I have a 2002 GTP that just rolled over 120,000 miles. I've finished updating a bunch of things to make the car ride what feels like new again including the following;
-Upper/lower intake gaskets & valve cover gaskets
-MAF
-Wheel bearings
-Tie rods
-Control arms
-Brakes
-Sway bar links
-Misc. switches/bulbs (Headlights assembles ect)
-Tires/balance/alignment ect ect..
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of things but I've done 90% of the service myself and get parts slightly higher than a whole sale price. My cost has been around $1200 including the tires and labor. I haven't really modded the car because it's DD. I change the oil every 3K and keep up with everything nicely. The car burns no oil and has no leaks, after 3K the oil still looks really good for the age of the car.
I have the following mods on the car..
-Custom FWI
-Custom boost gauge (I see ~5-6.5 psi)
-res delete (I think it sounds decent, to each his own)
I've just placed 2 orders and to say the least I'm excited
-Headers/no cat
-180* T-stat
-NGK Spark Plugs, 2 ranges colder
-New SC belt
-Rented ZZp's pulley puller
-3.4" Press on pulley + A TUNE!
My cost is ~$420 shipped for everything. Add about $30 for misc clamps/RTV sealant ect..Under $500 installed by me of course.
I've done enough research that I think I have the baseline covered for a solid high 13 sec with little to 0 KR. Stock it went the time listed below. Any suggestions? Everything will be installed next saterday!
