Re: Florida thirdgens
tampa checking in..
timing is really easy, you should buy a cheap light and do it yourself. as for the drive shaft, mike's driveline is good but nothing ever worked on my 91 other than replacing the shaft with a used one that was good. i'd call around to junk yards and ask for the 4th gen alum one. one told me 100$.

Re: Florida thirdgens
Good to see some Tampa people. I lived just outside of Tampa in Plant City, right next to Lakeland. I'll move back one day, but i'd like to get something started early so I can just join in rather than having to start out slow.

I just tried to register for flthirdgen.org and it said that the website was currently not accepting new registration. Is the website still up and running? After not having a third gen car for 10 years, I finally just purchased a 1992 Trans Am vert (previous car had in high school was a 1986 Firebird).

Re: Florida thirdgens
if youre willing to drive a little. Greenflag racing is in Valdosta GA. Its about two hours from J-ville. The guy builds everything from street motors to big time dragster motors for customers all up and down the east coast.. A little pricy but you get outstanding work.

Gainesville here. Just bought my 85 T-top Z28 last Wednesday. Now the whole family can go cruising together. I still love my 89 Corvette convertible, but no back seat is a drag now that we have a son.

Pensacola here!
On June 30th it will be the 20th anniversary of my love affair with my 88 IROC Z convertible 305 tpi 5 spd loaded out. Flew from Pcola to Fort Worth to get her. I get just as much of a kick out of her as i did 20 years ago.
