GP #2

[mofford12]

well obviously i just got my second Gt and im iffy on it so far, i guess we dont have a good bond just yet lol

i personally havent taken any pictures yet the photos below are from the CL ad,

i have owned the car for 2 days i believe and well heres the list of things to fix so far

-Valve Cover Gaskets
-Detail Motor
-Tie rods
-Front Left Wheel Bearing (Abs is on due to torn harness)
-Dic isnt on?
-possibly blower motor?
-buy key fob
-Trunk Release button is removed from glovebox.. not sure why
-Window motor in right rear door
-and i have a check engine code for the MAF (didnt write it down)


So Far i have replaced the flange gasket on my exhaust, changed oil, debaged the car, added a double din pioneer, replaced all stock speakers with kickers, ran 2 12 Kicker Cvxs on a audioque 1200...

pictures to come!

Looks like you have a little bit of work ahead of you. In 4 pics....

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Question though, you had $4k right? Could have picked up a GTP with that.

[mofford12]

i wanted to.. but i couldnt find one worth buying.. im jus going to do a top swap

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Oh, carry on then.

[mofford12]

ok so i have no heat.. i pulled my blower motor out and hooked it to the car battery and it started spinning like theres no tomorrow.. so im guessing the resistor is bad?

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Yes, if it only blows on setting 5, then it is probably bad.

[mofford12]

it doesnt blow at all... i started the car the other day and it kicked on then went off

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Hmm, replace both, I had too on my 97 GT.

[mofford12]

well if i go to a local JY how can i tell if its good or not and also what other cars can i get the resistor from? like would bonnevilles, impalas and 04+ grand prixs work?

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

Not sure, I put in new parts.

[mofford12]

well i plan on doing the same just not until i find the issue

[mofford12]

2000 grand prix gtp (West Chester )
planing on picking this up.. they said theyll do 1000 and only has 119000 on it..

[burgundybullet]

F U! haha jk. Thats like a steal at that price whats wrong with it? lol. Musta not used the right gas.

[mofford12]

im not sure whom ever im texting is a dumbass i know that.. regardless tho i can get a motor for 300.. and spend some money on motor upgrades and only be at the 2k mark

[mofford12]

i asked for them to describe the motor issuses and they said " lack of power, doesnt smoke or knock"

[TLSheff]

Probably factory plugs and wires that need to be changed, using 87 octane, and may or maynot need a LIM Gasket change.

I would go drive it and see how it runs and give a good check over. For $1000 you can turn it around really quickly.

[REDCRAPGP]

Hmm so you wanting to keep this one or flip it? Regardless a sweet deal.

[mofford12]

honestly the miles are so low, its supercharged and the color isnt exciting but i like it and the leather is a plus.. i want either a red grey or blue, i might keep it plus its 1000 even if i spend 1500.. thats like me buying a gtp with 119000 miles for 2500 thats a steal.. if it comes to the worst situation it needs a new motor which wouldnt be nothing to do..

[REDCRAPGP]

Has more potential that the green one plus black interior > beige
