Going to the wreckers tomorrow - what should i snag?

**Elite6** · 07-06-2012

Going for a ****ty vacuum tee. What else should i look for? Was thinking of solid lower moulding supports and maybe a gen V if me gets lucky.

2000+ N* TB and MAF w/connectors might be a good idea if you're thinking about a gen V.

Snagged me some mint steering wheel stereo controls (two sets!) last time I went. And the deeper cupholders as well.

I got sfa today, only 2 gtp's and both were ravaged pretty good plus was running into some time constraints. Quite a few burned up rides too. Body were pretty bastardized too.
I am curious about deeper cupholders though, what year was that available?

Aluminum subframe, anything off a Special edition. We once found some aluminum RRs off a special edition in the yard, It had a broken valve spring lol.

Found mine in an '01.

**JoRoW99** · 07-07-2012

I have an 01 and have those crappy flip out cupholders?

**alkygto** · 07-08-2012

^Yeah, but they are deeper than the crappy flip out cupholders in the earlier models. Hell, just goosing it on the highway and my drink would go flying into the back seat.

OP, the only problem I ran into retrofitting was that-

1.) could'nt find any in Taupe so I had to swap my cover

2.) the later covers for the deep cupholders don't have the plastic piece that seals off the inside of the handle so I had to do a little grinding to get my cover to fit. Not a big deal and I could have just removed the inner piece. The only thing I had to do since I swapped covers was pop rivet mine on the new cupholder. If you find one the same color as your interior you won't have to go through any of this however.

I would say it is 3/8" or 1/2" deeper and makes a big difference.

depends on what parts you want to find to use off other cars but I can put a somewhat list of cars dunno what all the parts would swap tho....97-03 gp is same radiator as 97-99 buick regal...97-98 trans sport...97-2000 silhouette....97-2000 chevy venture...99-2000 pontiac montana....mostly these vehicles will cross fit certain parts from each other depending on what you need...hope this helps some....
