I'm on the big island! Wondering if there are any other big islanders with thirdgens on here. Setup a cruise or something, all I see are toyotas and Hondas. Need some Chevys!

 

I got a 3rd gen,,,I agree lots of toys and Hondas

 

also on big island

 

Nice! Hilo side?

 

yeah hilo side . actually out of puna but yeah on the help side

 

sorry auto correct is not my friend when posting... I ment hilo not help

 

Cool, what's your car? Is it a dd?

 

yeah its a dd. my first 3rd gen. just got it recently.

 

Nice man! I live puna side as well, drive my car everyday, don't really see anybody though, is it a z28?

 

according to the paper work yeah its a z28. I Havnt really got to dig into the meat of the car cypher through the codes to see exactly what package was added into the g92 setup.

 

Nice nice, is yours the blue one?

 

I'm the guy in the black rs who probably waves at you lol

 

I've seen the blue one by panewa on the way to work. mines is black with the silver stripe going down the middle

 

Oh the nice one! Haha mines not nice, that blue iroc behind puainako is nice. I never get to Shaka to you yet lol

 

nah all 3rd gens have potential.. one of the main reasons is most of us own it out right... and I been looking what people been doing with theirs and I'm impressed what can be done with a little money here and their invested into it. I love the body style , simple paint job will do wonders on these

 

I would love to see a ls1 motor with a t56 6 speed in mines.. and still keep it a dd

 

And it's entirely possible, seeing as a stock ls1 will run low 13s in a thirdgen, it's just about the price, and especially down here even finding an ls1! Mines is a budget build haha, I put a different motor in my car already, but I want to build it a little more, and some paint would be nice

 

I was thinking maybe throw a little time into it every month and see how it grows on me. maybe at the end of the year make the big jump and do an engine swap

 

You have the 5.0 right? Let me know how it comes out a little built, I'd like to see the results, I have one in my garage but I'm unsure what to do with it! Haha I want to build it but don't know if it would respond well to simple mods like cam and heads

 

I always see your car at the mall man!

 

yeah I'm a instructor/super for plaza safety and prevention program.

 

Nice, my fiancé works at hilo Hattie, so I get to admire your car all the time lol. My car is being body worked right now, hopefully we can do a cruise or something when it's nicer.

 

sounds like a plan. decided to turn this car into a hobby since no note on it. never had time to work on cars or didn't want to because of voiding warrenty . no note or fear of voiding warranty means I can rip this car apart with little fear lol

 

That sounds like fun, if you ever need it im here to help, I love these cars haha

 

been reading and checking out what people do to these cars. tons of affordable things you can donif you make time and have the patience. this car will be the first car I'm actually gonna invest my time into.

 

Sounds like a good plan, what kinda mods u planning to do?

 

mod wise I'm trying to build a dd/sleeper. something with power on hand but preserving its original look. I think these cars are beautiful. when old people see it they know what it is and admire it when younger generation see it they respect it even though they aint famailer with it the sound of a V8 exhaust note is beast and different then their 4 cylinder import exhaust note

 

mod wise looking down the road hmmmmm. at least 350+ stroker type motor most common 383 camed roller/rockers with ram air style cowel hood with ram air induction type method instead of cold air intake with t56 6speed transmission Hurst short shift T handle shifter stronger (posi) axle/gears 3.73 (3.42 currently) . my list goes on and on. but to sum it up . this car will be my first hobby type vehicle and I'm trying to learn as much as possible because I enjoy it. my idea build is a dd 13 sec 1/4 mi 383 stroker with bolt ons only hopefully 20 mi per gallon I know wishful thinking unless its an ls1 motor , stock look

 

but currently I'm looking for gauge cluster alternative . my speedo and tack just went out and my fuel gauge is off by 1/4 . scheduling in 2 weeks tune up and oil change. not sure though I might attempt changing rotor cap plugs and spark/injectors myself.

 

I just picked up the blue iroc that was sitting behind puainako, I changed injectors and stuff, lmk if u need some help

 

Nice looking Camaro..I remember seeing that Camaro back their..I think same year as mine

 

It's an 89 iroc, yours is a 92 z28 yeah? I'm looking for a 350 block to build for it

 

Mines is a 91 Z28 w/G92 code/package. How did you find out was for sale?. From the road the car look like it was in good condition, is it running?

 

It has some fading from the sun, I just knocked on the door and they said it didn't run, I offered cash for it and they said ok. It had a frozen water pump so I took it off and put a different size belt and drove it home. It needs a tune up and I have to register it
