Hey everyone,
I drove 8 hours (4 in and 4 back) to pick up my '02 T/A yesterday and I am VERY pleased with the purchase! Just have a few questions,
Why do the fog lights turn off when the brights go on? Is this a legality issue? If not, can this be fixed easily?
Does the car need 93 octane or is 89 good enough?
How much do tires for it run? Its got QFK - TIRES, P275/40ZR17 SPEED RATED. Just wondering as it looks like they are starting to wear down.
Anyone know a good place to get 41U black touch up paint for the car? I noticed some chips in the hood today.
Is it common for a T/A to have a WS9 Formula Option as well as the Y82 Trans Am Option?
I also noticed that this doesn't have th OD transmission, but the 1,2,3,4. Meaning no more need to switch between gears like my '80s cars?
The guy I bought it from also had a 160 pt inspection done. It found a couple things...
-K&N filter needs to be cleaned est. $54 (inc. kit)
-Left Washer nozzle clogged, poss broken. est $44 poss $60
-Rear differential seaping at vent - normal, no repair ness
-Rear differential seaping at pinion seal est $96
-Torque converter cover around starting missing, no part available
-rear brake pads at 4mm warning area but not needed now
-Front brake pads new. Recommended fuel filter replacement.
Ok, now with that all said, what does seaping mean? Should I have that taken care of? What about the torque converter? I planned on replaceing the rear pads, how much do the rear ones get used? I can hear grinding when I brake, but sometimes if I brake harder, the carstarts turning, like if one side grips more than the other, but it switches sides, so maybe I'll have both front and back checked.
Ok, enough with the novel. Its just this is the closest thing I've had to a "New car" and I want to take care of this one... as well as have some fun with it.
