i just bought an 87 Iroc a few months ago and havnt been able to work on it since it was to cold... now its getting warm out and i want to start working on my car... i was wondering if anyone could recomend some books.

i need to replace my drivers side door
i want to install something to make her get better gas milage

those are the main things right now.

thanks

 

I would suggest getting one of the GM service books. Chilton and Haynes only do so much. That book is definitely on my toget list.

 

my two favorites are
(Camaro performance handbook, David shelby, ISBN 978-1-55788-057-4)
(how to tune & modify chevrolet fuel injection, motorbooks workshop, ISBN 0-7603-0422-x)
Take a look on half.com for those two and you will have more info then you need!!

 

I thought about getting those books but let me ask you this, is there anything in there that isn't covered on here? That was the only reason I never got them. If so I still may get them when ever I get some money lol.

 

Welcome to TGO. A GM shop manual for your year. Nothing better.

i dont think any book will give you more info then you can find on here but the books compile it in a more organized way so that you can find the info faster. a gm shop manual may be better for working on your car in general but to get ideas for performance upgrades check out the other two. I honestly didnt even know that you could get a GM shop manual....lol semi nube here!!!

 

lol I have been going through all the post on here for about the past 2 months compiling everything I could need and saving it into my favorites into kinda like chapters where I can easily find them. Hours and hours later I am still working on it.

Yeah the GM shop manuals correct me if I am wrong but I believe you can get them for about $100 or so around the Internet. Haynes and Chilton books are so vague and don't tell you EVREYTHING.

 

Hit the swap meets. At the most recent I attended, the price was $50. I can't emphasize how useful a shop manual can be--throw away the Haynes/Chilton versions.

Man I wished I could get out to some swap meets but I really don't hear of many around here.

This was the best I could find but I havent dug around that much for the absolute cheapest.
