Fullblown rice car 99 gtp. Might go bye bye

**87IROCZOWNER69** · 11-09-2011

Wanna start by saying I am new to this forum and am hoping to not only get helped by others but to help them as well. Anyway picked up my GTP tonight and lets just say its not stock. lol I will be posting up pictures of it soon but that won't be until tomorrow because I want to wash it and take pictures in the day light. But of course being a used car it has a few issues...for instance I was driving it around and showing it to my friend when I tried rolling down the window and it wouldn't budge. I could here the motor running but the window didnt move...well it did eventually lol. I was driving around 10 minutes later and it just fell into the door on me. I was able to pull it back out but I want to get it back on the tracks and make it run right, so does anyone know how to fix these?

welcome, and it sounds like you need a new window regulator.

**PurpleGuy** · 11-09-2011

I agree with what Scotty said. But more importantly, where are pix of this IROC!!!!??

What do you mean by the window regulator?

My Iroc isn't the purdiest but it has the 5.7, t-tops, and every other option you could have gotten in 87 except for the leather seats...lets see if this works. Oh and fyi I bought the Grand Prix because the motor blew in my 2000 Intrepid with the 2.7 with 68,000 miles and I need something for snow while that gets fixed

.

Here you just get one pic for now and if I ca find some more recent ones I will post them on here. BTW this is from when I first got it off the lot.

The 2.7 is a worthless motor in anything..much less a full size car. So what kinda mods does the prix have?

window regulator, its the thing in the door that the window is attached to, and what makes it go up and down. they go bad, google it or hit up a dealer for a new one. fast and easy repair too.

**PurpleGuy** · 11-10-2011

Cool Iroc...5 speed?

**02 WS6 TA** · 11-10-2011

Yeah, pick one- 5.7, or T-Tops and 5 speed.

**matt5112** · 11-10-2011

Who wants a T5 anyways?

**02 WS6 TA** · 11-10-2011

I want a T Top, 5.7, T5...Too bad the General didn't build that.

Yeah it really ticks me off on how they made that motor and why they would even offer it.

So far I have found that it has MSD ignition system, alarm, GTX ram air, drilled and slotted rotors, aftermarket wheels, body kit, spoiler, hood, countless hail dents (except for on the hood). You know what I will post up some pictures in a bit, I just had it washed and need to take them.

The car also has a clunking sound under the car occassionally and also needs some basic maintenence that needs to be carried out.

**boostedcompg** · 11-10-2011

ditcht the msd...there crap

**87IROCZOWNER69** · 11-10-2011

Here are some pics of it....

What's wrong with the MSD ignitions? I have heard nothing but good things about them...when I say ignition I mean as far as I can tell only the distributor is MSD.

**boostedcompg** · 11-10-2011

well it doesnt have a distributor.....so im going to assume you mean the coil packs. and they perform under the factor coils...and that body kit is a little too ricer for my liking...but as long as you like it

**02 WS6 TA** · 11-10-2011

MSD Coils Suck.

**cliffdawg** · 11-10-2011

best route i heard is stock coil packs and prj wires

Whoopsy, I'm just to used to my Camaro lol. I'm not a huge fan of the kit either but it has grown on me since picking it up. If I was around 30 and was driving this car I would get rid of it but since I am in high school I really enjoy the attention.

**boostedcompg** · 11-10-2011

youll soon see its the wrong kind of attention

Yeah I know what you are getting at and the previous owner put in a whole alarm system and I don't speed plus I keep it parked where it is well lit and it is a good neighborhood. Plus the radio is currently in the trunk lol. So I have most of my bases covered.

Another question....how many limited edition 99 GTP's were made? I am digging up like no information.
