My GAGT

[DrFabulous]

How did I not see this earlier?

1- Roger, props on the work you've done. I may not have done everything the same way, but I can't say I "hate" anything. Glad to see you can take a little heat, too... this place isn't known for people holding hands and loving each other. You'll learn to live with it, and figure out who is honest and who is just making noise. Keep up the good work, and keep us updated on anything else you do- this is the type of GA I would LOVE to see in person and take for a spin.

2- For some of you- internet, srs business.

3- Loco.... you come off more desperate and pathetic every single time you post. You're either a complete fool, or someone's AE.... in which case, I'd like to know who.

This guys ga has at least 100x the hours put into and chris has the nerve to say "he doesnt belong in the hobby" Bytch, what is your hobby? Its not working on cars...it is pecking on a keyboard 24/7 criticizing people who have 100x the skill and put there money where their mouth is regurgitating things posted by other people on forums.

The only thing they have is their opinion, so that is why these dyckheads so freely toss it out...

They attack and then bob and weave to deflect criticism, because they are the ones who truly cant handle criticism when it hits home...if you dont believe me..just watch their reaction to my opinion on them.
Props to the op on the hard work!

It's funny, locofag is as predictable as ever. I see you're branching out on who to obsess over. That's just adorable.

You mock myself and Tanner, yet you do the SAME EXACT THING. You want to know what that's called? Say it with me:

Hypocrisy.

But hey, your posts become more and more pathetic everytime you return, loco. For a man into his 40's, you have the demeanor of an eight year old. You're just an embarrassment to people in general, you have no real thoughts of your own, you only want to "make people feel good". Constructive criticism, hell...criticism in general just makes you upset. It's a public forum, not "let's make sure we hurt nobody's feelings" forum.

My car isn't 100% well liked (or what it used to look like) and I never threw temper tantrums or tell people they're arseholes for not being 100% positive.

Once again, you put your foot into your mouth and the only fool is you.

I think its quite funny, that finally we are talking about a car that the forum is based off of, and so many people getting butt hurt. But I'm just glad to see a new car surface, especially to this caliber.

I would like to see the exterior look a little different, but it's not my car. I can honestly say that under hood look perfect to me and we just need to see some full interior shots.

But I have 2 questions still.

1) Are you thinking about getting a rear lip? Look goofy having an sc/t front, what ever body kit sides those are, and no rear lip.

2) Not sure if I missed it, but do you have any future plans still?

[Bryle James]

I wouldn't call locoman a fag.

That's disrespectful to those who are gaining their rights only now in this country. Zing!

Full Interior pics will come in time. Nothing to crazy in the Interior just two racing seats stock rear seat silver interior trim kit A-piller gauges with Volt, Boost and in the vent just below the A-piller I have a Air/Fuel gauge and the gauges are all Auto Meter. For sound I went with a Kenwood Double-Din, Clarion speakers all the way threw and a 12"Clairion sub with Kenwood Amp in the back. But my seats and dash is kinda apart right now so when its all back together I'll take some pics.

For ? 1) I did a custom rear bumper. I shaved all the lines and molded in the bottom lip of a 05 Grand Prix GTP but its still a work in progress. Pics of that up soon too.

For ? 2) Future plans there is always plans. Maybe 3500 top swap with some internal work but not sure if i wanna go that far. New Mufflers for sure most people won't like what I'm going with but whatever and if you heard what my car sounds like you would understand. I half to cut out the spare tire hole and make it flat so that there is enough room to fit my new mufflers.

Side note: I, as well as everyone, would like to see this pictures whenever you can. Sounds like you have done quiet a bit of different mods after these were taken. Interested in the outcome and how the car looks now. Keep up the good work man.

Hahahaha Dude I'm from Canada

Thanks alot man and as soon as i can i will take some pics and maybe some vids too

[AaronGTR]

Well, like I said props on all the work you put into it! I actually kinda like what you did in that pic of the rear, cutting off that extra piece at the bottom of the stock rear fascia. Looks kinda good like that.


I do have to say, you should get some better tires on that thing though. Especially with a turbo and a manual. General's are a sucky cheap brand, and stock width tires with that setup is a recipe for understeer and wheel spin. Plus 225's are too narrow to properly fit an 8.5" wide wheel. You need some 245's or 255's on those.

I have the tires off the rims so thats a good possibility, Any good suggestions for tires???
When I stored my car in Sept I used the G-Max tires on my WRX. My Grand Am is sitting on my old set of 18" 077's with some worn out tires but good enough for winter storage.

[TDavis]

Would of kept the 077's on instead of the ones you have on in the pictures.

077s > ghetto fabulous wheels

No, this is ghetto fabulous.



IMO, 077's are one of the best looking on a GA.

What kind of driving are you going to do with it? Gonna drive it in the cold/winter at all? Or only summer? That's going to determine a lot about the kind of tire you get. A summer only tire is going to give you a lot more grip.

Pick a size you want then go on the tire rack website www.tirerack.comand see what they have. They have lots of good technical info on the tires, and they have their own ratings for some as well as ratings from customers who have bought them. Basically look at the more well known performance tire brands like Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Yokohama, and Kumho etc, then use the ratings from there. Compare cost vs tire wear, traction, etc and pick the best one for your needs. BTW here's a site with a good tool for picking tire and wheel sizes http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp. Comes in very useful.

Well It's never seen winter since new so only summer. I know most of the tire brands out there I was hoping for a specific tire or a couple other ones. I deal with a guy for tires and he can get me whatever I want just gotta tell him. But I will still look at these sites just to no whats out there.

[kzulfic]

Michelin is a top brand. If you got the money for it go for these.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....SSXL&tab=Sizes

Not this exact size, but IMO that's the size you should get. It's wide enough, and not to tall.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Toyo, Vredestien, Yokohama, Dunlop, Nitto, Continental and Cooper are good brands for performance tires.

[bricooper78]

yup, I make a mean tire


I had the Cooper Zeons on the GA when I got it.... it was GLUED down, that was it, the rest was stock, no nothing.. and boy you could warm up the tires Nascar style

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Cooper Zeon ZPTs are pretty nice, as are the Zeon RS3-As.
