Re: New Daily Driver 56k=Owned

If you ever need to know anything about fixing that car give me a shout my brother raced his GTP for 4 years before buying his BMW M3 roadster. His fastest time to date in the 1/4 was 13.5@101mph but it was primarily an SCCA car.

Re: New Daily Driver 56k=Owned

Well everyone said the stock wheels had to go and I totally agree, but they worked great to kick around for the winter months though. So I bought some rims to toss on for the few months of summer.

Since I bought it like 7 months ago I bought the following mods for it. I shouldn't of modded a fucking Grand Prix I know but can't help it.

Modular Pulley system (quick change)
w/ 3.5", 3.0", 2.8", 2.5" pulleys
Wizaird Cold Air Intake System
ZZP re-flashed PCM (ECU)
Full 3" Dynomax Exhaust
Autolite 103's
B&M Tranny Cooler
Triple A pillar Autometer Cobalt Gauges (thanks Swanny) w/ trans temp, boost, and Air Fuel Gauges.

Some of the parts I haven't installed yet because its been winter obviously. With the parts I have for it now it should make about 330whp supposedly. Maybe I will try it out at the dyno day if I get my ass in gear and install the rest of the shit I have laying in my garage.

Anyway here are a few pics of the new rims. The are Amercian Eagle 077's 18X8 wrapped in 245/45/ZR18 Bridgestone Potenze S-03's. These tires are sticky as fuck.

I've been having all kinds of fun with my car, lucky I have bitched enough that everything has been covered under the GM Certified(what a joke) warranty:
-Full 4 wheel alignment
-Replacement of both serpentine belts
-1 tire was mounted backwards
-Front right lower control arm bushing was pressed in upside down and from everything the mechanic could tell, it had been that way since the car was new
-Right front hub replaced
-Both outer tie rods replaced
-Driver's door wiring harness was mispositioned resulting in my tint being scratched; dealership took off the door panel and correctly positioned the harness
-Transmission shift control assembly replaced
