took some new pix of my car today with engine shots.

its just got doen raining out so the pics are a little off.
the motor has the folowing

hooker competions headers
2 1/4 true duals
flowmaster mufflers
crane cam
weihin intake (spelling??)
Carter AFB competition series carburater
motor was rebuilt 30xxx ago

also im still not shure off the rest of the internals such as pistons and such the list above is what im shure of at this point in time untill i talk to the ariganal builder of the engine.

also soon to come is a new
water pump
belts
chrome water neck
chrome alternater bracket
flex fan
chrome dip stick
bright red silicone hose kit
and more yelow wire cover
i have all this in the trunk as we speak just need to wate till it stops raining to put it on also the engine and car are both dirty in these pics so dont judge the car to much on these pix i havent even begun to spend any real money on this car like i plan to i plan on doing alot of work to this car. i get picked on by people in my toun all the time saying my car is a pos even tho it isnt even on the road yet and they havent seen what it can do but all it does to me when i hear them talk crap about it is make me want to spend even more money on it so i know to my self that my car is or will be faster and better lookign then theres is. and i might ad i am the only one in my school that owns a sports car so there isnt realy any competition at all just talk cause they are jelus.

Looks good, too bad you can't find another way to hang those mufflers.

Get some wider tires and make her look evil from the back!

I think it looks real good except for how the mufflers hang and the fake iroc decals and wheels. Everything else looks real good man! There's just something about a black car that i really like.

Few things I dislike, but looks good, and looks like alot of work.

Paint the engine bay to match the outside.
Dislike the way the mufflers hang/visable
Tires have a tad bit to much sidewall.


But these are my opinions, and they amount to

yeah i know

the engine compartment looked alot better before but i had to be a smart a$$ and clean the engine the fast way and use a pressure washer and it took the paint off with it. i nearly kicked my self in the a$$ for it.
im also going to get a nice strut tower brace to go with the engine compartment ontop of the other things that i need to put on it when the weather clears up

the car looks excellent, but for the motherof pearl PLEASE figure out a better way tp hang those mufflers, it looks horrible, it's nice to see true dual but make them straight and the rear will look 100x better.

personally, i don't like the bright wire looms, i would put black on it to make them blend in, i think an engine bay looks much better without wires, but it's kinda hard to have a running engine without wires. are those braided hose covers or real braided line? braided line will last a lifetime, however, braided covers will not, and it will be hard to find leaking lines with those covers over them, i would invest in some real stuff if you truely like the look of braided line. i know it's expensive but worth every penny. my car has it, and my dad's car has it. my dad has had his since 1990. it's good stuff, you can't go wrong. other than that, nice car, i really like 91-92 camaros

way too many colors for me in that engine bay. Yellow, red, blue, and silver hose covers. At least toss the yellow wire looms. Personally I like hiding wiring harnesses. Never understood why people like to make them stand out ????

Transmission: 700R4 with Midwest 3400 2.4str...M6
Axle/Gears: SLP Zexel Posi unit 3.42's...3.73's
Lose the yellow under the hood, go with black.
Lose the IROC decals, its not an IROC...
Fix the mufflers
Give it a nice good proper cleaning....

The car will be nice!


So the car used to be RED? Man I hate that you used a presure washer under the hood....I did that when I first got my IROC and lost the one of the IROC decals on the side....NEVER AGAIN!!! Only time I use the presure washer is the get all the dust and road crap off...I just use rinse...and never put it close to any of my decals...
