My 87 Iroc

I just got back from TX with my 87 Iroc. I sold this car in 2001 to a friend. he has had it in his garage pretty much since he bought it. Now that it's almost done he decided he wanted something else so I bought it back. Anyway here are some pics.

Re: My 87 Iroc

It looks the same on the driver side. I'm not really a fan of the wheels either but I had to have some to get it home. Plus these were cheap.

Re: My 87 Iroc


I had to have wheels because it didn't come with any but he was running 4 gen firebird wheels. He gave me the spacers that he was using.
These are growing on me but I would rather have some stock Iroc wheels or something off a C5.

Here is the drivers side.

To me the black around the headlights screams ****** car. Which I hear enough of as it is, I work at a Honda dealership.

Re: My 87 Iroc

Have not really messed with this thing to much but I did get the windows tinted, so I took some pics at work yesterday.





I also got some Iroc wheels that I'm going to polish. Got one them stripped down and most of the rough stuff smoothed out. Man it's a lot of work but they are going to look good when they are done.

Painting the headlight buckets black makes them look a 1000x better. They look more "tougher" looking with them painted.

Re: My 87 Iroc

I like the white buckets. I also got another set of Iroc wheels these were in better shape and I just cleaned them and gave them a quick paint job.



As you can see I also went to the track. That was a disappointment. Now I have to find out why it's so slow, I think it needs injectors.

What do you consider slow? These cars aren't fast in stock form, by any means. By today's standard, they're actually quite turd-ish, there are a number of family sedans on the road that will eat them alive. What did it run at the track?

It ran 14.72 @ 92.34. That is what it went when I first got the car in 1996. It was bone stock then. When I sold the car it ran 14.1x's all the time. Since then the car has had a valve job, got headers and a y pipe, and also a converter. So it should be faster than a 14.7 for sure.

Re: My 87 Iroc

Pretty clean IROC. Instead of painting the headlight pockets, you could also, if you want, throw on some smoked covers. Will balance out with the hood louvers.

Re: My 87 Iroc

The tinted windows look great. I like black buckets too,but it's your car you should build it how you like it.

Looks really good. The tinted windows definitely were a nice improvement.

Re: My 87 Iroc

Thanks guys. The windows were a big improvement, but the I-roc wheels look way better than the 4th gen wheels.
