hi everybody.
i heard about this site from third gen and thought i'd check it out and say hi to everyone here in the northwest.

as for me, i live in pasco, wa. and drive an '89 trans am. i'm currently in the process of putting on a new powdercoated tpi system so the car doesn't run right now. i got the wrong driver's side runner so i had to send it back. just waiting for it......

this is my third trans am. my first was an 82 which i loved but couldn't save it. i also owned a '00 trans am which was awesome! but got rid of it for a bigger "family" rig, and by "family" i mean my wife and our dogs. it's tough to haul the dogs (which we breed and show, they're corgi's) around in the back of a trans am!
i bought this '89 last summer and love it. it needs some work, but i think it'll be a great car. i have a lot of plans for it in the future. first thing is to get a new exhaust, shocks/struts, and a glossy black paint job. it's red right now, which is ok, but all my t/a's have been black....it's the only way to go! Very Happy

anyways, enough blabbing here.
later!

Welcome. Sounds like a cool car, and like you have some nice plans for it.

Corgies are cool dogs, I have an uncle who has 3 of them. Spart little boogers.

miami-
hey, i got it figured out.
the guy sent me an '88 runner (which i knew about) with an '89 plenum. the two don't match!
there's just enough of a gap between the plenum and an "extra" tube on the driver's side. this gap was open to the air and the engine was killing itself.
i sent him one of my runners to be powdercoated. when i get it back, i should be all good to go!

Welcome! It's nice to FINALLY see another person from the Tri-Cities! I grew up in Richland and my '89 Firebird still sits in a garage out there. The main problem is that I sit in Peoria, IL... Laughing

Post some pictures for us! Wink

i knew about the cold start valve on the earlier models, so i had to plug the hole for the injector. i didn't realize that that "extra" tube didn't match against the plenum. at least it's an easy problem to fix...

Qwk Trip- what's it doing in a garage out here!
i'd like to hear that story.....

sorry for not posting any pics. i think i'm the only person left that doesn't have a personal computer. i have to use the computers here at work. plus, my digital camera is the first one ever made and it sucks. it should really be in a mueseum somewhere!

ok...that's not entirely true. Embarassed

my camera doesn't suck that bad. Wink

how do you post pics?
when i get the car up and running, i'll try and post some if it's not to difficult.

Xophertony-
sorry i didn't answer you question.

yes, by registries, he means the Knight Registries. i've been a member there for about 7 years. that's when i got my first t/a. it was an '82 black and gold style. i had just moved away from home (dayton, wa.) and it was the first site online that i found that had to do with birds. i've always been a bigger bird fan than a camaro. i thought it was so neat to see people transform their birds into a car that i used to make out of a cardboard box! Laughing

....there's just something about a black trans am..... Cool
