[DontPassTheFence]

[BlackJack]

I think that's a ways from Sierra Vista. I'll be at Fort Huachuca

[DontPassTheFence]

Fort Huachuca? where in the hell is that...?

[BlackJack]

Sierra Vista, it's on the border of Mexico about the bottom center of the state.

[MysteriousGT1]

[BlackJack]

nice to meet you both. Looking forward to some car shows, and drag races once I get settled, either of you two like attending events like that?

I know where to find alot of nice cars and car shows every weekend around here!

I ran into a First Gen GA last night with a custom bodykit on it...I told him about the site as well, he should be checking it out soon!

[DontPassTheFence]

I usually go down to Firebird raceway, and thats about it. The Pavillions at Scottsdale usually have some nice shows, as well

[BlackJack]

right on.....what town is Firebird Raceway located in?

[DontPassTheFence]

firebird is technically in chandler, I believe. its right off the 202 past the 101 south.

i thought firebird raceway was on I-10 past the 60


has the 101 opened up over there now?

[cradled]

I'm in Tucson, so probably the closest to you. But, I'm selling the car for a bike.

Firebird raceway = http://www.firebirdraceway.com/5.5web/5.5_directions.htm

[DontPassTheFence]

yea, i knew the 101 went there. they finished that a month or so ago, methinks

[BlackJack]

hot, thanks guys.

btw, for those of you that have lived in AZ for a bit, the burning question for me and the wife seems to be:

$$$ or comfort, translated A/C or swamp cooler?

[loud2kse]

I'm in AZ. north phoenix. Starting a new job doing bodywork/paint, so if anyone needs some work done, give me a shout.

[BlackJack]

awesome, funny I'm in the market for getting my Alero repainted, factory basecoat/clearcoat, 2003 GM Galaxy Silver. May be a long time before I get all the $ together. Getting a turbo setup first though.

[loud2kse]

When you're ready, head up to phoenix. I'll hook you up.


mmm turbo alero and s/c ga........ I think we'll get along nicely.

[BlackJack]

heh, yeah.....I'm working on a little suprise project. Should be interesting to say the least. Look forward to meeting you. As you know though, I'm way down at the border at Sierra Vista.

[DontPassTheFence]

Also, http;//www.azjbo.org is a forum that a bunch of guys with jbodies run here in the phx metro area, they always go to firebird and the pavs. they know a bunch about the 2.2 eco engines, and the 2.4L twin cam engines

[TEAM_AED]

Damn, i havnt been on here for awhile.... No ga anymore unfortunetly. I get to roll in my 00 Durango R/T though. Cant really complain....

[DontPassTheFence]

so since you dont have a ga anymore, does that mean I get to carry the title of 'baddest GA in AZ?' :lol:

i don't think anyone from the old AZ meets have their GA's anymore...except Mike...But i am not sure with his either!

[TEAM_AED]

Mike still has his. And I have to say that 00redse in scottsdale probably has the baddest. Full AED kit, hood, and blown..... Gotta give him the nod

[loud2kse]

Thanks Chris! Means a lot coming from you. Your car always impressed me back in the day. I though you'd be my only competition once I started doin my car up, but then you got rid of it. Definitely inspired me though.

My SN is different over here though. I've actually been registered here longer than AED. Prolly cuz back then you had to own AED stuff to post.

Oh, and I don't live in snobsdale, I'm in NE phoenix, right near the square. Just don't want folks to think I get handed all my stuff. I work for it. And raise 2 kids with my girl at the same time.

And what's up with that guy down here that has/had the yellow 99+ w/ accord headlights, and AED all cut up w/ the widebody? always thought that car was pretty slick too.

[TEAM_AED]

yeah thats the OTHER mike. LOL He is still working on it I guess. Been like a 6 year project. he is doin some crazy stuff to it. But well see when it gets all done....

Oh I though you were in scottsdale. And trust me, I know not everyone in scottsdale are snobs, I know some BROKE mofo's that live there. LOL Im all the way out in Litchfield... Other side of the world.. LOL

[loud2kse]

I know not everyone in scottsdale are snobs, so no offense to Scottsdale folks, I just didn't want people to think I get all my stuff handed to me.

but again thanks for the nod TEAM. More mods are on the way. Headlights, header back exhaust, then up the boost, and add alcohol injection and TB/intake mani. Shuold be close to 300 at the wheels by next summer. So long as I quit having to replace tires every other week.

