Well as some of you know I just picked up a 2000 TA from one of the newer members on the board. Tom at OTE recently welded the pass side header by the egr for him. Anywho on to the car, 2000 TA NMB ttops, leather along with everything else you would expect on a TA.

FYERBMR (Brian) was who I picked it up from and Ill tell ya, he knew what he was doing with this car. Its just plain awsome and now I feel back at home in a 4th gen car. I love my 75' but its not for me and my brother will appreciate it much more than myself. The car has a rather large list of mods done to it. Ive gotten on it twice and she moves pretty good and rides great. Brian if you see this thanks again for the car man and no worries its in good hands where it deserves to be. List of mods as follows...

TR 224 Cam on 112 LSA
QTP Headers
QTP Catted Y pipe
SLP LM cat back (Borla oval XR Race muffler NIB unopened)
18" HP Racing Rims
BFG KDW-2 tires (less then 5k on rims/tires)
Baer slotted and drilled rotors front and back
Hawk pads
FAST 78mm intake
FAST 78mm throttle body
Tbyrne Lid
FTRA
ASP underdrive pulley
SLP !TCS mod
SLP Double diamond weld in SFCs
B&M Ripper shifter
Mcleod Stage 2 Kevlar clutch

I need to take some pics of the car and post them up for all to enjoy. Last time I was this happy about a car was when I had my 94' Z28. Like I said before, Iam back at home where Iam the most comfortable.:headbang

To be honest that was one of my manin concerns when getting a new car. I was praying to god that my brother would be able to take my 75' cause I didnt really want to put it up for sale and have some punk kid buy it and wrap it around a tree or abuse the hell outta it. I know my brother will take awsome care of her and hell yeah I'll still be able to drive it around and sit and bask in its glory!!!:banana1:

Congrats on the new car! It's going to be wierd not seeing that white 5.0 at your parents everytime I drive past. Hopefully I'll get to see the 75 now :)

I will probably take it to the track next summer, Im not comfortable enough with launching a manual car yet. Ive never owned a manual rear wheel drive car. Only front wheel manual and I have to get use to this car before I do anything like that. But I will def let everyone know when it hits the track, you never know maybe I will do it this year but doubt it.:D

Hey Nick!

When ya do take it to the track, give me a call first please. I never ran her down the 1320 and I'm curious as hell what she'll do. Don't forget, it's still on the stock 10 bolt and if you toss some slicks on there you might be in for a bad day when it hooks.

Now you are the proud owner of a sweet car. I love that 75.:thumbsup I drooled over that car for 2 weeks before nick bought it. All it needs IMO is a set of factory Honey combs or pontiac ralleys.


Nice car nick. Stop by sometime.

I used to have a 78', it had a set of snowflake wheels, they were in bad shape. A friend of mine was trying to sell his dad's set of mint honeycombs, for over 500 bux!! That was over 10 years ago! Couldnt imagine what they go for now, clean. Must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of them tho.

Sorry Nick for the mild hi-jacking of your thread;)
