Nice cars. However I'm a little confused as to why the IROC badge is lower on your car and not in the appropriate place it normally is. Eventhough I have a left-hand drive car.. the badge would be in the middle on the right hand side. Since you have a right-hand drive car.. it is on the lower portion of the dash. Is this normal?

If you look at your 2nd post in the 2nd pic. You see the orange IROC Z-28 emblem? That doesn't look to be in the correct place. Unless thats how they set it up for right-hand drive cars? Normally the dash emblem sits right under the top of the dash in between next to the AC vent. Yours is on the very bottom of the dash.

All RHD camaros in Australia were converted IIRC, its likely his dash is completely custom and thats just where the badge ended up.

And also, i think you have a problem your asking about when your car is hot and cold.....i cant really understand what your asking/saying try and be a bit more clear.

Welcome though its good to see some Chevys down under, aussies love their japanese cars its good to see some muscle cruising around.

Re: Australian, With 1988 Iroc-Z camaro right hand drive, pic's of my 1965 corvette

Did u have your dash made or did the camaro have it when you got it? I would like to get a right hand drive dash for my 87 IROC-Z so if u can give me all the details on how to covert my car to a right hand drive that would be great. Thanks

The IROC logo on the doors are also in the wrong place. Was the car repainted?

My dash logo is in the normal spot after conversion.Probably depends on who does the conversion as to where things end up.

That's not a 65 vette, it's either a 63 or 64. 65 had the slanted louvers on the side. Looking at the dash, it's a 64.

The whole hot and cold performance thing happens to just about every car I have ever been in. There could be a few exceptions but chances of having a car that doesnt do that is slim.
