Getting the GTA out of storage tonight
Yes.
Picked up a new battery. The one in the car now was having some hard start issues when the car was hot, and was getting suspect last year.
For this weekend, I have new 36# injectors to go on the car. And if I can swing the time I'll try to do the entire steering system Tie-rods to pitman arm.
Also have Founders strut mounts to replace the factory 28yr old ones, Del-A-Lum bushings, and new 1/2" extended ball-joints if they are needed when I lower the car.
So many goodies, not enough time. Man I have a ton of crap to go on the car!

U first world problemer!
Worked 3 days that went directly to 8 nights, then 2 nights off and now back on a 12 night stretch......................
Nothing is getting done on anything, although the bank account should get fluffier
Always remember where you started it at and where it is now.

< Remembers to buy new spark plugs since old ones are fouled out from bad injectors. Checks weather, its raining tomorrow.
Also, while driving the car around last weekend I had a chance to push it a bit on an on-ramp. The NT05's were somewhat warm, and the pavement wasn't cold like it has been.
First Reminder. I need a new driver seat with some heavy bolsters. The GTA seats provide zero support.
2nd reminder. NT05's which I thought were worn? They stuck hard much harder than I expected them too. Guess its just been too cold lately to get any grip out of them.

Re: Getting the GTA out of storage tonight
Looks like Fri-Sun is in the clear though, I realized while cleaning mine out that the drivers seat is sagging to the left just enough for it to be annoying to sit in. Do you have a thread with more pics of your GTA?
