1998 GTP, many new parts, extras, suspension and brakes, great daily driver!
Hey guys, it’s time to move on from my GTP. All good things must come to and end…
1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP:
Bright white exterior, neutral leather interior.
Sunroof, every factory option but the HUD
Body has 127xxx miles. Paint is in good condition, always kept waxed and loved.
I put the following parts in the car over the course of the last 11,000 miles with the object of making my “perfect” daily driver. However, it just doesn’t meet my purpose anymore. The drive train has NEVER had a mod on it. The engine is 100% factory down to the airbox.
Drivetrain:
Very low mileage L32 long-block (from Ed)
Fully built transaxle with pawl sprags, hard 4th clutch shaft, extra clutches, and other new parts as required (better than a factory build!)
Brand new torque converter
Brand new Eaton M90 blower
Lots of low mileage electronics and other engine parts (injectors, etc)
99+ style airbox and coolant bottle
New passenger-side axle
New passenger-side wheel hub assembly
New NAPA solid motor and transaxle mounts
“Flipped” dogbone mounts
Ground wire upgraded, two extra ground wires run
Body:
SLP “gen 1” wide spoiler
Perfect-fit car bra
Car-bra mirror covers
Regal cabin air filter
ZZP high-power reverse lights (woot)
Blue rear bumper “PONTIAC” inserts
Wheels:
Winter wheels; factory white 5-star wheels with Bridgestone Winterforce 225/60/16’s (nearly new!)
Summer wheels; Fittipaldi Force 17x8 5x115 wheels with Yokohama ES100 245/45/17’s (about 20% tread left, should last the rest of the season)
Brakes and suspension:
12” front brake upgrade with new rotors and Wagner thermo-quiet ceramic pads
GMPP suspension package (front and rear sway bars, trailing arms)
Lower mileage struts with stock springs in the rear, GMPP lowering springs in the front (stock front springs included)
New tie rods on both sides
Interior:
Very few scratches, blemishes, etc. The rear seats have hardly ever been used
Replaced “poop brown” interior pieces with matching dark graphite
Replaced all DIC bulbs
All dash clips have been “fixed” to avoid rattles and squeaks from the dash.
Stereo:
Totally custom install by Ryan Cayton with new wiring run throughout the whole car. I wanted a good sounding system since I drive so much.
Alpine CDA-9815 head unit with remote (yes, MP3 compat) with Alpine T200RF XM Radio system installed (XM Radio through the head unit!)
Polk DB5250 51/4” component system in the doors
Alpine 6x9 speakers in the rear
Custom-built flush-mount dual 10” sub box with Rockford Fosgate Punch subs. The box looks totally factory and raises the trunk floor by 2.5”, leaving the entire trunk totally usable including the pass through! XM controller and AMP both mounted under the box for a totally clean look!
JL Audio e6450 6 channel amp, two channels bridged to the subs, two channels feed the front components! Rear speaks take power from the deck.
PAC steering wheel control module, wiring installed but it’s not hooked up. Never got around to it.
All original boxes and packaging for the stereo components included except for the 6x9’s
Engine ground wire upgraded, two extra ground wires run
Bad things:
Has the notorious intermediate steering shaft “clunk”, never got around to lubing the shaft to eliminate the clunk.
That’s really the only “bad” thing. Other than that, everything works great, no issues, nothing. The car really is pretty great. I’m asking $6500 firm for everything. Clear title in hand, and you get everything as a package. I am NOT interested in demodding yet, so don’t even ask. I want to try and move everything at once before I think about pulling it apart.
Let me know if you have any questions, want to come see the car, or want specific pictures of anything. I’ll be getting better pics as soon the weather is nice, it’s been crappy here all weekend. I’m near Columbus, in Central Ohio.
BTW, if you want to buy mods for it, I'll install any basic mods (pulley, etc) for free after I have cleared payment. Just bring me the parts and a puller, etc.
Damn, that's a sweet ass trunk install. I didn't know Cato could do that stuff. Too bad he lives in TX now.
Yea, cato is the man. He did the entire install, I didn't touch a thing. Built the box and all. I was really lucky to have his help. It was perfectly what I wanted.
