Just a quick hello from the south coast,i have recently become a proud owner of a 88 2.8rs ,i know its not a v8 but we all got to start somewhere,no doubt it probably belonged to someone on here in the past ,rest assured it's in good hands now,i love it so much i have just purchased a set of 20" irocz from the states..will be looking to improve power at some point but exterior is priority first for me..

Should look good once you remove that abortion of a rear wing. Welcome to the boards.

thirdgenspen

yes i know what you mean a previous owner had fitted it,and i had thought about removing it only problem being that the car has been done in rainbow metalflake so will be very hard to match if any peels off,and i will be left with 4 holes in boot lid letting in water!

Oh no! Looks great other than that! I remember at the SummerNationals about 10 years ago I had my big ZZ4 IROC and we decided to have some burn out competitions at 2am. A v6 TA thirdgen was about the best Great car.

i love this carafter driving it home at 60 tops and struggling to get there
i have fitted a new set of plugs,i took it out on saturday for first time since fitting the 20's and plugs and could not believe how much nicer it is to drive,and it got up to 80 no probs
i had 15's on it with 235's on front and 255's on rear and it was horrible to drive heavy on the steering even with the ps,i see these 20's on youtube and had to have em they look the biz!
burnouts at 2 am sounds funcant say i have tried it in the camaro,but i have in my firebird thats a whole lot of fun

i am going to have a look at taking the wing off tomorrow i hope it's not to butchered underneath,i am worried i may lose perfomance by taking it off though lol!

Nice car, seen it before a few years back at Wheels day. I also saw it recently when you were at Halfords in Titchfield, since I'm just down the road in Southampton.
Perhaps you'll be at the Can-Am lazy sunday on 2nd June?

Hi! Great car! Looks lot better without the wing! I had the same problem with rooftop antennas recently - I have purchased some plastic plugs with nuts and with waterproof rubber washers. Not the best solution, but it works nice!
