• 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.

Man what a long ride to get here. A little background: I bought a brand new GTP in 2000 and had to give it back three weeks later because the dealer went credit shopping after promising a rate they couldn't deliver. My CR dropped from 700+ to 520 in 3 days. I guess the karmic payback was that they now had a "brand new" car with 2000+ miles on it! I felt robbed and have wanted that car back ever since.

So yesterday...almost exactly 10 years later...I bought a 2003 black/black GTP. Technically this is my "Dave Ramsey" car to drive while we get back on track after two kids...but come on...it's a GTP!!!

I'm not planning any extreme modding...tho I've been know to dabble in the past. Mustangs, Cobras, street bikes...I love to wrench. Being that this is my daily driver and I start a longer commute on the 12th; I'm likely to only do simple stuff like the U-Bend, maybe a DIY CAI (I'd really like to be able to hear that 'charger better!) and maybe some suspension work.

I love that this is such an lively board. Cars like these really deserve an active community.

Cheerz!
 


DD's are MUCH more fun on a smaller pulley (like a 3.5 or 3.4) and that way you can hear the blower down the block when youre in the throttle heavy.

if you do a ported blower just right you can get it to start whining around 2 psi.
 
Hey thanks Joe, I'm a bit south of you in Queen Creek.

Lookin' to stop by HD/Lowes tonight and pick up some pieces for a FWI. Been reading a lot of the guides on DIY stuff and think I've got it figured out. I did one for my 02 Cobra many moons ago, looks like this can be done pretty much the same.

I'd like to find someone to hack out the u-bend for me here in the next couple weeks.

<edit>Wow...someone needed more coffee this morning...my wife chastised me that our Cobra was an '01, though we bought it in '02...(insert facepalm here)</edit>
