Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Loss of brake fluid

    So, I went to the grocery store, bought some goodies for the BBQ... hopped in the car and the brake light came on :( 1997 GTP. I popped the hood and checked, I could see the reservoir was low. I was only about 3-4 blocks from home so I gingerly brought it there and topped up the fluid. Brake...

    Key won't go to lock position

    Well, I haven't had any issues over the last year and a bit. However, twice in the last 3 days I've had this problem where I can't turn the key to the lock position to remove it! I managed to get it out with some fiddling both times, but is there a common issue on these cars that can cause this...

    Car chimes 3 times going over bumps?

    I have this strange issue. I've done a couple things to the car but I don't know why the car chimes 3 times when I go over bumps. I've installed a head unit and wiring stuff for a stereo system (including side post adapters so I can attach aftermarket wiring), and I did a major job to the car...

    Factory style spring clamps for rad hoses

    Does anyone know where to get the factory style spring clamps? When I got the car the clamps were all the screw type, and they suck. I replaced all the hoses and clamps as a precaution due to the age of the car, but all of them leak unless you tighten them every month. I went to the dealer...

    Instrument panel trim clips

    So I discovered a lot of the clips are missing from the trim that run around the instrument cluster and radio. The dealer has not been helpful here, does anyone know a part number for these little metal clips?

    Blower motor

    Well, after reading some blower motor threads, nothing really seemed like my problem. When I got the car last year I noticed the blower motor was squeaking when on. So I replaced it about 6 months ago. Today, I was making several stops and at one of them it stopped working completely. I've...

    Tire pressure warning

    So on my 1997 GTP the check tire pressure light came on. Got home, checked the tires... all were between 36.5-37.5. Tires are new (got a couple months ago.) So - will this light trip if the pressure is too high? I thought I ran over something earlier, so I was cursing on my way home...

    Front sway bar

    Well, I had the crap startled outta me a few days ago. I was turning, coming out of a parking lot at low speeds (<10mph) and there was a loud BANG THUMP THUD CLUNK CLUNK from the front of the car. I immediately pulled over in the next parking lot but didn't see anything obviously broken under...

    Lower intake manifold gasket

    Well, I fixed the tensioner elbow fittings (in another thread.) Today I got out of the car and smelled coolant. When filling the system I forgot to reinstall the bleed screw so coolant did spill out onto the engine. That stuff stinks and takes a while to go away. So I did an inspection, and I...

    Insturment cluster symbols and coolant problem

    So... couple issues. Apparently I have a leaking coolant system. I unfortunately noticed this when the temp got to about 110c on the gauge. It wasn't anywhere near the red on the gauge. Waited for the car to cool off... opened the radiator. I don't see coolant. I added a bunch and burped the...

    Thanks forums!

    Well, some backstory: A few weeks ago the car kept stalling on the way to work. I did manage to get it there no problem but then it wouldn't stop. Had it towed home and had no fuel pressure when cranking. The previous owner was saying it would have this random problem of the call stalling when...

    Power wire thru firewall?

    Well, I sorted out the mechanical bits, now it's time to get rid of that factory radio. I already put in a new head unit but the factory speakers stink. I happen to have an amp (100x4 RF) which I want to use but I have to get power to it. Searching in the forum apparently the 2004+ had a...

    97 GP goupe B pillar courtesy light lens

    Hi all, When I got the car the courtesy light on the passenger side B-pillar has its lens missing. Anyone have one of these for sale? I'm located in Canada.

    HUD working but dim in sunlight

    Hi all, My HUD dimmer switch replacement fixed the one problem I had (wouldn't move.) It unfortunately didn't fix the other problem. When the sun is out the HUD is almost invisible. I just took it apart to reflow the light sensor connections with a soldering iron. Cleaned it and put it back...

    Power window alignment?

    I didn't know which forum to put this in... Anyway, when I got the car back in July I knew about a power window problem on the passenger side (coupe!) I took the door panel apart and when the window rolls up it really struggles about halfway up the window. I figured the regulator was going so...
