    Hey I just purchased a white 1999 gtp with 45k. I've had it for only one week but already am in love with this thing. I bought and installed new headlights (stock ones where faded).
    I hope to be a active member of this forum for a long time.

    I was just wondering what performance mods I should install first, I intend to use this car as a daily so reliability is my main concern, and what temp should my car be running at, every time I park my car my engine seems so damn hot, is this due to the supercharger or is my car running hot? The gauge vary's from about 180-200 is this normal?

    X2...and just an FYI you don't have to drop $300 on a k&n intake to get quality, you can build a better one yourself for about $50. Theres a write-up for it in the how-to section.

    thanks guys, i think making parts and installing them yourself is much more satisfying plus cheaper which is a big help

    Welcome. Let that thing breathe before pulling more air in IMO. Get a 3" Downpipe with the U-Bend Delete. Then get a FWI and a 180* T-Stat...those sure so help
