And you can also visit my very old and not updated website, you find it in the bottom of this answer.

Since i´m at work now i don´t have all the links to the best places but i think you find the most info on the website 89tta.com

Maybe i can post more links when i´m home after the race toninght?

Maybe $15.000????
$10.000????

Hard to tell since many sellers are asking very diffrent prices on these rare machines, if you find the right seller you can get a fair price on it.

Good luck!

With 80k miles, I wouldn't expect to pay any more than $9k-$10k if in excellent condition for that many miles. For $15k you should be able to find a near mint one with less than 30k on it if you look hard enough. I got mine with 5k miles for less than $16k last year!
Pics in my sig below.

NICE- it could be an easy sleeper.

So any normal chump with a civic or corrolla wouldnt know what hit im when the boost came up and bit him in the @ss. After you tell him it is a six cylinder..... Do they make it with a five speed or only the automatic??

Just an Auto, They are way faster than sticks. Some people have converted and went back.

It is just i prefer a manual over auto.

Just for the feel of the drive. Speaking of which- I just talked to a guy that said he has a tta in the back of his shop with a blown rear. Said he would let it go for cheap. Gonna go check it out tonight.

manual tranny + GN engine = SLOW.

If you want a manual car, you can get a nice used LT1 or LS1.
