Welcome to the IHoP

[Acidburn 10]

I blame it on Florida.

After having spent a summer there, I know I never, ever want to live in the South.

Frightening place.

Um, uh, yeah. You live in the South.

I live in the south, not the South

the south is only geographic

the South is a whole culture

[///M5 2,833]

Midwest blah.

Time for you guys to come East

I will someday, but now my work focus will be West which won't help.

helps me

True, have to find hi-tech companies nearby and come hit them

there's a pretty decent tech industry here AFAIK

Honeywell, Intel, Rockford Fosgate, Mitek are a few that come to mind

Funny Honeywell Tempe is buying a system because of the work I did at the MN Honeywell.

actually..that reminds me, a guy on the fiero boards wanted to switch his 3800 n/a over to carbs, everyone tried to tell him forget it, too much of a PITA to bother with, especially since there is so much backing for the fuel injection setup.

he schooled everyone and let them know carbs were the chit, just so you know, the buick grand national's 3.8L, a motor that was quite great we all know, was awesome and had a carburetor and was turbocharged. Why not go with carbs on the 3800 if the 3.8L turbo had carbs????

durrrrr

why the hell do people always want to do stuff the hard way?

wait, he didn't realize GN's are injected?

and Buick 3.8's are totally different from Chevy 3.8's IIRC, 60* vs 90*

Do some more research. Not all the turbo Buick 3.8s were injected.

really? did the early ones use a computer controlled Q-jet or something?

interesting, never seen one without injection before

84 or 85 should have been the first year for injection. 82 was the first year for the GN, but the turbo regal first appeared in 79 I believe.

No turbo cars were made in 83 and the GN came back in 84. Surprisingly, I know a lot about the turbo Buicks and other G-bodies. I have owned several Regals and Cutlasses and have been searching for a nice turbo regal/Gn for some time. There's a nice big G-body forum with a ton of cool rides and knowledgeable members if you ever get interested in them.

Go to bed, or talk about cars.

I'd choose cars too.

Come to the Honeywell here.

And visit Bosch while you're at it.

Two companies who are helping to keep South Bend alive.

Would be cool to see your Jolly big ass again.

I am surprised that you are a G Body fan though.

Aight, I really need to go to bed now. DSL is too slow for DLing porn.

Good info.

I've always liked the G-bodies, and I definitely wouldn't mind owning one at some point (especially a GN).

My second car was an 85 Cutlass and that car taught me all about the small block Chevy.

the 3.8 took a shit, and the old man had a 350 for it, but needed a rebuild. He said the only way I was getting it was if I built it myself. And I did. Had to clean the plugs every week too. Didn't have enough money left to get the heads done and well, the valve seals were shot, so the plugs got fouled rather quickly. It was a fun ride though. I had the fastest car in school, and coincidentally the loudest.

At a Mexican restaurant for lunch. And surprise, where I choose they don't speak English. They are looking at me funny with my laptop and blackberry

During my exploring Saturday night, I found a little Mexican place that you'd probably like. Sketchy looking place but was packed at 11:30 at night.

It would be as long as the food was good.

I'll try it at some point. Didn't really want to park the Camaro there at that time of the night.

That is what the truck is for

Pontiac also had a GTA with the turbo 3.8 too. It was 87 I believe. IIRC they were Indy Pace cars. They were quicker and faster than the IROCs and a little heavier to boot.

Been a while since I have been in Indiana, but might be again a bit

I have the Central running pretty smooth and will need to focus on the West to fix it fast, but at some point I surely will.

not all of us have trucks

and I wouldn't want to park the Impala there at night either

it'll have to be a day trip

yeah, I've heard about the turbo TA's before

they used the Buick 3.8 though?

I just figured they slapped a turbo on the 305, or even the 4.3L Chevy
