    ok i am here i have a 98 grand prix gtp supercharged of course. i have everything stock except for the transmission which was replaced a few years ago. i have had the car sine 2004 and it has 189,000 miles on it and sounds great except for some knocking whcih appears to be coming from the left side of the supercharger. *i think i need to replace the gasket and also the supercharger oil being as though i have never done it since i had the car. the car has new paint its black will post pics when its washed and polished. i want my car to last forever even if the engine goes out i will rebuild it cheaper than buying new.

    ok so i plan on modding my car however i will be driving it everyday back and forth to work so not sure how much modding i want to do or what i want to do. i don't care for flowmaster because i hate the little hondas m,aking all that noise and going nowhere. i do want different exhaust tips i think just to get a nice sound but nothing to crazy, any suggestions would be great.

    i will be doing an oil change this week along with changing my supercharger oil. i will be using mobil 1 high mileage synthetic oil, *first time* and thinking abouyt a k&n oil filter or mobil 1 oil filter. i know k&n is perfomance but will this hurt me to use it? Oh i also filled my dex cool and did a simple fuel injection cleaner before i filled my tank.

    So any ideas on mods would be great, oh also i will be changing my interior as well nothing to fancy jsut a few minor tweaks.

    ok so i guess i rambled on a lil sorry i guess i talk to much!!!

    okay so i did some researched and figured out that the noise i was heaing was not knocking (phew) but in fact it was the supercharger coupling so i will wait to drain/fill my supercharger oil until i have a new coupling, hopefully i can find one locally.
