    Hey guys,

    It's about time i laid down some picks of my '00 GTP. Had a GT years back, totaled , but then I got a GTP about 2 years ago! The person who had it before was not treating her right...Smashed sub, Broken video head unit (with a pack-man game attached...),MSD coils and wires, sun rash ( i think that's what ya call it), and she needed a whole lot of maintenance (nasty oil and coolant to say the least). Time to give ya the journey so far!

    Day 1




    Leather interior, gotta love it!


    You can see the Head unit somewhat...


    Wheels that came with the car. I don't really like them, still looking for a good deal on some alternatives


    The wimpy intake, got my bigger K&N from my GT


    Dem MSDs...misfired like crazy when I bought it


    Sun rash...gotta fix that one day soon


    So last summer engine blew...Culprit was a cracked/chipped piston (looking for the pic cant remember)...SO time to put in another!


    Out she goes


    Engine out


    Me in! That's gotta add like over 9000 HP right!?!?


    Painted the covers turned out good! Got some OEM coil packs


    "New" motor in with my K&N


    Just two recent picks, trans took a crap, but now up and running!




    Now current time:
    Got TOG headers w/ DP from WBody going in this weekend (will post some picks)
    Poly motor mounts going in as well
    Need to get a tune was going to go with Overklill, but looking to find a place that will do an in car tune first. I will drop the pulley to a 3.4 when I do the tune. Next couple things:

    1)Tint
    2)Wheels
    3)Painted
    4)SS break lines (Car came with 04 calipers but might pick up some FBody)
    4)Then working on all the small little mods like clear corners, and what not.

    So that's my baby. Open to any suggestions and tips! Just want to say thanks to you guys for helping me one different threads, I love this forum! Hope you enjoyed

    Chipped piston might be from the smaller pulley already being on there...looks smaller than stock IMO.

    If you haven't...measure it.

    It's good to see a GP gettin a little love... Definitely an in car tune is much better over canned tune. Good luck with it!

    What's up with the sagging rear? Looks like your suspension needs a little work too... Just sayin! : )

    UPDATE: Did the headers this weekend...PITA. having a real hard time bending the trans dipstick w/o pinching...Overall I am happy with it. Added NGK T55s and getting 01 Cobra wheels tomorrow! So i will be putting them on this weekend. I'll put up pics tomorrow. O yeah and the pulley I think is a 3.4 if not a 3.5 (thanks blueguy for the heads up!). Time to recoup money then getting a canned tune because I can't really find a good place nearby (Rockville, MD)

    Just letting you guys know. This car is AMAZING! i feel it sooo much. Also got my first ticket about 5 minutes after feeling the power haha. Warning for spinning tires, ticket for no front license plate lol. At half throttle from a stop, traction just wasn't there, can't wait to get the 'stangs on

    Got the axle fixed and put on my new wheels! Car needs tint (will be my bday present) and a wash I know. I will lower it sometime later, need to recoup my money. Just ordered my Overkill tune, it ships Tuesday, should be here hopefully by Friday. Here are some pics, enjoy!
