Hi I just bought a 2000 Grand Prix GT with 151,000 miles on it. it is 100% stock right now and was wondering if anyone had specific thoughts on what I should do first. I bought a warrantee with it and will be getting a new tanny in a couple months.

Enjoy it.
Or...
Possibly get a new downpipe and an intake.
Also your maintenance areas like plugs, wires, fuel filter, oil change, possibly brakes/suspension, LIM gasket, UIM, valve cover gaskets.
I'd suggest tripleedgeperformance for the transmission.
He'll make sure its 100% as well the components used are top notch.

Yeah I know for sure that I need new control arm bushings,and the front wheel bearings need to be replaced. I am changing the oil tomorrow afternoon.

Get lower control arms.
Dorman or moog are good ones.
For a wee bit more, you get new ball joints and it makes the install that much easier.

Sorry what exactly are those? like what do they do? and do you know where the fuel filter is located on my car and is it easy to replace?

ball joints are the lower connecting piece for the wheel/bearing/brake assembly in the front.

ok thanks! I will definetly look into that! any brands you would suggest?

Welcome and nice purchase...looks like a pretty clean whip!
Fuel filter...look under the car in front of the rear driver side wheel, u can't miss it.
06-03-2011
sweet thanks! what is involved in changing it? is it just a direct plug and play set up?
06-03-2011
Turn the oil filter, not the fitting on your fuel line, and pinch the white pins and pull off the black quick disconnect.
Dorman and moog control arms are good and cost effective replacements.

thats a nice gtp. I had a 98 about 2 months ago. I traded it for a 91 camaro though. The supercharger was dying
06-03-2011
ok sounds easy enough. Thanks for the help! Would a K&N cold air intake be worth putting in?

Dorman Front Suspension, Passenger Side, Lower Control Arm

Not to point fingers but some guys would try to take the oil filter off to change the fuel filter...lol
