Thread: 2000 GTP: Still Alive! New Trans?

Haha^^^ We're putting together what we can inside, mainly just putting the 2 sections together then letting the plastic form to each other (hard to explain). Tomorrow it all begins though. Oh yea, this came in:

Dem toes doe...


I think you should have just gone with the Tuba mounted to the hood for that full ram effect!

Jeff

All these parts and I have yet to see that turbine your throwing on

No turbo on this GP, it's the family wagon so it need to be "reliable" Eventually I might pick up another W of some sort and put a snail on it, but who knows.

My SD spoiler came in today, paint needs some love pretty bad, but nothing I can't handle...I think. Here's some pics of that:



Damaged paint...






Oh and this is happening right now, car stuff happens next weekend, if I have more than 1 day off (this weekend I have 3).


More on that here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...=1#post1414390

Wow that spoiler yeah- needs love! All of it. I got next Friday off myself. Boss gone all week

I figured I'd have to sand the whole thing down and start with fresh black. That's easy enough, I just need to make sure it'll last. I followed all the directions and what not on my dash piece and it still gets all goose bumpy if I don't put the sun shade up. This is a black spoiler, it's gonna see some heat.

Transmission build has officially begun. I bought a 300M input shaft for $300 shipped today.

I told you in chat when you started talking about that shaft i had one sitting in a box.... cheaper than 300 too. noob

You said James was going to get it so I let him have it lol. You have a 7\8" gear set? I don't THINK I'll cross the HP limits of the GXP chains, but I'd like to be better safe than sorry. PM me, I need more stuff lol

James is humping tylers leg for all his parts.

300m is the only stock pile I have unless you want a oem radiator over flow and fans which have 230k on them

Well, turns out the 300M deal didn't fall through like I thought, but I will most likely be selling it, lol. I found a used HPS3 TEP transmission on FB for $700 plus shipping, but it may or may not need a refreshing. It has 3.29 7\8s, 300M input, 3000 stall, etc. I'll be selling the IS and TC as 3000 is to high for me. Then I can turn around and sell some stuff my current transmission that I don't need anymore (4th shaft, upgraded VB\CP, shift kit, etc). I just need to find a somewhat cheaper way to ship the thing. Current quote is $300 + $100 boxing fee. Anyone know of some where else to check out?

Fastenal. I shipped an assembled trans from Tucson to Minneapolis for $185. Got a quote for another. Tucson to Las Vegas for $100. $25 in wood for a crate (I know you can build a crate) and some stretch wrap and you're good to go.

Talk to clay, he just had one shipped to him for a good price I thought, Iirc if you have it shipped to a business address its cheaper.

shipping to a business address is cheaper...

Yea, I'm calling around tomorrow to see what I can't find for cheaper. I'm still getting more information on the transmission itself as well. Oh and I know I can build a crate, but the transmission is in PA, lol. The seller would have to build the crate. Fastenal is calling him back tomorrow with a quote though. How much did it weigh for you Brandon?

I guessed 225lb, and that's what went on the packing slip. No body ever weighed it. Honestly, I think it has more to do with size and distance. I got a revised quote with an increased weight, but smaller size, and the price went down.

Cool cool, he was saying 150 for his quotes. We'll see how that goes, lol. One thing I'm curious about is that this input shaft doesn't look like the other 300Ms I've seen. This is actually the transmission from Smut's old turbo car.


I'll send that pic to Dave in the morning and see what he says, what do you think?

That second shaft is cut down where the one I saw earlier looked solid to the splines
