Thread: 98 white GTP sedan sold, 99 red GTP coupe purchased and at home

Bought this car last week, On December 31st. 104,000 miles on it. Fully loaded except sunroof. Interior is very nice, black leather with no holes or rips. I got it for $2000. It does have some minor things that I will be fixing they are as follows:

TCS off light on, ABS light on - need to get it scanned for ABS codes
HUD not working - Fixed
Cruise, only works when cold
Radio - display burnt out - fixed
Minor oil leak - Parts ordered to replace most of the top end gaskets - fixed
Supercharger coupler - Fixed


Here are a few pictures, I have fixed the paint on the front bumper since these were taken.






The Interior.




Just a few newer pictures. I have made a few changes as you can see.






New headlights

Very nice deal man .

About your abs does the light on the dic that says no Tract come on ? Is so the abs light is burned out .

The TCS off light is on, the low trac or whatever it is light is not on

I took some dental floss and used in a sawing motion under the letters to cut through the sticky tape that holds the letters on, then some Goo-Gone or similar product to remove gluey residue and your good to go.

I then went to a friends shop and had this added. Just food for thought.


Otherwise, clean car and nice parts car. I wouldn't suggest looking for a block, a whole L67 (97-03) with low miles can be picked up for a couple hundred. a whole L32 (04+) can be picked up for a little extra with a newer better GenV blower. a little tuning and some slight modding and it will drop in easily and get you more power.

Question, I have been having issues with the TCS off light always on, my cruise control only works occasionally, my speedometer will read 0 if I put the car in neutral. Can all these things be related? Bad hub possibly? Or could it be the EBTCM module? My ABS light is not on but I think the bulb may be dead. Is it supposed to flash when the car is started? Mine does not.

Thanks.

Been doing a few things to the car, nothing major. Did the top end gaskets and put a new set of summer tires on it.

I also cleaned up the back end put new tips on it.

Am i the only one who see;s dual tips positioned like that and feel like they're on the wrong sides?

yeah they are on backwards the contour is suppose to be the opposite way

Contour? The tips are equal lengths. I wish the out sides were a little shorter, would look much better.

Tips smips, it looks good, hell, he could have gone the "Dan" route


Keep up the good work Sir, that ain't no parts car, that's another GTP with potential.

The tips contour should be go along with the contour of the bumper. Notice how the center of the bumper sticks out and goes inward as you go along the sides? if you flip the tips, the longer pieces would be in towards the center that stick sou most, and the small sides of the tips would be tucked in more flush with the bumper

I have the same tips except mine are flipped

These tips are the same length, not contoured. They just look longer on the inside because of the curve on the bumper.

These are the tips: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/140943159734?...#ht_3802wt_902

I like your tips better than the ones I have, you can tell that the outsides on yours are shorter. If you look close at the pictures of mine you can see both tips are the same length.

That they are, now that I look at it, just gives it the illusion that they aren't with the bumpers contour

I had them put on at a shop and am not to impressed with the work they did. They stuck them out a little to far, there not straight enough for my liking either. I wish I would have taken a better look at them when the work was finished. Hopefully they didn't weld them then I should be able to adjust them.

My gold gp has a bad ebcm, the speedo does drop to zero in nuetral, the trac off and abs lights are on.But, my cruise works great.Not shure if the speedo is caused by the ebcm, but it may be.

I need to get it scanned for ABS codes. The really weird thing with the cruise is that it works fine when cold. Warm the car up, it wont work OR if the car is cold but it is about 10 Celsius or warmer out the cruise will not work. Very weird, it seems to have more to do with ambient temperature than the car temp. Now that it is spring here it pretty much never works unless i'm driving it at night and its cool out.

I have tried a different cruise module with the same result.

I tightened up the exhaust, looks a bit better.

Just a minor update. I guess I should get those broken mud flaps off of there some time as well lol.







Edit: Car is not leaking gas, its just water from wet sanding the valance.
