Just figured i would stop by and say HI!!

I used to be on here about a year ago when i was driving my 87 IROC around. Then i got a good deal on a 1997 Mustang Saleen, so i havent been on here in a while, i have been on stangnet.com. well recently (yesterday) i got a bunch of tickets so my insurance will probably skyrocket!! I might have to sell the stang, good thing is i still have my IROC. Here is what i am doing to it:

1987 Camaro IROC-Z

-New Crate 350 (dont have any specs) but it is TPI
-Rebuilt Transmission (700R4)
-Flowmaster Cat back
and that is it.

The paint isnt all that good but here are some pics.




I would like to see pics of White or Blue camaros. If i have to sell the stang I want to get the IROC repainted...i just dont know if i should get it repainted white...or go with a blue...like the viper blue.

-Mike

Why are you selling the Saleen and not the IROC? Personally, I would stick with the Saleen. But that's just me.

Well like i said in the first post i got a bunch of tickets yesterday and if my insurance skyrockets i wont be able to afford the insurance and the carpayment.

BUT if i go to court and get a couple knocked out and my insurance doesnt go up that much i will keep with my original plan... to keep the Saleen and Sell the IROC. As you can see in my sig i already have bought some stuff for the Stang and i havent even installed em yet i really want to keep it.

The way it looks now i might loose my license for a year... IF the judge is a hardass... It all depends on the judge's ruling and my insurance rate. so we will have to see...i am just planning for the worst.

-Mike

My temp gauge read the same thing once...and it was working.

That's what happens when you're driving at 110mph on a hot summer day and the thermostat doesn't decide to open. THANK *** I didn't warp anything...

hmmmm, my gauge does that when i start up but it sticks there - i have to sit there tapping the glass untill it drops down, then it works perfectly. Do you think a new guage would be the answer or just make some kind of stop to prevent it going high enough to stick.

Here's my baby!
