• 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.

    Well this is bad... options?

    Took my 02 GTP to the mechanic to see about diagnosing a bad knocking/metallic sound that I believed was the flexplate. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to inspect it myself as my schedule has been hectic. Mechanic called me this morning, he inspected the flexplate and found no damage to...

    Flexplate/Torque Converter or Harmonic Balancer?

    Good ol' Blackjack (my 02 GTP) is making a noise.. I went 3/4 throttle down the road to get to my chorus performance on time, and when I pulled up to the parking lot I could hear a knocking/banging sound. Limped the car home, got under it searching for what I thought was a rod knock at first...

    How screwed am I?

    Long story short, radiator failed internally and mixed my trans fluid with coolant and coolant with trans fluid. I was driving home the other night, and my trans started acting weird. It would jerk while in drive, which at first I thought was a misfire. Then as I got closer to home, it started...

It is not limited to a particular set of lights, the problem affects all lighting (headlights, interior, dash & DIC, etc). Here's a list of things that I have performed/checked: Battery is less than 3 months old...

    First kills in the GTP!

    I've been driving my 02 GTP for a couple of months now, and I've been itching to find something to race. Unfortunately, it seems (especially around here) that these cars are under the radar and don't look worthy. But last night on the way home from my mom's birthday dinner, I got lucky. Pulled...

    TCC issues :(

    I'll keep it short for brevity purposes lol - Car has 116K, 02 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP When I first purchased car, I noticed there was an issue with premature TC lockup when cold. As soon as car reached ~30mph, the torque converter would lock up and RPM's would dive sharply, sometimes the...

    A/C Question for you gentlemen

    It's not on a Grand Prix, but a 3100 equipped 03 Buick Century Intermittent problem with A/C system ... it works very well for first 15-20 minutes of driving. After this period, it will periodically switch from cold air to ambient temp air, almost like the system is shutting off. A/C light...

    LED install gone wrong :(

    Went to install my new LED bulbs, purchased from Diode dynamics. Have to say, what excellent bulbs they are! Very bright and worth every penny. My 2002 GTP has the sunroof option, so I don't have the overhead console. I just have the two map lights and the sunroof switch. Well I took my flathead...

    Grand Prix vs. Regal GS

    A little over a month ago, I purchased a new to me 02 GTP. It's a black coupe, needs some paint and a set of side skirts on top of other various menu items. I've replaced the serp. belt, along with the front pads + rotors. I enjoy the car, I like the sporty look, but I'm really on the fence of...

    I'm looking for the pieces that go above the rocker panel side skirt, and the rocker panel skirts as well. Drivers side and passenger. Does not matter what color they are, I'll be repainting them anyways. They just have to be in good shape. If anybody has any, or knows somewhere that I can get...
