Thread: 98 gt idaho...

hi everyone, i am a first time grand prix owner. 98' gt. i love the car so far, not sure what i can do with it but there is a lot of buzz about different mods and things that can be done. anyway, 3.8, 105k miles. i have noticed a few things that i need to address with the car. i had a few mechanics who are good friends look at the car before i bought it and they said it looks to be ok. however after a month i noticed my coolant light came on and after checking, i found bars leak in the radiator it goes off after a couple minutes. probably coated the contacts on the sensor is my guess. anyway, i don't know much about this car except it has just enough get up and go to get me interested in what, fairly inexpensive mods i can do to make it faster... i guess beyond that i am here just to see what others are doing and learn some more about my gt.

Welcome. I just joined the other day, myself. I also just bought a 1998 GT with 87k, and it is my first Grand Prix, as well. I hope you enjoy it, because I have had mine for just over a week, and I absolutely love it. Mine needs a lower intake gasket, oil pan gasket, rear brakes, and I just noticed the ends of the sway bar are starting to separate, so I'm gonna replace that, too. Then, the mods can start. Once again, enjoy the ride!

Lolololol I bought mine with 212k
