    *****pics for previous post*****













    for future references i don't know that much about cars, my goal is to put together a car that will be distinctively mine and something that i could cherish as such for the forseeable future...


    I know now that the super charger and turbo isn't the same thing...

    and I will clean everything as soon as the issues get finished...

    but what is the blower?

    since my HuMOunt.com mount came in i decided to install it...



    I was about to wire the amp up myself when i looked for a hole inside the firewall on the drivers side to get the wire through but i couldn't find one, then i noticed that the battery was on the passenger side of the vehicle,
    i was like good to go I'll just let best buy install the damned amp and since i am going there i might as well let them install a new remote start/alarm system in the car as well...

    one of my engine issues was that the car was idling way too high so after a bit of forum searching i narrowed it down to a faulty TPS or IAC, went to auto zone had it scanned and it was a faulty IAC but they called it a faulty idle control switch and when you look that up they were like they don't have it, i gambled on this one after reading the forum i said the damn thing must be the idle air control valve, then i called another autozone about 2 miles from the first one and they had the part 31.99 and an oil change later she was idling like a dream...


    now all i have to do is:

    install new SUPERCHARGER and radiator
    Paint Job/Body work/ including bumpers
    New sub and amp
    Replace shifter
    fix A/C
    paint calipers
    new torque mount inserts
    new motor mounts
    find and repair power steering leak
    replace window regulators and motors on 2 in-op windows
    do something about tail lights
    get pieces to make steering wheel radio controls work
    new steering wheel radio controls
    steam clean engine

    glad to hear it's coming along. just to help you out if you pull back your carpet on the passenger side there is a grommet in between the passenger side and center of the car roughly behind the radio (if you need pics i can post em) that you can run the amp wire through.
    1998 Grand Prix GTP Stock for now mods to come soon. Alpine 9885 head unit, 2 JLW3V2 10s, 2 Jensen 650x2 amps, and Tsunami wiring all the way around.
    Ladies and gentleman take my advice. pull down your pants and slide on the ice
