Welcome.

There is some w-body support around yet.

Batwood is still loyal to them though.

Sounds like you need to think about a top-swap :)

[Deimos]

What's "too much gas" exactly?


And welcome to the forum. I wouldnt want to put lowering springs on a DD, unless they arent too aggressive.

those cars are like chevy 2500s, worst gas mileage ever. i just hope his intake if he has one isn't pvc pipe. haha welcome

[FiFdYnUtZ]

Irk what you guys are talking about but my Gtp got 30+ always and was decently modded.....your not from Bp are you jaren?

[85XR7Project]

Have you owned one? I have and I know you have no idea what you are talking about. I suppose thats normal from someone who wanted an Rx7 thinking it'd be reliable...

[AutoMods]

welcome

mine gets alright gas mileage, but then again i have a heavy foot.

Dude, lay off the crack rocks..

The 3800's are great on gas for what they are.
The beaten up 170k mile GTP i drove for a weekend (and almost bought it instead of my old 91 bird), pulled great and i averaged 24mpg and that was mostly city driving. 30mpg is not uncommon at all for them on the highway.

[Krumm]

at least he was right about the chevy 2500 thing, i get 9.

[clutchmuch]

well, shiyt. my ex had one an it ate gas. must just have been her car. Who said i said that the rx7 would be reliable? i just wanted to get some rwd action :D

[Deimos]

btw iwi guy has some spare parts

[Batwood]

Anything will get shitty mileage if its not maintained. I got almost 30mpg on the highway in a high 12 second car last year.

Glad to see another W-body on here!

I'd like to make it to the W-body meet.... not sure if my car will done seeing as i just put the motor in it today.
Its at Tri-State again, I'm assuming?

[Deimos]

yeah well hers get 18-22 with her driving lead foot and she does like 800 miles a week.

[Batwood]

Oh... CFR on the 14th?
I'm planning on being there, seeing as it actually started and ran ok last night. I'm not sure if I'll be racing, but I'll bring my ugly, dirty, hunk of junk up I suppose.

[Stutz]

I dont see what the big deal about the pvc intake is. Shit does the exact same thing that a $200 cold air intake does.

On my last trans when i lost 4th gear i still could get around 29/30, with my new trans i can get 30 to 35 highway. Headers or downpipe or even just a ubend delete helps a lot

yea saves alot of money. are you on grandprixforums.net?

[Stutz]

Yeah i dont get on there much tho. Way too many kids asking the same dumb question or talking about putting "tap out" stickers on their car and painting their interiors all red. I stick to clubgp

[Deimos]

Haven't seen anyone want to put tap out stickers on their cars yet, the big thing mainly all want HIDS

[85XR7Project]

Clubgp is nothing but trolls and arguments. I went there to be a dick sometimes.

you can buy a little short ram type deal at advance for $20 so it looks moderately decent and wont melt.

I should have saved the link, he had tap out floor mats too. Too many followers on grandprixforums that swing off the moderators nuts and think the mods are wbody gods or something. Its sad when i see someone post that has a stock gtp and says fuck zzp they suck blah blah when obviously they have no experiance with them just what they saw someone else said on the forum.

[Jaren 05 STi]

i think i know who your talking about lol

but yea, clubgp is full of asses and trolls from what i hear. i never got accepted either.

[Deimos]

lol I got in an arguement of whether or not pacesetter sucks with blue aka nick. I was totally talking out my ass cuz pacesetter made a junk header for a honda and it fell apart so I was saying the ones for GTP's were crap. i was totally talking out of my ass and he called me out on it. Its all good in the fox kids hood.

[Batwood]

Clubgp is a rough place.
Even the semi-respected guys that know their shit in the engine sections will get attacked and flamed in the "Other Topics."
It sure is funny to read all the drama that gets brought up though.
And if you stay away from OT, you can learn a lot.

[85XR7Project]

Yeah but the OT and race section is hilarious. So freaking retarded!

[Stutz]

I have some eibachs that are a little rusty $50

[z28z34man]

[Jaren 05 STi]

ifonly they werent rusty! :/

[85XR7Project]

Why does that matter? I'm sure your current springs are rusty too.

[Jaren 05 STi]

true but i just wouldnt want to buy something thats rusty. plus ive decided to get wheels first.

[Batwood]

You looking to lower the GP?
I have a set of 4 KYB GR2 Struts with SSC lowering springs.
Struts, mounts, springs have 5k miles. Not rusty!
I'd take $350 for all 4.

(came off an 01 Regal. Will fit 97-03 W-bodies)

[Stutz]

^pretty good deal!

[Jaren 05 STi]

yea it is, ill have to get back at u on that one.

[Batwood]

Sorry... sold.
