Thread: 85 Turbo Trans Am

i just wanted a nice street car that will be nice to cruse in with the t's off and will have some umf when i gas it it will be plenty fast as is lol. its a summer time car and dont want to pay a ton in gas lol

Gotcha, buddy had an 89 TA GTA. Was a fun car to do donuts in and cruise around with the t-tops off. Mileage sucked (tops of 18)

hey 18 to 20 is what i get in my gp now so wont be much different lol. so picked up a set of new taillights from an early 82 ta that fit very different design then what i got now there slanted ive got flat smooth ones but they were 75 for all three and thats normally the price for just one so i got really lucky ill get pics of the new ones tomorrow or thurs for ya texas

Alright you all ready for some pics?!!!

Nope not at all...

ill get the other tail light posted tomorrow and ill get the heads and crank un wrapped when they go to the machine shop but till then thats best you get. The tail lights are normally 75-100 a peice i got all three for 75 thanks to my buddy his dad was crushing his 82 so he pulled his dads tails for me!

ive got to get the crank turned if it cost more then like $200 to get done then ive got one lined up to buy brand new now some may ask why ot just get brand new and i say why spend $200 when i dont need to.
ive also got to get all four corners of the center peice fixed its a minor thing.

Nice ride me and my buddy are building an 87 T/A, were swapping everything into it from a wrecked 89 Turbo Trans Am (TTA)

Looks like a nice project car! I have a 89 gta with a 383 and 78mm turbo

T tops are no good for high HP set ups. they let the body twist like a muther. not a full frame car. uni body.

Yes the 89 TTA was a t-top car most of the 1555 that were made were, we were lucky enough to find an 87 roller that has t-tops as well.

ive found a machine shop to turn the crank inspect it balance it boil the block new freeze pluggs new came bearings and board .030 over and install the crank for $500
