was lookin at 4500 but willing to bargain.....ALOT of work into this car has been done

 

such i nice car what makes you want to get rid of it? a couple more weeks guys and everyone will see my car i hoping to have it all done and up at the meet on Oct.4 which is the day before my birthday! im so happy i just went and picked up the heads tonight and im finishing them up tomorrow having them flow benched sometime this week and the weekend of sept. 29-Oct 1 is when im going to be working on it and trust you will hear me coming that night at the meet God damn i cant wait!!!!!!!! Later Daniel

 

eh....I have another car 92' cadillac deville w/67,000 miles on it...ive had it about 3 yrs and havent drivin it a year....but the TA is getting to be too big of a project 4 me just living in a condo...no more garage means I can never treat the car to anything anymore....and Id really like to sell it to someone who has the same love for these cars as me

 

ya good luck i mean by i know that car means alot thats one of million reasons why i couldnt get rid of mine i would have to know its going to a good person who will treat it right not some dumb *** punk kid who will rap it around a tree the first weekend he gets it. good luck i hope you sell it hate to see it go it seems like alot of people are looking for 3rd gens to do a LS1 swap and despite what anyone else says they are cheap to build. hopefully wednesday will be a nice day see everyone out there Later Daniel

 

Miami here. I've had this car since 1992:



86 IROC w/L98 and 91 conversion (I did the conversion long ago...and now I wish I had the old IROC kit still on it).

I went back to school 'cause I need a career change. Once I'm out, I intend to rebuild her. Needs a bunch of stuff (motor / tranny / body / paint) but I'm too attached to the car to get rid of it. I'll probably fully restore the thing once I graduate and start working on it. It's currently parked with a blown motor.

(I've also been on this board for a while, mostly lurking.)

 

that blue is such an awesome color. havent been able to make it up to the meets lately, work has been killing me, getting out after 10 really sucks

 

i get out at 4am. i feel your pain.

 

Alright guys, the rain should go away and it will be nice tonight and all through the weekend! I will be out there tonight, and its a good chance Ill go to Old Town again on Fri. It was cool out there last week Lots of cars, only a few 3rd gens. though so we should fix that!

best thing about old town is its FREE to enter, and they do the "parade" down main street.

 

now thats awesome we can head out there when i get my car back! BTW 2 weeks from today like i said everyone is going to hear one bad *** loud Trans Am pulling into Sonic so just sit back listen and you will hear me coming strong pounding gears away god i cant wait im going crazy driving that blazer dont get me wrong im glad i have it over nothing at all but almost 5 months is just way to long to go without my baby. i will be out there tonight and i expect to see the gang again its been 3 weeks thats crazy Later Daniel

 

Nice to meet some of you guys yesterday.

Matt

 

I'M in new york

 

both the black and the white were real nice cars. I wish I would have gotten there sooner so I could have checked them out a little closer.

Good to meet you, and hope to see you next week.

Anyone thats looking for something to do tonight should head to old Town. Ill prob. be up there bout 8PM or so.

 

damn guys what a show you put on leaving sonic the way the black one looked as he hit it thats got to be hell of a ride. those are the cars that give a third gen a good name nice work and nice rides guys. i like the way the meets are turning out more people each week is nice. see everyone next week Later Daniel

ya sorry fellas that makes two of us i got plans tonight wont be able to make it out. hasnt been a good week. a dumb *** at work forgot to tighten a wheel on a truck sitting on 33" tires and had a wheel off so he no longer has a job well guess who has to take his place so that means cant go down to ft. meyers to put the heads on so i call justin to tell him that im just going to pick up the car tonight and he says cant happen! as he was welding the metal got so hot it melted the shifter cable and welded the cable to the floor board and held the trans between 4th gear and neutral causing it not to put all the fluid to 4th gear as a result in ****ed up the rear sprang meaning has to be taken back apart and rebuilt again the it only hurt the sprang thank god! so he is doing that tonight and putting it back in and thursday night im going down there and all day friday we are going to put everything on but the heads seeing how we dont have time to do the heads and exhaust cause i have to work on saturday, so friday ill have her back thanks god that will make my weekend. and im going to put the heads on a weekend that i can get off early and saturday that way it will take the weekend to do it. sorry so long just hasnt been going good and had to vent. but next thursday is my B-day so hopefully next week will be awesome cause ill have my car back to just go cruising. see everyone later on take it easy! Later Daniel

 

that sucks Dan. hopefully everything goes well and if anyone can fix it Justin can. anyways was a alright turnout me, andrew, and the guy with the black LT1 came out. hope to see your car out in the next few weeks bro. yo did your dad tell you my old car caught fire and now jon wants to buy my z.

