Brand new SLP T-ram w/ 58mm throttle body
no harhaware. never ran, was on display at summit racing, this is the last one in captivity!
been sitting in storage for way too long, time to find a good home. Not too many of these around anymore.

$ 1600.00

 

Hey, I am very interested in this. What parts come with it? Does it come with the automatic tranny kickdown backet? if it does, I'm going to buy. Do you have pictures?

 

Post up the pics!! With only one post to your credit, it might be a good start.

 

definitely need to see pics of this

 

Think about it guys.......

 

RAD5: Think about what exactly? Its an intake, not the Holy Grail!
DV8: HMMMM???? whats that supposed to mean? Stop by with $1600.00
J&H: sorry - no bracket or hardware.

I'll take and post some picts tonight after work.
So do I have to hold up todays newpaper with the intake or what, you bunch of non-believers!! You guys crack me up.
As a new member here, I had to wait a month or two before they would let me post on the for sale forum. But I promise you guys this - Its sittin in my garage and the first guy with $1600 can take it.

pics coming right up..........

 

Holy Grails are a dime a dozen! Now an unused T-ram...that's the stuff of legends. Personally, before I believe you own this alleged T-ram, I want to stick my fingers in the wounds...er...ports.

BBWAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

you guys are makin' me think I aint asking enough for it!

Geez, its just the manifold, not the whole freaking firehawk!

If I can ever get out of this office, you guys will get your picts!
----------
Hey DV8, I'll even throw in a few pics of my 310 R for S***s and gigles. (I see your a&p)

 

I'm not saying he doesn't have it but they are extremely rare and collectable, which will be the reason he can get his asking price. I can't afford it, but would grab this thing if I weren't buying a house.

 

I've been talking to him for awhile. He has it. I want it but I have a few things I need to buy for my house and garage first. He can't wait forever for me.
(btw the girls are flying to Ohio this time we aren't driving out or Id have it !!!!!!!!!!!)
Good luck with the sale.

PS I just saw your last PM, dang popup blockers!!!

 

If you have an hour read through this Drama.... and then tell me some deals just seem to good to be true..

That S**T happened right here on this board.. E-bay isnt much better I jsut got scammed by some A** in South Carolina. Anybody here near Hilton Head??

Sorry to rant Good luck!!! seems like you do have some interest...

 

That sux.
I was (and maybe still am) going to drive 2 OHIO to look at it and then buy it so I'm pretty sure he has it.

 

Wow, that stinks - especially when a couple a-holes ruin a good thing.

Well, as promised, heres the picts.

 

Is that the throttle body that comes with it?

 

And some more.......
had to throw in the pic of the big plane - scratch built, cessna 310 R, 100" long 10' wingspan, twin 38 cc 2cycle gas engines (naturally aspirated) swinging 18" props, pnumatic retracts, brakes, gear doors, nav lights.....45 lbs wet.

 

yep, it all came from summit just like you see it, it was the display unit, truely the last one because I bought it 2-3 years after firehawk hype died down.

 

C'mon Tony, you know you want this! Why resist? get in the car and drive over! You know you got first dibbs.

 

What is so special about this part? I've never heard of it before.

 

I think you answered your own question

In all seriousness, that intake only came on 91-92 SLP Firehawks (25 very rare, badass Firebirds; google them if you care to learn). But apparently there was a time you could buy these direct from SLP or through other vendors. Apparently it's good for 45 peak hp over a stock TPI manifold.

 

awesome deal for a sweet intake. Ive been thinking of unloading mine since I'll never use it. more of holding onto a piece of history though. Kinda the same with my old 25th Anniv. Deck lid emblem thats been fething a good amount of $ latley too.

anyways Goodluck on the sale !! and nice 310 build up. got more info pic's on it somewhere?

 

Where are you located? If you're close enough, I may consider taking a drive down to pick it up.

 

I have a build thread for the 310 on rcuniverse, lots of pictures, heres the link:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=7562710

I know what you mean about nostalgia, but we have to draw the line somewhere with our expensive hobbies. i have so many unfinished projects, and so little free time these days, so a little damage controll is in order.

 

J&H: I'm in Tallmadge, Ohio - right down the street from summit racing.
6 1/2 hour drive from NYC.

