I live in pewaukee. I've been out of the state working for the past month n wont b back for another two weeks but ill be dieing to hop in my maro n go cruising when I get home (I left it at home ). We should try to arrange a cruise night to quaker steak or something we I get back.

 

Looking to get together with some people in the Lacrosse, Onalaska, Holmen area. Maybe setup a BBQ and cruise night. If you are interested PM me.

 

we should cruise hwy 100! its a ton of fun...or do something else..im up for almost anything just so long as i dont burn too much gas

 

I did that once but it was on a thursday night so there weren't a whole lot of cars out. We'll figure something out. Hopefully there'll be more tgo guys that want to go.

 

i hope more of us tgo dudes can go! i normally go on friday or saturday between 9 and 12 pm and its full of ricers waiting to be burned! Yea, let me know what you can do or if any other dudes want to come with.

 

If anyones down for a saturday cruise sometime in September I'm game. Around the fox cities area. I know some good roads. I should have my junk back together by then.

 

I'm coming home wednesday. So if anyone wants to cruise hwy 100 this friday let me know.

 

ill cruise friday with ya.

 

Is there anyone else in the se wi area that wants to go cruising friday? The more people we have for a group the more fun it'll be.

 

My car seems to have fixed itself so I guess I'll try and be there. Where and when do you guys want to meet?

 

i normally go late (only time when people are out) like 9 to 12...we can meet at the colders at the start of "hwy" and then maybe park out by culvers after a few laps cuz my car sucks gas worse than a truck.

 

Oconomowoc and Pewaukee area here. 3rd gen Camaro owner living with the owner of a 3rd gen Firebird and next to a 4th gen WS6 Trans AM. Its the "best of the f body" driveway.

 

Anyone in the Lacrosse area going to Kornfest Days in Holmen?

"Kornfest 11 Car Show" 8-4pm. Reg. ends @ 11:30am.
Awards @ 3:30pm. Feature Car all 1961 model car & truck
$5 display only - $10 judged.
$100 Club Attendance Award.

Hit me up, look for the yellow drop top.

 

Here are some pics of the car. The first 2 are what I have been able to do to it thus far. The last pic is a pic of when I picked it up. Look at those rims. BLAH! Planning on dropping a 355 into it this winter. It will have vortec heads, 1.5 full roller rockers, Hot cam .492 .492, hooker headers, changing from TPI to carb, will also be supporting the underbody, and changing out the rear end. Hoping to get 380hp or so.

 

I still don't have working fans and got stuck on the highway on Friday so I'll be on one of my bikes the rest of the year. I've been looking into rebuilding my 350 and it seems like jvaughn and I are going to have a similar setup.

 

What are you looking at doing there racing geek?

 

man that sounds sick, you should get a pic up of that.


im going to look at a 91 rs tomrow. keeping my fingers crossed that its not just another rusted hulk.

 

just passing this along
looks like a Daytona.... only 2500 Daytona's made

Anyone on here from the Kenosha, WI area? Just picked up a 84 Z28 and wouldn't mind meeting some third gen nuts from this area.

 

I'm in Kenosha. You may (or may not) have seen my car around. '83 Z28 -See my vBGarage page. I'm usually at a few of the local yolkle car shows, like the one at Georgie Porgies (new one) at HWY11 and 31 in Racine on friday nights...if you ever go to those. Actually, I'll be there tonight with my Challenger.

Be warned...I'm an old fart compared to most on here. But it's always nice to talk to someone with like interests. Feel free to PM me anytime.

 

pembine, wi 83 trans am lets get together, Boy sure would be nice to get a bunch of 3rd gens together

 

Making it a 355, ported vortech heads, lift in the .5 range, SLP shorty headers, and a carb intake. My brakes (C5), suspension (koni and more), and chassis (lots bracing) can't get much better without completely redesigning it.

 

not from wisc but from Round lake il about 40 min south of kenosha always looking to cruise

 

Looks nice until you see the PS Quarter panel....what the heck is that?!?
Might be a can of worms...

 

Just saw this post. From Fond du Lac, WI... I would be interested in meeting up or cruising anytime if it works with schedule. Anyone else from around the FDL area?

 

Yeah that car is a rip off at that price. Hell I got my IROC (stock then) for less then that a few years ago. Did these cars really get that expensive that fast? I may have to seriously consider selling mine then.

 

Watertown WI here, anyone wanna do a resto with me? lmao I havnt a lot of time or money. Some cheap work would be nice if anyone is interested

 

If I wasn't putting my money into my maro I would. Lol. I think a 84 trans am with areo package or a 2nd gen maro would be awesome one day.

 

Well, the cold weather is around the corner...I'm thinkin about puttin her up in the garage till next spring. I got the Challenger to cruise around and visit the few shows left for the year or until the snow flies -whichever comes first! lol

Besides, I have quite a few things to do to the Z28 between now and then. LCARBS, Dyno Don headers, new 800 cfm carb, MSD boost retard, gages, new torque arm/trans mount and "maybe" lowering springs. Has anyone else packed thiers away?

 

I got one more show this month, then in the garage she goes. Putting in the new 355, and upgrading the suspension over the winter. Looking forward to spring so I can !

 

rust work over winter!

 

Just a reminder Fall Jefferson Car Show and Swap This weekend.
http://www.madisonclassics.com/car-s...-jefferson.php

 

i forgot about that. i wanta try to make it out there.

 

I'll be out at Jefferson selling stuff with a bunch of my friends. Were up against the back fence in the green field. Were the guys with all the big tires.

I'll have a 3rd gen cat back dual exhaust there if anyone is interested.

 

ill be going there too...THERE IS A JEFFERSON AUTO SWAP MEET group on Facebook for anyone that has one and wants to go rsvp.

