Re: Roll call
Hey Neil
Good to hear from you
From the above post (#28), I guess there's more than one Brian, I'll go first. Basically stock Vortec head small block with a cam, 60lb Dekas, Racetronix fuel system. GT35R's with 35mm WG's and single 50mm BOV, all budget stuff, Truck manifolds upside down and forwards, hand fabbed hot and cold side. Two small intercoolers, one under each battery tray. Had to convert to manual brakes, no room for a brake booster. ECM by Dynamic EFI. Lots of work still to do which you already know.

I like the work you did with this motor and noticed you did your ECM by Dynamic EFI.
I have one in my 85 Camaro and was wondering if you could recommend someone for my tune.
I am located in Toronto.
Much appreciate any help you can be.

Re: Roll call
Hi Guys, bought this '89 T/A GTA about a week ago, getting the safety check on Wednesday. Looking forward to doing lots of driving. First trip will be down to Sand Banks for a few days next week- I live in the Ottawa area. Any really good shops you recommend for mechanical work if I cant do it myself?
thanks
A.J.

Re: Roll call
Hey AJ, welcome to the world of thirdgens! Yours looks pretty clean.
Not sure what part of Ottawa you live in to recommend a shop. I'd avoid Hinton Automotive in Stittsville. I've heard good things about Getty Automotive.
Maybe hit a cruise night and ask around..

Re: Roll call
Hello! Newbie to Thirdgen but had a few 3rd gens along the way at 19 had a '86 Z28 with 305 TPI, then at 23 had a '88 IROCZ. A few moths ago, I got a burr (we could say midlife crisis 3rd edition) for another 3rd gen. I found a '88 Trans Am GTA that was decent but needed some attention. Slowly with the help of many on this forum, she is roaring back to the road.

Re: Roll call
Sorry it’s been a while… got busy with life and kids and all of that.
Good to see some other OG TGO folks still here!
We are still representing in the ZZD Camaro.
Just finished a round of mods that have been sitting on the shelf for years:
-Willwood big brakes
-Custom V-banded 4” Exhaust and Dyno Don TDS 1 3/4 headers
-Lakewood scatter shield
-RAM Hydraulic throw-out bearing
-Pro 5.0 shifter

Re: Roll call
I found them on eBay and ordered back issues from 1999 / 2000 haha. It was a 2 part series “ZIG ZAG Part I” in September 99 and “ZIG ZAG Part II” in October 99. I will post the articles when they arrive unless you beat me to it
