    Looking for a 7th Gen or a G8: Need adivce

    So I this point i'd fed up with the Accord. It's sluggish, handles poorly and isn't that fun to drive: Need to return to Pontiac. I am looking at 04+ GPs and G8s at this point and want to know the basics of what to look for and what what are red flags for these cars. Looking for a car under...

    What I miss about my Grand Prix...and what I don't

    So it has been about a year since I tossed my 01 GT aside and stepped into the import world...and some aspects my driving experience have improved...others have suffered... My stock GT, despite being a joke compared to modded GTPs, was clean and sharp aesthetically. The car just looks badass...

    Low Coolant Light - NOT COOL!

    Second time this week I am getting the low coolant light (arrow pointing down in the coolant symbol) and now I am panicking. I checked oil, regular oil colour (unless I have turned colour blind now, but with my luck my problems don't end with my GP), coolant reserve is at the HOT mark after I...

    Aurora vs Bonneville

    Aside from looking for a super clean 97-03 GTP or a decent 04-08, I have always wanted to make the jump to full-size sport sedans. If it came down between a 97-05 Bonne(or 97-99 LSS) and either generation of Aurora I am at a stand-still. Looks-wise both are incredibly sexy. Both, I hear, are...

    Is this terminal?

    So I made a horrifying discovery while I was polishing off a surface scratch today. Let's just say scratches are the least of my concerns, note that the rust is not that bright, its just my phone's camera flash: So is that it? Should I call the junkyard and tell them to make room or...

    1100-1500 RPM coldstart: Is that normal?

    I've only had my GP GT since May so I haven't seen how it runs in cold weather. Tonight was really chilly and when I started my GP the RPM flew to 1100-1500 RPM at idle. I just wanted to know this is normal?

    Want to upgrade to leather-wrapped Steering wheel and Shift knob

    I want to upgrade to a leather wrapped shift knob and Steering wheel, preferably with steering wheel radio controls. How difficult is installation and where should I go to get it done properly, steering systems being something you do not want to mess with. Also if I get my hands on one with...

    Showing off my new rims :D

    I picked these up off kijiji for $200. They were off a 2000 GTP, very nice. Good deal or what? They got some surface scratches though, anyone can recommend me some good mag polish?

    Tires and Rims advice

    So after spending a few hours on kijiji this morning I came across a set of 4 16inch Grand Prix Hi Polish 5 spoke aluminum alloy rims, $200 for the set. Seeing as how my winter tires are on ugly steelies I decided to go for it and have my car look amazing all year round. The previous owner...

    Is it possible to drive a car that I like?

    I am ****ing sick of this POS GP GT, tranny has P1811, the MAF is failing every other month. I feel like an SE 3.1 could overtake me. I've had the car since May and it is in a whole other state of affairs since when I got it. I shift-kited the tranny and that kinda helped but now I am stalling...

    Hesitates on acceleration sometimes, gas pedal not very senitive

    About three months ago I had my 2001 GT stall at idle and rev high and low on its own so I too it to the dealer and they told me I have a bad Mass Airflow Sensor, ok, replaced it $500 bucks right there. About 2 months ago the car just suddenly feel apart, not getting proper reading from the gas...

    Engine stalling and loss of power while driving

    Last night I was on the road, halfway to my destination when, after creeping from a red light, the car bucked like a thorough-bred, could barely get in gear but after 4-5 seconds it went back to normal and I continued to get on the highway. I thought it was my tranny finally dying, I have the...
