Thread: GTP is Sold! ''Downgraded'' to another Turdgen...

Got some more parts for the GTP.

Picked up with Glowshift Oil Pressure and Boost Gauges and got rid of my 3 Gauge pillar Pod and went with a ZZP Hud Pod. Much Cleaner and less of a attention getter. As far as the gauges, Very happy with the quality of em, even more the price. I spent close to $800 on my Gauge setup on my old 1986 Firebird Project and went with all Autometer, and I am kicking myself for not spending half of that money on Glowshifts instead and saved some $. Anyways, Some pictures!






Also went ahead and replaced my rear speakers with Kicker KS693s. Good decent upgrade from Stock Delcos. More thump and clearer sound, Might pair them up with a small amp and see how that does.


Old vs New




Installed

I think the front stance is perfect but the rear needs more low! Quick question though, I checked the rear springs and I see that they have moved from their seated curved position on the bottom of the Strut. Does this effect anything? If you need more info, its where the spring tip seats on the strut.

I think a 1' Drop in the rear would be perfect. Any ideas to gain this? From what I know and hear this is as good as its gonna get with WBS Springs. Its already been near 1k miles since the drop.

Anyways, any suggestions for visual mods are welcomed! I know it needs Tint badly but still looking up laws but from my friends tell me 35% is the best you can go all around and be legal.

As far as performance, I bought ZZPs Plog and Downpipe through their black friday deal this past friday. Looking to install these and be knock free for a 3.4 pulley drop. I plan to keep it there as far as performance goes for now.

Yes sir, Love em as well. I spent $120-$180 per gauge on my old Firebird Project and Decided to leave em in when I sold the car since they didnt match any of the interior of my current cars. These are perfect with the color changing and are working perfect. One thing I would suggest to everyone is going with the regular over Tinted. I can't imagine how horrible it is to see the tinted ones during the day with the sun out.

Decided to change it up a bit. Plastidipped the wheels again but only the centers this time.. I tried finding a plastidip glossifier but no dice locally. I mainly did this since I hated having to constantly clean the wheels since my pads dust like crazy. Also looks like the car has settled even more, looks decent now. New spoiler and 3.5 dual tips to come soon. Enjoy the pictures:

Where are you at in Chicago?

South Side, Near Midway.

Lookie what came in from ZZP!



Got it installed right away!




I went with a 3.5 to be safe for now, since my only mods are basically 2.5 DP and Plog with a FWI... The car really liked the pulley drop, I will be scanning the car the rest of the week but I love it so far.

One thing though that is really bothering me, I for the life of me could not find the 2.5 flange downpipe gasket that connects the downpipe to the catback.. I tried searching online on Autozone, advance, oreilly... nothing. Anyone have any part numbers? I am using only rtv but it keeps leaking..

Thanks for the compliments but looks like I might be removing the black off the wheels and going with a ''brighter'' theme. Going back to silver finish, removing dip from front and lower facias and replacing my headlights this weekend. Also might be getting tint if everything goes well.

As far as performance, man I am in love with this car. The 3.5 really woke it up. I am seeing 9 psi average and peak I see around 10-11 psi, while with the stock pulley it was always 7 and maxed at around 8.. My next upgrade is def a Intercooler. I still have not scanned the car since the pulley drop, so I will see how its doing with the new pulley this weekend.

It is indeed on the last six, will this be a extreme problem?

As for as headers.. I dont have any plans for getting them, I will if I am seeing some KR with this setup but Im hopping my plog/dp is enough for kr free 3.5. We will see this weekend when I get my scanner back.

it will be a problem.. Its pretty easy to simply slide it over one notch.... Car looks good. I know you said you're planning on changing your theme up a bit but I really like what you did with the rims. I think thats what im going to do with mine when I try it out.
