering the idea of a local meetup if anyone interested either email me back or message me on yahoo at drewhodson3 or aol statixdrew3, let me know guys

drew

 

it would be nice to meet up and share knowlege

 

Gainesville here. I am origanally from Ft. Walton though.

 

Holy crap batman, I thought I was the only member from Boca!!! I know I really am not, but sometimes I think no one is S. Fla. likes real cars!!! But to answer your question, I live in boca, at least until August...

 

i live in southish florida by sarasota. anyone around me?

 

Tallahassee

Not many third gens around here, though I did see a nice 91 gray Firebird with what looked like a couple of high school guys in it, right in front of Northwood Center.

 

Hey all I am in the process of selling my convertable. If anyone is interested in a 92 f-bird convertable feel free to email me at formie95@yahoo.com. I am selling it to get a newer model. It is a very nice, solid running car.

 

..............

 

FLYNLOW92RS I got a bunch of friends headed to FSU ...in fact I almost did...instead I'm off to The Citadel. Beautiful car BTW, I'd love to see it in person.

I wish we could get a thirdgen club or atleast a little get toghether once in a while. Even if it was just meeting up and cruising down to Bayfront in Pensacola and embarassing some R I C E R S.

 

If I were to start a northwest Florida thirdgen forum (I would just say Pensacola but I know there are probably more not from here than there are), would any of you guys regularly post there?

I've been thinking about doing it for some time but never got around to it. I know both Lewis (305RSlc) and I would post but I don't know many other people around here with thirdgens... even though I see quite a few of them lurking around town.

 

I would post if there was something to post about.... heh. I dunno what to say most of the time in the regional forums except "yea I'll try and be there" .. or "yes I live here" posts.

Just moved to Cocoa, Fl. Looks like I am going to have to drive to Orlando to meet up with some Thirdgens. Guess it's time to put the top down and go for a ride.

Tell me what you think so far.

 

Hey marineengineer, welcome back stateside. Im right down the road from you. I live 8 miles west of I-95 and 520 in Christmas. When you go for that top down ride let me know and I will go too.

 

Fort Lauderdale Here.....and I am really tired of listening to imports with coffee can mufflers. Kind of loosing faith in turning wrenches...seems it is becoming a lost art.

Could use some friendly faces to hang with....

 

Oi... I thought you meant a forum section on here (thirdgen.org). Thought that was a bit odd.

*goes off to smoke some more crack*


-Bud

 

I live in Boca for the next few months. You could check out sffba.net Lots of 4th genners, but still better than imports with coffee cans!!

 

West Palm Beach here.


I am a member of the Sunshine State GTO Association which is an all Pontiac club. As soon as my GTA is done I plan on showing it at local shows with my club. We are hoping to expand to newer members and anyone with a 3rd or 4th gen Pontiac feel free to join up and come hang out with us.

You guys should check out the forum I have set up and tell me what you think.

It's for all Northwest Florida people so that's pretty much everyone from Tallahassee and westward.

Just check it out and post if you want. I'm trying to get some activity going over there.
