Im josh, and i am the proud new owner of a 2005 grand prix gtp. i purshed it about a month ago and have already been bitten by the mod bug.
last week i installed a set of speed daddy headers, and gave her a tune up. This is my first boosted car but not my first 3800, i owned a 96 oldsmobile 88 i got from my father with 215,000 miles on original engine and trans. the engine spun the number 6 rod bearing about three months later. I picked up another series 2 with unknown mies and decied to rebuild, so i went top to bottem with new parts and it ran like when i was done. this site really helped me then but i wasnt a member yet.
i then started another project after the 88 was done. My 96 oldsmobile aurora, it had the dreaded northstar pulled headbolts. So i decided to rebuild it as well, new bearings and gaskets threw out, plus the northstar performance head studs witch required drilling and retaping of all head bolt holes. I dove it till i found the grand prix and had to have it. Ive wanted a grand prix for a long time and waited till i found a great one. it has 165,000 with oil change records every 3,000 miles since new, also has a 70,000 mile transmision. garage kept and always waxed and cleaned. I will make a members ride thread when i have some time to upload pictures. also if you want any pics of the northstar build just let me know, i have tons.
thanks
