I've had my 2.8 and 350 TBI (recently sold) for a few years, and finally decided to buy myself something special. Just bought yesterday, an '88 GTA. About the same power as my last Firebird, but damn is it much quicker and the handling far exceeds it!

I plan on keeping this one for a loooong time. I scored with this one, subframe connectors, new polyurethane bushings, hi-flow cat/cat-back exhaust, wonderbar, a/c delete, 3.27 gears, super clean, and runs smooth. Only $2400. All others like this (which aren't as stock as this one) are going for $5000+ here and none of them have the original gold wheels, and these are near perfect. Even the tires are fairly new Kuhmos. Fog lights are the only thing that don't work.

Re: New to TPI

A little on the high side, 163k. Was used for a trips to San Diego and back. But looks to be well taken care, unfortunately, after driving it yesterday and today, it won't start unless I push a little on the gas. Then proceeds to idle perfectly, why would it do that? (searching right now, just thought I would throw that question out there, too)
