how is your TGP running today?

[POPEYEZTGP]

Just thought i would talk about how our TGP's are running today , And when i say running im not talking about track time, and how often you drive it?

I'll start off by saying i love this car , been having alittle trouble with it lately just driving around seems it runs ok NOt perfect , i step on the gas and it spits like a plug wire was off, BUT this morning OMG that thing ran great stepped on the gas and the front of the car came up (not off the ground ,lol) and that baby flew i had to hold the wheel it was really pulling hard,, i let it set for 30 min, and back to it's old self,,

I really hate my TGP to the point where Im installing a 5 speed and a new motor in her.  Im only going to hate her more when its done so why bother.  Naw, well at least before I blew 3rd on the auto and blew the motor it was all good and a blast to drive.

Runs like a top, even better now with a heated o2. Drive the car 2-5 times a week. Unless there's snow on the ground so Im really missing it right now.
I uploaded some videos to youtube, theres a 0-80 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSEdN3HhMMw and a 0-100 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZZ2S81Ekx0
The new Fuzions can still just barely hold the road.
Need to replace a boot on a halfshaft and really need a new exhaust.

since I finally found a job, I'll be pulling the 5 speed back down so that I can install my new stage 3 6-puck spec clutch, as well as finally get to those yellow top fuel injectors. Everything else is doing great.

Worked on the TSTE for a few hours today.  Got rid of the ford injectors and installed a set of accell 24's I had from before...........purrs like a kitten.   Went to change the oil (3 years old) to find out the the oil pan drain bolt is stripped in the pan and there is a 1 inch dent where it looks like someone tried to jack up the car by its oil pan.

if you get them make sure they are the newer type with the 3 holes for fuel to come out of insted of the pintle type injectors.  My other TSTE has thos ein it and it seems to work just fine.

Bought mine in September. It was in storage the last 5 years. Fixed the brakes, got it registered and legal. Then put it away for the winter.  :icon_sad: I need to put new tires on it in the spring and then there are dozens of small things it needs. I can't wait to drive it. It was running real good and breezed through emissions before I put it away.

injectors out now and read good,humm what else to do ,,nickle and dime until i get it right i guess  ;)

HAHA motor smokes when it idles to long. tranny slips in every gear but second. Other then that it runs great in second. Hoping to find a W-body with a 5 speed for cheap this spring. I hate automatics.

For starters My black 90 Is my daily driver it idles high on first start up because I keep forgetting to re learn the Idle. It runs damn good for need to re gap the spark plugs I can't go WOT. I could use a new torque converter but all in all not bad.

The 89 street racer is sitting under snow but will still fire and run. It is developing a knock so in a few weeks I'll pick up an oil pump to take care of that. Then I need to start picking up parts for the race season coming up.

The other three of mine are resting peacefully in the back yard and in storage.

Well the black TGP blew out the oil seal on the compressor side of the turbo. A few days later it puked a fuel pump. After that it left me sitting on the side of the road. Had it towed to the shop and it fired right up.  :gr_guns:   Did some trouble shooting and after a few hours I came to the conclusion that the atmel eeprom was crapping out. Soldered in a new one and all is good so far. I still am not sure what I am going to do about the stock t25 oil leak. It's a simple fix for me but why not replace the entire unit with something more suitable for the car...   :flamingdevil:    Right before she started having all these problems I had a set of Goodyear Eagel F1's mounted and balanced on all 4 corners...  They do not hook at all. My worn out BFG's did a much better job...

The red TGP is all good and has been in the garage keeping warm next to the black one. I plan on doing some other things to her when it warms up outside. I did race an Audi A8 with AWD. It had a cat back with a few minor mods. He pulled me off the line but by the time I hit drive I was at his door and he was like WTF!! I ended up about a car length ahead of him before we let out of it. He followed me to the gas station to check out the car, he had never seen one. Needles to say he was impressed...

Sorry to say, I haven't even tried to start mine in two years... just sits in the garage lookin' pretty!