 

I wont be able to make it till sunday if I do go. All the good stff will be gone by then

 

Yeah but Sunday is when you get stuff really cheap. People are willing to go way down in price just so they don't have to haul stuff back home.

 

should be out there early on sat, mite have my fiero in the car show; red 86 notchback.

 

ill be out early on sat too, 92 teal firebird

 

were you parked 2 over from me were the red firebird is in this pic? there was a teal one there wen i went back to get my jacket earlyer, but i didnt see anyone around it

 

I'm thinking about selling my '87 IROC-Z in the Spring. Do you guys think I could get more if I sell it as it sits or if I put it back to stock and sell the aftermarket stuff seperatly? What do you think I could get for it? I figured I could easily get 5 for it as it sits now. Reason I want to get rid of it is because I'm getting more involved in motorcycles, I'm tired of dealing with winter storage, and I'm simply bored with the car. If someone is looking for a car to buy I'll tell you right now this should be treated more as a weekend car then a commuter. The alignment is meant for aggressive driving, the heim joints aren't very forgiving, and the wheels/tires currently on it transform the car into a pontoon boat in heavy rain. With that said, it's a blast to drive when it's dry. It hooks well (1.6 60' on the old setup), it stops on a dime and gives change back, and it will easily put you into the door or passenger seat without a good seat and seat belt.

I'm the third owner. It was always parked for winters and any rust that has shown up was recently taken care of by me last winter. The previous owner supposedly did a lot of highway driving due to a long drive to work. I bought the car in '07 (I'd have to check to be sure). Left it stock the first year and a half then started adding parts. All the aftermarket parts you see listed below have a max of ~7k miles but a lot of it only has ~1k miles.

I've also got a ton of stock and aftermarket parts to get rid of once the car is gone.

 

I kinda seen this coming...but if you're gonna sell stuff, I'm interested in a few parts, and I live just south of you so no hassle boxing things up.

I'd be interested in the strut mounts, maybe the Koni's, and the Eibach pro kit. And if you're in no hurry, I'd give you my stock parts to replace them with, assuming we could agree on price. PM me if you're interested.

 

The car is running and driving now. It isn't still in the air like it was last time you saw it. If I do decide to make the car stock again I would definitly need stock parts to put back on since I threw out or gave away pretty much everything I took off.

There was a family event today and all my uncles were trying to talk me into keeping it and following through with the 350 or 383 build I had originally planned for. I'm just not sure if a new engine will be enough for me to want to keep the car and if I do put a 350 in it will I really be able to get that money out of the car then? Was your 408 or supercharger addition enough to revitalize lost interest in the car or did you never lose interest?

 

I never lost interest really. I had to stay patient until I finally molded the car into something I wanted. I can tell you even though it has the blower, 408,Moser rear etc. - I doubt the car will ever be "done".

I've had a couple of cars in the past that I regretted getting rid of, like a '72 Dodge Charger I had. I owned the car back when I was active duty, and never had the funds back then for a nice 440 Magnum, a custom paint job etc..

But I did manage to do A LOT of upgrades using parts from junked Chargers I found in the boneyard such as high back leather bucket seats, I added a slap-stick auto console and steering wheel, hidden headlights, a 500 rear tail light section....I even got ahold of a 360 engine out of a '77 Cordoba, rebuilt it in what was basically a small shed in the backyard - and dropped that in. I got a lot of compliments on the car since there were few around, even back then.

Anyways, after 12 years of ownership I ended up almost giving the car away for 800 bucks to a guy I knew back then. He was thanking me for selling him the car pretty much weekly for the first two months after I sold it to him...I realized then how much I screwed up. I had a lot of blood, sweat and tears in that car. It wasn't a "show car" by any means, but I still think about what it could've been by now 20 years later.....but back then, I couldn't afford to keep a car around that wasn't a daily driver. Wished I'd stored it in my folks garage instead of selling it though.

Sorry for the long post...just trying to explain where I'm coming from. I just traded my '09 R/T Challenger in for a '11 SRT8 Challenger. The SRT even N/A (470HP) would probably give the '83 a run for it's money at the track...and I get a lot of compliments on both cars. But the compliments I get on the Challenger just aren't the same as the ones I get on the Camaro....after all, anyone can buy a Challenger. You have some work put into your car...make sure you REALLY want to get rid of it, you might regret it later...

 

If anyone is interested there is an 86' Z/28 at a salvage yard in Franklin (Al's) that is pretty fresh with factory A/C delete...I'd imagine someone out there might want that setup. It's an LG4/Auto, many other 3rd gen f-bodies there too if you aren't already familiar with the place. Just posting as a heads up, I won't be pulling the setup myself .

 

I want it! Too bad it's too far away from me.

 

I live in Janesville WI i down for whatever... love those 3rd gens!

 

Id go but I wouldn't have my third gen. Its missing a quarter panel right now.

 

I know what you mean. My uncle had a 72 Dart and my dad had a 66 GTO and a 69 SS Camaro. They both regret selling those cars and since I've been talking about selling the Camaro all they ever do is talk about those cars.
Sounds like if I do follow through with selling it a family friend will take the built up 383 from the Nova he is trying to sell and put it in my Camaro since all it really needs is more power and some body/paint work. Since riding the bike is so much cheaper and more fun I have only driven the Camaro three times in the last 3 months.

The bike I've been riding...


The bike I'm currently building...

 

Nice yellow bike racing geek!! You picked a nice spot to take the pic too I see. I've never been into the crotch rockets, but I know most are insane fast!

Hope you're doing a lot of defensive riding though...hate to see anyone get hurt, or worse killed on a bike. Lots of idiot drivers around these parts (as I'm sure you know).

-Good luck with whatever decision you make!
