    Default New to the GTP world

    Well the wife and I are new to owning a GTP. Just picked up a 04 with 92000 on it. Got it Thursday and put intake gaskets on it Saturday. Really looking forward to learning more about the car threw the forums here. This place really is a great vast knowledge of information on these cars.

    Welcome man! Keep reading!
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I'm over by Torzewski park. Pero/Pleasant Lake.

    I've been reading a lot. I'm gonna order some headers as it seems to be the way to go for these cars. I'll make my own air intake and port the throttle body. I'll probably hold off on the smaller pulley till I get the tuning sorted out. I'm hoping to keep the same if not better my daily gas mileage.

    I get better gas mileage now than I did before modding.

    Black is my 2nd favorite color... Tint needed on those windows, lol, otherwise stock is good.

    Nice wheels, good luck with her!

    It's the wife's daily driver so I doubt i'll get to crazy with the mods. Just a little to make it a little more fun to drive and some cosmetic stuff..
