Default Project 2005 GP GXP

Over the winter i will post my progress that i make on my car, hope everyone likes what i plan on doing and if you dont, that sucks for you lol

So far i have a Cartuning Turbo kit running 5psi, ported ls4 intake, 3" mandrel exhaust, lowered

Plans are:
Overhaul transmission
42lb injectors
7psi boost(5psi now)
Take apart my entire interior and clean everything, reasemble(Part way there)
New carpet
Any weight reduction i can do(25lbs down so far)
Black grill set - INSTALLED, pg2 for pics
Debadge/blackout/clearcoat all emblems
Re-tint and re-clear tail's and turn signals(in progress)
New wheels and tires(Gunna paint my current wheels all black and get new tires)
PEM's and Wrap mani's and crossover.
Clean and paint brake calipers(red) and brackets/rotors(black)
Clean and shine wheelwells
Straight pipe mufflers w/ new black tips or Magnaflow catback.
New headlights(OEM)
Electric cutout plate
Poly dogbone mounts - Installed.
and last if funds allow, Inferno cf hood.



Thats all i can think of for now, I will update when i think of something else to add

Wow, that car is really nice. I am very envious. Keep up the great work. Very nice 1/4 mile time before the turbo I might add.

P.S. - Throw some rockers on that bad boy!
