• 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.

    Evap Nightmares?

    Okay, about 3 months ago, my '01 Grand Prix was having a bit of trouble starting up. It would turn over just fine, and then idle for about a second, then die. I'd have to start the car maybe a half dozen times to get it to run. After that, it'd run just fine though. In the last 2 weeks though...

    Mushy Brakes?

    About two days ago, my GP's brake pedal decided it wanted to go down almost to the floor before it started braking. I popped the hood and found the reservoir cap was off, so I replaced that. It's been really humid here, so I figured that a bunch of moisture got into the fluid and I had water in...

    Road Trip!

    Hayo, My 2001 Grand Prix GTP is coming with me and my friend on a road trip from Chicago to Philadelphia over spring break. I'm curious as to what I should do, maintenance-wise before I embark. It's got 109xxx miles on it, the LIM gaskets are a tiny bit leaky, plugs and wires are less than...

    Downpipe Questions

    I want to buy a downpipe for my Grand Prix GTP. I'd prefer a 3 inch one. Larger diameter = more flow as well as a slight tone difference in exhaust, I'd presume. However, I believe the rest of the system catback is 2.5 inches. I'd be buying a catted weld in 3in pipe, and just bringing it to an...

    Transmission needs servicing

    My car has roughly 103xxx miles on it, and I have no idea when the transmission fluid was last serviced. The fluid is an awful brown color, and obviously needs replacing. Should I have it flushed, replace the filter, and the fluid replaced with Dexron VI? Or should I just drop the pan and...

    Plugs and Plug Wires

    I recently ordered a new set of plug wires from TDCRacing here, as it became frightfully apparent to me that my car still has the stock wires at 102xxx. They're all gummy from before the valve cover gasket was fixed, and just generally look like crap. So, I'm replacing those. I don't know what...

    Yay, Exhaust!

    I'd like my Grand Prix to not sound like a minivan. The replacement intake has helped this some, but the car is about as quiet as giraffes at a prison rodeo. I'm curious what exhausty things I could do to help this out a bit. The main things that I'm terrified of are drone, that horrid...

    Cold Air Intake mitigated by forced induction?

    Is it worth buying a cold air intake with the supercharger where it is without an intercooler? I heard that the benefits of having the cold air intake are mitigated by the heating action of the supercharger, and it is more economic to just put a short ram setup on the car. Is this true, not...

    Terrible stuttering/stalling problems

    I have a 2001 Grand Prix GTP. It has about 100,000 miles on it, bought it at 92,000 for about six grand, it was in really good condition, and it ran great, and has ever since I bought it. I recently returned from a trip from St. Louis back to Chicago, and I had my oil changed at Jiffy Lube...
