thought I give a little update. I havent done as much as I would have like too. Work and family seems to consume most of my time these days. Things are starting to get back to normal. I was forced to get rid of the Iroc, the Formula is in storage along with some of my parts and tools. On an up side I have been acquiring parts needed and even managed to put some of them together. Hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks I have the Formula in the garage and getting the old motor out and the new motor in.

 

You sold the IROC eh? I never saw it. Did you get a fair price on it?

 

Good luck! Hope it turns out to be beautiful!

 

Nope, and Nope

 

nope you didnt sell and nope you didnt get a good price. but the car is gone..I GOTCHA!

 

Thats good news Terrell. Keep on trucking homie. Maybe you can make it to our future GTG cruise that should be coming up in july...

 

Man. We gotta start thinking about where we are going to cruise too!

 

Good to see an update.

Did you sell all your IROC->4th gen conv parts? Forgot all that you had. I see Bully jumped on those rims, haha.

 

Hope all is well bro, family bs is just that, bs, don't let it drag you down.

Sorry to hear about the White Unicorn, I remember her well

 

I still have most of the parts. The rearend, rear control arms, and panhard bar are the only things that was on the car.


Think I'll have to get another Camaro, I need a 4 wheel daily driver anyway

Iroc back when it was still on the road

 

Ohhh yeah I did see that one before..thanks for posting again tho man

 

Wish I could have seen it. Looks nice.

 

Here's some lost treasure shots from a late 2004 parking lot GTG.

I believe that's Terrell next to my silver bullet.

Ah, the good 'ol days of late night cruising.

 

DAAAAAANNNNG look at all them turdgens!

 

whos red car is that?

 

I did. I have been waiting for a set to come up... I already know how I am going to have them painted and such...

Lets see some current pictures of the Formy... I have heard much about both of them, but never got to see either one. What was your deciding factor of sticking with the formula? I know you have a poll setup for them.

Did the Iroc go to someone you know closely or family?

 

It isn't yours??

 

He's being facetious. It's Travis' old RS, pre-crash.

I'm guessing because the Formula actually moved in the past 5 years!

Not sure why I'm parked backwards. Whatta dork. Still sportin' the factory gold crosslaces ftw!

 

I know I was like 99% sure it was traviz car

 

thats actually Travis' Iroc.

Didnt really "pick" that Formula, it just happen to have wheels and a front suspension so it was really easy to move. No new pics, been garaged for the last 3 years.

 

Brought the Formula home today, gonna start working on it tomorrow.

you can see the short block bagged up in the corner

 

iroc duh, see the hood and stripes.

 

Are those 2006 tags?

 

only the most observant posters here on thirdgen. But 2012 tags are the same color so its possible it could be '12 tags

 

2007 tags. I got the car in early 07, killed it in early 08. Been in a garage since.

 

Get crackin buddy. Need more birds in the mix with all these Camaros.

 

didnt get much done today. Had some running around to do, then the heat got to me.
Think im gonna buy a nice big fan tomorrow

 

For those of us who weren't around when this thing was running, can we get a brief background on the car please? How, when did u acquire it, events leading up to the long "nap"... What ur new plan is... I'd like to follow your story a little better.

On a side note, what are u gonna do with the block that's coming out?

 

im all for that information

It took as long as it has because I started buying things for my bike. Formula was garaged across town, out of sight out of mind.

oh and the new plan.
I have
forged piston/rods/crank
paitriot performance vortec heads
comp xfi268 cam
edelbrock single plane EFI manifold + elbow
LSx 90mm TB
749 ECM + 2 bar MAP

Looks like the P600B is gonna be to small so I've been looking into turbo's


not sure what Im gonna do with the old LB9

 

thanks for posting that up Terrell. Its kind of weird to look at those old threads and not see my name posting something on them well I did post on one of them...but now threads rarely get past me haha

 

You sir, need a life, yes

Remember TraviZ is our #1 spammer still hah

 

Yup if im out and about I spend $$$ trying to save up money so being home is where I stay. haha. I gotta dodge charger I need to start buying stuff for here

 

Yo.. that's crazy man. I.feel for ur situation... But its a new day bro. Let's turn some wrenches. If u want some help, holla. I'm down to come help.

PS... Wanna sell me the plenum, tb, and fuel rail?

 

I have some days off here and there now big T, let me know if you want a hand.

 

Well Im off july 25 thru August 1. I'll be at Thunder Hill july 30-31 doing a trackday on the 600. So if you guys wanna come over during that week just let me know.

 

Shot me an offer I cant refuse. I was gonna list the whole intake(manifold to plenum) for $250 obo. only think Im keeping is the IAT.

 

lookin good terrell, like i told you let me know when you want help im there btw i have an open schedule currently i am not working any more

 

Are you really ditching the P600B now, or you mean later? (what size pulleys did you have?) Curious on why it's too small with that setup (i.e. goals with this?)

Still going to do the '749 if you go turbo? Might want to go 3-bar if you have lofty boost goals, no?

I'd be down to help a weekend morning with the tear down.

 

Not ditching it yet, but from doing the math I may only get 10 psi max. Still going with the 749, 2 bar should be good up to 29 psi right? Think I have a 3.5 and 3.25 pulley but I'd have to look and see.

 

Too bad your pulleys aren't the same as mine I don't think. I'll want to upgrade to a 3.4 eventually. I'd love to be at 10psi on my stock block!

I was under the impression that a 2 bar reads 1 bar vacuum and 1 bar boost=14.7 PSI. If you wanted over that, a 3 bar is necessary, no?

If you were looking at MSD units that say 29psi, that's just a range, but I think they advertise up to 20 pounds of boost, not sure how that works or if model specific.

 

Is that a Hyabusa I spy with y big eyes?

 

Is that how it works, I wasn't sure.
That it is, 06 LE

 

Looking for something like an update here..........

 

The nor cal section has been a little boring lately hasnt it John? You should start your official progress made thread!

 

Been thinkin bout soon that. Will get on it soon.
