    Since I'm going to be an ass and most likely making an ass of myself on here, I might as well make an intro thread.


    I have owned a 40th Anniversary GTP sedan since 2007. Bought it with 60K on it, and it's at 135K now. Just finished a 4000+ mile trip with it.

    It's mostly stock, as it's my wife's car. I've been on ClubGP for a while, but that place has been dead for a while.

    Suspension/Brakes:
    KYB GR-2 struts
    GMPP swaybars
    WBS springs
    anti-pogo strut washers
    Engine mount spacers
    Rotated dogbone mounts
    F-body brakes
    rear SS brake lines (both SS front lines blew... **** You ZZP).

    Engine/Drivetrain:
    180°F thermostat
    Autolite 104 plugs (copper 1 step colder IIRC)
    Tranny shift improvement kit

    Wheels/tires:
    Painted Torque Stars with 225 Kumho Ecsta ASX's for summer
    Blizzaks on stock wheels for winter

    Forgot about the F-body front brakes. OP updated.

    What the hell; I can't swear on here? Sad.

    Sup bro beans.

    104's are 2 steps colder and way too cold right now.

    I'd suggest some AL 606's copper cores and change them every 13-15k miles.

    I went to colder plugs after reading the ones I pulled out when I first got the car five years ago. I'm pulling my driver's side axle tomorrow to check it, and I'll pull the plugs and check them again for the hell of it.

    Pulled the #5 plug, and it looks just a little cold. I'm going to switch to 605's this time.
