    My 198K mile TTA - Pics

    Excellent condition. I have seen cars with 70-80 thousand miles not look as good. If the transmission was rebuilt...the blue sticker might have been removed... I would recommend cleaning out your intercooler and checking the Turbo oil line for coking. Either then that..the normal spring...

    Brake Job on TTA

    Guys Is there anything that I need to know about changing the brakes on the TTA (1LE)? I took off the rear wheel and noticed that they are very different then my other cars. How do I remove the caliper from the rotor... is there a bolt that I need to unscrew. The brakes on my other vehicles...

    Synthetic or conventional motor oil for TTA's?

    Jeff Beitzel told me himself that all TTAs left PAS with Mobil-1 fillup.

    Got rear ended and hit 3 times today and nobody stopped

    Wicked... good to hear that your okay. I myself got clipped deliberately by a guy in his raised F150. I chased that ****er and called in his plate and STILL the COPS did nothing. They could care less. It would be nice for once that they did their ****ing jobs.. hit and run is a felony per...

    2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

    Who care's which is faster "stock"... STIs and most of the imports these days are "lame" looking. I wouldn't get caught dead in one. I'll stick to my muscle cars. ;)

    Rougher idle when installing stock plugs

    Actually I don't have a scan tool. The car is 100% stock. The reason that I installed the original chip was that that I was getting obvious detonation at WOT @ 16.5 lbs with the race chip. The 91 octane in my neck of the woods sucks. With the stock chip the car runs better at WOT and idles...

    Rougher idle when installing stock plugs

    This is a weird one... My TTA came with the GN plugs installed R44LTS instead of the correct (for TTA) R42LTS. I decided to go with the stockers due to the GN plugs being 2 steps hotter and thought that the colder plug would be safer and prevent detonation. I have noticed that the idle is...

    How much blow by is normal?

    Thanks guys Today I changed out the coolant with distilled water and a gallon of prestone. I also dismounted the overflow jar and did the bottle brush clean job...looking like new. I guess I have been a bit paranoid due to my wife's 94 V-6 Camaro blowing a head gasket 2 weeks ago. To make...

    How much blow by is normal?

    Hey guys. I bought my TTA about 2 1/2 years ago with 21000 miles on it. Today I have a tic over 31000 miles on it. My question: How much blow-by is considered normal on these engines? I haven't changed my coolant since owning the car and noticed that when I took off the radiator...

    Bullitt Mustang atempts to leave me on a 1 laner...

    it was the green color option. The one thing I remember most of all is the "BULLITT" emblem on the rear gleaming in the sunlight. That thing was ultra clean.

    Bullitt Mustang atempts to leave me on a 1 laner...

    Most people at the local car show walk by the TTA and pause and have that look of "ummmm" when they see the intake pipe and turbo. Then they see the door emblems and Indy Wings on the rockers and they really get intruiged. That day..the car got a lot of attention. One guy had his whole...

    Bullitt Mustang atempts to leave me on a 1 laner...

    Not much of a race but.... Driving my TTA home from a local car show...I came upon "mint" Bullitt Mustang (not sure exact year), with aftermarket exhaust..but was turning onto the main road from the airport and it looked like it was mint. We turn left on a one laner and I am right behind...

    TTA Restoration Project

    Jan What you have done is impressive...especially considering your location. Some of your fellow TTA enthusiasts in the States are challenged enuf with finding parts for this vehicle..without the geographical obsticle. I am wondering what reception this "Yank Tank" with the unique 6...

    TTA Restoration Project

    Attached is a link that I found regarding a 89 TTA that was fully restored professionally. It's good to see someone who recognizes the historical (in addition to the perf potential) of this unique and rare car. http://la.rsson.com/tta1078resto/
