• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • 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.

Trifecta Tune for LS4

Trifecta won't sell it anymore. I know someone here has to have it. I have the Trifecta cable, which I used to bring my Solstice to life. Now, I need this tune to do the same with my GXP. Please help!
 


don't bother with trifecta. they are dishonest. they ripped off bad news racing years ago. it wasn't on this platform, but they were still dishonest. I think it was on the Cruze 1.4 turbo platform.

in my opinion, your best bet is to pick up an HP Tuner and have James Brewer aka joats premium tuning do it. James is a solid tuner and very familiar, actually quite intimate, with the LS4 platform

Trifecta did a wonderful job on my Solstice. Brewer turned off my DoD and charged me $500. That's why I'm here, in search of Trifecta. (Please note that I've seen the list of what Brewer allegedly does, though it was not provided by him. The only thing that AFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR is the DoD, at a time when premium is approaching $5 a gallon. I need help!)
 


I spoke with Mr. Brewer and am relaying this message from him.

[FONT=&quot]"I knew this moron was an idiot when you got mad my spell check spelled your name incorrectly, you didn't get bent, you had unrealistic expectations. You claim that you read trifecta could add 60hp which is physically impossible, and you have no idea what you are talking about. Also, the tuner module is 430$ brand new, that was part of the cost you endured so I hardly call that "Getting bent over". If you couldn't afford the hptuners module, you shouldn't of bought it. But, have fun hunting for the unrealistic expectations that'll never get fulfilled. Mr Clearly."[/FONT]

Just as much of a liar as he is when he advertises his tune. I'll just make two points:

1. I have two free degrees from an expensive private university. No "moron" can say that unless he is a football player. I promise you I have never played a down of college football.

2. I never claimed 60 hp from Trifecta. I claimed 15-30, which is what they advertised, and 15-30 more than Brewer gave me. (BTW, they gave me 40 on my Solstice.)
 
Oh, and not being a "moron," I didn't pay anything close to $430 for the module. His charges to me were considerably more than to you, hence the bending over.
 
and here we are again, me not looking for a tune for my LS4 because I have one, as well as a computer with HP Tuners functioning on it and a working HP Tuners cable that has tons of support for many vehicles, including my 2002 Silverado and my 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP.

Trifecta seems to have been the wise and intelligent choice for you.

Are you changing your mind about Brewer charging you 500 dollars?

it also seems funny that you feel the need to advertise your reception of two free degrees from private colleges. Education does not denote intelligence. I would also denote that free means worthless.

No, free means "paid for by the institution because of my objectively measured intelligence."

Since you know more than me on this subject, can you direct me to someone who sells a useful HP Tuners tune? The forum section dedicated to that is basically empty.
 
find a local dyno tuner. then you can rag on him in person. if your car is stock you are not gaining much at all. the most of the tune your gonna feel is the trans tune.

or since you claim your so damn smart. buy some tuning books and or vids and learn to tune it yourself. no one left to blame but yourself then.
