All you need is an Intense PCM, turbo kit, racetronix fuel pump, and a Casper fuel pump rewire to get it done. Oh and most importantly a new fuel pump relay that is in the back of the car. LOL

Car looks naked to me, but it is nice to see the IC. I'm sure I gave a few people the WTF look when they saw me driving down the road.
 


Re: txslow6's 97 GTP

An exhaust shop wanted to charge $125 to weld the flange on the catback. :th_laugh-lol3:

My buddy offered to do it for free 99. He wanted some more practice with his Mig welder(only been welding off an on for a few weeks). As you will be able to tell his welds aren't the greatest, but for free, gets the job done, and is not seen i could careless. ;)

Loaded up and ready to go:

At some point in time a plastic bag had melted to the rear portion of the exhaust.

Nothing a grinder won't solve :)

Just need to purchase nuts and bolts as well as some rubber holders for the hangers. Then I'll be ready for stealth mode once again and get rid of the annoying asstastic exhaust. I want to vomit everytime I drive the car.

Yeah, I took my car up to an exhaust shop close to me and they wanted $120 to weld my cat in place (its currently removable). That was just way to much money for that amount of work.

Looking good man, maybe one day I'll get to actually see it in person...work sux!

Thanks, I gotta give the previous owner(97GTPWhite) some props on the car though. I haven't done anything other than enhance the performance. It was partially bought and partially built. LOL
He did a fantastic job with choosing the suspension/wheel setup.

Weaksauce if you cant make it man. Call in sick if you have to work. It will be worth it. :)



Should have an update here soon. I've got a night show I'm attending Friday. I'll be placing some LED's in certain areas to focus ones attention in the darkness. In total I'll be using 5 white LED strips. 2 illuminating the area of the turbo, one for the intercooler, and the last 2 for the the LS1 brakes. Some will hate it, some will love it, and others will be undecided. In my mind I have a tasteful setup with where they will be hidden(at least I think.). I'll be starting this process tomorrow. As always I'll make sure to post pictures. :)
 
Re: txslow6's 97 GTP

Did a little work to the GTP today.

Installed 2 strips of LEDs. This one is in the headlight housing area facing the turbo:

The second strip was placed behind the bumper facing towards the Intercooler:

I'll try and get some night pictures up this evening.

Also got the in dash DVD player installed. I've had it laying around in the garage for awhile so it was nice to finally put it to use again. And of course had to test it out with Tombstone:

I have a SNES laying around that isn't used and would go nicely in the car. I'll install it at a later time. :)

Will do. The bumper cover may not be put back on. Its about to rain and I was waiting for the new PCM. But I have a show to attned tomorrow night so it will be reinstalled regardless then. It sucks driving and knowing I cant romp the **** of it.
 
Re: txslow6's 97 GTP

yea thats always hard...that whole self control thing,
looking forward to the leds, was gonna get some, but there the uglys things,,hoping theyll be super bright so you only see the light and not the bulbs
 
Re: txslow6's 97 GTP

Exactly why I only did 2. Wanted to try them out first see how they look and then do the LEDs behind the wheels. They are made in China so I'm not getting my hopes up. LOL
 


Re: txslow6's 97 GTP

looks ok,,if it was pitch black out it would look better,, how bout a far shot of the front
 
Re: txslow6's 97 GTP (LED night shots added)

Damn Son!

The lights are only to highlight the modifications done to the car. So I'll probably leave it like it is.
