Hello all. I'm new here. don't have a GTP, Yet. I'm looking right now. I have lots of time working on cars including two turbo buicks, and other GM products. Just a line to say hi and see who all is here in the Jacksonville Fl area.
Not to be an ass or try to scare you or anything, but the proper term is TGP. Many people will soon be on your behind about calling it s GTP as they are 2 completely differnt cars. Just a forwarning! When you do finally become a TGP owner, these boards will become very useful as the TGP is not an easy car to keep running!
Welcome NOS!! :drinking:
Sorry for the slip........I have been working for the past 2 days straight. As for the keeping the car running. That will not be problem. I work on a 87 Turbo-T for a friend I have him down to the mid 10's. My car is a 1980 L-82 Corvette that runs in the low 11's. I spend most of my of my off time working on race engines and the like.
Welcome to the group :drinking: :drinking: :bag:
Welcome! Lots of good info here. Entertaining and useful!
Welcome to the group, making them fast is no problem, Keeping them running is! :oops: Great group here. (Except for Kenny :wink: )
well like I said keeping it running will not be a problem. I was fortunate to be stationed in San Diego for the past 3 years where the junk yards were kind to me and provided one complete TGP engine and computer, and another minus the turbo. I also have plenty of money which always seems to help when it comes to my facination with cars and working on them. As a matter of fact I have just found my new car here in Florida sitting here reading on the site.
Welcome aboard...glad to see anouther active duty service member . I think 4PSNU & myself are the only ones.

Where in Italy? I was in Sigonella for over 3 years. Hated to leave!
I am in Melbourne FL, 20 miles south of cape Kennedy,
I am not sure how many other tgp'ers there are in FL.
so what car did you just find?
Well. I was stuck at NASSIG waiting on a cod flight for a week and I can say that it was not the most enjoyable stay. I had to sleep in the terminal the whole time. Finally made it to the Truman broke and ready to kill me a PN1.
Florida_tgp. I have actually found a guy in Orlando with 2, a red one and a black one. He says that they both have the same problem with the Power Master system. Which is not to bad seeing as that my GN has the same system and I have two to spare. Now I need to get the money and I might buy them both. 8)
4PASNU,
I will be assigned to Vicensa. However will be in Catania (close to Sigonella) visiting my wifes family in a few weeks. My wife worked on NAS 1 sigonella...before I saved her from all that Navy swine!!!! J/K

You should try owning a Supra!! Head gaskets are done every oil change... My TGP was a godsend, even with its tranny eating habit.

My brother says..."YOu and me buddy,,you and me". He drives a 87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.
Wow our troops having a cool chat. Though..I don't know what someof those letters are or Sv??numbers are? but cool to see some communication here.
Hay TurboGTU. It does get hard to understand (I get confused myself). Those of us in the Navy have short ways of saying just about everything. What are you intrested in knowing and maybe one of us can translate for you.
NOSfearato,
One more Navy guy to the chat. I'm at NASB in Me. I'm an SCPO and been in ME. for about 15 yrs, a P-3 Flight Engineer. I own a 95 GTP and will have a 90 TGP in a couple days now (dont think I an mixing up my GTP's and TGP's). What the hell is going on in Sig lately I've been deployed there alot in the past but now I'm teaching SERE. I love it here and might retire from here, maybe one more flat top, started with one go out on one. I want to get this TGP fixed up a bit, maybe keep it for a long time all depends on what it will take in $$$.
==95GTP
Hay 95GTP
Nice to see another A/C bubba. I was a swimmer on H-46. I'm meddown for now. I'm at HS-7 here in Jax working the Phase/IMC shop. Hoping to get back in the air soon though.
Umm..Everything....Im code Eliterate... LOL.
That cool. Well for starters my rank and rate (job) is AE2(AW) which is an Avation Electriction Second Class, the (AW) at the end stands for Avation Warfare, that is a qualafication I have earned. I am equlvant to a Seargent in the Army, we are not really equal on the work level but pay wise we are the same. NASJAX stands for Navel Air Station Jacksonville, any thing with an "NAS" and two or three letters after is a Navel Air Station. What else I cannot remember what else we have said.

I hear that! I've got a few customers that own Turbocoupes, and they can get rather interesting.
