Thread: 02 GTP Broke but tryin

Welp, due to lack of resources and the given amount of rust, I just put the spoiler back on (after draining it) with rubber - ish spacers I made from cutouts I kept from the factory. So it's moderately lifted, and it's not gawdy, but it (as well as many other areas on the car) definitely needs to be completely redone if I want the rust gone and the paint smooth/correct.

Now to get my damn Aeroforce to work :/ it's got me dumbfounded.
From what I've found it needs to be replugged or it won't display, it'll just flash at me, despite what fuse I'm using (or whether it's connected to a fuse at all).

And I ran into an issue while putting an aftermarket radio in as well, so I'm just trying to figure these things out one free-day at a time.
The connectors on the GMOS-4/steering-wheel-control module don't hook up to the stock radio harness, and I can't find an adapter of sorts between them, so I'm mildly confused as to how I should/could make it work.

In the car: (The male plug, not the female plug shown)


GMOS-4:


Advice? I have it wired for the radio, I just can't connect to the car itself!

Welp, you can see the rubber gromits, so I'll have to trim those down at some point.

But in the mean time, time to tune up mom's van!








Whaddya mean pop the hood?

I don't have the means to fix it properly, but I did smooth the edges and apply a coat of touch up paint to the affected areas. And I have rubber sealant to use to seal the spoiler.
I didn't have time to properly seal it and I didn't want the trunk leaking, so I just threw it back on, but it's better than it was

When I have means to repaint the vehicle, I'll also do the front and rear bumpers, and replacing the hood as well, since that would need repainting too

Finally did my radio a few days ago, but my phone was too dead to take any pictures. Used the harness i showed above and ran wires for the speakers as to bypass the bose amplifier without ruining the existing harness. Just hooked up what I needed and I just have to run the back speakers, but the subwoofers in the trunk sound goooooooddddddd.


pshh who needs steering wheel controls anyways.

harness I'm referencing to:

Ive got a set of stock headlights if you want them.

Sorry for the delay, and how much would you want for them and where are you located? PM me.

So i've started noticing things going wrong with my suspension. Normal car guy thing to do is jack it up and look for what I can find. Results?


I'd like to point out the adjustable lateral link and the Trailing Arm. Upon inspection and testing i also noticed excessive play in my rear drivers wheel, so I also needed a wheel bearing. Front strut mounts are trashed and the rear struts are shot.
My solution?



No not really a solution, but i felt better at the time and it looks better. now to do the other 3. (Ignore the 205's)
The REAL solution:
MORE CAR PARTS


now to get a spring compressor and get to work

Oh. And to my own sadness I had the rear lateral arm confused for a tie rod with all my noobiness with cars, so i have a spare inner tie rod, and i've ordered 2 new adjustable lateral arms.

Parts pictured above:
4x KYB AGX Adjustable struts
4x KYB Boot kits
4x KYB Strut Mount kits
2x Front Upper spring isolaters
2x Front Lower spring isolaters
2x Rear Lower spring isolaters
1x WBI Premium wheel bearing
2x ZZP Chomoly trailing arms
1x (useless atm) Inner Tie Rod
2x ACDelco Rear Rotors (not needed yet)
1x Coupe driver side window regulator ( I have a sedan)
Not pictured are the 2 front and 2 rear (on vehicle) SSC lowering springs.

That's a pretty penny there

And due to recent thoughts. Just ordered 4 Anti-Pogo washers and 2 adjustable lateral arms. In my car I also have a circuit breaker to repalce my Amplifier's inline fuse (more so to test if that's what's draining my battery and austhetic improvement), a switch for my AeroForce gauge since I never did get that fixed. 50ft of 12 gauge wire to wire in my rear speakers to the radio, a 3ft cigarette lighter extension cable for my GPS/ Radar Detector set-up and 20ft of 16 gauge wire to set up the AeroForce gauge switch with.

This is gonna be a fun next few weeks

I have AGX'S also....i just need the rest of the hardware.

I'm getting suspension done first and foremost on the vehicle, and what I currently have is worn out so it needed replacing soon anyways.

My personal belief is to modify in the order of Suspension, drivetrain, interior, electronics, then body.

Did you get the strut hardware from zzp?

Some if it was amazon some of it was zzp. I bought it for the lowest price I could find between them.
Amazon is great with free 2 day shipping and discounts (with Prime)
ZZP has everything in one place and the strut kit is KYB even though it says StrutMate

Purchased Vogtland's today! Got my driver side trailing arm and lateral arm installed as well as my wheel bearing assembly, next Sunday I go back to my girlfriend's Dad's and we do the passenger side, then the following Sunday we install the AGX+Vogtland combo

(Finish sound system when I get a chance)
Then when I have money again I'll do sway bars and bushings.

Then wheels and tires.
Then some supporting mods like headers and an intercooler.
I'm tired and rambling

Finally got around to installing the KYB AGX's with the Vogtland's, installed the zzp chromoly trailing arms last weekend with the rear lateral arms.





Old vs. New


Although in my adventures it looks like I'll need a CV shafts and a ball joint (both on the driver's side).
It also seems that the sway bar -endlinks and possibly bushings could use some upgrading.

Girlfriend with a Vogtland spring :P


Vaping+Lighting=Cool lookin Subwoofer set-up

New ride height with all my stuff in the trunk:






Old:


Gotta clean out my car and get an alignment, then they should break in beautifully

Lol, do you have bodies in the back ?

Nah, just my subs and all my tools/ extra clothes.
