My name is Brian and I have been restoring a 1990 McLaren Turbo Grand Prix. It had been in storage for 5 years and parked because the PMIII went bad, this is the death of most of these cars. I fixed the system however and the brakes work EXCELLENT! I drive it on my commute 2 or 3 times a week and it runs well. It is a love hate relationship. I love the car, but I hate all the issues it seems to have. Every time I fix something two more things seem to go wrong. I guess I am a gluton for punishment! :lol:

I also have a 1986 Firebird, and a 1985 Tuned Port IROC Camaro. Here are some pics of the TGP.

I look forward to browsing around here and using the resources the site has to keep my car on the road.

Welcome. I'm a sucker for the TGP. I missed a black one a few years ago, and I am so kicking myself for it.

Beautiful!

I'm parting out a black/tan cloth one, PMIII failure and trailing arm mounts are rotted out. Thinking about swapping the powerplant into a Fiero if I can find a good one.

I parted out a black with tan interior TGP last fall to get this one in better shape. I also have almost any spare part now as well. Thanks for the compliments guys.

The STE's are pretty rare, but you are referring to the T-STE which is UBER rare. I've only seen one on craigslist in NY before.

Ah, I didn't realize there was a trim level difference like that. A guy I used to work with had one...it is the only way I know about them. He had modded his some, and it sounded awesome, and looked good, too.
