Alright, so I got a little excited. I picked the car up froma friend back in March. Got a ROYAL deal. Kept it off the road until the middle of June. While in the garage I changed the carpet. Then I decided to replace the seats because they were shot. I figured "Hey, why not replace them before I put it on the road?". Wonderful idea. So I picked up 4th gen seats. Bolted in like a dream. Snapped a couple of digital photos and realized - "Doofus. You forgot to take the before pictures!". I've overhauled almost the entire interior since then and put a bunch of "in the process" pictures on a page. I would really like to put pictures of the stock interior out there as a "before" type deal. Can anyone supply me with pictures of a stock grey interior from a thirdgen Iroc? I don't know if it matters much but mine's a 1987. I appreciate any help you can lend.

I love the custom gages. Is that a kit of is it all custom. Would love some more info on those.

 

Thanks. It's a kit. I think I paid $425 with tax. It was a little tricky wiring and I still don't have the gas gauge hooked up right. It reads 3/4 when full and runs it's way towards FULL as you drive. I think it has something to do with the voltage being too high. Without the stock gauge buffer there's no in line resistance to cut the voltage back to a max of 6 volts. Anyway, I've included a link to the website I ordered from. The people are great and will answer any questions you have. I would recommend calling them to get a quicker response.

lol i have the same problem with my gas gauge, when i hit the brake it goes down, and up with the gas.

 

my gas gauge sucks *** too. I either have a 9 gallon tank or it doesn't work, cuase I never put more than 9 gallons in it. Now I guestimate. I dunno if this helps any?

That may help some. Thanks. Just so I don't cause any trouble, I would like to use the pictures I wind up selecting on my picture page as a before example. Please let me know if anyone supplying pictures objects to that and I won't use the picture. I'd still like to see them, though.

 

looks great man. good job with the interior. about the gas gauge, i think most third gens do the up and down thing. mine goes down when i brake, and up when i take off from a start. i think its the sender in the tank that moves too easily.

 

It's not even that. The gauge reads totally wrong. I think I have to drop the tank and replace the stock sending unit. What a PITA! I'm pulling the gauge panel out. I just came up with a new design.

 

I know this is a stupid question but I gotta ask...is that dark charcoal grey? I've gotten many different answers, even from the dealer, and am in the process of changing my red interior over to dark grey, and need to order new carpet. Thanx

 

I dunno. My interior is stock with everything in like mint condition. The seats are excellent. I am gonna gut them for 4th gen seats. I am changing my car to two tone chorcal and grey. the grey around the hatch I will replace with chorcal and the arm rests as well. then I'm gonna get the chorcal and grey 4th gen seats.

 

then u hit the breaks the gas moves forward in the tank, and when u gun it, it moves back, that y ur guages go up and down, and all 3rd gens come with 15.5 gallon tanks, if im not mistaken, when u fill it up try lifting up on the handle, mine allways cuts off if i just leave it, thats a nice ride usa-1, sorry dont have ne pics tho
