Now don't hang me, I love my 97 GTP... I'd rather have it than most cars (still hunting a blk 02 WS6 tho). So here are my problems:
-Got an AC leak. Got a job with a marketing firm and I can't show up sweating to death. Gotta have this fixed...
-Driver side window frozen up.
-Coupler for SC. Got the rock-tumbling noise.
-Damn CD player won't play CD's anymore. Will never go without a 7-band equalizer again though, the audiophile in me loves making radio sound like it's playing off a CD. So a direct replacement or an expensive upgrade... Also, anyone do a Double DIN install? It's technically what the radio in is right? I can't find installs for it though...
-I need replacements for EVERY pulley. And reference to good belts (both reg. and supercharger)...
-Door bumper panels have... banana'd? Went from Florida to TN to NC in 2 months and it ruined these! Also ruined my rear tint!
-Been hovering in the middle for my water temp... So I've been told it means my radiator and/or cooling fans need to be replaced. Been seeing rust in my radiator. Mechanic also saying cooling fans aren't coming on when they are supposed to.
-Gas. I've gotten used to getting 25 mpg without the supercharger hooked up and was wondering if there is any way to keep that when it is all fixed... Was 20mpg ONLY if I ran into no traffic. 13mpg if heavy footed. 17mpg average. That mean some other problems?
-My dash (right in front of wheel) has... separated? It happened a while ago. If I want that fixed... I have to replace whole dash, don't I?
-I know I need a new transmission. Not immediately but... Been shifting her manually for a while now. It likes to stick in 3rd if it's in drive every so often. Also, gas mileage is better. I never dog my baby.
-Oil filter protector cover? Mine is pretty thrashed, and touches my wheel if I turn real sharp.
-The leather (or w/e) is starting to come off the doors. Shows at the arm rest part and around the controls (keeps coming out from under it after I prod it back under).
-Do they sell that paint for the lettering on the controls? Wheel and driver door controls are worn.
-Is their any way to make the HUD more accurate? I don't know which is the right speed, and I'm fairly certain 1 or more tickets is because of it. (HUD is ~3mph more)
-Windshield wipers... Any suggestions on a specific kind? (Yes. This is now my checklist)
AC is my big thing. If I can get that fixed on the cheap, then I'm not selling my baby. If it's expensive, then regardless I need to fix window and, seeing as summer isn't around TOO much longer, I might be able to get by with it. OCD is killing me with my paint on right door bumper all lightning(d?) up and the left being... costly in tape to put back on permanently. Anyone 'round me with some parts for the cheap, or maybe some advise? Right now, anything helps. Web links, craigslist, anything. Lot of good memories with my car and I don't wanna see her go.
