RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I will be there with a couple of friends just wanted to see if anyone else was going from here.

These are the best I have on my computer.

That '89 TTA is definitely a rare bird...looks like only 1,555 were produced, so the chances of coming across one is highly unlikely. Sadly, that was the only version of the Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am lineup that had serious balls for that year. That's a very lucky owner! His is number 1346 of the 15...

The TTA is currently a very healthy and very fun car to drive. It got new wheels and tires with the originals being put up. The Porsche hasn't made it back to the shop because it can't be driven but we did bring this back to the shop. http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k600/biff85ta/017_zps75a3af99...

I like turbo Buicks but I prefer the F-body with one. I would love to have a GN don't get me wrong but after driving the TTA it would be my first choice. It is cool to see someone else working on one.

What he said. I have yet to drive it running correctly. I had to swap out the ecm and replace all the hoses to the wastegate actuator so it would stop over boosting.

Do you have pics of the 928's?

Not yet they are still in storage. I should be digging out the 84 auto car sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Yes it has a something close to 6895 on the odometer.

I have to swap out the computer tomorrow and clean it a ton more but other than swapping out some fluids and new tires it should be pretty much done. I am hoping for this one to be the easy car out of the group.

I am currently working on this for the original owner as well as two 928's a 79 tenth anniversary TA and a 96 Impala SS. http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k600/biff85ta/243_zps098ef563.jpg http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k600/biff85ta/240_zps162eae03.jpg http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k60...

The bolink is a digger not a legends car.

I would not be surprised to find folks in Losi who would embrace the idea. I have no confidence that horizon cares however.

We had 2012 or 2011 SE we leased, there was an issue w/ the auto trans, you could hear a slight rattle that was apparently from a loose synchro in the auto trans,

Automatics don't use synchros.

I am sorry to read this. RIP Gene Hustings. It is a sad thing to see the legends of an industry pass.

You really should not use the oven you plan to eat out of for powdercoating.
