I think an SC would look good with a 2" drop and some 17's. You could run a 275 on the stock IROC rim, but I do not know if anyone has made one. They do make a 295/50R16 and you can mount them on a 8" rim, looks a little buldged though. I have a set of those that I used to have on my IROC. All that sidewall kinda defeats the purpose of pro touring.

 

I love the Fikse FM5s on that car! I want some 17s. I've only seen a few other 3rdgens with that wheel. Those Firehawks on J's T/A look killer also! :hail:

 

1984 Z28 with fikse FM/5's in 17's.... the owner used to post here then just stoped????

Yeah, I have that pic saved on my harddrive. I PM'd that guy a few times and talked about the wheels. They are a custom set which is why you don't see too many 3rdgens with them. That car was also featured in a Camaro book that I've seen at the local book store. Nice clean car and hes the original owner.

 

that 84 also has a johnny lightning car replica. that car is sooo bad ***, its actually my backround. when i had my 84 thats what i wanted it to look like, but i didnt have any money so there was no chance in getting those 4000$ rims.

 

Hell yeah, the only other Knight Riderer with a T56! That car's my inspiration. BTW, I want that air intake setup on that first blue T/A. Where can I find it!!??

 

thats a pretty sweet TA

what kind of tires does that thing have? those fronts look mean!! LOL

 

You used to be able to get that kit through SLP. Not sure if they still make it? Check their website.

 

Look like yokohama A520's.

 

I'm going for that look/setup
Mini Tubbed for some 17x11 or 18's
Roll bar
lowered
all suspention mods.
tubular k member/a-arms
stroker turbo motor.

1 G lateral-OK
1 G braking-OK
1 G acceleration-not yet


Street driven? OK

TKO II five speed, 3:73 gears, DFI, blower, stroker, 275/315 17's, etc.

 

Your car came to mind! any new pic's of it.

Creative blower set-up there! Along w/ a few other things! One being the console delete....... I think I like it tho. It gives it a nice race car look.

 

Thanks-because that is mostly what it was built to do. The appearance changes came after the performance mods were already in place. There is still a ton of work to do before I would consider it complete.

 

Yups, bbunting's machine is :hail:

 

Thanks Crazy-now I need to catch you in the appearance department! (wheels)

 

Nice car, I remember it from a few years ago, any new vids?

 

yes, but Ill start a new thread for it....

 

Please do

I also still have a vid of your brothers car?? 434 shredding the tires down the street...awesome stuff

 

LOL! yes, that was an old but good one-that short block is for sale too....

434

 

Here is the link to the other thread...

this is a ugly photoshop off what i have in mind

 

If it's ugly, then why do you have it mind? Kidding...I think it looks really good. Reminds me of this car only more spokes.

 

Like to think I was sorta Pro-Tour, 17 in wheels, T-56,HSR, tubular k-member, springs, etc, or maybe just a nice street car.

 

Way to dig up a thread that's been dead for 5yrs.

 

Here we have living proof that search works and even newbies know how to use it!

 

That's the truth!


In that case, since it's already bumped...I'll have a pretty potent pro-touring-ish car when my swap is done. I'd already done most of the suspension work that I plan on doing, except I will upgrade the shocks to something better (QA1's most likely), it's already got Hotchkis springs, adjustable phb, LS1 brakes all around, subframe connectors, etc. I also plan on putting a 6 point cage in it down the road. But as far as having a good handling car with power, this would be it. I'm almost to the point in the swap where I can put the new motor mounts in place and drop it in there, a nasty 6.0L LSX with Texas Speed's MS4 cam, forged pistons and rods, and all the goodies for the valvetrain, and will have a T56 to boot.

 

Better to bring back an old one than to make ANOTHER thread for people to have to dig through.

 

 

I'm hoping to build mine up to a pro touring car too. Has anyone ever heard of the Camaro Mustang Challenge? It's a National AutoSport Association class. I thought it would be pretty cool to do that. Has anyone got a car for that?

 

Yes i've heard of it, and i've heard of the F-Body vs. Mustang shootout. It's not autocross or protouring though...it's drag racing.

 

I'm working toward pro touring but it was an easy start with a Gran Turismo (GTA of course)...

 

Can't say I like the wheels or wing, but the wing is interesting as i've never seen that before.

 

looks like a camaro rear end on a firebird front
looks very clean, but you might consider a flat hood or something to keep the smooth look

 

That's not a Camaro rear end, it's got the side marker lights on the quarter panels like a Pontiac would. What part of it was photochopped? The wheels? Personally, I think that's one of the best looking Pontiacs I've seen, those wheels without having a spoiler look really good.

 

WHAT???

The Camaro Mustang Challenge is not drag racing. Do a google search for CMC, American Iron, American Iron Extreme.

 

You need to re-read what I said. "and i've heard of the F-Body vs. Mustang shootout. It's not autocross or protouring though...it's drag racing." Wasn't referring to Camaro Mustang Challenge.

 

what model of bbs wheels are those?

 

They look like something found on a porsche. Thinking the 993 911 GT2. I'm trying to find the specific rim model.

Possible hits are the BBS Techno line-8 GT, or the Tuner Line-26 LM wheels

But most likely are the Race wheels, go to www.bbs-usa.com and click on Race Wheels, then Descriptions and Photos. They'll be on the bottom left.

 

I think they are BBS lm's not so sure tho...

 

Little update, shaved the side markers, other wheels (Rota p45r in bronze)
The color I am using is NH-0 (Championship White from Honda type-R models)

I will post pics off the REAL car once the roll-bar is painted so you get the idea!

 

Those look real poopie compared to the BBS wheels you posted before.

 

mehh, not so sure about that and for 4200$ Price DIFFERENCE...Not that bad I think

 

You mean the BBS wheels are that much more than the ugly ones in the second photochop? I would keep shopping then, because the last ones don't look like they belong on a 3rd gen, more like a Skyline or 240SX....

 

LOL they actually came from a Silvia (240z)
I actually like the look..Obviously not everyone here like that look...

 

On another note...heres A pic of the hood scoops I am making with the stock grills!




Far from finish but you can tell the shape


better shot off the scoops

 

Thats an interesting mod to the scoops. Personally, I'm going with a RA1 hood because I want a fiberglass hood for weight reduction, and the RA1 is the only one I like. I'd prefere a stock TA glass hood, but no-one makes one. Closest I could find is a stock firebird hood with no grills/vents.

I'm also thinking of doing my A-pillar in black like 4th gens have it because I hate the way my C&C T-tops meet the A-pillar. Black would hide it appearance wise.

 

Dude, that hood scoop mod is bad ***. I might have to steal that idea. What size are those crosslace wheels in the pic, is that real? they look like 18" or so. Very nice car, GTAs f'in rule.

 

Lol, this is odd. For the past few weeks I've been searching for Time Attack Volk TE37's.


I thought I was the only one trying to put import wheels on a domestic. None of the Volks or Rotas come in 5x120 though, so my search continues...
