what parts are know to be crap on the 88 vertable?
so that I can get up to speed and start looking for the parts.
I am thinking the alternators are weak on the cars, this true?
Is the alterantors for sale by the guy on here a good deal or can they be had elsewhere too?
thanks

how did your TB modifications affect idle / etc
BTW, anyone know how to keep the targa portion of the roof from rattling around when the top is closed.. my latches are tight as anything.. but the place where they connect to the rest of the top still rattles around just a little bit.. it drives me NUTS

hey man NICE VERT... and the TB mod was awesome... the idle is nothing to worry about. i just reset the TPS and it runs like a champ... my car has a working warm up procedure you know like when it revs up to 2 or 3k and holds it till it gets warm... occasionally it falls off and dies unless im there to give it some gas (just one tap though) and then it idles at 1k till it warms up just fine... in other words ive had no idle problems and you can see how gutted my TB is lol

Have not found any real weak spots on my '88 vert except the interior plastic.
My top rattles a bit, everything is tight and the weatherstripping is in great shape. I think its just the stiffness of the car, all the additional bracing underneath and behind the seats.

I used to have a 88 vert. What makes it slow is the cat. Intake and straight though (header back) exhaust will make it a completely different car.
I miss my old vert sometimes.
