Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Your welcome and thanks for the support bro. It's been 9 years in, so many fun times in Iraq and at home. Now though after back surgery, it is time to throw in the towel. Starting on 06Jun I will begin my MEB (medical evaluation board). Not sure what I'm going to to after I get out though LOL. I know one thing though, I will keep working on my GTP.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
soldiers dont get enough respect as it is. People dont really appreciate what you all do for us on a daily basis. I know this is just a comment on GPF but hopefully it still means something to you.
And as for your grand prix...
your slacking

Naw man, I appreciate all the people that support us. It does mean a lot to me reading these comments. As for the GTP lol, yes I'm slacking, but that is from funds. Family first before the car LOL.

MEB huh, yall get the hook up and I respect yall. I should have re-uped just to get MEBd. Instead im barley lookin at 40% with all my injuries. Good luck to ya man, I know the process can be irritating at times. ACAP will hook you up with a bunch of opportunities on the outside. Dont miss out on them man. They really want to set you up for success. Get that 214 and never look back.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
It's funny you saying that. I have two cans of that chit sitting my garage. I did the tails on my 97, but the left tail on this car is so bad. I will tint them after I get a better left tail. Here is my 97 with the tinted tails...

Hey go back and claim the PTSD, being an 11Bravo they should be able to bump you up to 80% at least. Might try to link up with ya near Hood next time I come home for a weekend.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Well that was after 2 coats. The first time I tinted those I used 5 coats, it was to dark and I was in fear of being rear ended. I will most likely do 3 coats or save up money and have Flip do the ones I go with.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Been a while since I have updated. Been busy at work. Did brake pads and rotors on all 4 corners. Replaced a dying fuel pump, rear valve cover gasket. Drain and fill on the coolant. Installed a *180 T-stat. Replaced the vacuum T under the snout. Still only producing 3lbs of boost at WOT. Until I get some time to do the LIM guess I gotta live with it. Took it out on back road for a WOT pull. Took a screenshot of the Torque app. I was doing 106mph when I took the screenshot.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Well, I just got done a few days ago with treatment for PTSD. Took a 43 day trip to a center in SA, TX. I got back to Fort Polk hoping that my GP had not been fuqed with, and to my surprise as we drove up to the parking lot where I had parked, I hit the remote start button and it fired right up. Took it for a drive, got some dinner, then went through an auto car wash. Went to pull out of the car wash and exhaust pipe and mufflers got hung up. After getting out, I looked under the car and my ENTIRE exhaust system was on the ground with my mufflers bound up against my bumper. It literally pulled both mufflers off. So I walked down to a parts house, got some wire and rigged up my remaining pipe. It is so loud and nasty, I can barely hear my stereo now FML!!!! Oh well, luckily I have some family willing to get me a new exhaust system. So now I'm on the hunt for a cheap bolt on kit, can't afford custom bent and welded exhaust. Might just take a video of the nasty exhaust for fun.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
About a few days ago I took the ride to an exhaust shop near Fort Polk and for $328 I got new pipe(2 1/4), resonator, 2 turbo mufflers and some cheesy split tips all welded up. Gotta say it sounds awesome. Will take a video of it tomorrow after I paint all of it with some black high heat paint. The exhaust shops back home in TX wanted $550, so I consider what I paid to be fair.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP
Got the exhaust all painted up with high heat flat black paint and put on some new rubber hangers. Took a vid of the exhaust, sounds ok. Might sound better with a sub. In person it sounds awesome, not to loud, slight drone with a light rumble. I know the tips are sh!t, but due to time of getting it done I did not have time to get better tips.
