GOT2B GM Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 it was god910's car IIRC the trans blown in the car Kuntzie's all jealous that there's another black TGP that he doesn't own. Nice pickup, Pat. Yup, because he owns all of ONE tgp.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 what did he do, sell em all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 He only had 3 other ones. Mine, a 90 TSTE (parted) and a rear ended black 90 TGP (parted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 this one didn't come from the same stable matt's came from. this one was local. he was on the forums years ago and we kept in contact and he is moving away and didn't have time or motivation to get the car together. i'm borrowing the 5 speedy guts for the red car and black car will go into hiding for a while as other stuff gets done. whomever swapped it did it right, but he bought it that way years ago. they made a bracket for the turbo, did the wiring correct, theres a chip from one of the guys here, maybe you can tell me who cause i forgot, it's got a label on it written in blue ink saying "getrag 282, 180 deg, 12psi" car in background is my 91 caprice wagon, which probably looks familiar because i'm sure you have seen it around town. as soon as the tgp is 5 speeded, which shouldnt take me all that long if i get motivated enough to actually pull the motor out of the red one, that one is going down for repairing of the more than doubling the hp kind.

slick Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Did the black car have a turbo upgrade as well? If so, I've met him before here in Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 coolness. I know you said you were gonna hide from your father back when you brought the red car home. How about now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 i think my dad accepts the fact - finally - that i can not be stopped. and he also knows i am buying my own place next year. chris - the black one has a t28 i think... or had. i forget what he said. but these turbos are so funny small. i forgot how tiny they are since the last turbo 3.1 i had was probably 6 years ago. i think i need a bigger one. black car came with some new stuff that is going right onto the red one - 34mm sway bar w/ poly bushings, FAF rear 2" drop leaf(ironically that he bought from me), new FFP dogbones, and a pantload of other stuff. i might get crazy and see if i can get both cars done over winter, but most certainly the red one will be ready to go come spring. i was fixing a flat tire on the wagon and found more rust so..... i won't be concentrating on that one beyond dropping in another TBI 305 to replace the one with the blown head gasket and asston of miles. so i'll have all the time available that i was going to dedicate to making that one fun.

Brian P Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 i think my dad accepts the fact - finally - that i can not be stopped. and he also knows i am buying my own place next year. Same situation here. "Get that out of my garage!" "Why you swapping engines? It ran fine!" "Transmission again??" "Transmission AGAIN?!?!?" "What Camaro is coming here?"

slick Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Yep, I've for sure seen the black one you bought. I ended up partying with him and his GF my first year of school here. I seen his TGP, then seen the 5 speed, and knew instantly that he would be around on one of these forums. He had a bit of work done to that car, IIRC.

mfewtrail Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I remember the guy the guy that owned that car. Everyone that buys a TGP seems to end up with at least two of these cars. I'm planning on another one sometime in the near future....has to be mint or nearly mint...thinking about getting a red one(unless I come across another nice black car).

GutlessSupreme Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 theres a chip from one of the guys here, maybe you can tell me who cause i forgot, it's got a label on it written in blue ink saying "getrag 282, 180 deg, 12psi" not too many people made 5 speed chips.. offhand; Davis, Kenny, Jay, mars, skalor.. prolly not too many others.

patgizz Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 the black car no longer is a 5 speed the red one will be shortly. i keep finding more and more structural rot up front in the black car, i'm getting scared of the idea of putting it back together and having it be safe.

pontiac6ksteawd Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Everyone that buys a TGP seems to end up with at least two of these cars. I guess that is true, befor I had even registered, started, driven, or popped the hood on my first TGP, I had bought the one I currently have. And befor I drove either of them, I had sold the first one. Am I making sense? Of course my goal is to find a Black TGP, with grey interior (dont care about the condition of the interior), and seap in the Charcoal seats with grey outlines in. Seen it on one car, and it looked awesome. Either that, or buy a Maroon TSTE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
