Looks like by Sunday the weather should be somewhat cooler. That will be good for the non A/C guys.

 

I just finish checking out my camaro and everything looks well

I was gonna go an oil change but i did one 700 miles ago full sythetic (thanks to my dad ) so i am good there
I am gonna change out the coolant and replace it with new one since it has been a while
Also i guess i am not going alone to the meeting other then my camaro i am having my friend come along with me..

Damn man sounds like its going to be bad ***. I wish i can go by my car is down, need to fix my over heating issues and my car club meeting is Sunday damn.

 

Roscoe has construction the road kinda sucks as of about a month ago you may want to get off at Sherman Way East turn left at Van Nuys Blvd after you go under the railroad tracks it is on the right.
plus there are more gas stations on Sherman Way.

 

ahh man that sucks ill guess ill see you uuhhhh next meet? I just like to see the locals faces when they see all the third gens "back home"

 

I can't wait for Sunday. I live like less then 5 min. from there lol. Me and some friends r gonna be there early so we can see everyone roll in . SO EXCITED

 

**** my car started acting up today. so i hope i can fix it today and take it out on sunday. if i cant make it il try taking up my tuck up there but **** it only get 10miles a gal. il see whats up. so if i can make it in my camaro il be up there at bobs big boys in long beach around 630am.

 

same here.. my camaro ran out of gass!! tahts a big problem ):

 

I am so there this is my first cruise/carshow since my car has been down for sooo long i have a crap load of work to do today!

 

I had some problem also with my camaro, the electric fan just gave up and i didnt notice until i started seeing the temp gauge go all the up to 260 degrees.. when i looked under my hood my fan was not working...
so i had to bypass the relay and the fan worked again....
Now i have to rewire the relay with the fan to make it work for when i turn on the car if not then i will have to turn on the fan by connecting it with the battery directly
see everyone tomorrow i will be at the starbucks around 6:20~6:30am

Valentin

 

i need to solve my gas issue -__-

 

try using plastic.. i always do and get approval fills my tanks up all the ways lol

 

hahaha can i use ur plastic :P it only takes me 35 bucks to get a full tank...

 

I would but I have nothing left in the bank.... I took out my cash yesterday for tomorrow... I should have enough to fill the tank going and coming back and enough to eat and alittle extra for me hahaha

Alex are u gonna get some snacks for on ur trip cuz I know I am mostly water

 

yezzir. ima bring sour patches to keep me awake during the drive... and a case of water. i only have enough for gas but yeah i dont plan on eating there.

 

WOW! What a pain in the keister to change spark plugs in my 305 TBI. The O2 sensor was no breeze either and neither was the idler arm! Oh well, I got it all done and it only took me 5 hours and some beer lol. It was dark when I finished washing my car lol. It runs like a champ now though.

We'll see how these Accel U-Groove spark plugs work out. I just want a little better fuel millage. I still need to seefoam it, but I havnt cuz I didn't want to be blowing white smoke out my tail pipe on the way to the meet. SEE YOU ALL TOMORROWZ!

 

Ground the green wire to the relay and the fan should turn on with the key, as long as the relay is good.

 

Thanks for the heads up... got the fan working again as soon as my car turns on...
See everyone tomorrow

Valentin.

 

I'm Out!

I had been scratching items off my list to be ready to roll. However....

I've replaced 2 Tranny mounts and I still have play under the car. The tranny clunks an hits when the rear wheels go over speed bumps or dips. So there's something else going on..... Frustrating

And I need to get my cooling situation stabilized...

Everyone have a blast!

Adrian

 

Damn I just got finished replacing two window motors with brand new ones and converted my ac to r134 today first time in three years having a working ac damn if feels goooood... I was going to do the coolant but ran outta time. I had the same issues with my fans I grounded the green/white wire as well due to them not turning on then detailed the maro all in one day I feel pretty accomplished lol

It was a lot offwith a lil

 

Had a blast At the van nuys meet. Wish i didnt live in san digo so i would of made the cruise.

 

it was awesome! It was nice meeting all the fellow third gen owners and sharing our knowledge I cannot waiiiiiittt for the next time!

 

Damn good turnout! Wish I could have made the cruise, but I had to get started on some gears in a, dare I say it, Mustang. I will have pics of the The Plant meet up soon, guys. Nice meeting some new faces. Def gotta get something going again soon.