[DontPassTheFence]

bump :bump:

[BlackJack]

Ok, landed here in Sierra Vista, and there doesn't appear to be a large quantity of N-bodies here. Big change from back in Texas where you could pass one every 3 minutes. That's ok, still gonna make the ricers cry :) (If you're a ricer, please dont be offended, just get a better car)
Did manage to befriend a local GM technician at the dealership that is sporting a nice Malibu. Between the two of us, it should make an impression in the area and make people think about trading in their Civics.

[loud2kse]

Welcome! And if anyone needs minor paint/body repair let me know.

[hotgrandam99]

Gilbert here! Just got my GAGT a few days ago.

BTW, Scottsdale Pavillions kicks ass, I love that place plus the mongolian bbq place right there.

[TEAM_AED]

congrats on the new GA.... I do know my old one is for sale here in AZ somewhere. LOL

[MysteriousGT1]

Chris...do you know anyone that makes Billet grills?...they do not make one for my car and was wondering?

[TEAM_AED]

no.. Unfortunetly I dont have any hook ups anymore. I know some places that carry them, but dont know anyone who makes em.....

[Jaimerz]

Sooooooooo I thought I'd pop in here and see who all was in AZ... might be moving down there in the late spring or so after our lease is up here... (Seattle - I'm sick of the rain! 38 days...) Thinking of moving to the Phoenix area... the boyfriend more specifically wants to find a place in Scottsdale... anyways I hope we come down to join everyone :)

[loud2kse]

I moved here from port angeles washington about 6 years ago. It's nice, but if you go to south phoenix, you'll think you are in mexico. lol

Can't you also almost say that about eastern washington too? jk... My boyfriend really is against Tuscon... but I've never been to Phoneix, just Tuscon, so I don't know the difference heh

[loud2kse]

well, at least in SpoKompton, they mostly speak english... lol

[Jaimerz]

yeah, true. I'm so glad I've never lived east of the mountains...

I like the term Spokanistan more though :)

But yeah, i'm getting pretty excited about moving down :D everything seems right so far

[loud2kse]

Spokanistan lol

[TEAM_AED]

scottsdale sucks... Overpriced place to live... I say go with Avondale.... Gonna have all the nice stuff that scottsdale has in the next 5 years... Cheaper homes too. Not much though. Shits getting crazy here with house prices.

[loud2kse]

tell me about it. I'm looking for a house near where I live.

[BlackJack]

Mike, I probably am not going to be ready for a month or two, cuz I'm still dropping money into this turbo, but if you would, please PM me on what you'd want to smooth (not mold), primer and shoot a 4-piece body kit? Shouldn't take much work but minor surface filler for a few pores and light sanding. (oh yeah, be helpful to know it's going to be factory 2003 GM Galaxy Silver, basecoat/clearcoat)

[loud2kse]

I'm not doing any bodywork/paint anymore. Too damn hot to work outside in the summer down here, and I just wasn't making anough money for the time I put into it. That and I had to drive too much nd spend a LOT on gas (it was a mobile company) I've got a few hookups in the valley though, so whenever you're ready, I can get you their number.

[BlackJack]

thanks man :)

[goredsox]

ive been on the site for a year and a half and i never been to this page??? I live in Casa Grande, it's pretty good down here rural living compared to Phoenix. A few pennies cheaper on gas, and no emissions here in Casa Grande.

I love firebird i'm only about 25 miles away and goin 80-85 on the 10 i can get there in no time!!!

[Lgkaos]

Hello all:
I'm from PHX and currently stationed at Luke AFB. I'd love to go a local GA meet (if there's any). On quick note:

I'm getting rid of my AED body kit...selling for somewhat cheaper than brand new.
-Willing to lower the price if someone's willing to trade with red-GT body panels (front, sides, rear).
-Also selling my RKSport clear tail lights

PM me for more info. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section but I'd like to make this a local deal.

[loud2kse]

good timing. Let's see if we can work something out. My car's in the body shop right now.

[Lgkaos]

99+. I'm also considering getting rid of the AED fenders as well.

There's nothing wrong with the parts, I've been road-course racing my Evo IX recently and I wanna start working on the engine more...so I'm gonna need the GA as my daily driver instead of show car.

The parts are already painted factory red.

Just thought I'd jump in, I haven't been on the forums for a while. I moved from SC to Phoenix a year ago.

[loud2kse]

[BlackJack]

yeah, still here.....once in a while

[rys99grandam]

Im down here in the Tempe, Near the 60 and 10 where the meet.

[Lgkaos]

[BlackJack]

I think a couple of the Alero guys are going to Firebird on December 15th. More details on Aleromod.com.
