Just got a new GTP. the strut towers were going on the regal. had to let it go. BUT, I did just get an 03 with solid towers. The rockers have a little rust starting. will probably restore the car this winter, BUT for now I am going to focus on all the crap that has been done WRONG mechanically so far.
The car has an exaust leak. somewhere near the rear manifold or maybe the flex pipe right below it (pretty bad leak). after getting it and driving it home last night I smelt the typical coolant smell. probably will do the lims and replace the coolant elbow with the aluminum one here in the next few weeks.
The car does have "3" inch exaust according to the seller. it doesnt quite look 3" but maybe from the manifolds back. It has a 3.4 pully, but no tune that I can tell. Also still has stock manifolds and "connecting pipe".so headers look to be in the pretty near future and a tune. the heater I found out this morning doesnt work... I swore it worked yesterday, but it was in the 70's when I checked. AC does work...
appears to have a 180 degree tstat according to gauge.
it is semi quick (regal was faster). BUT, there are some mechanical issues that need to get iron'd out before I go romping on it. Got on it one time. afraid of the 3.4 pully with the current lack of supporting features.
couple teaser pics. I will be posting for some help with pulley/mod recommendations shortly in the proper forums.
