IROC-Z project

[wowdino]

lol i love project cars

Person A: "check out all this sweet new stuff I installed on my car"

Person B: "that's really cool"

Person A: "yep just spent another 500 on a radio"

Person B: "cool does it run"

Person A: "nope"

Person B: "..........."

[sabbie7]

@wowdino well...you gotta expect that kind of thing for a bit but not long term. She runs great.

[sabbie7]

@wowdino it runs good

[sabbie7]

@youcockbag man, this has been a long term project and I've thankfully not kept track of all the money I've put into it. I would probably run for the hills. Yep, all of the stuff I replaced is with new parts. I bought the car back in 94 for 10k, I've put at least 14k into it. THat's why people say ...you'll never get back what you put into it. You want to turn you v6 camaro into an iroc.. hmm, is it is good shape? are you in a position to buy an IROC? It will most likely be less expensive

lol I wrecked mine in the rain. Good cars till it rains or snows haha.



[DMosPx]

[sabbie7]

[sabbie7]

@loser6574 nope, it's completely stock.

[DGKall2010]

that is bad ass man! i got a 502 69 velle right now but i really want one of these for a daily driver. they look so good, and there is a lot of possibilities to do to them

[sabbie7]

@DGKall2010

Thanks! Yeah, they are great when it doesn't rain or snow especially. I would look down south or out west. good luck!

[sabbie7]

@aqualordx93 there are a few sites our there, but I would really recommend that you look on ebay for a better deal.

[81TransAmJunkie]

[sabbie7]

Man Nice Ride It's Looks Beautiful I Love Your Interior How Much Did It Cost You To Get Da Whole Inside Done Cause I Want To Do Dat In My 82 Z28

[sabbie7]

Hey man, thanks. Actually, that's the stock interior.. i didn't do anything on the interior yet. The only thing i plan to do is a some pillar gauges after the ATI supercharger.

[650daboss]

Dam It Looks Beautiful Mine Looks Like Crap So Around How Much Money Have You Put In Da Car Already

[sabbie7]

Thanks so much. ehhh, i hate to think about how much I've put into it. Too much! I know that doesn't help.

[maineboy32]

Beautiful!! I have an 85 I am going to restore. Can you tell me, did you have the car sandblasted? Or was the traditional sanding method? It looks flawless.

[sabbie7]

I didn't do any sand blasting, but i spent a ton of time scraping off all the Rusty Jones anti-rust treatment. I think it was the rusty jones that kept the car from rusting. so either way, i had a ton of scraping and then sanding. Thanks! I've been taking my time with it. The engine is back in and I should be ready to start it soon.

[dindints]

where did you get the hotckiss kit? n how much??

i cant seem to find one for my 89

not even the site....unless im searching the wrong area..

thanks in advanced!

[sabbie7]

I got the kit directly from Hotchkiss directly

[sabbie7]

holy directly

[Irocz385]

You definately have to post a new vid once the mill is in!! I'll be posting some of my Iroc soon as well, I've been installing an STS turbo, should be ready by the end of the month! ;)

[8thman420]

hell yea doin it right. goodlookin car man cant wait to see what itl turn out like. i got an 86 iroc z ill get some videos soon of it on my page

[blown89z]

man it looks great!! I'm also rebuilding an Iroc (ck it out) If it turn out close to what yours is I'm a happy man! good job.

[sabbie7]

Thanks so much for the postive feedback. money has been a little lacking, so it slowed the project, but i'm going to work on it right now, as a matter of fact. Just finished getting my intake and plenum ceramic coated.  getting ready to put the engine in. I'll check out yours

[weiandblower]

You better race that machine. And post a video.

[sabbie7]

absolutely, thanks for the comment.

[sabbie7]

ha, good call man. Yes, ATI supercharger is in the build plans. I'll take a look at your Iroc.

[Irocz385]

Cool, I'm building a 283 right now for my 75 Monza! If you take a look at my channel, theres vids of it and my Iroc. Your combo should be very snapy, I asume your keepin it a stick car. Does your cam choice mean there may be a hair drier in the cars future?

[Irocz385]

Nice looking car so far! What kind of mill is going to fill that shiny enginebay?

[sabbie7]

Thanks. Believe it or not, i'm actually building up the 305 TPI. I want to see what it'll do. comp cams 510 / 500 @ 50 210/220 dur w/ 114 lsa. It's a blower cam really. roller rockers, zz4 heads, as&m runners, etc etc...  we'll see how it turns out.
