Default Grand Prix body

Does anyone know where I could get a good 200mm or even 190mm Pontiac Grand Prix body? I know protoform and one or two other companies make them, but are there any others out there? I got bored with my RS4 rally so I'm going to make it front wheel drive and make it look as close to my GP as possible.

I'd like to find a grand prix body too since i have a 2002 GTP, looked on protoforms page but no grand prix bodies.

Thats a pretty good time losi xxx-ntkid, what kinda mods you got? I'm on my 2nd tranny in my GTP fun fun . Last times i got was 13.97 with my old mods [sm=lol.gif]

Not bad for those mods, don't be running that pulley in the summer without race gas you'll get all kinds of KR.

Yeah i had my trans replaced under warranty cause i got an extended warranty when i bought it last year so it's not a factory warranty.

My mods at the time i had a 3.4 pulley, intense PCM, FWI, gutted stock cat, WP pulley and i was getting bout 5* of KR at the top of 2nd [:'(]
I got a MPS w/ 2.9 pulley, 3" downpipe, Ported front mani, Ported supercharger outlet, PCM, WP pulley, FWI, alcohol injection, fuel pump rewire, 1.9 rockers w/ls1 valve springs, and going to install my boost activated cutout i made whenever it warms up an stops raining . I'm hoping to hit times like yours with my mods just cause some say i can't do it .

Stock RSA's with 75,000 miles on them , amazingly enough they still have about 1/8 amount of tread on them. I need some new ones soon breaking the tires loose at 35mph isn't fun, and i try not to spin them to much due to the tranny being stock. I'm going to try for a low 13 on street tires i don't wanna use slicks.

Only thing i've opened on the car is the valve covers an took the blower off cause i bought a spacer which was suppose to reduce heat worthless piece of junk is all it was. The only thing it done that was good was make the belt wrap around the charger better.

if your tires are getting bald them you need to change them because if you get in any kind of an accident the it is your fault and insurance will not cover the damage

Never had a problem with insurance an excessive tire wear i suppose that's possible if the insurance company wants to get really picky about an accident.

Tuning problems with what?

LOL man it runs fast, i don't know what times i'm going to turn with it though that's what i was saying. It doesn't need any tuning maybe a few tweeks to the AFC but that's about it. I can't complain with a 2.9 pulley i get around 14-15psi of boost 18* of timing an 0 knock on pump 93 gas.

You even have any exhaust work done to your car? With only a 3.25 pulley CAI and a PCM on regular pump gas man i bet your about to blow up your motor [:'(]. You ever scanned it with an LS1m or autotap?

And about that accident, if it wasn't your fault then it shouldn't have matter'd to your insurance company if you was running on bologna skins or not. The only time bald tires will come into play is if the accident is YOUR fault. In which the insurance should still pay for the other persons car and they will still pay for your car if you have full coverage but they might not give you the full amount my may deduct some for worn tires etc. etc.. After all that's the purpose of having insurance.

All the mods you said you had was a 3.25 and a CAI with race gas, that WILL blow up your motor with no other supporting mods unless you have alky. I can see being able to run a 3.25 with headers CAI and race gas. Without the race gas though what kinda KR are you seeing? Anything over 1* i think is unacceptable but that's me, alot will tell you 1-4* is "safe".

Yeah i've seen the intense car, they are about 40mins away from me so i went there to get my PCM. Most of my stuff i bought from ZZP and a few of the things i put together myself like the alky kit. There's a big thing on clubgp about Intense so i've kinda stayed away from them.
