New guy with a GTP

PurpleGuy

New member
Hey guys i'm new to the forum but i'm also a member on Fullthrottlev6 as well as Camaroz28 and Ls1tech since I own a 97 30th Camaro RS which is a work in progress but a 3800 none the less.

I also had a 95 Camaro with a 3800 so i'm certainly not new to them. Just new to modding them, especially the grand prix since it's FWD. :th_shakinghead2:

Do photobucket pics work on this forum? If so then ill post some pics of the GTP.

Nice ride, loving the purple.
Keep us updated to any mods
Thanks. The purple is just sexy huh? And there don't seem to be very many of them. I have a hard time finding them.

As for mods ill probably get some stuff done around spring since I gotta drive it this winter so I need to invest in winter stuff such as tires and a remote start so my a$$ isn't freezing every morning and so that the motor is nice n warm when I wake up to leave(has a block heater which is nice lol..plus money is tight right now with me having a suspended license and not being able to get to work.

It's absolutely bone stock except for a 180 start with a practically brand new GM crate motor and transmission that the previous owners had installed.

The 180 stat was to help cool it down since it gets a little on the hot side. I think it needs a water pump but I might do the radiator upgrade write up I read yesterday. Plus I need the duct shielding stuff for the bumper cover that's supposed to redirect the airflow to cool the radiator. Hopefully all of that and maybe even some water wetter and shell run cool like she's supposed to.

For performance mods I want as follows:

Headers and downpipe...not sure if i'd want catless or catted-not sure which brand
Intake-I want an Fg4 that one of the guys on Fullthrottlev6 makes....the fg3 looks extremely nice and the fg4 is supposed to be the newer better version
MPS
colder plugs
1.9 rockers...what is all needed to do this....besides the rockers themselves...I know i'll need new gaskets too..but what about springs? are 1.9's agressive enough to need stronger springs....i've just never done anything like rockers before and I'm not sure of everything ill need.
PCM
n* throttle body
ported blower probally too
other little things and that's about it I think
An intercooler if it wasn't so d@mn expensive!!

For appearence mods I want the rims listed above with 245/45/18's
A 40th anniversary hood as well as spoiler and exhaust tips, i'm not too crazy about the roof rails though
I like the SD front air damn but idk on that one....seems kind of riceish on some cars
I'd also like to get projector HID headlights

For the interior:
40th anniversary seats, door panels, and the maybe the big trim piece but i'm not sure on that either.
I'm planing on adding HUD since it doesn't have it.
The carpet is kinda stained up too so I might replace that. If I do then ill throw some dynamat down while i'm at it.
Also a pillar gauge mount and an interceptor scan gauge to monitor KR so I dont blow the d@mn thing up lol.
