I have been going up into the canyons in the mulholland hwy area at least twice a month. Usually its me and a buddy or 2.

I wanted to see if anybody would be interested in joining us.
We run fairly hard, so if your a canyon enthusiast this is the place for you. There are a lot of good roads out there with little to no traffic. I went out this past weekend in the middle of all the fires, and other than having the interior of my car covered with ash it was a blast.

Please email me if ya wanna come along coletrickle350@hotmail.com

If i get enough people we'll make an event out of it.

Thanks Mike

 

I'm out of town right now, won't be able to do anything till Saturday 11/23, if you're still game I would LOVE to thrash around the canyons! Take my SS & get her broken in.

 

hey carlos, are you selling all the suspension parts in your LT1? since you got an SS, why dont you sell all those suspension parts to me at low price

 

Let me think about it...
NO.

 

last i checked UCLA is close to Mulholland just tell me when, i will if i can

 

hahaha

let me know if you are going....i wanna go too......with my stock suspensions and bad shocks

 

off topic | anybody here know of a good drivetrain/driveline related shop around the LA area?

i need to confirm that my driveshaft is causing the shake/vibration 80mph+ before i go buy an alum. ds

thanks - Brian

 

Hey guys sounds like we got some people interested.
Lets do this on the 9th of november.
Thats a Sunday
We'll meet up somewhere around 8ish and then role out from there.
Stay tuned into the forum i'll post directions for the meeting spot soon.


Oh and Brian I have to get my driveshaft balanced too.
Theres a place called Cooks.
There prolly one of the best in the southland.
I'll email you there info.
Btw if your not making over 400hp than get the aluminum driveshaft anyways, its worth the money.
The Chevy aftermarket one is the best bang for the buck.
Any gmperformance parts dealer can sell ya one.

 

Hey you two...

RE: high speed vibration...Do y'all have the manual 6-speeds, and, if so, has the vibrations always been there since you two bought them?

If you bought the cars with the high speed vibrations, it might also be due to having the clutch improperly replaced...This causes high speed vibrations around 80mph and gets worse when you go faster.

It's just a thought.

 

Carlos not to undermine your statement.

But i believe a clutch problem would be rpm related and not speed related.
In other words if the clutch was causing the vibration i could put the car in nuetral and take it to 6g's and then get a vibration.
In this case it might be the clutch.
Our problems are at highspeeds.

Thanks Mike

 

It can be speed related as well, unfortunately, something about our f-bodies & clutches, something has to be balanced, I forgot what it was...It's happened before with other f-bodies on this site as well as ls1.com, mine is doing the same thing.

Dangit, I forgot exactly what it was! Once the clutch is replaced, I think it may have something to do with resurfacing the flywheel/pressure plate??? There is a certain way of doing this with the t-56 trannys...

 

sorry to stray from the original topic but:

Can the 80mph+ "vibeshaft" shaking be caused by the clutch throwout bearing ? I've heard the original clutch throwout bearing causes the common rattly noise when engaging 1st and 2nd gears (low speed). I heard it's a harmless noise that'll go away with a clutch replacement. Mine has 54k original miles on it. Despite all that I suspect it's the ds
opinions?

Thanks | Brian
