sorry at the moment i don't. i was planning on doing a small gauge pod in between the gap . along with the 4th gen door panels that i have aside.

is the 4th gen gas tank interchangeable with the third gen unit? I found a small replacement aluminum fuel cell for a 4th gen that I would like to install in my 91 RS drag project.


Also where can I find one of those extended 3 piece spoilers!
it is an interchangeable unit with the right fuel lines. and the 3 piece spoilers was made by me a while back before my swap

Re: my LSx 87 IROC build

If your refering to the 5" tall spoiler, look at Hawks. Ive heard the quailty is not up to par though. Bad fitment issues.

TPI Terr is not running the Hawks spoiler, he molded it himself.

My Hawk's 5 inch spoiler does not line up correctly, requires some modifications to fit properly and its finish was less than perfect(wavy/uneven). You would think that for $300 it would be ready to spray and bolt on. Besides that, with a little extra work it looks

Re: my LSx 87 IROC build

Yea, like i said, i love the looks of them on our cars, and was about to purchase one, until i looked on here, and seen that there had been issues with every single person that had purchased one. It killed me to find that out because i wanted one so bad, but like you said, for that amount of money, after a paint job, that thing should be near perfect after install. Me not being a bodyman, cannot justify spending the cost of the spoiler, then the cost of the body work, and paint. Six to seven hundred dollars total for a couple inches taller spoiler doesnt work with the wife to well. Id like to see them at least kick the quality up a bit on them, and id buy in a heartbeat.

Re: my LSx 87 IROC build

not too many updates since last time.

i had my firewall m/c area reinforced to prevent flexing and the issues i previously had.. i added a ram adj master cylinder and modified 3rdg gen pedals.
but the car is drivable finally. 3rd and 4th dont go in not as smooth as before. so seems like the symptoms reversed. it used to be 1st to 2nd gear. i hope its not my tranny. anyways im driving it normal. ill be dropping the tranny in a few months. i have a feeling it needs to be looked at.. but possibly my clutch might be going out.. (rear main seal leak)

i also reinforce the chassis by adding a plate where stress cracks build by the steering gear mounting place.

recharged my a/c system. i have to find a way to fix the heater control valve on. seems like the coolant is still running into the heater core and has great impact.. it will be cool if i can drop a good 5-10 degrees. i used the same one as ghetto cruiser. its nice to be n cali with the hot weather and a/c cooling u down.

now once i resolve the tranny issues. id like to get back on to the suspension and possibly re do my exhaust. 2.25 piping in the front looks pretty gay. sfcs and a stb will be along the way. Ive been wanting to do auto x.

At least they are the Golds. I love the people who come in complaining about how long the valuecrap (craft) pads last, and then buy them again...and again.

Re: my LSx 87 IROC build

so door panels are semi conplete. im looking for some ebony ones since these were test fit.
i need the siwtches as well '

car needs alignment and bump stops ans steering stops! * umi issue
i took my car to accurate alignment out here in orange county ca when the konis were in but i paid a bill for that..
im not sure im willing to pay that again..

hopefully the rain doesnt come around * i need to drop the transmission and inspect my clutch

and my ac ondensor has a big bang in the middle... i guess i l wait for next summer to fix it.

Re: my LSx 87 IROC build

so few new changes for the new year. car got a new color/custom color back in dec. body work took forever but everything came off. well worth it. minor things that i still have to take care of are emblems. inner wells misc parts/ few interior panels

i haven't finished my door panels but they are there as temps. also in storage i have a min condition 2005 gto dashboard that might be going in this summer after i figure out the hvac ducting. ill be looking into ebony 4th gen door panels which look easier to work with.. i have issues with the ls7 clutch . so i will be looking for a better kit.
as for the engine no internal work yet.. its still stock.


rip old paint...





and a teaser of the new wheels.

my ballpoint seemed to be setting out of place.. i believe all the friction and vibration caused it to fall apart.

i damaged the bottom of my control arm and alignment..

so i ordered the umi tubular a arms not having issues no index point, no bump stop or steering stop.. ive been driving the car like this for a while.

Re: my LSx 87 IROC build

I'm just now realizing that you have a '91/'92 front chin spoiler and '85-'90 ground effects everywhere else haha

How come you didn't do the whole conversion, or on the other hand, how come you don't get an older style chin spoiler?
