What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again?!

Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

I like the idea, and would be willing to pay in the $100 to $140 range for a "purist" set as well.

I'd love to see the brochure poster remade without the folds in it..........

Seems everytime one pops up on Ebay I end up getting out bid, which one of you suckers is to blame for that?!?!? LOL :teehee:
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

I'll jump on the bandwagon too!! I still have the originals on my car also. I did locate a new/sealed in the bag A/C Delco stock replacement wires, but they don't have the 20th Anniversary logo on them. I bought them to put on anyway & pack away the originals.

Here's what a set with a 45 degree spark plug boot looks like Mallory Ignition 947 - Mallory Pro Sidewinder Spark Plug Wire Sets - Overview - SummitRacing.com


And a photo of my wires, I used a heatshield on them so can't see the boot but at least this is with the 3" downpipe so gives an idea why this is needed.

So I see 3 sets needed:

1. Bone stock size and look
2. As 1 but with 2 & 4 having 45 degree plug boots
3. As 2 but thicker wires

New technology but "old" OEM look wires would be great

What about the following items:

- A/C line assembly (from compressor)
- Engine Oil Dipstick and tube
- Transmission Oil dipstick and tube
- Y bracket and L bracket for the generator and A/C compressor
- Flat bracket for the boost solenoid (on passanger side valve cover)
- L shaped bracket for the fuel lines on the driver side valve cover

Note the following been reproduced already and avalible from classic tube:
- Transmission oil cooler lines
- hard fuel lines running to the fuel rail
- Powersteering pump U shaped hard line (on pump) and the line (soft) tot he steering pump
- Power steering cooler lines (under front bumper)
... all above in either OEM steel or stainless
- And most of the factory stickers on parts been reproduced as well ... latest is the sticker on the fuel filter (just got it) ...

I would really like to see those little flat plastic pieces where the upper arm rest attaches to the door reproduced. I have one that is gone and one that is cracked.

What about seat belt retainers and those little rubber pieces that keep the seatbelt retainer together. Mines about to tear.

- The two throttle body coolent rubber hoses

- Modine Engine Oil Cooler + the two coolant hardlines to and from the oil cooler

- VSS sensor for the transmission

- Get Denso in Japan to do the tach/turbo gauge

- Engine Wire Harness

- Coolant bottle heat shield (yes I've seen them being sold on ebay)

- Turbo Vacuum Solenoid (passenger side valve cover)

What about stock style engine mounts but in polyeurthan ... so identical but the rubber being poly ...
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

The engine oil pan drain plug correct "none hex head" style ....
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

I would definitely be interested in a stock set and a hi-perf set..............
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

Any updates on this? It would be nice to take the originals off and put them away.
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

Yes they are just about 90% go. I think what's going to happen is when the supplier is just about ready to punch them out we'll do a pre-order on the boards here. Web site is being built now to handle the orders. You'll go on the site order and once a certain amount is ordered they will be completed. The over head is too much to pre-make so many sets. So trying to keep the price down as low as possible giving you guys the best quality there is, it will be a pre-order thing.

You "should" all be able to have these on your car by the TTA reunion next year! :)
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

I'm in for at least 1 set, possibly 2 depending on price
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?

Where do I place my order lol

Just standard sets or also sets that fit the 3 inch downpipe (so 2 and 4 with angled plugs?)

Got money ready lol
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again

I would like something that can get around a 3inch downpipe as well
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again

Looks like a standard set will come out first stock OEM replacement style and if they sell well (and I'm sure they will) some thicker and longer where needed "race" wires will come out with the printing on them. We will have to make sure we show Scott Kelly in Ohio next year the proper length and thickness everyone likes.
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again

OEM length and thickness is fine by me however the two front (passangerside) boots need to be 145 degrees or something like that not to hit the DP at the plug end ....
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again

Philly.....economically.. if your friend could envisage selling about 50 sets in the next 2 years.. at say $150 per set .. . exact spec wires with GM approval and Licensing royalities. would that cover costs..?? I have one NOS set as well .. a fresh set could be installed for the heck of it..... but driving the '89 maybe 3000 miles in 5 years.. and being personally over 50 years old.. what's likely going to break down first...??

Just to bring this back to the top and add some to it. I spoke with Scott Kelly tonight and he is still going to make 2 sets. A bone stock set just like the originals and a modified set with the 90 degree boots. He is going to talk more about this at the reunion and give an update on the project. He basically wants the input of everyone to make sure they are right and he can sell them to break even as the project will cost a bit to do one run of them. So be ready to ask him about these wires when you see him at the reunion! But he is going to do them. Like fine wine everything takes time and Scott is anal about it being perfect for us! :thumbup:
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again

Great reminder Jim, I know there is a need for the wires.

I could use a set and alot of others could too. He will have several customers.
 
Re: What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAND NEW again

I got a lot in with Scott talking to him tonight and that was one of the major things I thought about! :) I told him I'm going to let you guys pick him apart for these wires! So he was pre-warned! :)
