[Prospeeder]

It isnt thats the problem. Im fighting that stupid fuel pump still. I must have gotten a defective one, it wont turn on anymore, lol.

i hear ya, mine has had the engine out for two years.... college puts projects aside for a while i guess...

[TGP Nick]

Mine's been sitting for the better part of the last 2 years... word on college- pretty much why it sits.

My TGP is running Now, Real strong. But it still idles a tad funny and gets awful mileage. Iv been grandma drivin around and got like 17-18 mpg w/ over 80% highway driving.

Changed out my turbo from the one that was on the car.. The one on the car had a blown seal and was causing various boost pressure.. Changed it out and WOW.. OMG this is a totally different car.. 12 PSI of BOOST and Banging gears is sooooo fun.. I gotta change out my clutch for a stocker as the Stage 3 is too harsh and causing alot of problems.. I have a bent dog bone mount thats on the core support.. :icon_rolleyes: Fun Fun Fun car that im using to DD right now until i get this  other GP ready for DD'ing

So my o2 sensor was bad. It was hardly crossing 2-5 times a second. My new ones does over 20 a second. Mileage is up. And I used this awsome huge rolly IBM computer thing from the 80's and did a Forced Idle Relearn. Wow, it make a BIG difference, I just COULD NOT get this thing to freakin learn its idle, this GM computer forced it to, did 100% IAC, 2500 RPMs, then 60% 40% 30% 24% 22% 19% then it was at exactly 800 RPMs on the scantool. And it catches the RPMs super fast at start up and no more driving itself.

Its been stored since Sept 09, Sad to say the battery was no good anymore but I hooked up the cables and it snapped right off. Sounded amazing! My DD is a Ford SHO and is not boosted so I got pretty excited when I reved it up and heard the turbo spool. =) Cant wait to get it out on dry road!

[GOT2B GM]

hasnt run since i put it away the beginning of nov 09

[bake82]

Put away in December in running condition for the first time in 3 yrs! IT's coming out in a month!

[z284pwr]

Hasn't run for about a year and a half now.  Good motor had the cam go flat, put a stock one in, it had a nut in one of the cylinders so its just sat.

Lookin more and more like the big turbo and any goodies will be coming out and the car sold, pretty sad the big turbo is worth about as much as the car  :icon_neutral:

The 89 is still running awsome Just came from Polo to Jefferson and I did roll over 200,000miles a couple of days after the U.S. 41 meet. I hope the swap meet goes good. The black 90 you would have to ask Shifter hes had for a few months. Last I heard has a slight oil leak and coolant leak but over all pretty good.

[POPEYEZTGP]

wow 200,000 thats awesome

[mfewtrail]

wow 200,000 thats awesome

The highest mileage one I've documented so far had 268,000 on it. If it's still around, it's probably nearing 300K.
