    Howdy. Name's Graham, just bought a 2001 GTP coupe. Runs great, last driver used synthetic oil only, premium gas, nicely maintained. I'm in Calgary canada, so the winters are rough. But the factory zip is still on the heater cord. It's always been garage kept. 115,000Km. My mom has a '99 sedan. Kindda how i started lookin g at 'em. Hers has a performance shift, mine doesn't, is it fairly easy to put one in? I'm also thinking of new struts and rims, because the one's on it now are damn ugly. Glad i don't have to look at em when im drivin. Anyway, thought i'd join up and see if any of the pros can give a rookie a few tips and hints or even suggestions, the thing is stock right now. my one buddy says save up for an inter-cooler. exhaust and rims. keep everything else stock. whaddaya think of that?
    Cheers guys!

    If you don't like messing with wiring PFYC.com sells a Performance Shift upgrade which was the first thing that I did to my car minus the craptastic EBay intake and U-Bend Delete...get a intercooler, headers, a damn good tune and drop to a 3.2" pulley...good for 12's IMO if you know how to drive it
