hahaha all this drama reminds me of high school. (last year)

girl #1) your a bitch!
gir l#2) no YOUR a bitch!
girl #1) i slept with your boyfriend!!
girl #2) you BIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna cut your pretty little eyes out!!!!

see its very annoying. just shut the hell up. MOD please lock this thread.

 

Is that a serious question?
I think he has already made his answer very clear.

 

Ya I got to thinking about the story, and who cares if its true or not. In the least you got a hell of a response. Wish people where more willing to respond to some of my "need help" threads. Maybe I will make up a story every time, then follow up with a question.

Who r u directing this to? If its me then yes my car is stock. I dont race it. Plan on doing some things to it one day, but no money right now. My car came with a motor and trans that had a fresh re build. So modding the motor is last on the list.

I do have proof of the rebuilds. Was done in 05 buy the guy that had it before me. I mileage on the car then was 85,9xx. Mileage on it now is 89,3xx. Trans got a shift kit then. Total rebuild cost was $1,210.84....

Motor was from Marshall (remand) with all the regular things replaced at that time also. Hoses, sensors, ect. cost on all that was 1,258.00. I have proof! lol.

 

I noticed a lot of your threads you started have been answered, maybe thats why nobody responds (like me) anymore. Just seems pointless helping those who won't help themselves by doing a little research.

Read the stickies, a lot of great info is there. Maybe even look up Fast355's 305TBI Build Thread (IIRC he was getting around 430hp)

In this thread you state you don't know anything about the LO3
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tbi/...ii-intake.html

So I think you need to go into the TBI section of the boards and stay in there and read all the stickies, then once read, read them again and take notes. Believe me, reading is well worth it. Especially since you can say YOU KNOW this and YOU KNOW that, instead of I heard or I think.

Take care, hope you find your way.

 

I am a newbie and yes I input into some threads, mostly body which I KNOW what I am doing. I joined this forum for the tech info and this post caught my eye. I posted about a motor that had a miss in it and got no response. Joeblow posted about racing for pinks and gets 2 pages of replies. Something about this seems wrong. If Joeblow beat this guy and got his civic, great. If he is lying who cares. I used to have a 4th gen ws6 with mods and had some good wins (not on the street). I also have an accord with mods that I use to keep the miles down on my GM vehicles. I wouldn't dare race an f-body in my Honda for anything. Its too slow. Can he beat a civic? Absolutely even with N2O on the si. Did he race him for pinks? Who cares. I didn't loose the car and neither did any of you. As for the bra. Its his car and if he wan't to put a bra on yay for him. Not everyones car in here is everyone else's "Ideal" looking machine. I personally don't like them but maybe his girlfriend does. Maybe she bought it for him for a gift and he is just trying to keep his dignity. I am not defending him or bashing him. I came here looking for tech info for me and to give what I KNOW for sure to others. To give experience to people so they might not make the same mistakes as others. Racing for pinks might be a mistake for some unexperienced stockers. Younger members beware. Don't chance loosing your ride.

 

^^ well said nub.

 

PROFILE ??? 35 yr. old hanging at mc donald's in las vegas ??? eng. LSX or LO3 ??? tornado ??? leaf blower ??? TOO MUCH B/S from this guy to believe anything . most likely a young teenager with a wild imagination . the forum name sums it all up .

 

I am however interested in that Lsx, Joeblow. I want some pics and info on that setup! Those Lsx blocks have had my eye since they came out.

 

Never mind the BS...I am interested in doing an lsx swap out in a camaro at some point and would like to see pics as well.......

 

Yes sir you are right that I do not know much about a lot of motors. I do try to search for things, but when I do it ends up just being a day of reading things that dont even talk about what i am searching for. My way around it is to just ask. Hey if we didnt have new questions on here, no matter how many times they where asked before then not many people would be posting anything. Then this site might as well be craigs list, ebay, or a place to show off your cars.

Honest working on cars is not my strong point. I started doing it cause i had to. It has turned into something that I like, and in the last 5 years I have spent well over 15k on tools to do so. Not much to some, but a lot to me. When I post I do say well I heard, or I think cause I dont know for sure, & would like to. Thought it was better put that way then leading people to think I do know what i am talking about. Also someone always seems to know for sure, so I say my 2 cents then find out if its right or not. I also never stated that I knew it all. You even brought that point up. I say I dont know, or I heard.

fast 355 has been a lot of help, & is a great guy. What I would like to know is how do you guys now what past threads to copy and paist when responding? Not everything is a sticky right? What am I doing wrong when I search for things? Also something id like to know is how the heck do you post pics in the center of a thread? I would like to document some of the work I do on my camaro's. I will also have a lot of parts for sale soon.