 

Ya he told me crazy **** huh? but anyways as i said before the news gets worse well justin took apart the trans tonight and nothing was wrong with the trans that is but the converter that has 40 miles on it is shot! and im ****ing pissed so we are going to call them tomorrow morning and im going to tell them they need to warrant it out and send me a new one next day air and i want it in ft. meyers on sat so he can put it in and hopefully i can pick it up sun or monday night hell sometime before thursday would be awesome but seeing how my luck is going who the hell knows! well anyways take it easy Later Daniel

 

that sucks @ss yall tore the trans down for nothin, but even worse that the converter isnt something you just fix. hopefully they will next day you one. cant wait to see your car again. anyways i got some new stuff for my car, MSD wires, coil, cap and rotor. should be in by sat. good luck with the car. later shawn

 

well the converter im sending to some place in IL so they can tear it apart and see if it was indeed the converter and if it is they are going to fix it and send it back to me which i dont know how long that is going to take which blows big docky ****! but what can you do and also means that i wont have it for my b-day and i have to come to terms with that! dont want to but the only thing keeping me going is when i get it back its going to be a nasty bitch and im going ot enjoy every moment of it. and im going to look like this ! well fellas tkae it easy and no red dragon for alittle while longer life a bitch then you die! Later Daniel P.S. i need a beer!

 

hey guys is anyone else going 2 funday sunday 2morrow?

 

Yet another transplanted Miamian in West Palm Beach, here.

 

Miami...

 

Hey guys sorry havent been to the meet in awhile i have been really busy lately and couldnt make it out working things with the car and converter and work it self has anyone been going?

 

all da same people

 

Just to let everyone know NO! i dont have my car back yet! and its nobodies fault i was going to pick it up but a couple of days before just called me up and said dont bother coming down cause the car is not moving and i said WTF! whats wrong and he said the brand new $300 450HP horsepower converter took a **** so needless to say i had to send it back and after fighting on the phone with PATC about who is going to pay for shipping to IL for them to look at the converter and he paid for it and a couple days of shipping and them looking at it they said the clutches were flaking off and the linear was peeling back so they fixed and now it is getting shipped back to me. so he should get it back any day now and put it in and then i should get it back minus the heads and exhuast unless i go down there to do the exhaust but im not going to do the headds yet! Later guys hopefully see you wednesday Daniel

Are there any meets in or near West Palm Beach? Just curious... I get so bored with all these other multi make meets on thursdays....

Brian

 

I live 40 ,,imutes from West Palm and I wish there was something third gen going on around here...Nothing dedicated to our cars though i do see allot of them around here. We need to get something organized!

 

Don't know of any, but let me know if you find any!!!!
----------
I lived there for 6 1/2 years. Don't hold your breath. You live in ricerville!!=(

 

yo lets go to the track wed. instead of sonics

 

yo dan did u get your car back i thought i saw it tonight by burger king around 8:00

 

Damn!!! Is my car that noticeable? i have been driving the **** out of it and everyone is noticing it! Ya i got it back saturday night i love it. It awesome to be back in the red dragon. We didnt do the heads or long tubes but the torgue arm is in and the trans shifts great with the other minor stuff that we did i still have alittle stuff that i need to do im planning on going to the track the first friday of nov. so if anyone wants to head out there with me i wont be able to make it out the meet this wednesday something came up that i have to do so hopefully next wednesday everyone can see it. sorry guys i know everyone wants to see it seeing how i have been talking about it so much. Well take it easy and i will hopefully pull up next to someone and give you alittle show! Later Daniel

 

so i posted in the general engine area but now i will post here for my local guys. yesterday my car quit running, battery problem, tried to get a jump with no luck then see a little bit of smoke coming from the vents, so i take out the battery and get it tested, dead, come back with a new one and put it in, turns over real good but no fire, take off the air cleaner and notice that no gas is coming thru the injectors, so im thinking fuel pump problem, if anyone has somewhere for me to start looking please let me know.

 

when you turn the key to the on position can you hear the fuel pump prime. if not i would almost gaurantee that its the fuel pump. they seem to be a common prob.in these cars ive changed mine 4 times. good luck

 

i didnt hear anything, but i was at my sons school when all this happenedso it was a bit noisy so i probably would not have heard anything

 

Im in the Pinellas County area in Clearwater. I think I am the only Clearwater person here

 

Well you should hear the puel they are pretty loud i can hear mine at idle sitting in traffic and its stock (just waiting to go out so i can put a high performance one in) if the look underneath the tech articles you should find a way to bypass the puel so it will run with the key off its a way to test the puel. Does ot turn over really easy but just doesnt start? Another thing you can do is pull off a spark plug and see if it has fire. just to check. good luck
Later Daniel

 

well i read a post on here that someone posted and he had the same problem i did, so i found a fuse that was next to the battery and it was blown, so i replaced it and it fired right up and then quit again fuse was blown and once again smoke coming from the dash, electrical smell. so i took off my dash pad, nothing there, took off the lower dash panel cover on the passenger side and could smell electrical problems very well, well come to find out it was the ECU module, unplugged both harnesses to it and took it apart and it was fried, nice and charred. did some search on ebay and found someone who had them, they were called virtual bodyshop, called the number they had listed and he matched the same part number i had and it cost me 104.00 shipped, should have it in a few days. hopefully nothing else got fried.

 

hi everyone. im getting my '89 rs this weekend hopefully. the only problem is its v6 =( it will work untill i get enough money for engine swap though. i will try to make it to sonics with mike and "the turd" one wednesday!! i ve been with him, and the ***** kid lmfao dan, that is an amazing car! that ram air hood is sick
