The thirdgen looks like a freaking Miata next to that covered behemoth.

 

You do have plans! Bring your Formula to the Expo! First event on the calendar wins right?

What frame and exhaust work are you looking at?

 

I'm bringing a trailer with a plasma cutter on it, air compressor, half a firewall and a LS1

I'll claim it as new age art and steal all your trophies

 

Getting UMI SFC's (and a bunch of other UMI parts) and going try to get dual exhaust back. Still trying to decide on how exactly I want the exhaust done.

 

Im in sounds fun

 

Hey his car does look small next too my car lol well mine is a 57belair 4door 37k miles on it 70% original paint and rest car 100% stock . Next one we looking for a 1st or 2nd gen firebird. 😁😁 we are looking forward to go the event.

Ha ha son I see what u did to the hhr good one 😦

 

Can't wait to see everyone there. It's looking like we're going to have a pretty good crowd!

 

I would love to attend, but there is no way my Iroc will be done by then! So if I can get the time to do it I will be arriving in a rental since the DD only gets 11mpg lol.

 

My 82 T/A with a 406ci sbc an Eagle rotating assy., Edelbrock alum. heads & intake, Holley 670, 700r4 w/ shift kit, 3" shaft w/ 1350 series yokes & a Strange 12 bolt r.e. w/ a 3:73 posi & Wilwood discs. Il license plate: 1 SLO TA (50K original miles) on the odometer, not the drivetrain.

 

 

I'm bringing the GTA. This must happen.

 

Dyno?

 

I'm getting closer, but not close enough, fast enough.

But it will be done right.

 

Nice metal work man. Are any of your thridgens road worthy?

 

Nick fit metal, Craig welded metal and I played bitch work doing all the cleaning, prepping and primering. We had an assembly line going.

Nothing running yet, you see where the Formula is, if I get the TTA the trans will just **** me off and I don't have time to waste in between to get the GTA running.

If I can get 2 sold days ironed out with Nick and Craig we will easily have the floor done. Its just really hard with our schedules and their metal work is far superior to mine lol.

Engine bay is completely cleaned up and sitting in primer as well now.

 

Bringing the baby on the left and right.. First timer

 

Heidts is bringing their new 3rd gen project car to the Expo.

 

I will also be bringing my Project car.

Its at the exhaust shop now.

 

I'm not sure if this car will have the Heidts IRS by Expo time, but it will have it eventually.

 

I think its safe to say. Its finally going to show up. Dyno is still questionable. I'm not sure if I'll be happy enough with its state of tune to put it on the dyno for a flogging. Its still rich down low and lean up top according to the long term fuel trims. Cash reserves are a little empty right now, and a Wideband still needs to be ordered. Trying to stay away from the credit card and do it all cash.

Today I visited the junk yard to get rid of that crappy POS Lokar dipstick for a real GM product. Stole it from a Buick Roadmaster.



Video's here:

 

getting closer at least the engine is now in it




hope to start it up and hear it run tonight!!!!!

 

You got two weeks!!! Can't wait to see it! Gonna put it on the dyno?

 

It'll show up cammin' but I don't think I'm going to dyno it.

I'm still under 100 miles on the setup and fixing things as they pop-up. I did however defeat the wiring issue that was preventing me from having a working factory oil pressure gauge finally. It FINALLY works. 15lbs @ 900rpm when warm.

I did however drive it to work today. Only 69 miles on the clock so far.

 

Coming from Akron Ohio, here's what I am bringing, 91 rs, boosted.

 

You know, I don't want to overpromise turnout or anything, but I'm getting the feeling from Expo's FB page, this forum and the calls I've been getting by people I know, that we are going to have a buttload of 3rd gens there Saturday.

Can't wait to see old friends, meet new ones and check out each other's cars!!!!!

 

I've been working on getting her cleaned up today.

 

I'll be bringing my 89 Formula. Have a buddy bringing his 89 RS with a sweet satin paint finish.

 

Pre-registrations have jumped this week too. I'm expecting a great turnout as well. I waxed the IROC last night. It's ready to roll!

 

I scrubbed bird crap off the 99 HE

 

Still needs some work done, but I'm bringing my 88 gta