 

apparently you missed my (and joeblow's) sarcasm.
its ok.
i got into the 8s by putting a lot of NOS stickers on my car.
that way the timer pees itself and forgets to count right.

 

Dear Joe,
I want to run a 10 second quarter, please tell me exactly what your engine build is and attached drivetrain so i can be as fast as you are.

i think the person has finally realised that all his b/s stories have caught up with him . a b/s'r can only b/s another b/s'r .

 

can someone check his ip. he sounds very familiar....

 

wtf. when did i "EVER BS ANYONE"?

 

This is hilarious, just like high school!

 

post pics of yourself next to the engine bay with ls1 in it and holding a sign that sez 305 FTW!
then more ppl will prolly believe ya

 

Dude its worse lol. This site is 60/40. 60% Cool - 40% drama. I didn't even start the dam thread. How many times do people think bs needs to be called on the guy? Stick up for him (kinda), and they find someone else to rag on.

 

That right there is funny. Can you post up some of your mods that got that car into the 10s. It looks a little street friendly to me, especially the tires.

 

alright.. ya know what... after all the talking back and forth .. you have convinced me. at first i had my doubts...but I know plenty of 35 yr olds that would do this. nothin wrong with that in my opinion. nice work, nice car.

 

Yeah, I noticed the tires too. They don't look like anything you'd see on a 10 second car.

 

I really like this guy. Well said indeed.

 

Im going to throw in a lil piece of my opinion this aswell.Though I have been on this site for awhile...I dont post very often.On the subject of this race about being 35 and hanging out at a local Mcdonalds..that I can easily believe and my reason for it is that here In Toronto..doing that is like our local street racers hanging out at every Tim hortons you see.I see older than that ready to run with all types of cars on a friday and saturday night.Age has nothing to do with a passion for cars or racing or none of us would be on this forum section.I might question the part of racing for pinks..that isnt a normal thing to do out of the blue unless you built up a grudge match in your area.The likelyhood of him winning the race with an lsx in a thirdgen against a 09 civic i see easily even with the civic on spray.I raced one myself with my 355 with a 75 shot and pulled a win but it was close ..real close up top.

I do agree that with finding answers on here using the search feature hasnt been very accurate lately and just asking on a new thread yielded me faster results to solve my issues..big or small.Alot of threads do have information thats very useful but reading 100posts before finding the one you needed in a thread is irritating aswell.

Finally Joeblow since your new and getting flamed rather early here i say if you want people to respect that there is any truth to your race.A pic of the hood open proving your lsx would put to rest that the car itself is quick for sure.lsx in thirdgens are highly respected here,theres no need for all the bashing and arguing here if you back up that your running what you claim.Has the car been down the track with that setup..or dynoed..showing numbers would help aswell.

 

Well I still don't see any pics......and has anyone looked at his other post he has done (click on his name and go to 'other post by joe') he is rude to everyone...telling people to sell their 'junk', their ideas are no good, their stuff looks like crap, I haven't seen any encouraging or usefull post by this guy yet....I dunno about you guys but I get on here to learn new things....help those I can help out...buy/sell part, and tell on occasion some stories......

 

Well Im not the type to bash on anyone even if they are rude..internet wars is just stupid.But 91interceptor Id like to know more on your build.It looks spot on the money of what I want to do for my next 355..maybe 383.What ecu are you running?

Hope pics surface on this thread and answer some questions though if possible

 

ECU?? everyone around here calls it ECM the computer your talking about right....electronic control unit...(i know i know....that's something i shouldn't have to question).....anyway if that's what it is...stock computer with tuning from pcmforless.com

 

hold on a sec gonna try to put a pic on here...never done pic before....

 

let me know if this pic worked.....this was what it looked like on stand...except different valve covers..

 

Thats awesome dude.Im surprised your getting those numbers.Im sure you have quite a few kills running that thing.

 

1. True, but if you keep asking then people SEARCHING for the right answer have to go through 500 threads (as you have probably had to do, which makes searching for you hard like you state) about what intake filter to use or what exhaust is out there. You see what I mean, yes we would have less posting but a lot more useful information and not so much crowding of the TGO website with the same thing.

2. I said if you research you can say I KNOW this and I KNOW that. I didnt mean you said that, just if you read a little more you could.