 

Great meet. Meet new friends and some old ones.
The weather was hot - but remember "it's a dry heat"
Good breakfast for $5 + $1.5 for drinks.
40 + cars at the show.
20 on the cruise.
Only 3 breakdowns and all those were fixable.
Some of us missed a left turn - need a bigger sign I guess. Signs can be missed at x0mph.

I hope everyone enjoyed it - I did.

Next time lets do it between Nov and Feb

 

yea had fun at the meet. the drive was cool 6 of us from long beach when down there. next time im going to try and make it to the cruise also.

 

The cruise today was so fun. Came out very good can't wait for the next one . Very nice 3rd gens came through.

 

Yeah I have to admit I had fun also I met some familiar faces and was nice to see them again...
We had some joke that for some of us we won't forget including what happened inside Home Town Buffet.. I can't wait for the next meeting..
Also to bad I couldn't get some video of us in the cruise coming from LB heading to the Van Nuys meeting there where to many CHP and didn't wanted to get in trouble recording a video while driving... it was nice to see people looking at us as we were cruising to the meeting.. there were some people that couldn't keep their eyes out of our cars which was pretty nice to see

Yeah next time I am gonna try to make it for the super cruise hopefully it will be cooler next time...
I am gonna upload a video my friend recorded on youtube tomorrow, so hopefully by mid day tomorrow it should be fully uploaded... and get some pic uploaded also


Valentin.

 

ok mt big springs loool

 

Hahaha my favorite quotes that some of us won't forget
"Wow its an E Rod"
"Is that a Big Block or did u put longer springs"

 

BTW forgot to mention the deer crossing the road during our u-turn trek.

 

Next time we need to add my short cut, just 32 miles longer.

Jerry

 

Another huge success! The event went off without a hitch thankfully. Final count 43 3rd gens on deck at the Plant and 20 cars for the Super Cruise.

Special thanks to Jerry (JERRYWHO) for making and donating over a 100 “SC3G.org Van Nuys 2010” commemorative decals and special thanks to Rod (Trucker) for suggesting the Plant as a show venue, setting up at several points along the cruise route to take pictures & video, and securing the perfect restaurant as a final destination. Again, I can’t thank you guys enough for your contributions to the club/event.

As for everyone else that took the time to come out and join us, I hope everyone had a great time. I know there were a couple of gentlemen that traveled great distances to be with us yesterday (Santa Cruz & Temecula) I hope the event proved to be well worth the drive

I did my best to get around and talk to everyone but with the amount of people that were present it was extremely difficult. However based on the feedback I received from the people I had an opportunity to speak with, there is overwhelming interest in doing this cruise again when it’s a little cooler. So keep your eyes open for our fall cruise possibly in September or November.

As a result of the event SC3G had 5 new member signups on the website immediately after the show and 3 more this morning. Again, this is exactly why we do events like this…

Thanks again guys, it was a blast!

 

Here's a few pics...

Hey Micky in pic #5 is that George Lara?

 

Yes sir! Georgie and I have kept in contact over the years and try to get together at least a couple of times a year. He is an engineer over at Vortech and that little clone of him is his son Riley

 

How hot was it?

If I drove too close to someone else, or especially behind Vincent in his SUV, it would disturb the airflow under my car, the temp gauge would creep up, and the infamous "maybe Multec" injectors would lock open and flood my engine. That will teach me to tailgate people! It ran flawlessly all the way there and all the way home to the South Bay.

It was great meeting and talking to everyone, and I thank Lon and Tom who baby-sat me while I waited for the injectors to cool off, and the rest of the troops who avoided 'giving me a unintended push" when it would just die.

TA

 

Couple pics. I'll put up some more later, and some video after I do some editing and whatnot.

 

Thanks Mike for a great event and Trucker and his paparazzi assistant for some great pictures i had a great time locking forward to next year hopefully its a little cooler weather

 

Wish I couldve made it... couldn't get my tires mounted in time.

 

OK so how many of you were running HOT!! i was @ 210 cruising maybe 200 then on the up hills i was about 225-230 at times just wondering what you guys were @?

 

Do all the f bodies with v8 engines run hot?
my v6 never runs hot in my firebird or blinding yellow frontier.
