Have not been in here in years, seem to remember the hot-air section being a lot larger. I have an 85 WH1 T-Type has been parked since around 2003. Car ran at the time but I got fed up with the powmaster brakes. Plus busy with work, kids etc. Now I'm ready to get her going again. Paint and...

I'm building up a 3.8 to drop into my 87 firebird. I know that the tta's came with different heads than the tr's. I've heard fwd 3.8 heads? Question is should I stick with the 8445 heads that I have, or should I switch to the fwd heads. What would the benefits to a fwd head be? There must...

Well I have decided to stop driving the T-Type. For now anyways. My intent was always to do a frame off build on the car. So it's going over to my brothers to be parked for a while. I estimate that it will be at least a year before I actually begin to take the car itself apart. In the...

A friend of mine is thinking of buying what is supposed to be an 8.5" rear with posi. Complete drum to drum. It is also supposed to have stock 3.73 gears. As far as I can tell this must have come from an 442 olds, right? Also how do you make sure that it is an 8.5 rear? Checking the gear...

My rear bumper is beginning to rust on my t-type. Who has these in stock. I have looked in the local junk yards and can't find a decent one.

Alright I know that this has come up again and again. But I have yet to see any real answers from anyone who has actually done this. I have an 87 base model firebird. Really good shape, absolutly no rust and a near perfect interior. By the way I got the car for only $700 bucks. It has the...

I can remember seeing a hotair vac diagram in this forum before. I've done a search and am unable to find it. I believe that it was a link to a members web site. But I can't remember who's? It was basically an exploded view of the intake. If anyone knows where this or any other vac diagram...

I need a part # for the gasket that fits between the throttle body and the turbo. All of the parts stores keep trying to sell me one that is to big. Won't fit over the studs. Also is there a special pvc valve grommet for our cars. I have tried 3 different ones and can not get any of them to...

Alright, all I did was change the plugs, fuel filter and the oil. For some reason when I started the car I had a pretty good backfire. Blew a few vacuum lines off. I have since checked the wires and the plugs, all good. Made sure that all of the vac lines were back to where they are supposed...

i got 3 gallons of xylene from sherwin williams. Plan on using it at the track tomorrow. I'm just wondering do you have to mix the 93 octane gas, xylene and m&m oil before you put it in the tank? Or is it ok to just pour in the xylene and mystery oil in the gas tank. I would think that it...

I'm getting ready to set the tps with a voltmeter. Doing this for the first time in about an hour. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or a particular way they do it.

Just kicking around an idea. Has anyone ever rigged up some nozzles to spray CO2 mist around the turbo and or intake. Seems like it would be relatively easy to do. And should be fairly inexpesive. I would think that this would drasticallly cool the intake charge. Seems like you would just...

After a very dissapointing experience at the track, (first time), I have finally decided to get a scan tool. My car seems solid, and drives good on the street and is very reliable. So I figure my low time "17.12" :(, are from being WAY out of tune. Question is where can I get a scantool for...

I have an 85 T-Type with the factory aluminum "turbine wheels". Right now I have 255/60/R15 BFG Radial TA's on the rear. Question is will I be able to stuff 275/60/R15 BFG Comp TA DR's in there. Or will I need a wheel with a different offset.

Does anyone know the difference in underhood temps you can expect by adding the GNX fender louvers? I have a hotair car so every little bit will help, plus they look good. But I'm not willing to cut into my fenders just to look good. I'm also gonna have to convience myself that there is a...

Alright let me say this. I love my car and my engine. Easily the funnest and fastest car I have ever owned. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Well maybe a GNX. But I'm still waiting for that offer. BUT, my engine takes a dump after 4,900 rpm. From my understanding almost all tr's max out around...

First time trying to post pics. So if it don't work, bear with me. http://community.webshots.com/user/stl85

Just got a digital camera yesterday. I took a buch of cool pictures of the car today. Including some smokey a$$ burnouts. Plus I got some questions about the vacuum lines and some dead end electrical connectors. But I'd like to post the pics with those questions. So in short, how do I go about...

My car came with a maf translator. I thought that this would mean that I must have the 87 ecm. But recently I have heard different. I have had the car for awhile but it's been a daily driver. Now that I have my firebird done my tr will only be seeing weekend cruising and track duty. The...

I have an 87 firebird with the 2.8 v6. It is VERY slow. I am going to be putting in a ford 9" and rebuilding the 700r4. As well as suspension upgrades. Question is, how hard will it be to put my spare buick 3.8 in it? I know that it won't bolt to the tranny, but I figure that someone makes...
