Re: Iowa? Anyone?
It's been a couple of years since I last went to the drags in humbolt, more into the dirt racin, but hopefully I'll be able to take my 67 gto clone w/462 and run it a few times next year.

Re: Iowa? Anyone?
I am in Hull, which is a small town in the northwest corner of the state. I am looking for a 91-92 v8 camaro. I had a 91 z28 in high school and would love to find another. I had found a 92 rs by cedar rapids but the guy just raised the price $1700!! That was a first for me, usually the price goes down, not up! Oh well, I have money burning a hole in my pocket and nothing to buy!

Re: Iowa? Anyone?
So I am finally part the third gen group. I just traded my 94 z28 for an 89 iroc t top t5 with built l98 carb. It is a bit rough with some rust but with time it will be awesome. Btw I'm in Ames.

Re: Iowa? Anyone?
haha thats pretty funny. Ya it was dieing on me. Turned out to be the battery which I figured but it wouldn't stay charged. They had to charge it to test it then the battery wouldn't work because I have top mount cables and it is supposed to be side. We were going to change the ends but they were too small for the wires. So I had to pay a bit more for a different battery but whatever. I wanted an optima but I didnt feel like spending 160. I had one in my old camaro wish I would have swapped them out lol.

Yo, currently in the west end of west des moines, soon to move to near the east end.
Don't mean to jack this thread but, is the dude on 39th with the red camaro on TGO.
If you are:
1. Nice car
2. Sorry if my repeated burnouts in the valley high school parking lot where bothering you, some peeps in your driveway where staring at me when I left. So I figured I might have bothered you.

Re: Iowa? Anyone?
I rarely drive it cause the roads in palo alto county suck!!!,Its a very stiff ride with all the suspention mods.I cant stand it when people ride with me and slam my doors,they close so easy...I dont drive it cause i love it to much,its kinda stressful,even parking at the grocerie store I worry about door dings n such,semis kick up rocks when driving,its like torture on it to drive in iowa,shitty place for a sports car. Id like to get 8000. seeings how i got around 12,000 into it,but Id take 7500.

Re: Iowa? Anyone?
Thats a little to rich for me but not for that car, it looks like its worth every penny. I know exactly what you are talking about when people ride with you. All you want to do is take care of your car and most people really dont give a $#!^. When you take it places to show it off you get some jealous ***** who just has to key it or slam his door into it. I feel your pain.

Re: Iowa? Anyone?
89 Iroc. Red. Hmm, gotta get exhaust on it, its a bit loud running open headers. HEHE Gonna do a power window conversion, so at the moment it doesn't have door panels. Other than that, its mostly done...well, as done as a project can be. I frequent a lot of shows in davenport during the summer, usually all the ones at Northpark.
