• 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.

    1997 GTP starts every time...for five seconds

    Hi folks- I'm having an annoying issue with my '97 GTP. As it says in the thread title, the car starts first time every time and runs just fine, but only for five to ten seconds. After that, it just winds back down to zero RPM - no sputtering, no noises, no drama; it just shuts off as if I'd...

    Removing seats

    Hi folks- I find myself with a need to remove the passenger seat and back seat in a 97 GTP coupe. I know the seat in the back just pulls out with a quick release, and the passenger seat you just keep unbolting things until it lifts out, but what about the back of the back seat? I see a handful...

First off, I switched shops because the last one apparently mixed green...

    Lower ball joints, outer tie rods 97 GP

    When I had my new tires put on, I was told by the shop that I need lower ball joints and outer tie rods. I've been getting a rattle over bumps for a few weeks, so this isn't really a surprise. The shop gave me a quote of just under $700 for all new Moog parts installed. Labor at this shop is...

    Another exciting and original intro thread

    Hi folks- I've been dropping by this site for a few months as a visitor and I figured it was finally time to sign up and make a post. I've owned a white 1997 GTP Coupe for a year and some change, and it's a terrific car. I bought it from the original owner via the dealer where he traded in. The...
