1987 Iroc-z

So when are you going to look at this thing? Looks goood My quess is in about two weeks. I gotta go to the bank and get a bigger loan :P It depends I gotta see when I can get a ride out there and when if I get the bigger loan..if not i gotta wait till i sell my old car and my old stereo.

try posting in the escort one, and in the nonspcefic one. just buy one and after you find it out, take the book back and get you money,lol

looks like AFI 05's camaro.

thats an odd shade.. maybe its blue but looks that green color cause of the quality of the pic like the guy said..

post up the VIN # so we can determine what motor you most likely have. if the 8th digit is an "8" , you have a 5.7L TPI (looks like my motor in my sig) if the 8th digit is "F", you have a 5.0L TPI motor (also looks like the motor in my sig).. :screwy:

ahhh okay cool.. yeah now we just need to wait for the engine pics to see if you got an LT1 in there :naughty: or not.

yeppers...should be this weekend i get them

guys i read on another forums that since this car as t-tops that the frame will twist easier when drag racing it...is this true?

in stock form, definately, body is vulnerable.. BUT there are braces and suspension mods and all these goodies that will make it really, really firm.

so i should wait to put those braces on before i drag it...how hard are these braces to put on? I dont have to rip the car apart now do i?

put them on as soon as you get the money and time, it is a good upgrade, alot stifer frame to. some of them are ajustable and the other are made just for the car, so it will not be to hard.

all you need is a way to lift up the car.. im not sure whether you bolt or weld sub frame connectors and such things though.

As so i would prolly need to bring it to a garage.

Definitely get some sub frame connectors. My 87 IROC is also a t-topped car, and flex is a big issue. Just got my connectors from spohn performance last night. Can't wait to put them on. You can get either weld or bolt on, but most perfer weld ins.

If it's a stock lt1 I don't think it would be a necessity to have SFCs for racing, although it would help a great deal. I would recommend Sphon for third gens because they have good ground clearance, strength, and mounting points. Also don't pay more to have them painted cause it'll come off when you welded them in, if you go that route.

also...why am i gonna paint something UNDER my car..i can understand under the hood but in the undercarriage. i dont think im gonna be painting down there

Exactly what i did Nate. They want $50 more dollars for the paint, and since the damn things gonna be under the car, they're never really gonna be seen by the eye often. And your right, the paint will come of eventually, being under the car and all, especially if you drive in all elements.

yea living in northern ontario im gonna be spending enought money on getting the car rust proofed(under coated) like 4 times a year lol

I hate it when you guys add like 5 pages to a thread over night and I have to read threw 5 pages to see if I get to ban of you guys for anything :banghead:

I need invest in some of that stuff aswell.

the braces n such?

No, the underbody paint. I got all the braces n' stuff in from ups last night. Haven't open the boxes yet, i just have to many boxes to open!!!!!!!

ahh yea.its only like $50 to get it done here so i dont think thats too bad

POR-15 :thumbsup:

wtf is POR-15?

Thats what it's called. Where can i get some?

It's a corrosion inhibiting paint that you can Paint Over Rust and be done for years.

Even holds up to brake fluid too.

Basically it's rustoleum with balls.

Brake fluid is some strong shit.

yeah, we tested on my dad's '53 ford frame rail once, I almost crapped my pants when he poured it(brake fluid) on there, going "watch this shit"

Oh yeah Wrightz28, where can i get some of this stuff from?

I think I've seen it available at regular paint suppliers. I know we ususally just get auto paint supplies form a vendor that goes to all the swap meets 'cuz he's a nice guy and priced fair.

And there are some knock off brands out there that arent' too shappy either. I got tired of sanding my Crapice i had and primered it with the stuff worked pretty good.

so this stuff is regular paint? An i just put it down on my car? I dont understand lol

Ok guys I finnally got the pics of the interiour and engine of this car...let me know if its the TPI or the LT-1

tpi, that is a rare one to, i never see them with a 240mph speedometer.looks good

i think its 240 km/h

oh ya it is it is 150 mph ok.

yep it is a tpi tho, that is a good motor to.

So even though it is the TPI motor not the LT1 is it still worth the $10,000 Canadian, obviously im gonna talk him down hopefully to around $8700-$9000
But we will see

how manny miles are on it? and is there any thing wrong with it?

113,000 km about 75,000 miles and I havent test drove it yet but from what I understand it works perfect

Yeah talk him down a bit, tell him that it has a TPI and not an LT1 and that Lt1s are worth more..

Since he isnt a car buff he wont know the difference and will think that the car is worth way less..

thats a TPI buddy

thats a TPI buddy

Thanks for telling us last week's news.

^ HAHAHAHAHA!!! Thats funny. Definitely talk him down man. Looks good buy the way.
