Ive posted and read a ton on here, but i never introduced myself. Im Dave, i live in Detroit. I work on my car, play drums, and f my gf. I got my gtp 3 weeks ago: 1997, black on black, 88k miles, got it for 2600$. I bought it at 11pm so i didnt notice it needed body work, also cause it had a bra on it when i got it, covering up a cracked bumper, munched fender, bad paint on hood.
Since i bought it ive done valve cover gaskets, plugs, wires, pcv, thermostat, radiator cap (mine was crushed), oil change (soon to do another (synthetic)), and i flushed my coolant... a few times.
I made my own custom 4" short ram, aluminum piping off amazon for 10$, autozone air filter 25$, 90 degree elbow, 15$.
I tinted my tail lights with vht.
Exhaust tips i got at walmart for 30$ TOTAL!! they were on sale
when i got the car, the guy had cut the tips off so it was just a 2 in long outlet from the muffler, looked like a s s
I have 3 Orion 12"s in a custom box with a 1400 watt Orion Class D Monoblock, and a 3.5 farad cap
I have 10000k low beams w/ a relay harness w/fuses
I have ebay hyper white foglight bulbs that match my headlights
I black housed my headlights last week.
i painted the grey lower part of my front and rear bumper black with some dollar store spray paint and clear
i also did all 4 of my brakes last week, rotors+pads = 140$ on ebay, nice parts too
So... HI all, ive been doing research here since i got the car
so thanks so far and ahead of time
if you live in the d im near tele and ford rd
there seems to be alot of michiganders on here
the picture with my intake, thats a piece of the old intake holding the pcm in place for piece of mind. I have the plastic guard off of the fender well so its almost in that hole but not quite, im going to make a write up on a heat shield for people with short rams and cone filters tomorrow or next week, maybe right now, idk yet
fyi my sub box had to slide down directly into the trunk, at no angle, with some shoving to fit, it takes up my entire trunk... nice and loud pointed towards rear seats
