| //<86TA>\\'s 1986 Pontiac Trans Am | |||
I bought the car locally early in 2000, from the classic little old lady who only drove it to the store and back. While that may be true i found out years later the grandkids got the car on the weekends and beat the snot out of it  , poor baby. It was my first car, it was red and had a "big" motor. After all this time, it has been a great learning experience. It was originally a lg4/700r4 car with less power than you would want to shake a stick at. The car ran for a year and a half, spending every weekend in the garage fixing some little problem, and was finally done in December 23 2001, by a busted quadrajet. Sat for a couple months, then my father and i tore it apart and the project began, 6 years, piles of money, and 3 drivetrains later here it sits.Appearance 4" Fiberglass VFN hood Stock style Fiberglass spoiler Centerline Daggers 18x8 front with 245/40's 18x12 rears with 335/30's BFG KDW rubber Racing stripes on hood Tail stripe with bird Interior New carpet, sail panels, headliner New center Console 91 GTA Black/Grey leather seats 140mph speedo 8k tach Suspension Custom offset LCA's by Spohn UMI Chromoly on-car adj Panhard UMI Upper Panhard Support UMI Crossmember Mount Torque Arm UMI Wonderbar soon UMI A-arms Home-fab 3pt strut tower brace 1 7/16" front sway bar 1" rear sway bar Front Coil-overs 325lbs Rear coil-overs 175lbs Koni Yellow front struts QA1 carrera's out back Alston SFC Brakes Stock Booster LS1 master cylinder C5 zo6 fronts w. drilled/slotted rotors Ls1 rears Earls SS flex lines Stainless Hard Lines CompCams vacuum reserve canister Driveline TKO-600 5 speed Hurst shifter Lakewood blow-proof bellhousing 153 tooth lightweight billet 4340 flywheel Zoom Kevlar clutch 4th gen hydraulic master setup Aluminum slave cylinder 3.5" aluminum driveshaft w/1350 u joints front and rear Moser 9", 3:70's with a Moser aluminum case and tru-trac posi Engine 408 stroker built by T and L Racing Development Late model roller block w/ 2 pc rear main conversion K1 4340 forged crank 4" stroke K1 4340 h-beam rods Mahle forged pistons CompCams CSXR288HR-10 Dart pro1 Aluminum heads 200cc intake 64cc chambers Aluminum roller rockers 6qt moroso pan Edelbrock performer PRM airgap intake AED 4150 carb modified 750, no choke Engine Goodies Remote powersteering reservoir and custom pump, Southwest Speed Dart tall Cast Aluminum valve covers All -AN stainless lines Aftermarket thermostatically controlled engine oil cooler Permacool dual fans, 3000cfm each, one on manual control switch Afco battery tray with hold down clamp Lowered radiator and custom upper support aftermarket power steering cooler MSD Digital e-curve dizzy Mallory 53,000 Coil Moroso bluemax wires Accel Shortie plugs Holley 130 gph mechanical flue pump Edelbrock victor water pump March pulleys and Alt bracket 100amp powdercoated amp alt 3hp small style high torque starter custom 2/0 battery cables Exhaust SLP 1 3/4 shorties and y-pipe Race pipe, no cat Flowmaster 3" system with 80 series muffler Always something to do!
