• 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.

WTB 98-02 firebird calipers



He needs the whole set up calipers and all, and I saw those ones on ebay not crazy about drilled rotors or off brands been using power slots since 1991 (plus then they will match his rear rotors) without rotors he wants 152 thats a bit steep for himespecially since he does his own powder coating but thanks guys
 
That's actually a really good deal for new F-body calipers with brackets.

Callahan isn't an off-brand. Zalinsky auto has been selling them for years.

:P
 
Oh I agree on the price not being bad but he can get remans for 106 for the pair or $40.00 from a place Bill recommended powder coating is free since he just bought an oven a gun (after the spartan deal he decided why not just do them himself would come out to the same price as having them done plus now he has the equipment and could do other parts and maybe some side work) and this way he can also can two tone the calipers like he wants to. He meant and off brand on the rotors he likes his power slots lol
 


I was just joking about the off-brand. I have never heard of them outside of Tommy Boy.

BTW, where can you get $40 for complete calipers? PM me if you don't mind. I do a lot of brake work for people and also do my own powdercoating, so a good cheap source of calipers would be awesome.
 
What Bill said he was the one told e abouth them but I find a local guy here has a set for 50. I will see if he can go to 40.00
 


Yards around here have a lot of f bodys but mostly 97 or older last week I found 2 96's 6 95's and about 6 97's that was aggravating I been looking since about october so I am figuring this guy for $50 (he won't go the $40.) with all bolts and brackets and they look in great shape isn't so bad so I can finish the car off Found a 2000 impala police car at the yard I want to get the front sway bar off it but the drivers wheel has a rounded off lug nut and I got the bar loose but can get it out it won't come from passenger side and because of that wheel I can't get the tie rod end out (got the bolt off) is the rear sway on that worth taking? Is that bigger and better then whats on my 97? I know the front is and I can get to the rear easy.
 
Should be better. One way to undo the control arm and the strut. Poof, only thing left is tie rod and it's easy to get at.
 
Thanks bill I was thinking that last night since I am planning on heading to the yard again Tuesday. BTW I got my calipers now I need to rebuild them problem is I bought them from someone who bought them from someone and nobody knows what engine was in the car it came out of. According to Rock auto I need to know the engine size in order to rebuild the caliper since there were two different kits any way I can tell what kit I need just from the caliper? Thanks
 
That's an interesting one that I haven't heard before. Look them up on Rockauto and check. I think the 2 piston were only the V8 cars. And that should be only one kit. If there are different ones, maybe there's a difference in the pictures that you can match up.
 


Hey tanker,

Thanks for the concern but I got a hold of the guy who sold them to me, just a few minutes ago he said that that "they are nuts they are all them but that should it mater it had an LS1 engine" so if I am remembering correctly thats a 350 Yeah!! I think its gonna finnally happen!! Powder coated calipers and an upgrade at that (no thanks to a certain someone) but a huge thanks to the forum
