Getting 86 TA 5.0L TPI
Yes, I went and checked out that TA again today with my dad, drove it around some more, and wow that thing can move. But I did notice that It needs some new lines, like the gas line needs to be replaced, that will be cheap and needs a new power sterring line, which is also realy cheap. I talked him down to $625 w/ me using my owns rims and tires, since I got the 15inch Firebird rims. He had twp xtra doors,, but they are manual so not sure if I'll take them since the car is power windows. He wants $50 per door which is ok, but one door has some bondo and is a little dented. So the cars going to need new PS lines, a fuel line($45 for lines), new rear quarter panels ($110 each), new doors ($50 each), TA Nose piece ($75 which he can get) and a good sanding with a good cleaning. I noticed the engine had an ACCEL supercoil with 8mm wires. I plan on working on this car over the summer. The TA gots a rebuilt auto tranny that shifts so smoothly, car moves so fast too. The cars also going to eventually need a few interior stuff too. But I think I may put in a 4th gen interior, and needs new headline which is cheap too. I figure After about $500 and then I'll get that paint job the car will be perfect. I'm probly get some headers for it, which I can get for $100, and I'm thinking about putting a 4th gen spoilier and RAII hood which would look sweet since the car is grey also.
Well heres the specs on the car:
120K miles
5.0TPI first year for them
sivler
145mph dash
rebuilt 700r4 auto
buying for $625

My Bad guys, 85 huh wow. SO the cam is small or what. Also If I put on a RAII hood I wanan make it functional, and if I make a air box how do I use the MAF sensor with that type of setup since I wouldn't have enough room.

Sweet. I am running gas lines now. $17 I buy the line and flare them myself(a piece canadian).
Man some day I will have a V-8 car. But Insurance and gas is too out of reach for that yet.
