Thread: Anna Nicole...my 97 GP GT :(

Thanks Brian. Yeah, it's pretty sad. I've got so many parts on and for this thing...it just sucks. I didn't even install the roof rails or SE wing yet.

To give you an idea what's with the car...

Engine:

97 L36 block, 99 L67 heads slightly ported, HS 1.6 roller rockers, XP cam, Crow 105# springs, JP single roller timing chain, Gen V, ZZP/Intense MPS with 3.0, 3.2, and 3.4 pulleys, Lucas 42.5 injectors, WBS full stack IC, Bonnie coil setup, Powerbond 8 rib, Bonnie alternator, ZZP IC pump controller, N* throttle body, Aeroforce wideband, SLP headers, GMPP exhaust, and I'm sure there's other stuff

Trans:

Getrag 284 5 speed, machined flywheel (needs to be machined thinner yet), GM 4T60e axles, modified harness (needs to be cleaned up,) SPEC Stage 3 clutch

Interior:

Modified stock cluster to remove PRND321, HUD pod with dual Aeroforce, HUMOUNT "Grand Prix GT" with JVC KD-AVX77 deck, Massive Audio Stage III components up front, Massive Audio LX4 and LX69 in rear, JL Audio 300/4 for interior speakers, (2) JL Audio 12w6v2 subwoofers in sealed box, JL Audio 1000/1v2 for subwoofers, auto dimming rear view mirror with compass, modified stock shifter trim for 5 speed...and I'm sure there's more

Exterior:

Custom hood (available separate,) SE roof rails, SE trunklid with spoiler, retrofits (not completed but come with the car and need bulbs and ballasts IIRC)

Suspension:

12" brake upgrade, GMPP rear sway bar, Dorman solid front sway bar, GM strut tower braces, Sprint front springs & SSC rear springs (not installed but come with...chosen for ride height and spring rates,) new trailing arm brackets, rebuilt rear strut towers, and other things I'm sure I'm forgetting

The body on the car has been cleaned up...all rust was cut out and repaired...the undercarriage was done in a mixture of rust proofing things...it will never rust again unless it's from the inside out. Just figured I'd throw out a list of mods for those unfamiliar.

The flywheel is machined too thick and needs to be milled down a little more for proper clutch engagement. I can get the clutch to slip if I'm really trying. The trans makes noise in 5th...enough to set off the knock sensors. That's the reason for the necessity of the trailer.

There are some pics in my build thread. The car isn't in paint either but the body is straight.

The car is all set for the 284...simple trans replacement. For a 282 from a 88-90 GP, it's only a few minor changes to the shift cables and a different clutch. The 6 speed from the G6 requires a bunch more fab as well as some aftermarket axles which is why I decided to not go that route.

Bump...bump bump.
