I have a '92 Z28 hardtop with 57,000kms on it that's been sitting in the garage for 3 or 4 years. I sold the GTA as a rolling shell and all the good stuff is going in the Z28. I hope. It was supposed to have happened last winter but I had a little accident at work.

Are you selling your IROC?

I'm just changing my pistons and uping the compression from 9:1 to about 11:1

Plus changing my cam from the old comp XE256H to a comp 276HR-14

And maybe some Nitto's

All in all, should drop me a second or more

I forgot to add the BMR LCA's with the Nitto Drag Radial's

I thought on that XE276HR-12 cam but decided on the 276HR-14 because its more computer friendly and more charger friedly in the future

The ones 224/230 .503/.510 112LSA the others (that i picked)220/230 .510/.510 114LSA

Hope to be done some time in 2004.

Just finished this today. What do you think of the colour?

Now things can start to be bolted on.

It's 3-stage PPG

Base Coat: PPG Pure Gold
Mid Coat: PPG Sunset Red
Clear Coat: PPG Clear

It's a true candy job, so under direct sunlight it will turn bright orange on the highlights from the gold reflecting through the mid coat. I still can't get over how good your paint looks for being 2-stage... in the pics it looks like candy.
