• 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.

    Cars like a gtp.

    I want to pick up another car to work on and I'm looking for something under 8k that's similar to a gtp, you know needlessly weak tranny, squeaks, rattles :) But really I'm looking for another car that's somewhat low profile that has a pretty good cost:performance ratio, any suggestions?

    Unfinshed vs. finished look

    Normally I like my cars with a nice shiny paint job, waxed rims your typical show car look. Lately though I've been getting more and more into modern cars with a rough or unfinished look. Some people would call these ratrods but I think that term just starts definition wars so by unfinished...

    Pregen color ideas

    I just picked up a set of nice pre-gens for a song. I was all set to clean em up and put em on stock silver...and then the mod bug came out again and I thought about painting them. I absolutely will not do black so I wanted some opinions on some colors (red, blue, etc.) to paint them. The car...

    Car ramps

    Not sure if this is in the right section...I need to pick up some car ramps but I'm having trouble finding any that will fit given how low gp's apparently are (I'm at stock ride height btw). If any of you use ramps what kind do you use? I found some adjustable ones online but they're all in...

    Perf. Tranny limits?

    I'm curious about the current limitations for upgraded gtp trannies? Not that I'm anywhere even near that point myself but I just wonder? What kind of HP numbers, and more importantly what kind of track times can these cars get to (and run reliably) now that the 1" chain is no more?

    Thoughts on 12's

    So I've been quietly squirreling away money while I decide what I want to do with my GP and I've come to the conclusion that anywhere in the 12's would suit me just fine. I have a few questions though for people who have already been there. 1. What's the average cost of putting a GP into those...

    Open Cone need bigger pulley?

    So I thought I was all set, got a set of headers, 180 thermo, colder plugs, Intense PCM, all to run a 3.4" pulley. I'm on zzp ordering and they're saying open cone intakes, which I'm currently running, need one size bigger. Do I really need a 3.5" I've never read this anywhere else.

    Any place to buy PLOG?

    I'm looking to get a PLOG for my gtp but zzp is out. Any other sites out there that sell them or am I stuck waiting for one to turn up in the classified?

    PCM mounting

    I just made me a sweet new open cone intact (thanks Nawarkk for the how to write up) and because I'm a cheap bastard I don't want to cut up the airbox for the pcm tray like he mentioned. Right now the pcm is just hanging out on the metal shelf and I've heard that people just zip tie it down and...

    Homemade ram air hood?

    So in the interest of being a cheap bastard I'm wondering if there's a way to rig up a functional ram air hood at home instead of shelling out 6-800 bucks for a ready made one. Would this even be possible and if so what would be involved in it? If this is totally stupid sorry it's veryy late...

    Grand Prix Potential...

    So I'm new to this whole gtp scene, I originally bought my prix just for a daily driver but lately I've been looking at having some fun with it. My question is, what is the potential for these cars? Given roughly 10-15k in mods what could you make a gtp capable of beating? A friend of mine...

    New here

    Hi all I'm new to the forum but I've had my 2001 gtp for a couple months now. White w/ camel int. (soon as I find the camera cord I'll put a pic up) all stock for now. Glad to be hear and looking forward to meeting everyone.
