concord N.C. here

i go to nascar technical institute in moorsville (a hellasious 35 minute drive everyday) i have an 88 z28 camaro which is definitally a work in progress about to drop a new engine in it. another friend of mine has about 5 or 6 third gens at his dads that he's been working on with his dad for a while. definitly something to check out so if anyone ever has any meets or events that are coming up me and him would be glad to meet up and show off our rides with ya. although mine isnt much to look at right now its a work in progress like i said but it will atleast light the tires once i'm done. anyone local to me?

 

Wow dude, I didn't know you drove 35 minutes to get to school! I live in Troutman, so its 15 minutes for me. Mooresville sucks on traffic though, so I do all of my shopping in Statesville.

 

you say this like you KNOW its true. but i've look on a couple links you gave me in another thread and it doesnt say anything about 2006. where did you find this information and/or is there a catch?

 

i have heard the same from several mechanics and inspection stations. I also read it somewhere cant remember where. All inspection stations are going OBD II only for emissions january 1, 06.

And to the person that asked about the iroc hood, sorry don't have an extra

 

hey from down goldsboro way.

took my car for an insptection about 3 months ago. they told me all she needed was the "usual" inspection since it was a 91 and that is what she got. smiled all the way home.

the cat is as hollow as a prom queen's head too.

 

does anyone here have any kind of meets or anything like that around concord or atleast in a decent radious. me and my friends would love to go and meet some fellow 3rd geners.

anyway about the emissions thing my neighbor whom is a machanic works at an inspection station. maybe it would do me some good to go talk to him about this 06 thing.

 

I'd be interested in helping organize a charlotte area meet after I get my Camaro done. Or if someone else gets one arranged before then I'll bring my fiero for kicks.

 

Im from Franklin NC, in macon county. 1/2 from GA line, 1 hour from TN line, 1 1/2 hours from SC line. Hit me up if you on NC's tit

 

whats wrong with ur 3rd gen and when will it be done? we'd probably have to wait a few weeks anyways because my friend who has a 3rd gen also has to get his new cam + heads on. but if we want to start maybe planning a meet around here we can go ahead and let other 3rd genrs know and maybe make this think a decent size crowd. i've never really been to a "meet" or a "drive through" or what ever u want to call it so i dont know what you do exactly but i'd love to meet other 3rd geners and maybe learn a thing or 2 and check out everyones rides. let me know if anyone is interested in getting something going?

 

Im interested but im from Hickory and have to get my new trans put in too but im very intrested everyone around here drives Mustangs.

 

what is wrong with my camaro is that it is in pieces and has to be assembled. I was gonna do a 89 iroc but it turned out it had frame damage, so i got a 91 rs with a straight body just one dent in the roof and had a messed up hood and bumper. Then i gotta put in my interior pieces. the car had grey im going black with 4th gen seats, and it had a 3.1 im going with a 305 TPI.

I plan on getting my interior done this week. Only thing holding me up on the motor is i got to buy a Cam and headers.

 

well i have lots of friends from school (atleast 5 or so) that are total f-body fanatics and would love to have a meet but not all of them have 3rd gens. some have 4th gen trans ams and such but either way its still support so i guess if we get enough people to respond and be interested in a meet then we can get one going. or just go to one thats already planned. anyone who sees this thats interested ask around with some friends and see how many of you want to do a meet. i have at least 5 friends who are interested.

 

yeah we have way too many mustangs around here too that think they have the baddest ride in the world. its gonna be sweet putting my new engine in and kickin their butt on the road.

 

by the way most of my friends are from moorsville (which is where i go to school/NTI) so i dunno if that makes a difference. but if we do get a meet going it doesnt have to be in concord. besides i'm sure if i posted something around my school i could rally atleast a good 10-15 people/cars. but i guess before we consider a meet it'd help if i knew what you do in a meet since i've never been to one. do you just go somewhere and hangout and chat? i meant do you all drive together somewhere? what do you do?

 

Just let me know, we could host it at my business. but no real drive by traffic or good places around here. As it is in the back of an industrial/business park. I run a f-body parts business with my dad. But we got into a few niche cars which is how i got my fiero.

