anyone from Georgia??

 

Hello...TimRS from McDonough. I own two black LO3 91 RS's...one automatic and the other a 5-speed. Not too many GA thirdgenners seem to post here for some reason. Just in case any are out there, Tanger Outlet Mall in Locust Grove has a show and shine every third Saturday of the month starting up soon. It usually runs early evening until dark. Definitely need more third gens showing up.

 

how far is that from canton ?

 

McDonough is about 30 miles south of the airport. Where's everyone else?

 

wow lol im about 1hour and a half north of atl.
somthin like that dont think i'll be able to make it hehe

 

I'm down in Valdosta...actually I just moved here about 2 months ago. I went to Silver Dollar Raceway last Friday for the first time...took me about 2 1/2 hours to get there but it sure is a nice track! I didn't run though because my 2nd gear is starting to slip.

 

all i got over here is the dixie speedway =(
and a back road that everyone races on

 

I live in Acworth. I am new to the boards here. Good to see all of the usefull info. I am a new owner of a 1989 IROC-Z w\305 TBI. It is in the shop right now getting a brand new 305 and a few other things this week. It needs a little help, but maybe once we get her cleaned up and runnin' right, we'll have to attend one of those shows at Tanger Outlet.

I'm from Forsyth about 15 miles north of Macon

 

Hey fella's, I'm also down here in Locust Grove, next door to Mcdonough.


Anybody know any emissions places that will give a pass for a little extra cash? It might come in handy when I do my engine swap.

 

hey .. just dump some alky in .. works everytime !!
really hard to test for NOx and CO2 when there isn't any


TVP

 

Oustanding!!:hail:

But is it fool proof?

 

DISCLAIMER ... this guy is NUTS .. don't do anything I
ever tell you too , or you WILL BE killed !!! ..you have
been warned !!!


the method I've been using is ..... run your car down to
enough gas for the trip ..3-4 gallons .. add in 3 gallons
of methanol .... I get it from my karting connections ..
most hotrod shops carry it too ... if your car is fuel injected
it'll take a minute or 2 for it to cycle in , then another
minute or 2 for your car to adjust ... if it's carb'ed you'll
need to rejet to make it run right :\ ..but you can just
make the trip running bad ...done it a FEW times !! ..
keep in mind .. if your in an emissions testing area ..
then your gas has 10-20% alky already ... your just
upping the content ... and don't let the car sit with that
much alky in it .. run it ALL out and get a fresh tank
of GAS .. alky eats plastic and corrodes aluminum !!

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

Warner Robins here.

 

Jonesboro, GA. here. 20 miles South of the airport. Near Southlake Mall

 

It's pretty neat that some of us aren't too far from each other. I live in Millegeville. And I also am about to beat my RS in the hood. lol. Needs a new tranny

 

hey .. my partner , Kent in Commerce GA .. has a V6 700r4 ..
I think .. let me know ..

TVP

 

We all need to meet up sometime.

 

Give it a few weeks and I'm in.
(Conyers,Stockbridge and Atlanta)

Redraif,
You were looking for some door panel pics a while back (stock gray ones like yours used to be).... I took some, but they turned out so bad I didn't bother posting them. They are dark and grainy and I doubt they'd be of any use.

 

Stockbridge seems to the be the hang out place in the South. I went by K-Mart off 138 2 wks ago and the lot was packed at about 10p. Last summer it was AMC 24 in Morrow, then Sports Authority, then Media Play. Everyone goes where the cops aren't. I can't believe the cops run them off. I figure it would be good to know where all the car people are. Just set out a few patrol cars to say keep it clean and civil. It would be cool to get a pack of third gens over there to make a showing.

Seems Barrette pkwy is the place up North. I think its a larger import crowd though. I know some of GAFBA meets up there informally on Fridays. I haven't been up there yet myself.

Hey, since you will be here soon, I could see the panels and take some shots myself. Whatcha think.

 

Hey TVP:
Remember that rearend we put in the black IROC last year when I was all stove up?
Just wanted to let 'ya know it's still runnin' strong, many thousands later.

Thanks man!

LP fram SC

 

so noone around in the canton/cherokee area??
ya'll south of atlanta

 

I'm in Thomaston, right in the center of Atlanta, Macon, and Columbus. I'm going to try to make the Tanger Mall deal, it's not too far from here. Maybe if I hang around some other 3rd genners it will motivate me to get my bumper covers and hood painted to match the rest of my car. 86 Camaro w/ 400sbc.

 

I live in Statham. It's 10 miles west of Athens, and about 50 miles east of Atlanta.

 

Hurtin4HP,

I sold my 91 rs wheels and tires to a guy in Thomaston. He had a grey camaro with red stripes. Do you ever see the car?

 

Rob:
I thought that was you(in your first post)! Yea, I see the car every day...in my garage. I still plan on emailing you a picture, but I was waiting until I had a little painting done. I took those stripes off you were talking about and unfortunately a fair amount of paint came off with them, and I put ground effects on from a white car with grey effects so the nose and rear are white, and the cowl hood is still primer grey.
Good hearing from you,
Dave

 

Dave,

You had actually e-mailed me a pic of the car before. It was right after you put the wheels and tires on. I thought it looked pretty good then. I would like to see a picture of it when you are through. Good to hear from you.


