We have a new and improved club message board. You can access through the club website at http://www.firebirdtaclub.com/ or directly at board.firebirdclub.net. We have a members only section of the message board. You can use the user id and password on page 3 of each Eagle or you can get a personal id and password. To do so, register and then logon to the message board and send a message to us with a reply in this section or via email. This allows you to access the MEMBER ONLY QUESTION & ANSWER and UPKEEP & PERFORMANCE HINTS area. It also allows you to post items in the FOR SALE and WANTED sections as well as post photos in the MEMBER PHOTOS area.

The club also now has a blog located at blog.firebirdclub.net. Members can publish items or comments to the Blog.

We have a National Firebird & T/A Club photo gallery located at photos.firebirdclub.net. The same login is used for the gallery as the Message Board. Members can download photos directly here.

We now offer eMembership at a reduced rate of $20 per year. This membership offers the eEagle and on-line access to the “Members Only” section of the website which includes on-line versions of the Eagle, tech staff contacts, member shop recommendations, etc. No membership materials will be mailed to this type of member.

Classified ads are FREE to members but now you can add photographs of your items for sale. For $15 we will include a B & W photograph of your car or item and for $35 we will include a color photo. Also the classified ads will now appear on our Internet web site.
We are still looking for additional technical staff people. If you would like to join the technical staff, please contact us.

Remember we will send out the eEagle, our email newsletter in addition to the regular Eagle for members that have given us their email address. Our website address is http://www.firebirdtaclub.com/ and our email address is info@ firebirdtaclub.com. The website has a “Members Only” section on the web site. This section contains technical staff contact information, recommended repair shops, spare parts lists that members have sent in as well as complete current and past issues of the member magazine which can be viewed on-line or downloaded for printing.

You need an ID and password to access this area. You will find the current ID and password on page 3 of each issue of the EAGLE. These will change with each issue so use only the current ones listed.

Thanks for all of your support and to this issue’s contributors and I hope you are getting ready for the driving season!!
