Pics of my new TA

My last thread contained mostly pics of my smashed up camaro, so i though i would make up for the sadness by showing some pics of my new baby.

I'm still trying to get used to driving a bright red car, but it's been a lot of fun

It still sux that the camaro was taken away from me, but havng this car has sort of re-ignighted the thirdgen lover in me and i keep thinking about all the things i wanna do to this car. After having the camaro for 6 years i had pretty much thought of everything i could afford.

Nice looking TA, but I'm biased

Are those the Mr. Mike's leather seats?

That is one of the nicest TAs i have seen yet. I love those wheels on TAs, just keep them on there. What is your big plans for it?

Wow, you guys are good. Those ARE Mr. Mikes seats.

As for my current plans. The car already has headers and full exhaust, but a stock intake. I'll prob use the "how to" from this site and make my own cold air intake instead of paying all that money for the SLP one.
Then I want to stiffen up the body with some sub frame connectors, a STB, and stuff like that.
As for the appearance the stock rubber spoiler is warped and the paint is cracking, so i have plans to get the fiberglass spoiler. Also i would change the tint to regular black instead of that mirror fade it has now.
Other than that just keeping it clean. I love the wheels too and have no plans of changing them anytime soon

You live in plymouth meeting, so do i, i live right off germantown pike, ill be looking for you now.

Did you ever take your camaro, or are you planning on taking your TA to the east norriton shopping center on sundays nights where a bunch of people always bring their muscle cars? I've gone a bunch of times but always park in front of the dunkin donuts because my 91 RS doesnt really fit in

I don't mind at all, we're all brothers here. It was $4500 with 100,000 mi. I still feel like it was a steal. This car was loved and it shows, everything is so clean. I'm being spoiled with things my camaro never had like the t-top bag, original owners manual, fully functioning over-head console and a dashboard without any cracks just to name a few.

Good luck finding a new car. I found this one on autotrader.com, their search options are awesome. I was looking at fourth gens too, but my passion still lies with the third gens i guess. My price range was $4000-6000 so this was more car than i expected to get for less money than i expected to pay... Works for me