Rob

 

To All Southside Atlanta ThirdGenners:

Let's make a showing at Tanger Mall in Locust Grove. I believe the next show 'N' shine will be Saturday May 18. There is really no set time as far as I know but generally 5 pm until dark. What do ya'll say??

 

Hey man.....I think it's just you, me and that guy from Gainesville. Down there in the plains of GA seems to be where it's at, as opposed to up here in Riceville.

Does anybody know where the GAFBA meets on Barrett?? Like 2 days after I got my car and had her all purrtied up, this hot chick in a 3rd gen on Hwy 5 told me about the association and gave me the website, but I have no idea where they meet. It's import central down there on Fridays and Saturdays.

 

i know it is import crazy.. my friends go up in thier lowerd pimped out trucks (lol) and they tell me to come show off my camaro but i aint gonna take it up there till i get it painted and get my cowl hood =D but i havnt heard of any organaztion or whatever..but i dont that many 3rd gen people here but i like about 20minutes from barrett if i take 575

 

Well, I know they're meeting there, because they mention on their website. (http://www.gafba.com) The only problem is they don't mention where on Barrett. Oh yeah, by the way, it's not a 3rd gen club, they're a f-body club, but I'll take what I can get.

 

well if you find out where they at let me know and i'll tell a few guys on here that live around in our area and we all meet there if the GaFBA arnt there it wont be a total loss there will be about 4 of use 3rd gens

 

Sounds good to me. I have wanted to go down for one of the Tanger show 'N' shines

 

You have to get on the mailing to list find out. Its never a set schedule when they go on a Friday or Saturday night. Ithink lately they have been just going to meet up a restuarant and bench race for a bit becase the cops were running them out of the parking lots.

Sometimes taking what you can get is not all the great. GAFBA is an all F-body club, but after going to the their shootout this past weekend, nothing has changed. I remember going to a few events and no one really wanted to talk to me and the Wife becasue we drove a 3rd gen.
Our club made up over half of what was there 3rd gen wise. www.sethirdgen.org check us out!! We just had a blast getting together in Savannah with a cookout and a cruise and then over to Reynolds GA for the GAFBA shootout at Silver Dollar Raceway. Just an awesome weekend!!

Myself, I am about half way between Cartersville and Rome off 411. I just got my 89 Iroc-Z running with the new 408

You guys set a date and time and I am sure we can get a few more cars going to meet up. maybe head over to Silver Dollar Raceway for a bit of racing as well as it is not to far from the Tanger outlet mall in Locust Groove.


works now

 

Hey, your link didn't work....

 

Try this one http://www.sethirdgen.org/
Hope this helps.

 

Hey, guys, I live in Decatur on the east side of Atlanta.

I'm up for meeting up sometime, but my car's in that awkward stage right now after two recent accidents. It is running fine, however, so I can drive it anywhere you guys wanna go!

~Chris, 87 red/grey Trans Am t-top with cc carbed 350

 

Hey guys, good see so many 3rd gen folks in this area. I see quite a few third gens on the way to work in the morning so I know that there are quite a few around. On the way in the other day, I was behind a Vette, then I had a 2nd gen behind me and there was another 3rd gen behind him.

 

Another Warner Robins 3rd gen driver here. I have a '91 Z28 with a 305 TPI. And am currently working on a '92 RS powered by a '89 Turbo Trans Am 3.8 turbo engine.

 

Any 3rd geners drive Rt 92 between Woodstock and Roswell between 6AM and 9AM? I see quite a few on my way into work every morning. Just wondering if any were some of you folks.

 

Yeah me, westbound across town (Woodstock). I've noticed that as well; there's a whole crap load of 3rd gens, but apparently they're not enthusiast.

 

Who owns the Blue "Gungho" Camaro?? I saw it driving around the Woodstock area the other day. It looks like a sweet ride. Just wondering if anyone here owns it or knows who it was?

 

ME

 

Nice car! I have seen it a few times and wondered who that was. Now I know! If you happen to see a slightly faded maroon '89 IROC with dented in front fenders on the way down 92 west in the AM, that is me. It's a little rough around the edges, but we're fixin' her up a little.

 

I have found out that this Saturday, weather permitting, will be the show and shine at Tanger outlet mall. I was told that there was a large crowd last month so hopefully Saturday will be the same. Let's make a showing. See you guys there.

 

Where is the Tanger Outlet Mall??....and when?

MX265-
I don't recall seeing your car lately?..sorry...I'm only half awake in the morning when I'm driving. And thanks for the compliment, I only got her about 2 months ago and she's coming along nicely. I'm real short on cash right now, so she's been put on hold until I pay some of my bills off.
She's not blistering fast yet, but she can hold her own on the canyon carving. The plan for now is suspension and drivetrain, then I'll worry about going fast.

 

Tanger Outlet Mall is in Locust Grove. Take I-75 south about 35 south of the airport. It is the first Locust Grove exit (probably the only one). I believe the exit is for Bill Gardner Parkway. Take a left and go under the overpass and the entrance to the mall is between the Burger King and the McDonalds. Just follow all the hot rods. It will be quite a haul down from Canton and Woodstock...but come on down to the "plains".
