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

GTP, an old Ford, and a N* that never dies.

I figured it's about time for me to make one of these. So a few moths ago I bought one of my favorite cars of all time. My 99 GTP two door. It now has 120,000 miles and my only issue seems to be my alarm liking to go off randomly haha. So far all i've done is change the supercharger coupler and attempt to fix a leak allowing water into my passenger floorboard. I tried the new retainer under the cowl and it didn't seem to work. I think it's coming in from around the door so we'll see. My plans for this car cosmetically is I need to take the crappy tint off since it makes my passenger and rear mirror useless, I would like to get a 40th anniversary rear spoiler, some smoked LED tail lights, chrome quad exhast tips, and maybe some red brake calipers. Performace wise I don't think i'll ever go past a 3.4" pulley, intake, t-stat, plugs and wires of course, a good tune, and an exhaust. But we'll see haha. Any advice, thoughts, comments are appreciated.

My GTP and my Truck.

Nice clean engine.

Paints peeling off the spoiler :(

Awful tint..

Now time for some exhaust clips!
The GTP first.

Re: 1999 GTP.. and a truck

Same here.. I baby mine though haha. Completely original apart from the paint hah. Only gets about 10-12 mpg though.
 


Well I figured I'd update everything since its been a while! I've done a bit to my car now so finally there's something interesting to read. Well first off, a new tie rod end:
and now my favorite thing i've done, even though its very simple it brings me much joy, my $20 intake :rolleyes:

and a video with said intake:

Now for the long story.. I bought rotors and pads and decided to go to the other side of the state so me and my dad could put them on, So I attempted to do them saturday and it turns out my calipers had never been greased and they failed to release the pads from the rotors causing quite the smoke storm. So I now have one blue rotor from the heat and since I had class monday and we still didn't have it fixed sunday.. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.



So since the GP was not able to drive across the state, for the next two weeks until my dad can make a trip out here to give me my car back...

The Eldorado is back! I swear this is the cleanest Eldorado left on the planet.. Not a spot of rust on this thing, even on the underside. Today it even hit 175,000 miles.. A N* with 175,000 miles??

and it still has plenty of life left in it!


So for now that is all, but in the very near future there will be Headers and a 3.5 pulley coming! As for the distant future goes.. Has anyone tried to cram an LS4 in a 97-03 body? :th_mischievious:
