Looks like RSFreak will be buying a 1986 Trans Am with the WS6 Package!!! Has the 9-bolt rear end with the disk brakes, a 350 (in several parts right now, but will be cool once we get it back together), re-built tranny, nice interior, and nice exterior except for the missing graphics. It will be a fun summer project. And it should be killer when it's done.

Cool, sounds like a fun project. How many f-body's does this make for him now ???

82SC, 83Z, 84Z, 85Z, 86TA, 89RS, 91RS and the 68 and 94 These are the ones i know about.

Actually the T/A will be my 10th fbody, Jimi forgot my '80SC (his favorite I might add!) I sold the '85 Z back to him, so I only have the 89RS and the T/A right now. This is my first Pontiac however!

You guys should come by the dealership on saturdays, it's fricken DEAD here. I get really bored. Almost to the point of passing out. Hence, me playing on the internet all day. Laughing

What ?!!? You mean you don't go take new Z06's for spins when it is slow ??!?

iansane · Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 6:44 pm Post subject:

Only if we had a Z06 in stock. We've only got one or two vettes right now, and I think both are absolutely no option automatic cars.

I did take a TBSS for a spin yesterday. My mom wants to trade her tahoe for it. Laughing

Tried to bolt the 86TA wheels on RSFreaks 89RS (temporary for the tires)and we couldn't! Never dawned on us that Camaros and Birds/TAs had different offsets.

Dewey316 · Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 8:07 pm Post subject:

They bolt on fine, unless you tried to put a rear wheel on the front. Stock, the cars are the same. The 16" wheels from both cars are the same. But on all the cars, the front/rear offsets are diffrent on the 16" wheels.

If that makes sense.

I wanted to try that, but john figured it wouldn't work so we didn't proceed...lol...probably try again later

Me and Red swapped wheels to see what it would look like and his formula wheels looked killer on my car. absolutely flush with the fender too. Until then we never realized that the offsets were different.

I say get Front Wheels all around. Then you can rotate and it fills the rear fender well.

well, finally put the bird wheels on rsfreaks/john's car...don't look half bad imo....important thing is that the tires are good. btw, these are the kind of tires that came stock on the 86TA...Good Year GS something or another. 245 zr 16s

I'm liking them less and less on the Camaro but I'll live with them for now. Might put the stockers back on the T/A once we get her rolling and put the Z06s on the RS. Wink
