In case anyone likes to look at them there's a lot of pictures! Not the one in my signature. Item number 281155318594

I have been restoring this Turbo Trans Am since '09 and since we have to close the shop I won't have room for "extra" cars any more. It had been my daily driver between Nov. '09 and July '12 when I got my next project running that gets 40+ mpg. It's lots of fun to drive, of course, and is about...

#307 is nearly ready for the track again. Pinks! All out will be here in Tucson mid Nov. Wow! I need to start a collection to redo the seats.

Can someone explain how the cam sensor, crank sensor, C3I module and ECU get together on this? Rising edge, falling edge, both? how do they sychronize? Why 25 degrees after TCD for cam sensor? Dwell? Advance, retard. What signal from ECU to C3I? Every other part of this car I understand...

Who's got a Supra or other crazy fast import with this system? I'm 2/3's through making this work on my TTA. There are some Supras around here running this system and it seems to work really well. I've tried to learn all I can from reading the manual but if someone knows some tricks that will...

I just installed my new motor after a year of down time and all seemed well for the first 300 miles. Of course I had not gotten all over it yet, then when the time came it was all sputtery at 10+ psi. Immediately I begin testing coil pack, switching plugs and wires, checking fuel pressure...

It's incredible what it takes to get a "simple" motor together. I added up parts receipts the other day and discovered more than $6000 have been vanquished from my account. Add in $3900 for machine work and it's no wonder I'm considering getting another job. Here's what's in there: Buick...

I put a Buick steel crank it this 4.1 motor and as I was trying to install it came to my attention that the knob on the front of the converter does not fit into the hole in the crank. Jesus! Race motors! I'm getting out the grinder.

Is it there?

Mine's been in the machine shop for over a year. WTF? It's just a stock block 4.1. The crank and rods have been there for ever. They ordered the pistons a month ago and received them last week. Now they ordered the gaskets to bolt the torque plates on. I guess one part at a time?

I'd be real appreciative. 1GTEC19M4VE527087 TIA!

Does it exist? If so, where? If not, should it? What's the story?

I'm baffled. There's a rattle only at idle and only most of the time. almost always, really. I've had it on a lift running and can hear it, but can't find it. I know a guy who has a GN w/the same rattle. BTW mine is a TTA. I'm going crazy, here! It's been there for YEARS! I may even offer...

I'm having some trouble finding one at a local parts store. Is there a part # I should ask for or do I have to order it from someone?

I finally got some pictures of this modification. Here is a description of what went into it. First you have to be willing to hack and cut up your marvelous car. Then you run down to your local Ford dealer and pick up your new intercooler which now comes with plastic tanks glued and pinched...

Ths car has a stock motor with Felpro gaskets. The throttlebody is enlarged, it had a TA-52 turbo, modified Ford diesel intercooler, 3500 PI l/u converter, drum brakes, 26X11.50 ET Streets on Aluma star wheels, 43 lb injectors, Bosch fp, and the usual little stuff when it went 11.08. Now there...

Has anyone seen one of the aftermarket wrap around wings installed on a car? I own a body shop and deal with aftermarket fiberglass products daily now that the cool thing to do is to attach large chunks of crap to your rice-mobile. There are so many companies building absolute garbage that I...
