    Hello everyone,
    My name is Scott, and as you can tell, i am new to this site.
    I recently purchased a 97 Grand Prix Gt for a daily driver.. but as with any car I own, I have/had to make it my own. I bought it needing a drivers knuckle.. fixed that and now she runs and drives great.
    Currently the car is all stock minus the wheels. Picked up a set of Sorvano S5 20s and put on it the day it made it to the driveway. Now i am looking for me some lowering springs and would like to do a gtp top swap, but really could use a little guidance on what all id need to do.
    This def isnt my first time with modding a car, i also have a fully built stage 3 ported rotary 2004 RX8GT with Greddy turbo kit running 20 psi boost, a Mazdaspeed Protege that i am in the process of building.. again... and ive had several others in there as well..
    i am in ohio, a small town near the WV border called Belpre.
    ive attached a photo of the car. any input would be appreciated. thanks

    Hey,

    There are some very useful threads on this forum for both the top swap & lowering. Go into the 3.8 naturally aspirated section and you will see a sticky on top swaps. That will get you started....also i'm sure somebody who has completed these jobs will add further specifics if needed. Have fun.

    Nice looking car, for sure.
