hi everyone, i am a first time grand prix owner. 98' gt. i love the car so far, not sure what i can do with it but there is a lot of buzz about different mods and things that can be done. anyway, 3.8, 105k miles. i have noticed a few things that i need to address with the car. i had a few mechanics who are good friends look at the car before i bought it and they said it looks to be ok. however after a month i noticed my coolant light came on and after checking, i found bars leak in the radiator:( it goes off after a couple minutes. probably coated the contacts on the sensor is my guess. anyway, i don't know much about this car except it has just enough get up and go to get me interested in what, fairly inexpensive mods i can do to make it faster... i guess beyond that i am here just to see what others are doing and learn some more about my gt.

Welcome. I just joined the other day, myself. I also just bought a 1998 GT with 87k, and it is my first Grand Prix, as well. I hope you enjoy it, because I have had mine for just over a week, and I absolutely love it. Mine needs a lower intake gasket, oil pan gasket, rear brakes, and I just noticed the ends of the sway bar are starting to separate, so I'm gonna replace that, too. Then, the mods can start. Once again, enjoy the ride!
 
dang.. you guys are finding some good mileage cars... I just bought mine from my mom back in March.. its an '01 w/127,xxx on the clock.. it also has the leaky valve covers.. so I'll be looking into replacing them.. other then that.. the car is SOLID... i love it!!!!!

oh yeah... BTW... welcome
