dude those seats are sick, what kind are they? or are they recovered reg seats? they look goood

 

they are the stock seats, had a local guy upholster do them in leather and he used th OE stiching.He did the headliner in black swade.He does great work.

 

They look like deluxe-style IROC seats, but nicely recovered in leather.

Very clean car man, I like the black and white interior, don't see it very much.

 

JPMZ28, where did you get the seats redone? I see you are friends with wedjim and he lives in Orlando right? How much did that cost you? Thanks.

 

Jim did the paint on the air inlet . Fernando Upholstery did the seats. His work #407-383-3638 and he is in Kissimmee.

 

car is amazing,, great job!!!

 

Very nice,love the seats!--but not the painted air intake. Your drawing atention away from the engine!

 

the stock air box looks to plain and wanted something to bring you into the engine bay.Here is a pic before see what you think.

 

car looks incredible. nice work!

 

If the motor wasn't making so much HP the air inlet might not have caught on fire! LOL


You guys should see this car in person!

The interior is Mostly black with some grey(no white, buts may look it in the pics) to break it up.


Fernando's Upholestry will do my interior soon also, .

I'm leaving my engine for last.

Fernando upholstery doesnt like to return calls. Maybe they are too busy? What was the cost to have the upholstery done in leather? I want to get a good idea before even thinking about having it done. When are you guys going back to OLD TOWN so i can see what you have?

 

He is very busy, but should call you back? Try him a couple more times to make sure it is getting thru.

We will be at Old Town, weather permitting, next Friday. (Saturday today)

Car looks super sweet, what are those wheels? I have never seen them on a 3rg gen before...are they custom?

 

VERY nice car! I guess I didn't realize that the BMR strut tower brace would clear the stealth ram? Did you have to mod anything to make it work, or did everything just bolt on and play nice together?

Again, awesome car, well done!

very nice car, excellent attention to detail. there's WAY too much going on in the engine bay though. i like the airbox, but the chrome is kinda cheezy looking with the hose covers everywhere and the chrome wire looms...my opinion...

 

I have only seen Longboard rims on one other car a 4th gen T/A. I dont think American Racing makes them any more.The strut brace took some work to install, had too remove upper intake and grind down and polish the ridges at the top of the upper intake so they would follow the outline of the strut brace.Then I used aluminum spacers to lift and tilt back the strut brace so it was almost parallel to the intake.Here are some pics

 

Hey, how about some better pics, sheesh, LOL!

wow man that is one MEAN iroc. Looks like the work payed off man. Thats one of the best ive seen.

 

wow, havent read this post in a while, i am happy its bumped up though. thats one sick f++in roc!

 

I can never find my 89 Iroc thread, but I can always find Joe's!



LOL

holy hell dude! All I can say! Be far one of the cleanest third gens. I've seen be far!

 

Hey guys thinking about putting the black IROC up forsale.Any one interested let me know, havent picked a number yet something in the mid to high teens.If you have any sugestions on were to list it i would appreciate any info thanks. Joe

 

I would say to ask $25,000!

IF you do sell that car......Someone would be getting a bad *** car with A LOT of time, money and effort in it. Brakes, engine, exhaust, tubular suspension, wheels and tires, leather, sound system, awesome paint, aftermarket intake and more!

If someone took a decent IROC into a shop to have all the same work done they would be in for a $30,000+ bill!

If it goes in the HIGH teens, it would be a steal! IT has the trophies to prove it!!!

wow, that thing is absolutely beautiful!

 

GREAT looking car

Crazy engine bay and unbelievable shine............congrats

 

Just installed a T-56 out of a 96 T/A with spohn crossmember in the black IROC.I will post pic as soon as I can

 

what kinda gas MPG do you get with the 355? I am thinkin about building one but i just wanna know about the mpg caz i DD mine. Amazing work. What wheels are they? -Matt

 

A 355 has about the same mpg as a 350.What changes gas milage is cam,heads,fuel system and gear.But mine get about 15mpg on average but I dont drive it hard and I have a 308 rear gear.

 

NICE CAR!.....how did you fit the BMR strut tower brace over the Steathram and still able to use the stock hood?

I thought the two wouldnt fit? heck my ram just barely fits with a piece I had to hack off the underside of the hood.

your engine mounts that worn out? I wouldnt think so...

do tell!

 

No the motor mounts are new they came with the BMR k-frame.If you go back to #20 in this thread I give some info on how to do it,but if you need more info let me know.I am putting the car up for sale so I will take some pics of the underside for the add and I will post some here and a better pic of the strute brace.

 

ah ok.....so the brace where it says BMR is basically sitting on top of the plenum? Cause I had a BMR when I used to have TPI and sold it here on the board cause I didnt think it fit.

yeah take better pictures showing the brace on plenum and the shims you had to use.


how much you gonna sk for your car?

It dyno 315hp before the fuel shut off at 3800rpm so I sent the dyno sheet to fast chip and they updated the prom but I havent dyno since.

 

nice

 

Here are some pics of the t-5 to t-56 swap

 

very clean

 

Thanks Chris. These are some more pics from the underside.Getting the car ready for the Ecklers CamaroFest next week.

 

great looking car, the only thing I'd change is the ultra cheesy chrome wire loom covers.. makes it look cheap.

 

i want to say i dont like the steering wheel cause ever time i've seen in pictures for sale online it looked like crap, but it just goes with ur interior and it looks great like it all came stock like that as some kinda really awesome option great car man

 

stock steering wheels suck a**
yours look great!

if you end up keepin the car..one thing I would change is the side markers to clears!..the yellows look like crap too cause there is nothing yellow on the car.

just my 2 cents!

 

I bought that steering wheel because it gave me more leg room.I was not crazy about the looks of it at first but it grew on me.The clear lights look nice but they are to trendy,with the hood closed I like It to look as stock as possible.

 

WOW very nice car........

 

hey what rims are those and about how much did they run you? the car looks great by the way
