First mods to get for a 87 TR?

[88 CuttyClassic]

My dad my be purchasing an 87 T shortly to add to the fleet. I was wondering what would be the first mods to get? Say about a $500 budget. Also the car probably won't ever be modded in the future to go past low 12's . The car is gettin the engine rebuilt currently so it will be fresh.

hot wire kit and upgraded fuel pump (Walbro 340). $109-129 and good for 600hp+.

Do a search on this... it has been answered many many times.

Also, don't forget a scantool like a Scanmaster.

Don't bother rebuilding the motor unless it needs it. All the factory seals are the best. Once the heads come off, you never quite get as good of a seal.

1. Get a scan tool - Scanmaster
2. Fuel pump and hotwire kit.
3. K&N filter
4. Guages - water, oil, boost
5. tires

Go to www.gnttype.org and read everything. Once done reading, then read it again. It is the TR bible. Once you've read it about 2 or 3 times, you can come here and ask questions and understand the answers we give you.

well the car i might be buying has sat since 91 with a blown engine so it did need rebuilt.. the interior is perfect and the body is solid as a rock. The guy rebuilding is pittsburgh's TR guru so i trust his work to the fullest. We plan to get some GTA/GNX style wheels for it.

Hey 88 CuttyClassic, did you buy the white t out at Shawns, I looked at it about a month ago, really nice car though it needs some body work. Good buy if thats the one that I am thinking about.

yes that is the one i'm looking at. shawn is a good guy, he's helped me out with stuff for my other g-bodys. I didn't buy it yet but as soon as the motor gets dropped in my dad wants to test drive and make a decision then.
