When I first bought the car. It was an upgrade from my old 3800se

My first mods were a cold air intake (home mader) and a zzp tuned pcm.

I then put halo headlights and LED taillights on the car. (halos soon burnt out and got replaced with stockers)

along with the TOG catless downpipe from zzp

I then got a ported/polished supercharger and throttle body. (with the silencer ports plugged so she screamed) but an engine bay shot ill show you later.

I then changed from the ugly snowflake GP rims over to some mustang SVT rims

Then It was black friday at ZZP so I bought a whole bunch of small things to improve performance and handling
-trailing arms
-strut tower bar
-diagonal braces
-coil packs
-zzp plug wires
-polished aluminum valve covers
(agian engine bay shot later building anticipation)

I then blew my rear struts and they needed replacing so i bought the kyb agx coil overs from zzp... why not :) gtp got low!

I then sold the rims from the mustang (it was a must i couldnt be rocking mustang rims) and picked up some torque stars until i found another set.

Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

[FONT=&quot]Now comes the fun part. XP cam and many other goodies ordered! and the wicked install (left the motor in):

We dropped the subframe down so we could gain accsess to the cam in the passanger fenderwall

(in that process the steering shaft pulled apart which sucked)
but it still wasnt far enough down so we braced the motor and just took the subrame right out.

Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

high 200's, nothing exciting, but he seems to have all of the important mods.

Especially excellent taste in wheels.
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

I Hate you....well at least I know we can do 9.5" wide with coilovers.

Car looks awesome otherwise man, love it. Looks damn good.
 


Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

As for the mustang runs I also liked them but the offset and width just wasn't there plus I was driving around a grand prix gtp with mustang rims. The car was built to beat the mustang not sport it's rims hahah but yes I did like them. And I'm pretty sure I'm running more than upper 200's for whp I haven't mentioned all of the mods just all of the important ones like you said hahah it's a very long list. But the next move will be a genV and an intercooler but before I go that route I should start worring about my tranny she is bone stock and holding up quite nicely knock on wood :s
