    3800 bye bye gtp

    I traded in my GTP last night and bought an 01' VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. It's a sharp little car, IMO. I'll try an get pics asap. I forgot the cable to connect my digi cam to my computer. So I'll have to borrow my friend's camera.

    3800 GI: demod

    I think I might be trading my GTP in soon. I need something with better gas mileage and that doesn't require premium. And I've come to the conclusion that modding cars isn't the greatest idea for a college student. Here's what I have: 2004 Comp G 5 spoke 17" chrome wheels and tires. Good tread...

    3800 weird popping noise while turning

    I drive a 97 GTP with ~88k miles and sometimes when I turn I hear a weird popping noise coming from the front of the car. I've noticed it for a little while but it didn't happen too much. Lately it's been happening a lot more consistently. I dunno if it has something to do with the struts or if...

    3800 gas mileage

    I was wondering why I get such low gas mileage. A co-worker of mine has a 350z and he drove me around in it. He was showing me some of the features and he has a info center that displays how many miles he has left on his tank as well. At 3/4 of a tank it said he had over 400 miles left on the...

    3800 Did anyone get Sox tickets?

    White Sox tickets went on sale today at noon and I was on ticketmaster right away. I tried to buy 4 tickets for game 2 but somehow they all sold out in like 3 minutes. Either that or they didn't have 4 open seats together. I find that a little hard to believe. I was planning on keeping 2 and...

    3800 Will this work?

    http://www.autometer.com/cat_mounts.aspx?sid=49 I recently purchased a boost/vacuum gauge and wanted to mount it behind the steering wheel. I was just wondering if anyone has used these before and if so how much would it block the rest of the gauges. Also, does anyone have the link for that...

    3800 What causes muscle spasms?

    About a week ago the area right below my left armpit began to spasm. I think that's the correct term. It kinda pulsates when I'm not doing anything. It doesn't hurt or anything it just feels really weird and is pretty annoying. Does anyone know what could have caused this? This has happened to...

    3800 My first track experience.

    I ran a total of 4 times. I would have liked to have gone more but towards they end someone leaked oil or something and were only running 1 lane. This was my first time at the track and I was hoping for mid 14's. 1) 15.604 @ 93.98 I knew it was bad because JET wouldn't tell me what I ran. 2)...

    3800 I could use some opinions on gauge mounting

    Ok, so I have a 2 gauge pod with an A/F ratio, and a trans temp gauge from when I had my GT. Now that I have a GTP I want to buy a boost gauge. I know that the A/F ratio gauge is pointless, so should I just stick with the 2 gauge pod and buy a boost gauge and keep the trans temp? Or should I buy...

    3800 So my brother wants to race me in his Jeep

    My brother is home on leave and he told me that he wants to race me in his 01 Jeep Cherokee and he's pretty confident because he says he'll put $100 on it. I think he thinks that because he has a V-8 that he's automatically faster than my little ol' V-6. :rolleyes: Too bad he flew home this...

    3800 Question about DHP pcm

    Will the DHP effect the life of my trans at all? Oh, and would someone be able to help me install this at the mod day? I'm not sure what it all entails. TIA, Andrew

    3800 Let's play a game...

    About a month and a half ago JET and I had my pulley, plugs, and t stat installed. Later that night my car starts and then dies 4 seconds later. The next day JET puts on a bypass for the fuel pump resistor and it drives good as new. Then a few days later my car starts and then dies again after a...

    3800 Is this anyone's car?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-PONTIA...1QQcmdZViewItem I was browsing through ebay and came across this pretty nice looking GP. I was just wondering if it used to belong to anyone from here.

    3800 Is it worth it?

    I drive a 97 GTP with approx 84k miles. The body of my car has definitely seen better days. The clearcoat is chipping away on my spoiler and near one of my grills. There are numerous chips on the hood and a chip about the size of a quarter that is down to bare metal and exposed a rust spot...

    3800 OK, who was it?

    I was leaving Harvest Bible Chapel in Elgin today(7/10) around 10:45ish and I was right behind a red gtp coupe. I'm guessing it was a 97-98 because it looked like he had the hipo 5 stars. The only visible mod was the dual slant exhaust tips. Oh and hyperwhite lights. I also noticed he had what...

    3800 GP sighting

    I was driving Westbound on 53 just East of Buffalo Grove today around 4pm and I saw a black coupe. I didn't see any badging so I'm not sure if it was a gt or a gtp. It had oval exhaust tips and black corners. Just curious if it was anyone from here.

    3800 Car starts then dies. Help!

    I go to my car after work tonight and start it up. It starts up but then sputters and dies a second later. After it dies the battery light comes on. I'm assuming that it's the alternator since it starts and then dies. I just had a pulley, t-stat, and spark plugs installed this morning too, so I...

    3800 What's the address of the DIY mod site?

    I came across a site a few weeks ago that had a lot of instructions about how to install mods. I was just wondering if anyone knew the address to that site. I forgot to bookmark it. TIA, Andrew.

    3800 Is anyone into martial arts?

    I'm looking to start taking lessons for some kind of martial arts. I was mainly thinking about kick boxing, but would be open to others. I am going to college in Palos Heights this fall so I was wondering if anyone knows of any good martial arts schools out there.
