Default Hello Everyone!

New guy on the site, posted my info in the introduction section. Live in spring Hill, 30 minutes north of Tampa. Just got my hands on a black 94 formula and was wondering how often things happen down here in sunny Florida. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Nice, yeh i've been in SH for about a year now and to be quite honest I enjoy it compared to Philly, as much as I loved my city. Much nicer on my car down here hehe. Sold my 81 trans am before i moved and just got this 94 formula Gonna throw a TA hatch on it (I like the raised spoiler) and a SCC pred. hood and air box. Wanna respray her Black with the factory white Formula decals. 17 inch black m-series wheels, ect ect. Also thinking that white Blackbird stripes and wing tips will accent it quite nicely. Thats some bank to spend though, so I have many paychecks to save for it

here is an example of the stripes and wingtips on an LS1 model and the aforementioned wheels coming in the near future.

Welcome to the area, well if you have been here a year already then I suppose you know about the huge car show on 50 every Thursday night. So I guess welcome to LS1tech. If you have any LT1 questions or just need a hand let me know.

Dakmor, I don't know about a lot of stuff happening, pretty quiet around Hernando/Pasco/Citrus.

Yeah its by the chick-fil-a and Sears. Hmm I think its an H.H. Greg, same kinda place anyway.

Nice! I think I'm gonna have SRT rebuild a shortblock I have laying around here, slated for my Silverado. I'm off of County Line so I'm close by. Small world, keep finding people that either know him or have had work done by him. Yet I've never seen any advertising, you'd never even know he was there. News of great work must get around.

Scotty G does good work my man. Im from philly originally and I use to run with the Weber family up there. Big Bill Weber runs a couple high 8 and low 9 second camaro's and a corolla with a 385 stroker LOL. Scotty tunes his engines. Also I was over his place this week cause his parents do a u-haul thing and i needed an auto transport so I was walking through the machine shop and I saw this 737 cube he's shipping to Bahrain I believe. Thing looked nasty. Talked to him about stroking the LT1 he said it can be done and he knows Eagle rotating assemblies are the way to go for that.

Hey Corey I picked up a new demo this week and thought you might like it. I decided to use it this weekend so washed it and took some pics. Thursday night I am heading down to Spring Hill for some fun and hope to see you.

Yep, that's where the show is at, Thursday evening. If its not raining this next week I might head up, Thursdays are kinda crap for me this semester as I have to go back to PHCC at 7PM for a class, after leaving there at 5, so I only have so much time to grab dinner and get back there. Guess if I combine the two activities I'd have time to go up to 50.

Hey Richie, I might be up there, its just a time thing for me. So you'll be there in a fifth gen then?

Well the weather looks like it might hold out this evening. I'm going up to Ruby Tuesdays regardless, then if the show is on I'll be walking around, 5:45-6:30ish depending on how fast food comes out to me at Rubys. I'll be wearing a black Nitrous Outlet shirt and a desert camo hat so you can find me if you are up there Xer0ta, or anyone else I don't know that wants to say hello. Richie you still headed down?
