Hello to all the Hawaii members here! I just picked up my first TR from my friend in Ewa. It's a black 87 Turbo T, and has the WO2 blackout package. My friend had it sitting on stands since 2005. I put new 36 lb injectors, high perf fuel pump, matched ecm chip, ram air, hot wire, and so much more. The car is a fast blast to drive! Aloha Dale

Howzit Rob.........

You guessed right on the car. Yes, Leto is currently involved in hard times at Vegas (where he resides now), so unfortuneately he had to sacrifice the 87 T. I was set to buy the car back in '05, but declined to sell it. He still has an 87 GN that's on stands with a bad rod bearing. The T had some issues and especially a lack of spring cleaning. Thanks for the reply, I never really thought about Buick TR's until the time I drove the 87 T. My collection is a 86 Monte SS, 93 Z71, and now the 87 T. It's hard to find parts for the T, especially since I'm trying to restore it. Take care Rob.:smile:

Thanks for the Aloha!

Man, it's awesome to know local fans other than myself owning these special vehicles. Thanks for all the replies.
