I travel out once or twice a month and work on it. Right now, I'm just waiting on the accumulation of the rest of the parts, then I'll take some vacation time to finish it up. The rest of the time, it just sits in the garage looking sad.
05-28-2012
lol where do you live? does your mom or dad live in PA and the other live in another state?
05-28-2012
I live in Mass, while the car is currently in PA at my dad's house. I want to get it done soooooooo bad, but some other matters have come up in the middle causing me to divert money away from the project for the most part. Hopefully, I'll have everything settled in early June and have it done before the end of summer.
05-28-2012
yea that would be cool i see your doing a 5 speed build that's awesome are you gonna drive it back to mass once its done?
05-28-2012
The 5 speed is the most exciting part of the build, but there are other things happening with it as well...Gen V, XP, intercooled, 42.5lb injectors, SLP headers, GMPP exhaust...typical fun stuff for an L36 block.The goal is to get it done, drive it back, and drive it when it's nice (aka no more winters.) I've got a 99 Jeep Cherokee for winter crap to keep the GT safe from salt and idiots who can't drive.

thats alot of work your putting into a GP lol hope its worth it should be awesome once done
05-28-2012
It's a toy for me and nothing more. I like to play. Eventually, I'll get bored with it down the line, sell it, and buy something else.
05-28-2012
yea but the problem with these cars is you usually can never get as much money as you put into it once you sell it but it will be fun i can tell especially with a 5 speed
05-28-2012
About the only thing I have in it is labor. I got killer deals on all my parts, so I can't really complain about the money in. The only NEW parts will probably end up being the clutch, FMHE, intercooler pump, hoses, and Gen V to N* adapter. Other than that, I have $400 into buying the car, and the other parts were less than $2k.
05-28-2012
yea good deal what trans are you going to be running? and maybe ill have to take a ride up to Allentown to see this once complete lol
05-28-2012
that be a heavty drive just to see something complete haha think allentown like 45-hour from here
05-28-2012
I'll be running the Getrag 284. It can take a little more than the 282, and I don't drive like a douche so it should hold up for my purposes. I might be willing to take a trip to Allentown when she's finished. Like I said, I visit there on occasion anyway. LOL
And if you think it's a hefty drive for you, consider I live in MA!! I don't like Philly, so I won't drive that far, plus I can pick up I-84 out of Stroudsburg or I-95 in NJ to get back to MA.
05-28-2012
its like an hour or so away but it would be worth it to see how far i want to go with my GTP lol
where do you find a Getrag? i never herd of it lol
05-28-2012
Fixed that for you.
I know guys who have nearly $60,000 into their cars that they would have trouble selling for $15,000. Mods don't increase values of cars.
05-28-2012
Getrag 284 was in the 91-94 Lumina Z34, Grand Prix, and Olds Cutlass.
05-28-2012
agreed
oh nice never herd about them if i do a swap i know what im getting lol
05-28-2012
Next problem is finding a complete donor car! LOL
