ohh yea i know chirs. i had a science calss with him last year. nice burnout for his project..

know anyone with a 350 or 383? im looking to move up from this little 305

hotrod16105

Nobody had cut an access panel into the floor on mine. I had to remove half of the rear suspension and the exhaust to drop the tank. I didn't have enough cash at the time for a bigger pump so I just put in the stock replacement. If I ever decide to add nitrous I'll have to upgrade.

soccer don't know of anyone but i'll have a look out for u...chris said hi....hotrod if i have to put in a fuel pump can i put a bigger one in my stock 350..also going to cut a door in to much of a hassle to drop tank..or was it easy

hotrod16105

There are several aftermarket pumps that are better than stock but will go in the stock location. You might want to replace the fuel pressure regulator with an aftermarket one as well. That way you can adjust the pressure if needed. The tank was somewhat easy for me but I did it at the bus garage I work at. I was able to get the back of the car very high and remove the tires, shocks, sway bar, panhard bar, and torque arm, and lower the rear axle as low as possible. After that is wasnt too bad. It would have been easier if I had someone to help. If you cut an opening, be careful of lines and make it big enought. You have to move the pump assembly around to clear the float to get it out.

lets get a meet in before winter hits. Quaker steak and lube is always a good place?

Thoughts and ideas?

hotrod16105

Sounds good to me. Just let me know when. I dont think we have too many warm days left. Plust the firebird will be getting parked and torn apart for paint at the end of the month.

89iroczanimal

yeah, you have to drop the rear and its easier to take it completely out to get the tank out...just did that all last weekend lol

been awhile since i been in here. how is everyone?

hotrod16105

Good and not so good. Winter is coming. Not looking forward to parking the car, but it will get painted this winter so thats good.

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

yeah winter isnt fun...i got till 1st of december to drive weather permiting... then its off to storage... oh well, i hope to do some serious mods this winter

Hey pittspeed.com is having a dyno day in Youngwood at hybrid dynamics. NOV 3rd. 50 bucks for 3 pulls with a/f monitoring

i may go if the car runs right

Soccerman133

I'd go if it was worth it. it would be interesting to see how little HP i have since i plan on modding the 305 (unless i find a 383 or something)

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

its nota bad price...50 for 3 pulls...atleast you'll have a baseline

i want ot go but now discovered i have 2 bad injectors

hotrod16105

You should go. Its good to now where you are starting from. I may try to go. Do you know how to get there?

Soccerman133

no idea.. you might as well join pittspeed now

hotrod16105

I probably will later tonight.

Orr89RocZ

Hey guys, this is going to sound a little silly but-
How long can you drive your cars in winter?
I'm moving to Pitts from Florida to work for Heinz.

What are the good forums/clubs?

Where would/ woudln't you recommend living in Pitts? Heinz is in Warrendale, I'd like somewhere around there.

Thanks for the help!

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

Go to Pittspeed.com....thats pretty much the only general car forum around the pittsburgh area. Ask them about living in the area. i dont have much experience with that

As far as winter driving, i store my car from december 1 to March 1, but sometimes its very nice during december... like sunny and 40-50 degrees!. even in january there has been nice days. its late january and february that kills! snow and very cold usually

Soccerman133

www.ricekiller.com too

can't help you about where to live..

but about the weather Orr89RocZ is correctomundo

hotrod16105

Welcome to the 'burgh. There are alot of good places to live in that area. It just depends on what you can afford.

Z2EIGHT

Hey guys, Yall wanna hangout at DINOS, though I don't really know any of you, and I don't remember how to get there, and any yall wanna do that pittspeed dyno thingy...sounds good for 50 bucks.

I don't know how to get anywhere so trailing you would be nice...

Soccerman133

i dont even know where DINOS is

hotrod16105

I don't know where dinos is either. As far as the dyno day, I plan on being there. I dont know exactly where it is but i have a general idea.

Soccerman133

cout me out for dyno day. i know i only have 200 something.. id rather save my $50 and put it towards more hp.

hotrod16105

You should come anyway, even if you dont run your car. It will probably be a good time. Youre welcome to ride with me. Kurt will probably ride along as well.

89iroczanimal

hotrod would u be interested in changing my fuel pump fuel filter and fuel reg. in my iroc z....i'll help u...what would it cost

Soccerman133

Friday night 11/16 at Quaker Steak and Lube at 8 a few car peoples will be there to chow down on some wings. Hotrod should be there. AS long as it doesnt snow like it could..

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

where u located? fuel pump isnt all that bad. some like to do the trap door trick but requires some cutting and then you have to seal it up good. fuel regulator sucks if its TPI i think you'll have to take plenum and runners off which means valve covers come off and if you still have emissions stuff/etc you have to move all that out the way. easy but a pain in the ***

i'm 16 too. Once i get my car up to the ability to pass PA inspection, i'm in.

Hey guys, just spent my first week here and DAMN, its COLD! I live near North Street (the good part, not that no-so-awesome area). I have an excellent view of the city and some HD channels and the sports package. Anytime any of you would like to drop by to watch the game and drink some beers, I'm good for it.

I also checked out Saddle Ridge last night, I really had a good time, even though I didn't know a soul. Do you guys ever meet up for anything other than repairs?

In other news, I still have the T/A out at the moment but I'm looking for a beater, I ran across a 2.8l but it didn't run quite as decently as I'd like it to.

Anyone have anything under a grand they want to sell me?

ruberbanman126

hey i live in pittsburgh, well actually bellevue, is there any thire gen car clubs or meets in pittsburgh? every car show i go to with mine, im always the only third gen there.

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

im also interested in this, becuase ive only seen like 3 different 3rd gens (2 camaros, 1 firebird) in my area. I have to go all the way out to the big cruises to see more than 2 in one spot. I know your all out there!

Soccerman133

lets set something up... but once again its winter..

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

Well. even if it wasnt winter, i couldnt make it for a few weeks i would think. I just finally got my baby running today! First time shes moved since somtime in 04! (04 tags)

But she runs and moves, so if anyone sets somthing up, Ill be there. If not in my baby, then ill just take out the fox-body.

deadman

no to change the subject but is anyone going to have a car at world of wheels?

Soccerman133

I plan on going but I dont know anyone who will have a car there.

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

I also plan on going, but my baby is in no condition to show

hotrod16105

Maybe some of us can meet up for dinner some time to discuss some sort of plan for a meet this summer. Just a thought.

LMSkyliner

iTrader: (1)

im in if i can get out of the house. im a bit young (16) but i love my thirdgens!


might not be a horrible idea to meet up at World of Wheels if we're going anyways too.

hotrod16105

That might be a good idea. I imagine I would probably go on Saturday but thats still over a month away so who knows.

ruberbanman126

my camaro is in show condition, i would enter it at world of wheels if it wasnt in storage for the winter, im still going to be there though, and by the way im not even 16 yet. i dont get my permit till the 26th of this month

ruberbanman126

so whos all going to be at world of wheels?

Soccerman133

probably not me...

Got a CB radio installed


Also i did this today...

I should be there, though definitly not with the camaro.

hotrod16105

I should be there. Nice burnout. Might have to take mine out tonight to do the same. I did the first donuts in my new truck last night. I like it.
