Thread: Jenny (Picture Heavy)

Figured it was about time I made a thread for the whore that steals all my money.


And I think I'll start at the beginning...
In August 2010, ater grenading the Transmission on my Cavalier Z24, it was time for a new car, so as I combed through the vast world wide interwebs, i stumbled upon a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, at a Dealership, with 81,926 on the clock and in immaculate condition. the car ended up being at a BMW dealership of all places... after some debating, and me telling them that they could shove the $800 'documenting fee' in a particular place, I drove her home.
Paying cash makes life easy

The First day:



the other love of my life... i do really miss that Cavalier..



Soon after, then came the red:




Thats about the time when my crew first came together:




Eventually the Coolant and Oil decided to mingle and become friends which came the dreaded LIM gasket install which i ended up cleaning everything and replacing everything there was!
All this regained power envoqued something i like to call "Racecar mode!" and thats when Jenny got her name.





you could eat off of that engine, it was sooo clean after i got done with it..


As that all settled down then came the Infamous dent.

(in a nutshell, put it in 'park' ran inside, came back out and the car was down the street and into a tree and thats the resulting damage.)
Which I later followed up with some primer and some Taillight tinting with a personal Flair






Not too much followed after that, just lived the normal life a GP owner delivering Pizzas..


then came the first GPF meet!






As time went on, i found some nice places for pictures:








And because i hit the picture cap...

Then came the wheels..
was planning on Plastidipping the spokes black, but i love how close to a color match they, so silver they stay.





then figured it was a good time to take her down the strip for our first time, and to also establish a decent baseline before the bigger mods come.

For a stock GTP, don't think i did too bad, and i told myself i wouldn't leave there without breaking into the 14's.
& just incase your wondering... I beat a foxbody.

Summer came around again. and I experimented with electrical tape lol


Then came LOW.





Love that.....Stance.


And that should about bring us to about where she is now..














Current Mods:
GMPP front Sway bar
FBody front calipers with crossed drilled/slotted rotors and Ceramic pads
SS Lines
HAI
Chuddy Panda Tune
Eibach Springs with KYB Excel G(front) GR2 (rear) shocks
SLP Catback exhaust.

In the very near future:
Ported Throttle body
Fresh Chubby Panda Tune
TransGo shift kit.

And in the later future:
Triple Edge performance Trans.
Pacesetter headers
3.4 pulley.
1.9 roller rockers.

then after that, just a few here and there mods, but she'll be good for a while.


I hope you all enjoyed my history lesson.

This years calender is already filling up with some pretty awesome events and such so it should be a great year to be a Grand Prix owner!

Nice car man! I really enjoyed reading all of that too, and just curious....was it hard to get under that bridge by the train tracks? Lol

i have a few more pictures from that photo op.

but yes.
its right next to highly active NJtransit lines, so it was a quick in-&-out sort of deal lol

About time you made a thread for your car. Nice progress mang!

why does it feel like I was there for all of this thing? oh wait...I was. Especially the LIM where it sat in my drive for weeks on end. and the ideas of your taillight tinted words...and and and...














<3 the car though

Like i said man, it she definitely would not be where she is today without a lot of help from my GPF and JC3NJ family!

Awesome history lesson, all on one page, better than 45 on mine LOL. Still really like the center cap overlays.

Nice..can you clean up the engine though. It looks like a mess of wires etc.

Have u been to track with new setup?

Got stickers custom made from reflective concepts then tinted over them, and pulled them off

Clean ride!

Didn't want to jinx you... but any Jen I knew always ended bad.
