welcome to the forums, glad you liked the car so much you bought one yourself!

Yuck yuck yuck, I am not a fan of 97's. they have been terrible for me. yet i have 2 of them....
05-04-2010
Lol why whats so bad about the 97's? This one attracted me because the engine only has 25k on it and it has some basic mods. The only problem is that the drivers side rear quarter panel is banged up but it can be fixed for a fair price. I bought this car for 1100 which is a steal considering the condition of the the car mechanically. The body of the car has 120xxx miles on it but it is in beautiful condition besides the damage on the drivers side.

I don't know much but I'm awake and your awake so why you wait for someone who knows more, from what I understand their transmissions are weaker and break more often haha thats all I got.

how rude of me though welcome to the forum
05-04-2010
Lol thanks

I'm in school right now lol I should be paying attention but oh well i'd rather talk about gp's!! Thank god i'm graduating in a month

Congrats on the car and welcome! Drummer by any chance?
05-04-2010
^ hope so. i don't know any other uses of the name.
welcome OP
05-04-2010
Its a GTP, so the transmission shouldn't be much different. The 97 GT's and SE's came with the old tranny.
05-04-2010
Yup I'm a drummer! Lol I actually sold my drum kit to help me buy this car =( but it was well worth it =D
05-04-2010
sounds like you got a pretty good deal on it. 97's had some weird little quirks about them, making some parts not compatible with older years. mainly only a headache when something goes wrong or you look at performance upgrades. it'll be great for a DD. probably a stupid question, but whoever swapped the motor did put a supercharged one back in right? lol. sorry about having to sell the drums but i'm sure you'll enjoy the car just as much. welcome to the forums
05-04-2010
Thanks lol! And yea he kept the original supercharger from the 1st engine. It has a smaller pulley on it and running 12psi of boost but i'm not sure what size pulley it is i guess i could go out and measure it but im too lazy rright now haha.
05-04-2010
oh... probably a good thing you mentioned that. you're gonna want to know the size of it. if he just put a smaller pulley on the supercharger with nothing else, you might be knocking. is there anything else done to the motor, mainly headers or a downpipe?
05-05-2010
It has a zzp pcm,180* t-stat, intake, smaller pulley, resonator delete, u-bend delete, high flow cat, and a high flow flowmaster hushpower muffler.

Gooooooodd lol

you still might wanna see if somebody has a scanner around you just for safety measures. a lot of times guys will get a set of headers or a powerlog and downpipe with a setup like that. the most restrictive part of the exhaust with these cars is the front manifold and downpipe. the tune and other exhaust mods that you have are definitely helping though
