My GTX: Boost Guage and Tranny Cooler

Irate · 12-16-2002, 06:25 PM

I've done some work recently on my car and just this past weekend got a chance to take some pictures with '01GTGirl's camera (she's so nice), so here are black reflective badges w/ chrome outline (GrafxWerks)

Irate · 12-16-2002, 06:30 PM

And here is my new boost guage (yay)

Irate · 12-16-2002, 06:31 PM

and lastly the transmission cooler... I'll get pictures of the exhaust cutout w/ qtec up in the "How To" section in a couple weeks...

Well, it was more of an act of extreme-saving up for a good year, lots of graduation $$$, and a slight mis-appropriation of some un-needed college loans... but not much

Boost guage: $50
Tranny cooler: $30
GTX badging: $20
Having free access to your friend's sawzall: priceless

[edit] Forgot to add the fact that I don't go out anymore... except like once every two weeks... so that's helped a lot

Looks great Rob, I can't wait to see more. Your #1 fan (Seth) has been updating me all the way, he's pretty excitied about the boost-factor!

Yeah, Ryan the black reflective GTX totally surprised me... I was worried that it'd get lost against a black car, but man, when it reflects, there is NO mistaking it. When I get my hands on my dad's digicam this weeks, I'll take some time, clean the car, and put together a nice black/reflecting collage.

yay!
pretty soon you might as well remove your A/C

mfuller · 12-17-2002, 02:09 PM

Nice, Rob....can't wait to see it in person someday. Incidentally, if you aren't running synthetic oil yet I'd seriously consider switching soon....an oil cooler wouldn't be a bad idea either.....

Dalesa7xchamp · 12-17-2002, 03:02 PM

a bit off topic.... but what style gauges are those.... i redoing all the gauges in my 78 firebird... and i have been looking for something exactly like them

Irate · 12-17-2002, 04:51 PM

What the hell did you have to saw zall?

Next time I go to Seth's place all the tress and bushes will be just laying there in piles...he's a little trigger happy with that thing

MattsGTP · 12-18-2002, 07:42 AM

Irate,

I was actually just looking at pics of your car the other night. It looks VERY nice!!! I love what you've done to it!

I was always curious though... what is a Grand Am GTX?? I've heard of the GXP show car, the SC/T, GT1, GT, SE, STX (wasn't that an older production model?), etc... but never saw a GA GTX.

Again, props to you and your ride!!!

They're 2-5/8 inches. The boost is mechanical, all of my other guages are electrical. As for the install, its pretty straight-forward... I used silicone sealant to secure the guage to the vent bezzel from the back of the guage.
