Hey guys, I am new to steel city. I know a few of you form the track and from other places. I have 83 and 88 TurboCoupes. The 88 is my daily driver, and my 83 is my project car. So far I have installed an original Motorsport front mount intercooler, an 8.8" rear w/ 3.55's, CHE upper/lower control arms, Eibach springs in the rear, a 3" single exhaust, and a few other normal add ons (shifter, boost gauge etc...). Boost is set at who knows what, because it spikes everywhere :rolleyes: It spikes near 20# and settles back to around 15#. I hope to get some good clean passes here soon as soon as i get the clutch fixed that i ruined last week at PRP :thmbsup: So far its run a best of 15.2@85mph. So I have a looong way to go to catch up to this mysterious black Capri I catch sight of every once in a while ;) Feel free to ask some questions!!

Nice pics...I was in the other lane when your clutch went out last week.

I used to have an 88 myself. Fun car...just too heavy. (can i say that since my new car is 300lbs heavier? LOL)

Yeah, kind of made me mad, becasue it was the last run and I almost did not even go that round. :rolleyes: But, it was bound to happen soon I guess. It had abotu 15K of hard abuse on it (stock replacement), so it worked long enough I guess :) :rolleyes: Nice run btw :thmbsup:

Thanks for all the kind welcoming!!

yeahloh95- 83 TurboCoupe? lol

I am going to try and get my 88TC put back together. It had a blown head gasket, and I was jsut messing around and not fixing it. So it is the quickest/cheapest fix probably. jsut have to put it back together now. Here is a picture of it btw...
