Hey everyone, this is my first post here, I've been reading for a while. My buddy is also on here (black95maro). I've got a 1985 T-top trans am, 305 4bbl 5speed in red/silver (Hopefully 350 soon). My girlfriend has the very same car in all maroon. It's my second F-body and I love these things. Looking forward to getting pretty involved.

Hey guys, Thank you very much for the warm introduction. I have some pictures on my phone that I've taken but I'll get some better ones with an actual camera maybe tomorrow.

Her car is the maroon one, it's bone stock with some ugly yellow seat covers that came with it. Mine is the red one next to my buddy's 84 Camaro (also 5speed). My car is very close to stock. It has a Harwood fiberglass cowl on it. I haven't gotten around to glassing it to the hood and painting but it looks pretty good from far away (if anyone is good with fiberglassing, ALL advice/tips are appreciated). It's also got a Borla exhaust and a cutout after the cat. It sounds pretty good. Oh, and I've got a Hurst T-handle :) Plans for the future include a 350. Nothing spectacular because I don't want to ruin the T5 . I've heard of people putting 450hp through stock T5s and having no problems, but I don't trust it. Anyway I'm going to look at a 350 tomorrow, it's a 1984 block with Silverado fuel injection on it (that will be replaced with an Edelbrock manifold and carb set-up that's been sitting in my basement) freshly rebuilt, and the guy wants 500 for it, so we'll see what happens.

There's also a picture of my winter beater vehicle. 1989 S10 BAJA. 2.8L V6 TBI 5 speed with working 4x4. Bought for 600 bucks, looking to sell soon if anybody wants it. Everything works, but it leaks oil. A lot of oil. Not sure if it's the rear main or oil pan gasket. It's coming from the rear so I doubt it's the timing chain cover. Don't have time to find out and fix it with work and school.

Anyway, thanks again for the welcome and I apologize for making this post longer than expected.

Thanks,
-Frank
