First off Hello! i just bought an 81 TTA with 69.9k orig miles for 2k i'm the second owner now and just had a few questions about my new car. I havent picked it up yet but its paid for and sitting at my Grandma's house in Sacramento, i drove a 1990 Iroc-Z hard top 5 speed that i just sold last month actually and was a die hard fan and tried to learn all i could about my little LB9 motor. Anyways, my dad owned a junkyard when i was 8 and thats when i really got into cars, i was talking to my dad a month ago and asked him what he thought i wouldve liked most out of his yard and his 2 answers were a cuda with a 440, or the TTA he sold to an employee, i had heard rumors about TTA's but had never seen one, found this one in the local dealer magazine as a private owner and jumped at it. My biggest question is what can i do to this car to make it lay waste and pick up where i left off with the iroc with my competition in school, and where can i get these parts? i sold the Iroc for 4500.00 and as i said paid 2k for the TTA, so i've got some money to spend on this car, it does need repair, i guess the plumbing on the turbo needs to be looked at, seals are rotted, and the motor needs valve guide seals. I believe its Carb'd? but that wouldnt make sense to me on a turbo'd motor, please all the info and parts links you guys can lend would be awesome!
thanks, and its a pleasure to be here!
