Thread: Need help with problems

Hey guys I looking to buy a 98 gtp fully loaded with 160kms for around $2500. At a glance it seems like a good deal to me but i took it for a test drive and it seems to have a few issues. 1) the brakes need to be replaced because they are ****. 2) it has a custom exhaust that sounds like it has a leak. and 3) the engine shakes the entire car. So i'm not so worried about number 1 and 2 so much but number 3 has me worried. I inspected the car pretty decently and the engine shakes and kind of makes a knocking sound that seems to be coming from the supercharger. ANY opinions or analysis would be appreciated! thanks guys

I would check the engine mounts.

That's what I was thinking, but there is still a slight knocking sound in the supercharger area

please expand! haha i'm really hoping it's nothing major

yup you guys nailed it i think. so i got bad brakes, possible exhaust leak, and this coupler. how much do you guys think all this would cost me?

my brother seems to think that the engine shaking at idle could be a bad cylinder. what do you think?

Well hopefully the guy wont mind me taking it to a parts store to check codes but if there arent any codes does that rule out the cylinder?

thanks guys but i think i'm just going to pass on this one.
