New guy, '88 TC Auto October 17, 2005, 02:44:45 PM Found the link to this site while browsing NATO. I'm on there as Sportrods. Honestly, this looks like a much easier to navigate message board, although NATO has some killer info. Between the 2 I should be set! Here's a teaser pic of my 'Bird next to my mom-in-laws '87 Turbo T.The TC is BONE STOCK. I purchased it from the original owner, and older lady. Maintenance was done professionally, and this thing was in the shop if it so much as sputtered a bit. Syn oil it's whole life, and never seen a winter. Oh, and garaged as well. It ow has 104,000 on it. Had 101,000 when I bought it.The Turbo T, because I know people will ask, is a 1 of 200 built, all black with grey interior. It has aluminum everything, similar to the GNX< but without the power windows and locks. It's basically a bare boned GN/GNX combo. 44k original miles. All documentation since new. It also has the GNX turbo and intercooler upgrades, larger injectors, and a stage 1 calibration(forgot the brand name, its on an invoice tht came with the car..). It kicks my TC in the arse so hard I think I'm hitting the brake pedal!! Quote Selected

New guy, '88 TC Auto Reply #11 – October 18, 2005, 01:57:38 PM I've been an avid Turbo Dodge enthusiast since back in the mailing list days and earlier. Some of us were pioneers of things they are doing now. I miss the days of Gary Donovan, Gus Mahon(RIP bro), Jan Aurio, and Paul Smith. I had one of the first Lebarons in the 12's and I think to this day I'm the only guy that had a log TI Daytona in the 12's. Man, those were the days!!I actually got out of TD cars and into Supras before TD.com was ever a dream. I came back to them and found it, and what a load of trash!! Quote Selected
New guy, '88 TC Auto Reply #12 – October 18, 2005, 08:10:46 PM I was into the turbo dodges avidly for quite a while, but i was into the thunderbirds for longer, so when i had the chance to get a turbo tbird, i absolutely had to jump on iti got into the scene shortly after Gus' accident, and i wished i would have been into them to at least be able to talk to him, and be able to thank him, because i learned quite a bit from his sitea log car in the 12's, its sad to think that no one even bothers anymore, when you ask what you should do to the car "exhaust, zenier diode, boost, K&N, TII conversion, bigger intercooler", i enjoyed my 600se, it was almost instant boost, made 11psi, and was just funTD.com was cool for a while, but they started updating the boards, needing money, making moderators out of people with post counts rather than intelligence, and it went to the bucket fast, i loved the board, and was helping quite a few people out, but theres way too many nay-sayers who say youre wrong, then 2 posts later say the same thing you saidim glad im not the only one who isnt a fan of TD.com Quote Selected
