Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Near Springfield MA here...
Yep, daily driver for 22 winters. Put four studded snow tires on it, and weights in the rear trunk well, and it actually will get good traction. I passed some front wheel drive cars that were stuck last winter. Yeah!
The 4 studded tires are the key. Without them, forget it. No chance.

what tires and rims do you recomend? do you have any photos of your KARR in the snow? links would be awesome as well

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Everett here, but I no longer own a third gen, haven't for about 4 years I have a Caddy now.
A friend from work just bought an 89 TA that looks like something Doc Brown built
we've been trying to put it back right a little at a time.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
The 89, the body had deterioted so badly that I could no longer get a sticker on it, and estimates for repairs were more money than the car was worth, I sold it to a member here for parts.
The 86 needed a transmission, but at the time I didn't have enough money to fix it. Sold that to a member here as well.
I could do Kellys, if you guys don't mind looking at my Caddy, that is.

the crossfire injection is running great. he is getting a wash and a wax soon. my heater warms up the car better then many new cars. plus I have a rear defroster that works like brand new.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
We should plan a meet at the "new" sonic on route 1 in Peabody/Saugus whatever it is. I know it's cold now but when it gets warmer I say let's do it, easy location to get to and decent food. What do you guys say

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Crossfire? Nope, they were dead in '84, all 1984 Recaros came with the L69. Things are going well. Car's just collecting dust right now while I work on the house.

Been living in Chicopee for 2 years now, and pretty much lurking. My cars are in my sig. Not show quality yet, but do enjoy the 'ROC on sunny days.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
western mass. here in spfld.just picked up an 87 iroc-z28. 305 tpi 5 speed, convertible. will be getting plates monday. seeing as how chevy made no allowance for front plates on this ride, am looking for creative ideas as to how to attach front plate without detracting from cars elegance or value. am cringing at having to drill holes in the spoiler!!!
am also looking for factory fog lights that came with it as previous owner lost them. i do not think that will pose an inspection problem, but would like to see them on the car anyway. gotta say o luv the burgundy paint. car runs like a top shifts like a dream. cant wait to start driving it.
at least till the snow gets here. any ideas would be gratly appreciated.
am new to this website and not exactly sure how to navugate it yet, but i will learn.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Welcome aboard !!
They did make a front number plate bracket for camaros, they turn up on Ebay every now and then, I also bought one from the Chevy dealer when I had my '86, but that was 8 or 9 years ago, at the time it was $20.00.
