Hello folks,
Just wanted to let you know that I am new here and will be lurking frequently for the purpose of building a G92 IROC-Z for "track day" fun for around Austin, TX events. I am an Auto Tech for Chevrolet (and multi certified for other makes) but knowledge from there to here has minimal transfer compared to the experience that doing this brings. I have already read the write-up sticky which I found to be informative but I am strongly considering reading much more literature on the subject so I can get a better grasp of suspension dynamics. Current progress of the car is a rolling chassis with glass that I have completely disassembled from a complete car for a complete rebuild including chassis and paint. I have bought numerous parts for it but I am awaiting for my "appointment" to have subframes welded in (TDS/Alstons) so I can begin the suspension portion of the build. I did have the pleasure of meeting one of your veterans in person one afternoon while buying a rear end. I was very impressed by the car and wish I could have talked further but I was in a hurry to get back on the road. IIRC, he really preferred the Global West Suspension products on his car and had many season wins. Anyway, I don't plan on muddying up the water with "build my car for me" questions but I will probably need some pointers here and there to make sure I am not wasting money. lol! I know this will be a long process and I am just going to strap in and enjoy the ride. Thanks. |

We can set up 3rd gens around here. Several guys are racing them and my last project car was a 1992 Z28 (it was super stable to drive and very responsive).
Welcome aboard! |

Do you RR or AutoX? I am also having issues uploading an avatar. I tried going to the "my controls" > "avatar settings" but there doesn't seem to be an upload link?? |

I built an RR car and mostly autocrossed it. It went to Nashville Superspeedway. It worked great for both. Avatars can't be uploaded until you have more posts. We had issues with a hacker years ago and I changed it for security. |

Thanks for the warm welcome I hope I can do the board proud! |

Hi there! Welcome to the Best Forum on the internet.
I'm up in the Great White North but have 15 years experience in 3rd gen RR ('89 IROC 1LE and my current '82 TA) so shoot me a PM if you have questions; I may have suggestions. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |
