Blast from the past

I found some old vids of when i was doing the LS1 swap into my car 4 years or so ago. Man a lot has changed since then. well maybe not really but it was cool to see where i am now with the car

first attempt to crank the car lol

Now with it running with open headers

Re: Blast from the past

To all my 3rd gen lovers i have wrecked my 88 iroc-z due to a steering problem that hurdled me off a cliff 70 ft down upside down and YES, im still alive! Those cars dont look sturdy but *** it saved my life! Those things are made well! A tie rod or steering problem caused it to go straight instead of left! Im lucky. I should have died if it wasnt for my camaro or was it something else??? **** mustangs! Camaro lover for life!!!! Anybody know of a third gen for sale in the nor-cal area??? Iroc-dev.

When did you buy it Joey, 4 years ago? Definitely a lot of work in just that time.

Same year as when I picked up the GTA. Times flies!

You can celebrate your LS1 5 year anniversary with some headers/cam.
