Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Finally time for a ride thread!

Galaxy silver 2001 GTP

Bought it for $3k in Feb 2012 with 96k miles on it. Has a few dings but overall not bad for an 11 year old car.

Had to replace ignition switch the first week. Super easy

Threw on ****ty ebay intake for the moment.

Just tinted the windows, 20% all around.


Heres some pics.

Re: BlackFlag's Galaxy GTP

It's a great start. I wish my first one looked that good.
Silver always looks nice tinted.
 
Re: BlackFlag's Galaxy GTP

Thanks Rico.

Forgot to add that i needed to get new pads and rotors. Bought some Eline molded drilled and slotted rotors for pretty much the same price of regs.

I actually hate chrome. I really want some 98ish cobra rims like bigburban has/had.
As far as plans for the car, I really can't say. I want a clean stock like look.
As far as performance goes, I'm going headers 3.4 tune. I think that should be fine for a daily, but I dunno once the quickness wears off I'm sure I'll want to go further.
 




BlackFlag's Galaxy GTP (Wheels acquired)

So I went to put them on and fail. I need thinner lug nuts.
I put one on and hand tightened the lugs to see what it looked like. It looks better than I thought it would but it looks like its hurting for a squir.... wait, I mean drop.
Went to the parts store to pick some up and they all sucked. Going to order some nice ones online when i get some extra cash.
I suppose they will just sit in the garage until then.

Heres the pic with one on.
