I beleive on one of red horizontal cross bars of the social group site there is a 'join group' 'button'

you have to get the lsx logo tatooed on your ass before you can get in , after you get the tat a link should pop up to join lol

welcome, maybe spring time we can all meet up , if my car runs that is lol

I'm about 2hrs south of Columbus, I wouldn't mind making the trip up come spring time if you guys do get together.

Yea, I've heard lately that there is a lot of racing going on up there. I have yet to make my way up there bc I practically live at/on the railroad lol. I need to make my way to Waverly to watch sometime.

Lots of Horsepower in Cbus

I live just outside columbus.

Same here.

In the Westerville area. I the summer time, we have a Horse Power Happy Hour that is usually the second Thursday of every month at Tilted Kilt up in the Polaris area.

Waverly? 15 minutes away, my car is in Beaver. 3rd gen Ls1 swap, just got it going a month ago.

No kidding? We should get together sometime, I'm not far from you. I'm also in the process of doing an LSx swap into a 86.

Hah, small world I guess. I actually live in Colorado, but I'm back in southern Ohio about once a month...I work in the airline biz, so I bounce around quite a bit. Here's my build thread on TGO.

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/ltx-lsx/628475-gen-iii-3rd-gen.html

I probably won't have the car out again until the salt is gone, I'm lucky enough to have rust free car..I intend to keep it that way. Right now my 9" is apart for a rebuild, the center section was in need some some serious care.

Also, are you familiar with Bluecat (Phil Smith) tuning? I'm gonna need a tune sooner or later and I've heard nothing but good things about his shop near Ashland, KY.

Yea you're right it is a small world since i went to Minford, so i know exactly where Beaver is lol. Both of my cars are also up for winter, well the Iroc is apart for the build. I have a long way to go on it. I'm actually really familiar with Phil he's a really good guy, he tuned my 99 right after I picked it up. I think he has a page on Facebook and then he frequents on KYhorsepower.com if you want to join. Just a little advice, he's a hard guy to get ahold of so don't get discouraged, best form of contact is email. Last I heard there was like a month wait to be tuned, may be different come spring though. Btw I'd like to check out that car of yours and possibly have you shine some light on this swap.

When the weather breaks I'd be glad to show you my car. I'll probably even make a few passes at good ol' South Webster early this year too. Any questions you have, feel free to pm.

Btw, I didn't tie the engine wiring into the stock thirdgen harness, my uncle and I fabbed up our own fuse/relay panel for simplicity and ease of troublshooting should the need arise. Good luck with your swap, I know I am real happy and I'll never go Gen 1 sbc again.

Cleveland-racing vs columbus-racing this yr will be fun. Looking forward to it. And participating this time

Kind of off topic, but If anyone is more towards the Springfield, Dayton and Cincy area me and a buddy are getting a group gearing up for some meets, it'd be cool to meet up with you Ohio LSX guys and any other groups around a few times over the season..

Best reply I've seen in a while.

^ i should be able to make that one, honest i wish there were more people that were up by me

im up in youngstown ohio. maybe about 2hrs 30mins or with the radar on 1hr 45. ill def come down for another dyno day or any meet going on. Not much up in my area but the kids with the riced out 4 bangers

Both of you can piss off.

If you'd like to legally race your car at sanctioned track days, try www.columbusracing.com

If you'd like to risk the new Ohio laws on street racing, try CRC.

CR tried to help OhioLSX out when their section on here went down. Yeah, there's gratitude for ya.

It doesn't matter. The CRC group is nothing but CR members who started their own site to setup street racing since CR no longer allows it.

I don't spend enough time up there to really tangle with anything. If I am up there, i'm in the family truckster (minivan) so I rarely get a 2nd glance.

I'm from Wellston Ohio for those southern Ohio owners, may hit up south Webster or kanawa valley in WV when I get the tick taken care of.

I live near Dayton. Check out the TA nationals in late August.

been in columbus area past couple weekends havent seen much. (dublin, gallow, westerville) where is everyone at??

In the middle of July Dublin has an Arthritis Auto show that draws about 1500 cars between Friday and Saturday. Cars are parked by model and there is a good turnout of Camaros and Firebirds, with the Camaro having slightly more cars.

Columbusracing.com There's cars and coffee at Cup O' Joe every saturday morning (AMC 24 Lennox parking lot in grandview) and it usually gets a good group of cars.

Been to it a couple times since I've moved here, and it's gotta be my favorite show since theres literally an endless amount of cars. Will definitely be attending TA nationals this year tho, didn't have my car last year lol. When is it, early august?

Been wondering when a ta event would be held.where is it located? National trails?

The TA Nationals is the last weekend in August, I believe at the Marriot in Dayton.

i know its easter but im in westerville. went cruising last night around porlais mall and tuttle didnt see much but ricers. WHERE ARE THE F BODIES..hopefully i can find some and get at least one race in before i leave tonight!!!

Good call.

Are you guys still meeting this summer?

We always meet in the summer.

Hey guys, looking at moving to C-bus in a little over a year and was curious what your experiences with loud exhaust and no front plates have been out there? Got a built 408 with a pretty big cam to give an idea of noise.
