'04 Comp G - took a stiff one in the rear

**PaintChips97** · 01-25-2016

Got my rebuilt ABS module today and hooked it back up, every single warning light is now off the gauges and DIC. Couldn't believe it, it fixed everything. Also got these today

**PaintChips97** · 01-28-2016

Coming to a stoplight today, the front end started grinding and popping bad, and when I came to a stop the car wouldn't move forward. Went into gear fine, but when I'd hit the gas it'd rock forward but not move. Tried reverse and it worked, so I backed up down the highway and into a gas station. Having it towed tomorrow. CV joint, maybe? Trans doesn't seem to be the problem.

Stopped by the car yesterday to check it out, and well, I found the problem

**Scottydoggs** · 01-30-2016

lost a caliper bracket bolt did ya?

**PaintChips97** · 01-30-2016

Yep, don't know how it happened. Ordered 2 new ones from Federated, putting it back together today and putting a little more loctite on the other 3

I lost one too last year. Hit a bump and boom gone. I torque everything to retard strength when I did my brakes

Mine is torqued to girlfriend stealing the blanket strength with new thread lock on all bolts lol

**PaintChips97** · 01-30-2016

Did some cleaning up since it was so nice out, too

**BoostedPontiac** · 01-31-2016

I really want that Daytona lol

**rottonj** · 01-31-2016

Very nice car. You have to get a set of strut bar braces on that thing, it really makes a big difference. Best 28 bucks ever spent.

Edit,I see the holes, you probably have them lol.

**PaintChips97** · 01-31-2016

The Daytona is a bit rough, virtually no rust anywhere but it's been beaten half to death lol and it's weird, the car came with the holes pre-drilled and everything, but no bar. I'm ordering a BMR front and ZZP rear when I get the chance

**rottonj** · 01-31-2016

Its doubtful you will notice any difference at all buying a much more expensive front adjustable bar over the GM. Just my 2 cents, the holes are there use the GM bars it will make a big difference for under 30 bucks for 2. BTW someone drilled those, it didn't come with a bar from the factory.

**PaintChips97** · 01-31-2016

The holes came that way from the factory, my grandma bought it new. I really just want the BMR front bar to look nice, and the ZZP rear to fit nicely without drilling or extra brackets, I know it won't make much difference if any

Would you consider selling the daytona?

**rottonj** · 01-31-2016

Hmm, never seen them on a 2004 Grand Prix from the factory. They didn't come on my 04 Comp G that's for sure.

Sorry, the Daytona is my sister's car. Trust me, if it was mine, it'd have an SD hood and an SLP gen 1 spoiler on it by now lol

Does your car have 2 sticker type things next to the strut towers? If so, the holes are under those.

**BoostedPontiac** · 01-31-2016

I figured it didnt hurt to ask lol. Ive been looking for a Med. Gulf Blue daytona for the past year.

**PaintChips97** · 01-31-2016

There was one in better shape than this one (body wise, anyway) in Chicago for months for like $1800

**PaintChips97** · 01-31-2016

Buy the one for sale on here! Swap the Reagal motor and trans into it and go lol

**rottonj** · 01-31-2016

No it doesn't, I drilled mine. I would be curious to know why yours have them, but they never installed the bar. That makes no sense, seen the bars on lots of older cars although never on 04+ Grand Prix from the factory.
