Hi, I'm Joe from South Africa. I have a 1980 Trans Am (Please se Tech board for my questions), a 1981 Camaro Z28 as well as a stock standard 1954 Chevy 210 Sedan.
Great site!!!

Hi, thanks for all the welcome's. The weather is great in South Africa, we're in autum at the moment, moving fast towards the winter but here in SA our car show season is more in the winter beacause it is not so warm and less chances of rain, but we can show and shine pretty much through out the year. I've posted pics of my cars in the Gallery, so check them out.

Welcome to all those joining in on the fun here!

Knightrider88ta - this is mainly a 2nd generation site. You might want to check in on www.thirdgen.org to see about any power adders for your specific car. Generally speaking a free flowing exhaust and intake are your two best friends.

Welcome to 78ta Phil, glad to have you aboard.  We do have a resident 3rd gen'er named Jeff, I'm sure he'll pipe in on your car.  Post up some pics when you get a chance.

Welcome to 78TA.com, Phil.  We have some gen 3 owners here who can help you, but as Brian says most of us are gen 2 owners.  Jeff (79ws6resto) is currently working on a gen 3 so I'm sure he'll be better able to comment.  But post us up some pics of your ride -- we LOVE pictures (all of us that is except Jeff, who is merely extremely fond of them) :) ;)

Welcome Phil

Sorry but I'm just working on cosmetics for the '82 right now so I'm not much help (learning as I go on this one :-\ )...I'm sure someone will chime in though if you don't find your answers on the 3rd gen forum Brian recommended ;)