3. Use keywords, also TGO is using a basic search function now which doesn't use every word you type, just common words.

Ex: Instead of typing.

What intake for an LO3 motor

type this

LO3 intake

So that eliminates extra words that are essentially not needed.

I have been on here almost 3 years and what i do is when I find something I will need or find useful I bookmark it to my favorites. Where i have all my pages split up into sections like shown on TGO (Exhaust, Suspension/Chassis etc..)

Organization is key to remembering. At least thats how I feel it helps others, as Im a big OCD in organization (not literally OCD but...habitual)

 

OK someone please tell me how to post pics on here. I can do the putfile thing just fine, but what about posting the pic right in the thread. wait let me see if this works. Nope cant copy, & paste. Someone tell me, **** lol.

 

i'm suprised that picture worked....i've never been good with putting pictures on here.....it looks way better with the aluminum valve covers on it and installed in car...that's an older pic....it's fun...the reason I think I'm getting the power I think is the 60 hrs of porting work on heads/intake/and headers.....

 

Ok I will try it your way. honest though its not like just one person (me) changing their ways is going to help much, but ill do it. Not above me. So how about the pic question? Im bugging till I get some help on it. Dieing to show off my new $150 89 rs.

 

Aww see thats it! how did you do that???? Looks good man.

 

91 interceptor you have the same headers i do. where did you get them (mine came on car when i got it and i always wanted to know what kind of headers they were)

 

They are cheap flowtech..that have been ceramic coated and the round flange changed to semi round to match headers....but year $99 flowtechs....I've never had a single leak or problem with them....

 

same here, no problems, no leaks, work great. not sure how great they are HP wise.

 

unless some proof is posted.

So what's done to your LS1? What are you track times?

 

Now here is a picture from about 3 or 4 years ago....if not longer...hardley any mods with this pics....I don't have those wheels anymore, or headlights..but it gives ya an idea

here is me at the track....more recent...and yes i'm in there.....I really should take more pics of car with digital camera...

 

how do you make pics big??

 

Um.... what!

 

in the thread if u click on them they get bigger. on your computer u can resize by going clicking "start" to "my pictures", double clicking the picture then right click the picture. Go to "edit pictures" then to "resize" Click the "percent of original width x height" take it up however size u want then push the "ok" tab. Then exit out. It will then tell u something like "changes have been made would u like to save"? then click the "save" tab. Then your done.

 

sweet thanks

 

And to top of the thread, a new users very first post: throwing the flag.

This thread is great. Where did the OP go anyway, back to neverland?

 

He's trying to go buy a Hon-duh Civic and then resell it to take a pic of the bill of sale.

 

Nice!

 

i got one i won off paul walker.
he can buy that one from me if he wants.
i dont have any pics or anything though.
and i won it in a race for pinks on my bike.
its a 10 speed, so i can shift gears a lot and win lots of $$.
i put a bra on my bike to keep the bugs off the paint and to make people think i am slower so i can $$. race.

 

Hey guys. Im the new guy who through the flag. I know im new, and i dontwant to disrespect anybody, but jeez oh man. Thats gotta be one lonely boy with a lot of spare time on his hands to think of something like that. Anyway. I just bought an 87 Z28. Looked over it with a fine tooth comb b4 i bought it. Really clean except it was overheating, nd had a bad rear main in it. Pulled the 350 out of it and stroked it, as well as a bunch of other bolt on's. Whent through the heads, ground them, ported and pollished. Was just about to put it back in, and thought that ide clean up the wiring a bit. Traced them back to under the dash to a big melted blob of copper wire and melted inselation. In ordr to replace the wiring harness i wanted to pull the carpet up, and found out that the floor boards were wacked and packed with bondo, and was all about to fall out. I cant believe this crap! It looks so good from under the car. Even sounds sollid when you knock on it. So needless to say, now its just a bare shell sitting in my garage waiting to be blasted. So much for buying something i didnt want to put that much work into....lol. Sorry guys, just blowing off some steam. Thanks for having me!

 

Wow... you got a lot of work on your hands.
Here's some encouragement, maybe, at least someone thinks it will be one of the more desirable third gens... eventually: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/hist...-car-look.html
I just read that thread before right before I read your post, that's why I thought about that.

 

Thanks man! I hope everybody is as helpfull. Hopefully i can help you out with something at some point. I will not post ANYTHING if im not sure about it so you can trust me......lol.
