Hey ya'll. I am about to move to San Antone in 2 weeks (end of March 2010). I am trying to figure out when/where the next meet is so I can show off my new toy (89 GTA) and meet up with the locals. Also, do any of ya'll know about the statewide 3rd gen meet happening this summer? Any info would be great. Look forward to meeting everyone.

Apparently there are some third gens going to be meeting on Naco Perrin tomorrow Friday at 8Pm
Posted on TGO:
"How about a short meet on Friday 19 Mar 2010? Say 8 pm?
'Stiky Steves Wing House' at 4121 Naco Perrin off of Perrin Beitel?
I talked to the owner and he said he would stay open past 10 pm if necessary. Nice guy, just opened the shop last month.
Plenty of parking available. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
I will try and post a copy of the menu."

I went out and there were two firebirds out there. Keith was there with his vortec formula, that thing sounds wicked.
Stiky Steves wings is a little hole in the wall joint but there is plenty of parking around that area. The owner apparently will stay open as late as needed.
The cruise actually wasnt that bad. I drove with the windows down all the way home and it really was nice to get the car out for a nice drive.
I learned of a couple good spots to have a meet. There is already a gathering of cars at 1604 and culebra behind Mama Margies on Sunday nights around 8 PM.

The Sunday meet at 1604 and Culebra was awesome. I got there at 8PM and it was just me and Pancho. By 9:30-10:00 it was packed like Fuddruckers used to get, but I think there were way more cars.
I hope to get the yellow Z back on the street in the next couple weeks. I am starting to think its not a tranny issue, thats its a detent issue. It simply refuses to upshift into 4th gear but it doesnt slip or rev up like its in neutral. It also starts off in 2nd gear, so maybe I didnt hook up the detent cable in the pan correctly, or the TV valve is stuck.
I also figured out what was squealing in the IROC. I took off all the belts except for the power steering belt, and the squeal went away. The front bearing on the A/C compressor is toast after I kept revving the engine 5K+ on that 23 year old R12 part.
