Who here has what type of thirdgen, eg, Z28, sport coupe, TTA, GTA, RS, Berlinetta, IROC etc....

Just to get you started, as i'm sure you all know, I have an 86 Sport Coupe.

(lets see some photo's as well)

 

85 Z28 here. Just an LG4, but I really don't care much for performance, otherwise I'd have bought a Renault 5 GT turbo.

And I'll be driving her again soon! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's the engine. Since this picture I've had the car running (first time in a year) and the next step is moving the car into the street so I can drive up and down it while I fine tune it!

 

I drive a sport coupe with IROC stickers on the doors

 

Black Formula 5.7L TPI here.

 

black 82 Z28 305ci 3pd auto with IROC door stickers but not for long though

 

1992 Firebird with the mighty V6:

 

88 Camaro 350 IROC

 

I have a picture of you, don't make me post it!

 

1991 305 A/T, owner since 1992, current 301.500 km (approx. 187.400 mls), first engine, first tranny, first paint...

 

We're all friends here.....post it man!

 

i'll wait untill our fearless leader has had the chance to respond first.

(its been seen before as part of another picture)

 

Red 82 Trans Am , 305 Crossfire , T-tops etc . Ongoing renovation project, have owned the car for 5 years.

Recent work : replaced ecm and fusible links; have removed the aircon , but still to fit the a/c delete panel. Also have a wonderbar ready to bolt on, if I ever find the time to continue working on the car .......

 

89 Camaro RS 5.0

 

Darn you and all that sail in you! I must make sure you are never near me when I've had a few and you are armed with that camera I love the stickers and always have!!

 

Ive got a red 92 Z-28, whenever I get a digital camera ill get some pics on here.

 

'89 RS Camaro no longer playing.
'74 440 Charger SE now showing at a road near you.

 

oh what the h<x>ell............

 

I suddenly have a new found lack of respect for ZZ42fast

 

I drive my luvverly '85 Z28...............

However i have just added a new one to my fleet of vehicles which so far includes the Z, an ex Police Rover 220SDi and a Ford Escort Diesel Van........

It's a bloody motorbike!!!!!!!!

As you can imagine the other half is dead impressed

 

'86 Camaro sport coupe auto-everything chrome plated or polished, and finally fitting air suspension! Then needs taking out to be chrome plated!!!! Still LG4 motor though-but shiney.

91RS with rebuilt 350 and quadrajet - manual box. Soon to be painted professionally! Whaaaay! Then TPi'ing it, just for a laugh.

Hardly drive any of 'em. Anywhere. Enjoy driving them though when they do venture out, but like working on them better. That's sad isn't it?

Andy.

 

Thanks Phil... Don't make me post that pic of the Sport Coupe with those stickers on it

Still no idea what I was doing there!

Paul love that pic in your sig. Like backwards evolution Hope all is well with the beast!

 

well although I'm Irocfan I don't actually have one... what I do have is a 1986 Z28... with a 'couple' of mods which are as follows:

5.7 egine block
forged 383 crank
forged keith black pistons
edelbrock 10.1:1 alloy heads
holley 750 (vacuum secondary)
performe manifold
hydraulic lifters
alloy rocker arm
radiator
B&M shift kit
HEI ignition
uprated 700r4
large capacity gearbox sump
subframe conectors
grant steering wheel
springs and shocks (tho the front ones need to be done properly!!)
iroc alloys (1989 style)

 

1990 IROC-Z (305 TPI) here.

 

Spent yesterday morning gunking and jet washing, and eventually found the oil leak from the bloody valve/rocker cover gasket. Good news I suppose. Phoned USautomotive Friday a.m, and get the parts today, Saturday.

 

I have a blue 1990 IROC-Z



All stock appart from big mufflers (about to go anytime soon) and a bigger than stock spoiler (going when I next have the car re-sprayed)

PS: PontiacV8, man! Your car rocks!!!

 

hey cuna... did you buy that car from a chap in colchester?

 

Paul,

That's fantastic news!! It could have been far worse! Do you miss your 3rd yet?

Felix

 

nah, some guy in London. Overall the car is very good, it does have several little problems which I am slowly sorting out though

I am dead pleased with it!!! After years of driving little engined cars even a 305 feels VERY nice!!!!

 

Irocfan: Do you have any dyno numbers or drag strips times for your set-up?

Did you do it yourself or did it have the 383 SBC when you bought it?

 

 

cuna... only reason I asked is that it looks very similar to one I looked at June last year with a nice shaped rear spoiler, 15" IROC alloys and blue painted inserts

dr g... not figures yet since I bought the car already done... all bits were new mostly from summit... nowidea what the power output is I'm guessing that around 370 is not too far of the mark (based on similar spec cars I've read up about)... but once I'm working again I want to try a few RWYBs at north weald and see how I get on

 

Yup But trying not to.

 

Sounds like the same one... Mine does have an aftermarket spoiler on it. It looks nice, but it doesn't quite match with the sides when you close the boot so I was thinking of putting an original spoiler back on.

Tomorrow I'll take it to an auto-electrician, the fans are not comming on for some reason... Can't wait to be able to drive it into town

 

sounds like the one I went to see last july... seemed to be a nice car apart from the lack of nearly any history and the fact that it'd had a rear ender necessitating a new tail gate - not a problem in it-self... just wish the owner had told me before I travelled to look at it... be interesting to hear your thoughts on ownership....

 

I looked under the car and I don't think it has ever been rear ended. Not so badly it is noticeable anyway... It has a perfect tailgate, it might not be the same one.

Well, I reckon the owner sold it because the minor problems piled up. When I bought it was smoking like there was no tomorrow, fortunately that turned out to be the PCV valve.

The right calliper was binding and it pulled when breaking, however just driving it around seems to have fixed that.

The rev counter is over-reading to hell!!! When you floor it the needle hits the limiter at what would be 8k rpm!!!

The gearbox is sweet and smooth, feels awesome. The engine now that it stopped smoking seems alright, idles very smooth and pulls strong. It drives totally straight and handles very well. Bodywork is awesome!!!

Seems like a perfectly practical car apart from one thing, the turning circle sucks.

I have booked in Dolphin Autos on Monday to get my fans fixed. Then I’ll service it in a couple of months time.

I love it It could be faster, but otherwise it is an awesome car, sweet handling, GREAT torque for pulling out of junctions and into roundabouts, alright brakes... But best of all EVERYONE looks I know it is only a humble Camaro but it feels like I am driving a UFO

 

Hi cuarawit,

Good to hear you are loving the car. How come you fancied a Camaro? Where are you located? You should put a sig together so we know what she has. Any plans for it?

I agree though the turning circle is about the same as a supertanker You also may notice a strange creaking from the steering on full lock. Just one of the many idiosyncracies that acyually make it more fun

As for the looks, you may find the ladies aren't so keen (eh Damo? ) but only becuase they think they look evil Crikey that is exactly what I love about them!

Good to have you on the boards.

Felix

 

I always liked Camaros, since I virtually learned to speak I have been saying I wanted a Camaro. I still remember looking at the Camaro and Firebird that I had for my slot car track and thinking they looked SO incredibly cool (second gens, I was only around 4 years old).

I grew up in Venezuela BTW, 1st and second generation Camaros are very common over there. 3rd gens only the latter models (91-92) are common and 4th gens are fairly common too. I always wanted a 70-1/2 Z28 with the split front bumper But for now the IROC-Z will do, I hope it proves to be quite a reliable daily driver... When I have the cash to run a Camaro as a second car I'll get an early second gen. If I am not tempted away by a 70 Cuda that is
