I been wanting to do the same thing, but I feel that if I plastic dip the chrome trim, it will eventually peel off, due to constant washing. I'm thinking in maybe spraying some tint spray that they use for the tail lights, but then I'm not sure if it'll work...

Use real paint if you are going to do it. No tint sht or plasti dip.


Flat black, matte black, or gloss black.

Electrical tape FTW!

You're right - it peels after about 6-7 months. I spray painted mine gloss black.

;crap

Well, shes gone....

Most painful thing to see.

don't remember if i ever saw a thread but what led to it's demise.

Just random reading is that I figure he got tired of the security light and battery dieing or something along those lines and eventually wanted to part it out.

Saw many posts on GAOC of him having problems with the security light and battery.

i don't do that side of the GA community anymore so..

if i had an engine hoist mine would probably be gone too..probably won't get shit for my cam and 3500 top end since people who own GA's are cheap and want everything for nothing but i can't fathom scrapping it with those parts still in it.

Depends how much you would want for the motor.

Yea. I never got on this side of the tracks too much. PassLock was the main issue. The battery jus died from sitting so long. But its a new battery, after sitting on the charger/tender for a couple weeks, it now sits in the next project, where it happily cranks an old school 302.

Beyond PassLock, tranny was going, instrument cluster didnt work, and many other things. So i jus ended stripper her out and parting it out. Sold off what i could, made a pile of parts that i think someone might need, and another pile of stuff i will try and use in the next project. After waiting this long, the privious owner of the new project was asking if he could drop that off over the weekend. So i made a date with the local salvage yard.

I'm the same way. Hard trying to sell custom performance parts. No one wants to spend the money that you did, and want to lowball the hell out of ya. My JBP head and cams are sitting in a box in the garage.

motors got around 10k on it. i've had it since i got it with 300 miles on it. one of the reasons why i got the motor to begin with was it only had 300 miles on it. paint wasn't even worn off the water pump.

bought the LIM directly from WOT-TECH and the heads were bought from another member but lightly ported by them too.

i never expected to get what i paid for the parts but people with these cars are cheap as fuck..car itself isn't worth much.. hell i've had someone who "wanted" the c/f hood but yeah here it still sits..

That's why modding cars like this is so dangerous. You never get your money back for parts, ESPECIALLY for cars like this that aren't performance based and have died off.

Oh yea. But when the kit, new, is listed for more like 4k, and they wanna offer you 400 for it...... wow.

How much for the motor?

Must people buy performance stuff to use it so when you try to sell it used everyone thinks it's been accused thus the perceived lack of value.... it makes it hard to sell parts but it also depends how you see the value of what you'reseeking.... if you're realistic you'll get a decent return when you sell it....

Car looks amazing btw tanner

It sucks that i left my grand am for a stock 2012 civic. However, driving on 35 to school i got 44 miles to the gallon in econ mode.

I'm gonna call it here...this will probably be the last, nice GAGT-SC/T we see like this on the forums.

:cheers:







On a side note the coupe side panels take over 6 feet of tape for one side.

You, Aaron, Branden and that gold GT are the last nice GAGTs on the site that still frequent decently. Kinda interesting watching a platform die out, with enthusiasts at least.

never really thought of it.
10k 3400 bottom end
ported 3500 top end with either a 3500 or 3400 uim.

what's a motor like this with my parts on it worth to you.
when i got mine it was alright on here but once the OG members started leaving and getting rid of there GA's this site slowly started dying and then had a steady period that wasn't bad but that passed and then all the newbs came in and here we are.

i haven't gone as radical as some with the mods as some of the other guys. i never expected to make every dime back but..

i thought i would get more enjoyment out of it but the whole car became a hassle from keeping it somewhere, inspections(a lot of places won't even touch the car i had one place tell me to put the stock exhaust back on and then come back), and having no time to actually take it out and enjoy it. first year i put it back on the road i went to 5 places and they all told me to hit the road..it's not obnoxious loud like some of these other cars i hear around here.

I'm just glad I have a car that's not constantly throwing codes and having something major fail every few months, and actually be able not worry about fueling up every three days or so.

Going two or more weeks on a tank of fuel is awesome.

Isn't the motor cammed? Depends on all modifications done to it. Let me know and I'll think of a price.

Finally someone see why i hate GAs

Yea, im gonna miss the MPG i was getting out of the GA, even if it wasnt the greatest.newest project car has a 670cfm 4brl on it.........

My car rarely throws codes. Haters.

^This

Since i got to school 4 weeks ago i drove to wisconsin, drove to school and around here(all my roommates have cars) i filled up the day i got here 4 or 5 weeks ago and once since then and i still have half a tank. Lol and this city is ALL hills

in the last 3 years, i prolly put 5k miles on the GA. it went from a "beater" to a redheaded step child real quick

Wow. I know my Honda has only seen 4K this year, I don't drive everywhere like I used to. lol

I need to make some road trips before winter kicks in.

2 of my 3 Aleros have never set codes, and the third has set codes but are caused by me messing with it.

People don't like these cars. Very sad.

At work.

Spent about 4 hours cleaning my truck today. When I was almost finished, my neighbor pulls up in his new 14' cummins. That bastard! At least my white truck will stay clean inside. His black truck will forever remain outside lol. Turns out, he's about to move out and buy a camper. He plans on living out of the camper and pull it with that beast.

Still say you need the OEM projectors on your truck

I agree, but they are 5-700...

No thanks.
