Hello to all! I have been a member here for quite sometime now but I have never created a member thread of my own. I started off with an 05 GP Comp G and decided that the payments weren't worth it anymore so I sold it and bought a 97 GP GTP bright red ... here are some pics of the old car then pics of the new car with details of what I have done to it since I purchased it 2 months ago...
2005 GP Comp G
Sold the car to carmax for 7k and bought me the following:
1997 Grand Prix GTP with 140k original miles , I believe im the 4th owner and car was completely stock other than a cheap-o intake purchased from ebay.
Car was found off craigslist in Las Cruces NM ( I live Chandler AZ) contacted the guy that I was interested and he reduced the price from $2500 to $1600 so I had to jump on it . My dad lives in El Paso TX, so he picked it up for me and I then flew to EL Paso and brought the GP home all in one day.
I knew that I would need to do a LIM job and other things before I could drive it daily. My dad's truck came handy in order to be working on the GP.
I want to make sure all the mechanical stuff is taken care off before I do any visual upgrades
Here is a list of things I have done..
-LIM gasket removal
-New LS lifter
-180* stat
-SD Headers
-New solid motor mount
-Ported 98 blower case (by Reptile)
-Overkill PCM
-3.4 smoothflow pulley

-New Ecopia tires (love this tires)
-New tie rod ends
-New control arms
-Rerouted vacuum lines to fit 98 case
-New silicone vacuum lines
-Installed used driver mirror(old was broken)
-Flushed out the dexcool and put in some green stuff
-Poly Mounts (Greg Badass)
-Upper round mounts by Intense
-TransGo shift Kit
-Fixed AC compressor and AC(AC was not working)
-Cherry Bomb resonator
-Magnaflow Cat
-AEM dryflo Intake 9"
-AL 605's
-Taylor 8.8 mm wires
