SFC's are my next suspension mod...

Here's a link to my CarDomain page. Its pretty basic, but you can see a few shots I took while my car was in the garage. I'll get more pics eventually.

Thanks. If you noticed, there are not any GTA badges on the fender or anything on the sail panels. I like the clean, understated look on those cars.

Blacksunshine, definately nice looking gta!!! I still love the metal gta badges though

88GTA, amazing work on the car!!! Looks great especially with those prostars

Blacksunshine, do you have any shots of the car from further away?

Thanks for the compliments. I like the badges also, but they were removed during a botched paint job and I liked the way the smooth fenders looked. I've toyed with the idea of mounting them down on the GFX in front of the rear wheels reminiscent of the early GTOs.

I have some, but they aren't digital. I'll have to scan them soon.

I think that might look pretty sweet!!! It depends on which emblem u decide b/c of the emblem curve

T/A in great condition!!!

Well you like my GTA'S? hahahaa But yeah this is my 1987 GTA Trans Am

who says imports and american muscle don't get along??? I was at my friends house and he's gotta 02 wrx in the works and i took some pics of our cars with my phone so its not the best quality, but you get the idea

love red and black trans ams!

Sweet pics, the only thing that is different is no quad exhaust tips???? Come to think of it did they come with that?????

I think the turbo ta was the only 3rd gen to get those kinda tips, I could be wrong though.

I found an older picture of my car from farther away. Although it is a few years old, the car looks the same. Its the first one on my Cardomain page.

This will be me soon...t/a garaged while i buy a subaru...the t/a looks good from pics, so who wins the races???????

Nice shot! Wish I had thought to do that at my local Pontiac dealership.

figured i would post up some of my old bird...






i ended up selling this car and hate myself for it. my friend used to see it all the time. i ended up talking to him and he said he hasent seen it around in a while. Really sucks because after i sold it the kid never took care of it. ive been keeping an eye out around here for a formy the same color so i can recreate my ol bird.

^definately nice lookin formy and great choice on hood decal

i like the trim around the guages. did you buy those, or make them?

The trim rings are great aren't they! Mine were custom made by a TGO member, probably the same ones he has^.

heres my formula before and after, also lovin all the red and black t/as on here , lookin real clean

kcid_n_ysup69, what size are your wheels?? Car looks good. Just need to put the wing back on!

haha I've got the same ones!!!!

New sig. Maks has hounded me a couple times because I haven't changed my old signature from before I had the car painted. There you go man! This was at the school track, thought it looked cool with it partially in the light, and as I was making my 100th lap, had my girl take the picture with her phone.

Transmetal is right, I got 'em off TGO a couple years ago. Keep your eyes open on the classified forums. They pop up for sale every now and then. Expect to pay $100-150 for 'em. I love they way they make the dash look. Completely changes the entire appearance of the dash and it takes all of thirty seconds to accomplish.

I finally took a few pics outside yesterday.

thanks charcoal i havnt painted the wing yet but itll be on there soon, front wheels are 16x8, rear are 17x9.5 w 4 in backspace...if i had a 4 gen rear id wanna get another in. of backspace. i like how the ramair hood looks on your style bumper as its more curvier

charcoal about time man!!! Have to admit i always laughed at the quote underneath lol nice pic btw

I was hoping to hear more info on those gauges too never seen em on classifieds and i search there regularly

When he posted that, I just had to quote it. Thanks.

You're right, it is about time!

yeah im going to keep an eye out for those. they do change the whole look of the interior. GM should have done that from the factory.

Middle of December, its 70 degrees and I washed, waxed and conditioned the interior. Life is good

I wish it was 70 at my house in the middle of december....but it decides to be 15 degrees out and my car in the garage...its a depressing time but the car looks reaaaaaal good

I was wondering when you were going to chime in. Still daily driving the Bird?? Not me! Like I said I would, I purchased a Geo. $650/4cyl/5-speed. Calculated my first tank the other day, 52.3MPG!!! That's over double what I was getting in the Bird(even with a V6.) Also it doesn't take THAT long to get up to speed getting on the highway. I'm saving $40/month in insurance. All this money will be going into the Bird.

use to have that weather ....it sucks havin the t/a parked!!! Anyways nice shot of the gta, shinnier with every clean man

Of course id chime in eventually. Hell no im not DDing it. I got my gtp fixed and am driving that. I havent even looked at the bird since thanksgiving. Still for sale!

That's unfortunate. Sounds to me as though you've given up completely on 3rd gens. Once you've sold yours and purchased a GTO you won't want to switch back. I've driven a GTO before. Lots of fun.
Well I've driven several places thus far and feel soooo much better I have a Metro as a daily because I don't care if someone backs into it. Was always worried about that with my Bird.

double post

Feel lucky that you have a garage to put your TA in, I got my formula sitting out in the snow lol. I want to atleast put a tarp over it, but it's too much of a pain cuz its my daily driver. When I was 17 and buying my first car the last thing on my mind was Pittsburgh winters. Now the back of the trunk is loaded with over 100lbs of gravel and I got the big studded tires on it.

I posted pics of my car way back when, but I get an e-mail every time there is a new post on the thread so I've stayed updated. Everyones cars here look great! It's amazing how many firebirds on here almost look new.

@ Orinackra
I've seen your bird on craigslist a few times, can't believe nobody has bought it yet.

@punzak9- I'm probably asking too much for the condition it's in. Thanks though. I really don't know, I have only even had one call about it, a guy was trying to diagnose the emissions stuff. I tried telling him that I knew what was wrong, I just wanted to sell it, but I don't think he was interested. For now it's just sitting in the garage, and it's going to stay there until I have something worthwhile to replace it with.
Btw, what part of Pittsburgh are you from?

@Charcoal- I don't know man. I really don't. I guess I'm just tired of all the nickel and dime stuff. I hate the engine, the rattles and squeaks, just all of it. I want something new. The car needs so much work to get to where I would be satisfied. If it was in the shape of say, Iansane's car, or TPITerr's, or Mike's it'd be a different story. I made the decision to save up for the GTO, but it's gonna be hard to sell the bird. I wish I could have both, but there's just no way. If I went back to 3 cars again, my gf would probably just leave. I wouldn't say that I've given up on thirdgens, just given up for now. If/when I sell my bird, I'll probably want another one. Maybe after the GTO is paid off. It's sad either way.

@Orinackra
Im in the North Hills, right by the high school actually. There are a few other thirdgens over here, but I never see them at the car crusises. And I know exactly how you feel about you car. It sounds like are birds are pretty much in the same condition, and sometimes I hate driving it. I always talk about how I want to get rid of it and upgrade to a 2000's mustang or something, but then there are other times where I love my car and want to hold on to it and fix it up as much as possible. I guess after dealing with all kinds of little annoying problems year after year it gets tiring.

orinakra, hey man, u know these cars have their goods and bads compared to new cars (computers,sensors,motor mounts,etc)....if ur upset ur not selin it yet, dont worry someone will ****** it away as soon as this snow clears up, peoples bank accounts are replenished from the holidays, and people have extra time in the summer to spend on cars....but dont let it bring u down, as with all birds and maros, these will have there value as time goes on....really nothing is hurting it to sit other than u may need the cash for a down payment (obviously give it a start up now and then)...aside from that u have a nice peice of history sitting next to you that i promise u will miss even though u may not think so...anyways good luck with it man...ill pm u visiting pitt next week

sounds good Mike. Just hopefully not Thursday! ( i have other plans, they have to do with beer, the Pens, and the Caps.)

^thurdsday it is lol ill PM u

doh! lol
