• 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.

Hello everyone,
My name is Scott, and as you can tell, i am new to this site.
I recently purchased a 97 Grand Prix Gt for a daily driver.. but as with any car I own, I have/had to make it my own. I bought it needing a drivers knuckle.. fixed that and now she runs and drives great.
Currently the car is all stock minus the wheels. Picked up a set of Sorvano S5 20s and put on it the day it made it to the driveway. Now i am looking for me some lowering springs and would like to do a gtp top swap, but really could use a little guidance on what all id need to do.
This def isnt my first time with modding a car, i also have a fully built stage 3 ported rotary 2004 RX8GT with Greddy turbo kit running 20 psi boost, a Mazdaspeed Protege that i am in the process of building.. again... and ive had several others in there as well..
i am in ohio, a small town near the WV border called Belpre.
ive attached a photo of the car. any input would be appreciated. thanks

Hey,

There are some very useful threads on this forum for both the top swap & lowering. Go into the 3.8 naturally aspirated section and you will see a sticky on top swaps. That will get you started....also i'm sure somebody who has completed these jobs will add further specifics if needed. Have fun.

Nice looking car, for sure.
 
Car looks great but be careful...that '97 GT has the 4T60E, a very weak vacuum powered crap younger brethren of the 4T65E's from '98+.

Other than that...vids of said RX8 because I love me some Doritos on a steeek :D
