    Parts for Sale - Out of the TTA Biz

    Hey guys - I sold the car last week. Cleaned out the attic and garage this weekend and found some TTA parts. Plan on throwing them on Ebay in a few days but figured I'd give guys here a chance to make a decent offer. I'm not putting prices on anything so I'm hopefully not violating the rules. If...

    Any Recent Sales?

    Anyone got any recent (this year) sale experience? It's hard to get a good read from ebay, etc. I'm back and forth about selling my TTA and my Formula as well. Not looking to get rich but do folks think we're up even a smidge from the flat last couple of years?? I know demand is down the past 15...

    Power Antenna Experience

    I've read the TTA FAQ instructions and the thirdgen.org threads to fix my recently puked out power antenna (stuck up with motor running). I thought I'd share my experience in case those that have been through it have inputs before I finish up and those that haven't can get some insight. If...

    Brakes / A Crazy Leak?

    Someone here must be able to help!! #791 with 18,000 miles - Run monthly, about half the time put 5-50 miles on it. Warm it up until the idle settles down and pull out of the garage - The first significant brake usually ends up with a modest aww shi% moment as the peddle goes rock hard to the...

    Radio "LOC"

    Ok, I did this once before but now.... Had to replace my battery this weekend. Last time I did it a few years back, radio of course went into "LOC". I vaguely remember finding an instruction on line that I followed to unlock. I do not remember setting a personal code at that time but, if I...

    Spring Carlisle

    Anyone going?? Anyone in the NE going?? I went 2 years ago and really enjoyed myself. Bought my lift down there and a few odds and ends. Not like you're going to strike 3rd gen gold since it's 40s-70s land down there mostly from the parts perspective. I did spend about 5 hours looking at all of...

    Formula 350? GTO?

    Just looking for some dependable/objective 2cent contributions!! I've got the low mile TTA and a low mile (19k) 88 Formula 350. I like both for different reasons - am mildly entertaining dishing off the Formula for a) a real clean 75-78 T/A or b) an 05-06 GTO with real low miles. I'm not...

    Valve Cover Bolt Grommets

    Anyone know the part number off hand? I had a couple of dealers look it up once or twice but found nothing. I have an occasional (only when it gets real hot) seaping up around mostly the front passenger bolt. Based on how the grommet is shaped, I think that's the culpret. Anyone? Also...

    Fixed Emission Problem - wow

    Ok - surprised & embarassed.... Got to the route of my recent emission failure (17k car - see other post). I had changed the plugs a year and a half ago - and it seemed to run ok. Only put about 3-400 miles on since then. As part of the emissions failure, started to notice a "skip" in...

    Who has used AC Plug Wires??

    Anyone used the AC 616N plug wires?? I notice they don't look angled and they don't have shields. I found my emissions problem - a cracked 700 mile plug and some aged original wires. Want to try to find some wires locally so I can pass the test in the next 24 hours and get the registration...

    Chasing Emissions

    Here's where I am - #791 with 17k. Had it 2 1/2 hears and it passed CT emissions when I got it (not by alot mind you but it passed). Since then, new plugs, new pcv, new cat back exhaust (all required) and I replaced the K&N with a stock air box and filter I found. Car runs reasonably well...

    Wheel Refinishing

    Can someone out there point me to a place that I can ship my 88 Formula Rallye Wheels to for refinish?

    Interior Color

    What's the "also known as" color for "Beachwood?" I remember reading somewhere that it was the same as "X" for replacement trim, carpet, etc. but I can't remember what color that was. I need to replace a couple of odds and ends and either want to try repro stuff through Classic.
