Thread: OG, back in a Grand Prix!

that's A LOT of work...

FYI, tap shift shifts slower than just leaving it in drive and letting the car do it's work. useless option to me made for fanboi's.

I think trannymanDave tried it.

Couldn't get the wiring to work in a non-TapShift car.

Plus, that's more crap to go wrong IMO.

Tap shift = sucks. Never use mine it's more of a hey look at the awesome paddle shifters he has on his car when someone catches a ride with me..nothing more.

Looks like I may have just bought myself a project then.

2004 Grand Prix gtp parts or whole LOOK! !

Gonna swap the entire harness, modules, engine, trans, ect into the GT Body... It'll give me the HUD I want, 5 button DIC, and tons of other spares. Picking it up tonight for $1500.

Kinda figured TapShift was worthless, but what about the CompG Trans, is that an improvment over the 2.96 HD / 3.29 Non-HD units, will it work without tossing the tapshift stuff in?

Thanks
-Rob

I think all the harness/internals/sensors are different...so it will only work in factory '04+ tapshift equipped car

Watcha doin with the seats? Ive been wanting leather 04+ seats for mine.

Every part I don't use will be for sale soon! What's the going rate on a set of seats?

-Rob

Just so you know, if you swap DIC's the mileage is going to be that of the car you pulled it out of.

Seats can be a couple hundred, but I dont really know.

Seen really nice condition leather 04+ seats...black or charcoal...because no one wants tan...for anywhere $300-$500...but that's front/back/etc.

Tell me about it, I miss thrashing on a car like this:

Without worrying about a $5,000 pile of parts liberating themselves from my trans.

X2 on this. I was offered $400 for mine

Cool, I'll be picking up the car tonight, moving it to my shop on Sunday probably. Damn this project! I forgot how fun it is to work on an inexpensive car! My current DD is an 07 Duramax, and it's just too pricy to play with because it's about a $5000 bill to break anything major... heh

Allison Transmission = $One Quadrillion doll hairs.

Welcome to the site!

Good luck with swapping out the engines!

-Emily

Wow! These aren't in the best of shape, but they're gone for anything more then $250!

-Rob

So how are those seats?

Not too bad, visible wear, but no rips. I'm in Texas this week, but I'll try to snap some pics next time I'm at the Shop.

-Rob

Sounds good. Im laid off right now so monies tight. But im local.
