Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Thanks 572_rat, I will check out the parts section. I am looking for local parts because shipping and duty are sometimes more then the parts themselves. 
I just got this Camaro about 2 weeks ago and really want to get started on my project. I guess if I cant find them here I wont have a choice. 
Thanx

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
I second that ^^^
Love Mike's Parcel Pick-up!!!
There was a guy in West St.Paul named Chuck who would buy up all the 3rd Gen stuff that went through the MPI Auctions... He would always advertise in the Auto Trader Classifieds section...
You could start there...
I was gonna try to look him up for a 2nd 9 Bolt rear end... I gotta have his # around here somewhere...

yea chuck has alot of parts, keeps a pretty good stock but he is expensive, he'll probably have whatever your looking for but expect to pay. he will not separate things like if you just want a motor - wiring and ecm all goes together. ground fx he has them usually but again your going to pay. his number is 334-8499

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Reviving this thread.
Anyone working on their cars over the winter?
I am putting in a new converter. new SFC and a new intake tube. Hoping to run 11.50's this year at Interlake Dragways.
Should be cool as they are having a Heads up racing class this year.

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Building a 11:1 Forged 383 as we speak...
It will have my AFR 180's and HSR on top with a XFI 268 cam.
I'm a Torque lover
If I have a problem with detonation I'll end up going with a larger cam...
We'll see...
Besides that I have a rear end that's all worn out so I gotta do something about that too!
I've never heard Gimli called Interlake Dragway...
What's this heads up thing about?
Fastest guy wins?

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Gimli drag way has new track managers.
http://forum.interlakedragway.com/mo...ch_id=newposts
Should be better than the previous track manager. The people that are running it are more into heads up racing than bracket racing.
As for the heads up classes, there are 3 classes.
Big Tire Class
Any tire is allowed,any motor combination,any chassis as long as its a door car with working doors
Small Tire Class
Tire size is limited to a 295 drag radial,12.50x30 et street,or a 9x29.5 slick,any motor combination is allowed,any chassis is allowed .
11.50 ET class
Open to all cars just can't go faster then 11.50 et
This will be a 3 race dates for this series. June 24th August 26th September 16th
So yah, run off the tree, run what you brung! I'm not a fan of bracket racing, I'm more of a streetcar kinda guy, stock suspension and true street driven!

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
I was surprised to see Manitoba represented. Just saying hello, I recently purchased a 1983 Z28 5 speed. I bought the car in Winnipeg, but now the car lives in Austin MB. It's needed quite a lot of work, but I am nearing the point to try the safety inspection. It's white with no stripes or badges, with black Firebird rims.

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Seen the Manitoba roll call so I'd thought I'd step in and say hello. 
Just finished my '83 Firebird last month just in time for my Grade 12 Grad.
I'm also tearing up the streets as well with my '85 Firebird with the 305 ci under the hood. Love them both to death. :P

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Just doing a shout out, is anyone planning on attended Cruising the Dub in Brandon in September?
Went there last week but was one of two third gens there. :/
I think it'd be awesome to see a fair amount of us there.

There went 2012
How was 2012 Manitoba? I fixed my project '83 Z28 to street legal status and have enjoyed driving it, and upgrading it. This website is awesome, so much info available.
Are there any 3rd gen events in Manitoba? Pony Coral, St.Andrews Autocross, Gimli drags or circuit, Neepawa drags? Have any of you raced on the circuit at Gimli? How is it? On youtube the track looks narrow and rough.
Hey Eric, I think I was at the same August Cruisin the Dub in Brandon, I brought the (B/Gas) primer grey '51 Chevy (has a carbon front skin). I think I remember your car, and was there also a gold/burnt orange Firebird?
Anybody interested in spare 26 spline Camaro axle, or a stock open 3 series carrier with 26 spline side gears? Any creative uses for a bent axle?Pry bar...
Have a good winter.

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
I think there was a f-body club in Wpg. But I dont remember any meets this summer.
As for Gimli race track. I'm sure you have heard that it has changed names to Interlake Drag Way. The traction there was unbelievable! I got a personal best 60ft there! Down to a 1.46!
Also, they have heads up classes there now too.
I will be running in the 11.50 class this year again, and with my exhaust issues being sorted out, I will be running 11.50's through the mufflers.
See you there!

I want to say I remember seeing your Chev there but I am not 100% sure. But yes, my baby was there and I remember that orange Bird very well, with the handbrush painted white rims and center caps...

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Chances are I will not be able to unfortunately. I would love to make it out but my shed collapsed onto my baby and she needs the front and driver side redone. Hopefully I can make it out in June however!

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Is anyone looking for a NWC T-5 transmission from a v8 '83 Camaro? Works for easy driving, or parts. I'm working on a TKO swap, should be the last upgrade.

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Finished my house Reno (well most of it...) so I hope to finally drop the 383 into the car.
After that it'll be a new rear end... I'm one legging my 9 bolt... Grrr
But we'll see how stage one works out first.
Poor car hasn't been out in a few years...
Glad to hear ya plan on getting faster!!!

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
It's been along time since I looked over the Manitoba section. We used to have a Fbody club back in the glory days in Winnipeg in '03-'04 called Fbody Generations. A few of us 3rd genners in there. Kinda disbanded now. Although I remain friends with many. It would be nice to meet a few fellow third genners in Winnipeg sometime. Tim Hortons's are on every street corner. Lol

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
I haven't insured mine since they mandated I put an immobilizer in it!!!
Bastards...
It's 25 years old this year... Maybe I can avoid it now?
I was gonna use the "freedom of information act" to get MPI to tell me how many 1989 GTA's have been stolen (with VATS) got too busy and didn't...

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Don't have to wait til cars are done or out for a meet and greet. I'm starting to debate if we'll even see summer this year. Do any of you drive down Ness in Winnipeg. I can't even imagine driving my poor GTA through those potholes.

You should try to the right lane going north on St. James, our streets really suck

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
Hello everyone! My name is Russ, from Stonewall. I have an 88 IROC 5.7 I bought before winter. Still trying to find a few parts before she can go back on the road. Any of you kind folks have or know of where I can find some AC parts, vacuum lines for TPI, and other small odds and ends? I will be out this summer (if we have one), would definitely like to meet some other Camaro's and their owners. Is there a regular meet in Winnipeg or something?

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
I just gave all my air conditioning parts away, just a few weeks ago, I have a drive shaft if anyone wants it, otherwise I am going to throw it out.
Just licensed the car, if it is nice next week, I am taking it out for it's first drive

Re: Roll Call: Manitoba Members Step Inside!
I thought I would ask here. I am looking for a TTOP center bar in good condition. I am in Brandon and cannot find one here. If anyone has one or knows of someone who does, let me know. Thanks.
