Sorry about the paper floor mat. Kind of an eye sore in that pic.

Here is my project thread on it if anyone is interested. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/hist...llow-iroc.html
Apparently imageshack has stolen many of the pictures which were in the thread.

Re: POLL: September 2014 COTM * Voting *

Thank you guys so much for the nomination. My car is a 92' RS (now converted exterior to Z) that I bought from the original owner in 02' and used as a daily driver/resto mod up until Dec 12' when she got hit and the front end ripped off of the car. I spent the next 6 months stripping the whole car down to bare metal, doing body work and respraying the car in my garage.

Since we are talking color this month I believe this is the, or at least one of the rarest colors on thirdgens. It is Dark Green Grey Metallic and had less than 2500 cars produced in it. In addition to being a one year only color, it was also not an option on the Z28, it was RS only, though you could get the B4C package in it.

-iForged Aero 3 piece wheels
-C5HD Brakes (dual piston calipers and drilled/slotted 13" rotors)
-Rear disc conversion with Thorsen posi and 3.23 gears
-LO3 with open element and ultimate TBI mods (going LS soon!)
-4th gen leather, and hand made (by me) aluminum dash kit
-Full performance suspension; Eibach Sportline Springs, KYB AGX Shocks, Hotchkis weld in SFCs, trailing arms, and adjustable panhard bar, BMR adjustable torque arm, wonder bar, Energy Suspensions poly bushings, poly engine and trans mounts, sway bar end links
-Custom Billet Z28 Emblems by FSTFBDY and custom Billet Grill and Hood inserts by me

Re: POLL: September 2014 COTM * Voting *

I appreciate the nomination!

I've been on these boards for quite a while, and most everyone knows the details on my car. But for those that don't here's a quick rundown. I bought the car as a basket case that had sat in my brother-in-law's driveway for 8 years outside. Yes - it was a 500 dollar car. But I thought it was special since it was an "HO" car, so I bought it.

Since then, the car has went through many changes. Over this past winter, I found a decent deal on a brand new Dart "Little M" block with steel billet main caps..so I decided to buy that along with AFR Street Eliminator heads.

Re: POLL: September 2014 COTM * Voting *

was a pretty tough choice...i tried to keep in mind the criteria of "not the usual colors" but still voted for a gray car, although i feel like thats a pretty usual color here, but i didn't open my mouth during the nominations so i guess i dont have room to talk here lol. either way, grngryoutmyway got my vote!

Re: POLL: September 2014 COTM * Voting *

Don't have too many pictures of the car. I can tell you it looks even better today in person(Car was fininshed in 05' I think) I'll try to get some up, but don't have time to shine it up. All I can say it all the "right" mods were done for the time. Still have some upgrades in the works. Plus the driver door isn't closed all the way in the 1st pick. win or loose I'll post up more when it's all the way done.. Other cars look great BTW, stiff competition for sure.

Re: POLL: September 2014 COTM * Voting *

All of the cars are worthy in my opinion but if for no other reasons than:
My first 3rd gen was the early Z28.
I like the colour (see mine to understand why).
I dig engines that provide their own atmospheric pressure.
Confuzed1 has my vote.
