Nice sippy cup.
I'd shy away from the blue looms and hoses. As well as getting new washer fluid and coolant overflow bottles.
Looks like a nice clean car though.

I wouldn't shy away from the blue hoses and looms (don't know why they'd say that) but I would have used red or something for colour contrast... but I think it looks great. Nice car.

I look at it now and see that I did go a bit overboard with the blue lol. I am planning on polishing the intake, getting polished valve covers, underdrive pulleys, etc. Thanks for the comments!
As far as the specs go, Engine was bored .030 over, forged pistons/rods, crankshaft turned and polished, engine was balanced out. Heads got a triple angle valve job, new springs/valves, 1.6 RR, LT4 Hotcam, Hedman headers, 8mm wires, deleted the Smog/AIR pump and lines. Bout it really, still a whole lot planned for it, never seems to end lol!

From what little Ive been able to drive it, its very strong, alot stronger than my old one. I need to get a stall converter, my power doesnt come in until about 2000 RPM and it takes off like a bat outa hell. I have a code 33 problem im trying to figure out now with Vaders help in the electronics forum, after that I could give you a better count of it.

Its an 89, the previous owner had the IROC-Z decals put back on, but neither him nor the installer knew they went towards the back of the door. As for the rims, I got them free by trading the 92 RS rims it had on it. Can't beat free! I do plan on fixing those descrepencies one day though.
