    I've gotta say, after all the pain and frustration my '98 GTP has given me, I'm glad to have found a place where I can fit in with my fellow car lovers and learn a lot at the same time.

    Want to hear about my car problems? Here's a list:

    Blown LIM gasket
    Bad S/C coupler & bearings
    Blown tstat
    Blown heater core
    Bad fuel injectors or pullies (something is clicking; I have yet to take off the belts and test for the sound though. Gets faster when I accelerate.)
    Burning up tranny (previous owner never changed the oil. It's dark brown and trans is starting to slip and slam into gear.)
    Throttle is sticking sometimes
    Vaporlock issues
    No A/C
    Rear passenger door lights are out (bad fuse, perhaps.)
    Panels in the interior are loose (door frames, sunroof control panel, etc.)
    TAC button doesn't work
    Front sway bar stabilizer link is busted
    Trans coolant, engine coolant, and P/S coolant are low/dirty/old/rusted
    Front driver's side headlight is busted at the threads (I keep having to hot glue it together, only to find the headlight flying all over in front of my car while driving on the freeway. LOL!)

    As if this wasn't enough...

    Rear trunk lid is misaligned
    Rear driver's side tail-light has water damage
    Exhaust is cracked and leaking by the cat
    ABS wires are frayed and split in the rear tires (although ABS sucks so I could care less about that)
    Parking brake wire is disconnected or broken

    etc,etc,etc,

    SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? WORTH THE $3K AND 180xxx MILES ON IT?! HAHA!

    Anyway, I hope to begin tackling these issues one by one and clearing this list. My family has told me to get rid of this car as it's a burden, but I find it incredible for knowledge. I'm attending college in the winter for automotive, so it's a good start. I want to eventually restore it up to par and master the arts of inside the engine so I can someday buy a Trans Am and do some awesome 350 GEN II modding. Someday. :P

    Hello all GP owners! Nice to be here with you guys!
