Ken: Thanks...that looks like about what I have. I got no instructions or help with the piece so if you could answer these questions it will really help me out. The piece I got is an aluminum strip of metal with a small rolled lip and 4 holes. The strip is slightly bowed in on the lip side.

Ken: How bad was your sag? :D Mine sags about 1 1/2" down and it takes a lot of pressure to push back into place. I have the cheap aluminum piece but it doesn't feel strong enough to hold it. When you riveted it can you see the bottoms of the rivets while standing behind the car? I though about...
If I may butt in here...I am experiencing some minor problems with my 4+3. When at a dead stop I sometimes have a real problem going into 1st or reverse occasionally. Most of the time it's no problem. Also, it is not a problem at all to shift into 1st while still moving...it only seems to happen...
Things to look for on an '87
-hows the 4+3 working? Easy in/out throughout the gears? Go to boost in 4th to see if clutch slips.
-Look for signs of rust around the intercoolers and surrounding area. The '87s can allow water in the hood when run in heavy rain.
-Check the VIN with Joanne...
I think it's more a case of both views being close to the truth. We have very collectible cars...some of which are driven pretty regularly and some of which are in very pristine condition. I think there are those people out there that will pony up for the very pristine car if they really want it...
It does sound like a rivet, now that you mention it, but it's not a pop-rivet. The head is the exact same black color as the other screws and the head is just about the same size and thickness of a dime.
If you're referring to the 10mm bolt under the gill panel that holds that body panel in place...that's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to a screw visible from inside the wheel well, and is used to secure the inner wheel well lining in place. The screws run along the outer edge and...
I need to remove the inner wheel well from my '87. All the screws that hold the wheel well lining to the body panel w/gills are Torx and those I can get off. However, the very bottom screw on each side is not like the other Torx screws. This screw has a flat head and what appears to be a hole in...
Congratulations and welcome to the club...it's pretty exclusive. Tell me...how long did it take to wipe the grin off your face after feeling the turbos pulling at highway speeds? Or...is it gone yet? :D :D
I have some responses on CF. See link below. Does anyone have a production TT < #092 in '87 that could provide some help with the emblems. Stan? TIA

I heard that some original owners of Callaway TTs took the B2K emblem out of their cars as souveniers. Because the '87 doesn't have a lot of badging I never thought about the fact that I didn't have any badge on the console. J Mercer at Callaway says I can purchase one from them.
Does anyone...
On my '87 the exhaust are not the same style as the intake so my mechanic changed them when I wanted to get rid of the blue puff. The intake seals are a better design.
Which part of the seat has the support--the bottom or top or both? Neither my passenger or driver pumps work--I don't hear any sounds and was wondering if it's worth it to fix them. I suppose I should check the fuses to make sure it's not a burnt out fuse. Does the lumbar support help the feel...
Re: 87's w/ the Megaphones
:D :D :D
Mine has no precats, Random Tech hi-flow cat, no mufflers and megaphones. The sound is loud and gutteral at low revs and downright mean at 2200 and up. I literally never listen to the stereo in that car. I do have resonance at 1700 rpm exactly. It's only...