 

I would just like to meet up with some other F-body people and meet and greet and check out some of the rides and let people check mine out. Its not finished but it is my life project(it seems) and its would be cool to get ideas too. This website has helped me on alot of great ideas but it is also great so see first hand what others are doing to there 3rd gens.

 

What is the name of your shop and where is it located. I like supporting local businesses?

 

We are HorsePower Motors. Down south east of charlotte off of highway 74/independence blvd. Near Dale Jarret Ford. We are working on getting zoned appropraitly to do repair for customers as of right now we can only work on "our" cars. Our website is www.horsepowermotors.com I forget to update it very often like on our currently parting out.

 

Seems like a cool shop. Hope to do business soon(when i have some more money anyways!!!)

 

alright cool, trying to build up my local customer base especially to get rid of the bigger parts. Just call us up whenever.

 

you dont have or know someone who has a 9in or 12 bolt to fit a 3rd gen do you

 

No I don't but there is a drag race shop two doors down from my shop that builds rear ends for the drag car he builds. Don't know how much he would charge to build one for a third gen or what not.

I talked to my dad about hosting a gathering at our shop he is all go for it. How does Saturday July 9, 2005 Sound for everyone? There are a lot of windy backroads around here too so we could cruise around. Bad part is you would all have to follow my fiero since i dont think ill have my camaro back together in time. We could grill out or order pizzas just hang out. I can show people around the shop.

 

well i guess as far as where we have it doesnt matter to me but i'm sure it will to some. we could have a meet at your business i guess just to lounge around and meet other people/rides. does anyone have any other ideas as to where we could meet?

 

has anyone heard of jillians at concord mills? they have stuff like this all the time. i wonder if maybe we could have it there. plus its a VERY populated area cuz people are there all the time at the mall and all the retaurants. what does everyone think?

 

July 9th there is a USAR Hooters pro cup race a Hickory Motor Speedway im going too but the next weekend would be good

 

carolina rides did a meet at concord mills and got run off by security cause of the people revving their engines which is inevitable really. I agree with the restraunt and more visible location thing. I got a few people interested in coming down here but to me it doesnt matter. It is kind of a shameless promotion of my business lol. I could pass out fliers though. let me know cause I need to know whether or not i need to start prepping and getting the word out.

 

this is the one we use here in Houston......just keep some with ya and put them on third gens you see at the store etc.....helps to get the word out....

I didn't see you at the F-body meet at mooresville last sat. Not as big as I thought it'd been,but the drag racin part was alright

 

You were there? I didnt see you either. I got there around 4 pm and left around 6:30. But there wasnt enought cars there but that blue 4th gen was running like 6.50s. did you bring any of your cars down there?

 

Does anyone know of anyone that can tune a carb car, GOOD, around the Hickory area?

 

yeah i got a couple more people from my school wanting to go but i guess it would help if before we did anything we decided where it would be at?!?!

 

or what if we had the meet at an f-body shop? like f-body motorsports or something like that? that way we all could still meet and we could buy stuff we need if needed or maybe see some dyno tuning or whatever...i dunno just a thought.

 

Kannapolis, NC here

 

Im in Hickory

 

I was at the f-body motorsports show too. Can't beleive I missed talking to some of you guys.

 

Did you have your car there?

 

Me and Billy McCall drove my SS down there but just went to look.
Yeah the blue camaro was kinda impressive but must'a broke something b4 we got the camcorder out to video tape the drag racin.
Thought Jon was pretty good at carbs. Is a Demon? Matt & me did the demon on my drag car and it seems to be working good.

 

Yeah i had a 750 demon on my car when i first built it but it was too rich. now i have a 650 holley (crap) and im looking for a 650 demon. But it is the best and fastest carb ive run yet.

 

Yep. I won 2nd place (out of 4) in the 3rdgen class.

 

Yeah i think i saw ur car there was it red, cause i voted for it i think. Sorry my car wasnt there it has trans problems at the moment. It would have been the only carbed 3rd gen there i think

 

Hey Hairbear what happened to the HOT ROD BARN!!!!!

 

Matt sold it to a guy named Casey. Casey owns the gas staion on Old Shelby road that sells the racin gas. Matt's lil brother is helping casey out with the store.

 

so what is Matt doing now

 

Truck Driver
