Just got a 99 GP GT(sweet price) to use as a commuter car. But I don't know how to own a vehicle and not do anything to it... So here I am!
I had a 93 GA GT that I replaced the blown 3300 with a 3800 out of a buick. It was a $600 car and was tons of fun to drive, got great mileage and was awesome in the snow.
Replaced that with an 08 GP base model, 3800 of course. Again, great car, only issue was the air pump garbage got flooded out driving though some high water, but a ZZP ecm fixed that! But it also made my fuel gauge backwards....Worth it.
For this car I've already ordered F-body calipers and rotors/pads, They'll go on tomorrow(hopefully).
I've ordered some parts from zzp, mostly maintenance type stuff. Oil volume kit, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, plugs, coolant elbows, and thermostat. I'll probably order a trans shift kit, pan gasket, and fuel filter from W-body store.
I am going to build my own FWI, since I can't justify spending 200 bucks for a 30 filter and some pipe....
A downpipe and an ECM are next on the list. I'd like to do headers, but I don't know that I'll be able to convince the wife that even a 500 set of headers is necessary...All this ~$100 stuff I can sneak in without her noticing much.... but 500 bucks probably wouldn't go over well, lol.
Future plans involve lowering, strut tower braces, maybe impala police suspension stuff, sway bars, trailing arms, etc. Have to check my junkyards for that stuff...
anyway. I'm on here tonight looking into parts for my FWI. I'll be around.
Boise, ID area fwiw.