 

Cool. I had heard of Firehawks before. I think they had to be custom ordered and only 23 of the 25 were ever made if I'm not mistaken. 45 peak hp is damn nice too. They should've just put these intakes on all of them.

 

you almost got that right : only 25 of 27 were made. two orders were canceled so those cars were never built.

 

Ok, just to check, it also does not come with the T-RAM specific thermostat housing, and fuel pressure regulator either right? Just the manifold itself and the bolts that hold it together?

 

Correct, just the manifold itself. Your going to need a few bolts also. (a few are missing) but easy to match up.

 

..

 

I do I do !! let me get my money printer working again !!
I'm trying to swing it..

 

F2g Check your PM please.

 

This is a great deal, there was one on ebay a couple weeks ago. buy it now was over $2500. minus the T body!

 

its back on ebay i guess, $2500. F2G-1 has a good price.

 

You have a PM. I want it.

 

she's still here waiting.........

 

Let's just say I actually wanted to run this instead of putting it on display, what would I need besides the missing bolts? Are the other parts (T-stat, FPR, fuel-rails, etc?) readily availible to make this work? I was thinking about a FIRST manifold or the BBK (if it ever comes out), but this is intriguing... It would be going on a 1991 Formula 350 if that makes a difference.

 

come on guys. If I still had a tpi eng. I would be on this one like stink on well.....


I don't think the price is cheap or high it's just right. go pick it up befor some tool drills it and paints it like the rest you see for sale.


much longer and I might just buy it so I can look at it and touch it (with gloves on)


I jumped on the slp dual cold air... maybe I will to match it hummmmm

 

The t-ram is still up for grabs.............

who wants to build a bad *** Firehawk? anyone?..... anyone?........Bueller?......Bueller?.........

 

Missing bolts?

If they are easy to match up, why dont you do it? Then it would be more complete, as it is now, its not, esp for $1600.

peace
Hog

 

Are you serious?

Tell you what, fork over 1600.00 and I'll get the bolts.

 

Very kool piece! Unfortunately it's missing the water filler neck and that's the impossible piece to find. From what I understand there's nothing remotely close that will work for the filler neck. Here are a couple pics of one I have. I'd like to have another for the right price!

FWIW I understand there were between 100 and 150 T-Rams built (mostly in preparation for the hopefull run of 250 Firehawk cars vs 25 actual cars.) SLP shipped a bunch to Summitt to sale and it took 'em a while to get rid of them all. There are still several NOS units laying around as they were cumbersome and hard to find parts for even when new.

 

"I'd like to have another for the right price!"


Well then, you should buy this one for 1600.00 - thats the right price.

I cant imagine that a crafty person couldnt modify an off the shelf T stat housing, or even make a one out of a block of alum.

 

I see this hasn't moved at all, and I'm guessing still has the dust on it from when you put it away before......

$1000 in hand if interested, Santa's knocking on the door and needs some cash so he can buy your kids some toys.....................

 

Well fellas, sorry bout your luck, the t-ram found a new home.....atop a GTA in NY.
Funny, didnt have to budge on the price, I guess he knew what he was gettin.
Oh well, It'll only be um.....25 years, before another 'new' t-ram surfaces again.......but theres always the painted and drilled ones on flea-bay.
Bwah ha ha ha...

 

Well good for you.
I seriously don't think it was the price as much as it was the average working class (most of the members here, including me) having $1600.00 to spend on it. JMO
I'm glad you got your asking price, and someone got something they truely wanted. Seems to be a win/win deal which is probably more rare than a T ram these days.

 

I am glad you got your price, however, I could care less what the intake looks like, as long as it performs. I know my heavily modded HSR Intake, and my new single plane efi will perform quite well. all of these parts and intakes costed well under a 1000.00, for the pair. 2 each his own

 

Thats right, 2 each their own. So next time you go to the part store and they hand you a part that looks like crud (drilled on, cut on, repainted 3 times, ported with a rasp, go a head and slap that baby on...

And the last two posters are missing the point of my post
#43.
I'm not an a-hole that likes to gloat or say 'I told you so', but some sarcasm is in order. This whole thread is in the 'for sale' catagory, for a rare and collectable part. This isnt an opinion pole. Low ball offers made publicly? come-on.
All the negative comments from the peanut gallery- Everythying from 'its incomplete - so you should give it away" to "it doesnt exist, its a scam" to "mines better for half the price"
wow.
thanks for the help.
