Nice job guy, its good to see the car come together.

maybe. who knows. i have almost 6 altogether

cb and scanner mounted up. just need to wire everything. i have a powered speaker for the scanner, that i'll use to hear it since it's in a confined space. and i don't need it for the cb since i'll use the scanner to pick up the waves. cb is just to transmit.

this is still pretty rough the way she sits in there. but it'll be refined more.

but finally got the mounts worked out

1997

Master cylinder/fuild reservoir setup is different than on newer years
Antenna on rear fender instead of in rear window on most 97’s
Unique PCM for this year only, removable chip making case learn unneeded
Large windshield washer fluid reservoir on top of battery
Alternator and mount is different than the newer years
Coolant temp display in the car starts at 100
* The 97s DO NOT have tire pressure sensors. The 97s have the Delco Delphi ABS system, which could not handle the GTP power for TCS. So TCS was disabled on the 97 GTP, but works on the GT and SE. The "Tire Pressure" light was part of the Delphi ABS system; it did not sense pressure but noticed differences in tire rotation speed. When the Delphi was replace with Bosch, TCS was enabled but the "tire pressure" light was lost.
* Some of the 97s had a prop rod instead of struts to hold up the hood. Some had under hood lights, too. The under hood lights were phased out after the prop rod, so some (few) have both struts and an under hood light.
* Rear fender mast antennas were common for 97s because they ran out of rear window antennas at the factory. Those with mast antennas were credited $15 on the sticker.

Transmission input shaft is a little stronger from a better O-ring groove radius
Complex EVAP system that uses an extra part not found on newer GPs
M90 has an extra vacuum port

just the zzp catback

tried it out w/ plastidip before i took the plunge w/ bbq paint. rustoleum actually make a pretty nice product, and this is semi gloss vs flat


here is before



after



i'm glad i did it this way. i was flip flopping for a few hours yesterday. but owell

Just a thought, if your going to "murder" the car out, you need to tint the tails to match

I prefer the chrome tips to the black ones, looks like there isn't any exhaust in the picture, but if you can actually see them in person it wouldn't be as bad

my tails are already being done by flip. i had that setup the 2nd day i owned the car.

and the tips you can see in person, its just the camera angle was a little weird.

also flip has a bunch of stuff that he is doing for me.

Yeah tint those tails, make yours look like this one(:
Found this on a website, looks amazing.
