• 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.

    Buying a used 284?

    I may be able to jump on a used 284 cheap. What are some of the things to look out for? For example: Cracked case? deal-breaker. metal shavings in oil? Keeping in mind that a 20-yr old tranny is going to show signs of wear of course.

    GtpKo's 2000 GTP

    Now that I've actually begun modding, I thought I would start a thread about my GTP. I bought it back in March 2007 in Buffalo, NY. It had 102k miles on it, IIRC the total price was $6995. This was taken just before I made the purchase. First thing I noticed was a bad misfire under WOT...

    Whats your Cylinder Index?

    I got this idea from a radio show "Garage Logic" over in Minnesota back when I lived there and I thought it would be cool to do here. Basically your C.I. or Cylinder Index is the total of cylinders in all of the cars/trucks/cycles/lawnmowers/etc that you personally own. No company vehicles or...

    Why people dont like forums

    :th_shakinghead2: While reading a relatively recent post where someone asked an honest question, I noticed one response in particular by an experienced member that took more time to be sarcastic than to actually say something useful. If you think someone posted a question that they could have...

    $50Mil Lotto Jackpot

    I'm sure news has spread... $50 million won by a group of 19 call centre workers at Bell. Well, I also work for Bell, in the same building as the winners! And... on our floor we also play the same lottery with the same 20-ish people every week. From what I hear, they were playing $20 each...

    LIM gasket before & after

    When I replaced the LIM gasket yesterday, it took me 18hrs! (well 4hrs break, 4 hours due to meticulous cleaning, and doing it in the driveway where it's 25 deg and windy, first time LIM for me.) I took alot of pictures, but I thought I would share some of what I found... First, the injectors...

    What would an 04+ coupe look like?

    What would an 04+ look like if they made them as a coupe as well? It took about an hour or so. Wouldn't a 2-door look awesome?

    Interactive flash web app for 3800 cars

    Here's an idea I had while daydreaming the other day. I'm thinking of a flash or java app on a website made for the 3800 community. Centering around mods n such. It would be all graphical, you start by chosing your car, '98 GP GT 2door, '02 Regal GS, etc. It would show a picture on the screen...

    swapped in Bose speakers... now only 1 works

    Earlier this week, I scored a couple bose speakers from an 00 GTP in the junkyard, the two front ones. First the front right one didn't work, maybe I didn't connect it all the way, OK, but then this morning the other front one(left) went silent as well as the rear left one? WTF? Great...

    2 different misfire problems fixed

    Ok first, my car is a 2000 GTP w. 158k mi on it. No mods (except for a k&n filer, which isnt a mod anyway). I was having an intermittent misfire problem when under high load and low rpms(driving up a steep hill or bridge) which would go away after a downshift and rpms were high. Felt like a buck...

    Chipping paint and rust under the stock spoiler

    I have heard that a common problem with stock spoilers is that the paint chips off and it starts to rust out underneath. I have had this problem with my car. Here's what I did to fix it. After carefully removing the bolts that hold the spoiler on, 4 of 6 were rusty, I noticed there was alot of...

    Water getting into blower motor?

    Hi guys, this is actually my first post here, but I'm short on time at the moment and have to get straight to the point. I have a 2000 GTP w/ 152k miles. I have had alot of trouble with the blower motor(s). In '08 I replaced the old one which had worn out brushes. I also replaced the resistor...
