Well as soon as I get my tax return I plan on doing a shitload of maintenance and hopefully upgrading to the GTP. Mainly going to focus on suspension but got some other stuff to do as well. I'll post the parts and stuff I plan on doing and lemme know if I'm missing something. I'll link most of this stuff from zzp just cause it makes it easier. I'll look for deals when I actually get the money haha. KYB GR-2 Struts $239.99 (this is a for sure thing, my struts are really worn out) StrutsGMPP Rear Sway Bar $66.99 Rear Sway BarYokohama Avid V4S $89.00 (need 2) TiresEibach Lowering Kit ($232) (this one is if I can get the fender fixed cheap) Lowering KitAlso I plan on changing alot of the fluids and filters: Transmission Fluid + filter Coolant + Purple ICE additive Fuel Filter I'll need an alignment with the new struts and springs. ($80ish?) And the big thing will be getting that right front fender fixed. I found one in a yard close by for $125. Doesn't sound too bad and I don't want to get another one shipped cause my last one got fucked up. (I'm also going to look into getting that one fixed, not sure if it can be done cheap) I plan on putting the fender on myself, I don't think it should be that hard. Any tips on that? Also anyone got a fender painted before? Wondering how much you paid to get it done. Oh ya need to do brakes too. Probably just go with white box rotors and some good pads unless I find a nice deal on upgraded stuff. I'll add more to this thread when I think of it, just needed a place to write all this shit down haha. |

Damn, that's a cheap price for those upgraded swaybars! Wonder if you have to drop the cradle to change out the front bar?

I'll take all things lowered for $100 please!
Glad to hear you still have interest in the car though. I kinda thought once you got that GTS you might back away from the GTP.

Well the gtp got a little fucked on this deal haha. I did order the struts, strut mounts, s/c oil, new intake tubing and 2 new tires for it though. Also changed the tranny fluid on saturday and plan on doing the coolant and fuel filter next week. I kinda pissed away some of the money and the I ordered some stuff for the lebaron. The GTS is getting +20 injectors, Adjustible FPR, Autometer boost and a/f gauges. Should be able to run it at 20psi or so and it should walk the GTP haha. Still going to fix that fender on the GTP! Going to the yard next weekend hopefully.

Going to the yard next weekend hopefully. all on a little 2.2L with over 240,000 miles  those 2.2/2.5 engines are kick ass, i'd really like to own another TD someday; they are just so damn easy to make fast on the cheap! btw i'm going to Buffalo this Friday and then Sheridan in about 2 weeks, so i should be able to pick up that fender for you then while i'm there. that kicks ass it just happens to be Redfire Metallic already; no painting required from what i could tell when i looked at it a few days ago it was in perfect condition and the paint looked really nice too. |
