• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Brake likes to put out . . . noise and brake dust

    Hi guys, I replaced my rear rotors and pads this past summer with no problems. However, my driver's side rear brake has recently been putting out a LOT of brake dust (it's gunking up my rim) and is squealing like the devil, regardless of my speed or whether I'm on the brake pedal or not. Any...

    Thumping and Pulling

    Hi everyone. I am having an issue with a thumping noise and vibration coming from what I believe to be the front passenger side wheel. The vibration can be felt from about 35 mph+ and is worst at about 75 mph (which is annoying because I have a highway commute). I can hear the "thumping" sound...

    Curious sount/Interesting temp fluctuations

    My brother has a 2002 GTP that's had a hard life. It's clear to us now that the thing got in a wreck at some point before we owned it, and we have to pump money into it all the time. Lo and behold . . . we're having another problem with it. Driving along (60 mpg, cruise on) the temp will jump...

    Coolant problem, now the shop says I need new intake valves

    Bought a 2002 SE about 3 months ago, and after having it for about a month the low coolant light came on. I had almost none in the tank, so I filled it. Well, about a month after that, the light came on again. Filled the tank again, but this time I also bought one of those $1 "leak plugger"...

    Had a Rotation--Now it's Nice and Noisy

    I had my tires rotated today (I destroyed the fronts, so swapped them to the back). Now the car handles well--the rubber that's now in the front are two Potenzas. The crappy old Vivas are now in the back. However, there's now a low rumbling from about 10-35, whether I'm speeding up or slowing...

    OBDII Sensor not Working

    Hi guys. I just got my OBDII reader in the mail today, and was eager to test it out. I plugged it in to my 2003 GT's OBDII port and . . . nothing. The lights on the unit didn't even light up. To check if I had just bought a knockoff Chinese piece of garbage, I tried it out on our '04...

    Reset Check Engine Light

    Hey, guys. My "Check Engine Soon" light is on steadily (not flashing). I know 100% that it's just an Evap emissions code. I've had this happen like 7 times already on this 2003 GP GT. I have always just taken it to the shop to have them read it with their OBD computer and it's the same thing...

    Vibration, but NOT under acceleration only

    I have a 2003 GP GT. Over about the last year or so, I've noticed vibration in the steering wheel and in the whole car in general--I can even feel it through the seat. I've done some research and people seem to have issues with 1) motor mounts and 2) CV shaft issues. However, I'm pretty sure...

    Soundproofing

    I have a 2003 GT. Anybody done any soundproofing on their cars? I'm not looking to spend mucho dinero on Dynamat. I've considered first just taking the trunk carpet out and putting carpet mat under it or something.

    GTP GXP Ram Air

    We have both a 2003 GT and a 2002 GTP--love them both. I've been looking around the interwebs for this gem I read about online somewhere: the GXP. No, not the V8. Series II V6 Supercharded, but with Ram Air. Has anyone else heard of this? Or is this just my fantasy? If so, is this a...
