Changed my Camaro!

Well I had my IROC-Z for around 18 months and it served me well, it never let me down even durng a 1000 mile trip through France! However I started to lust after a bit more power and swapped my IROC for this 1992 Z28 5.7 TPI around three weeks ago. She's pretty much immaculate, having spent most of her life in Japan and only covering 35,000KM! See what you think...

Thanks! I'm afraid I didn't import the car myself, it came over in 2007. I know very little about the car but I do have the original owners name and address, I thought about writing a letter and hoping they speak English!

I had a 1987 IROC-Z 5.0 TPI. This car is in much better condition and it feels quite a bit more powerful! I don't think they ever made these in RHD? I don't have much history for the car so I can't tell when it first went from the USA to Japan.

Yeh, when I first saw the car I thought "I got to find some factory wheels" but I really like them now! Not so sure about the big fat tyres on the back however.....

Re: Changed my Camaro!

Looks good. They were not made RHD from GM although I have seen a few converted by guys out in Australia.

Here is the IROC I traded, it looks quite clean in these pictures mainly because I spent HOURS on the wheels. It had a few paintwork issues however which don't show in the photo, but it was looking a bit tired.

I had to put some money in too, probably paid over the odds but it's definitely a keeper!
