    Morning Everyone,

    Just bought a 2004 Grand Prix GT for my daily driver not to long ago. Car is pretty clean and has +240k on it. Has a new transmission (less than 10k on it), exhaust, new/ performance ECU, and K&N intake. Car has been well maintained for the most part.



    Few minor fixes with it appears:
    -Exhaust welded and adjusted (remove clamps). The exhaust isn't hanging right so it melted the plastic trim over it. Got a new one, but will have it fixed before I put it on.
    -New front left wheel bearing/ hub.
    -Car needs a little throttle to start sometimes (think the TB came up as a main culprit in a quick search). This appears to be from the EGR.
    -Getting a very bad rattle from the back (passenger side) whenever I hit a bump. I haven't traced this yet, but i'm betting it's from the exhuast or suspension related. Seem to be able hear it even better from the trunk area when the seats are folded down.
    -Driver side front weather stripping coming part below side window. Will have track a new one down or used.
    -Need a new passenger mirror (has some marks on it).







    That's all I can think of for right now... Can't complain that much i guess, only spent $500 on it. Lol... Spend most of my time working on my 68 Volvo wagon right now (pic and build in my sig).

    Thank you in advance for the help and support going forward.

    Thanks,

    $500 gem

    What's the exhaust? Looks like my SLP. Anyway same tips.

    They are way to far back into the car. Mine are tucked but not that far.
    My passenger side, valance tip cutout, is getting a little rough from heat on mine.
