1990 Consulier GTP Targa

What size is the billet unit?

Just got this....Photo taken by Geoffrey Hewitt at Nelson Ledges in Ohio on June 30th 1990. My Consular GTP targa.

Looks like the car has the roadster hoop on it instead of the targa top doesn't it? maybe that's where the one I got came from.

What size is the billet unit?

I was told 58mm but....My caliper says 55mm.

I did not notice that. You are right, mine now has a different hoop than the one in the old photo. Wow.

What is the advantage of the billet TB when regular TB's are readily available? Bling?

The larger stock one, on my Consulier...the two vacuum ports won't fit under my engine cover.
This one has one port (I only need one) and it fits under the engine cover....and it looks good. (yes, bling)
I did need to adapt a couple things to make it work..its coming together.

Oh, so my stock style 58mm one will be for sale soon if anyone wants one.

Ends up instead of the top of the throttle body hitting the engine cover, there is about an inch clearance. Much better.

Yes, found LED taillights to install. They have arrived.
BUT....Waiting now for some repo shells to get here. The backs need cut off, did not want to cut up my original ones.

Went to a car show today.

Seems my 555 trans is leaking here...maybe buy fiber washers and add them?

pull bolts, dab on some anerobic sealer, and re-install.

Did this, just didn't get time for a test.

My new lights have arrived. Waiting on the relays and wiring kit.

Did a test run this evening to see if the trans leak is fixed. Looks MUCH better.
On the test drive I stopped at the parts store to pick up a couple brake hoses for my 93 van.
Here is what I found to park next to.

Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum.

On the way to the dentist appointment yesterday.... I was in the Consulier and pulled up behind a newer Corvette. He kept looking at me out his side mirror. So when he takes off he hauls a--. I try to keep up and to my surprise I did. Wonder what he thought.

If he only knew you had but 4 cylinders, what would he think then?!

[Johnny]

My new tail lights have arrived. Now to cut them up and add the LED parts.
