dale32 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 i was thinking about buying that car... i called that guy about 4 months ago about it. hmm kinda sucks to hear its a lemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiac6ksteawd Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Tough? The 3.1 is a breeze compared to other motors I've seen. ditto! althought TGP and 'daily driver' don't really mix in my mind... neither does a 3.4 DOHC being reliable... But I guess thats just me..

Prospeeder Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 i dont see why a TGP can be a daily driver, all thats different is the turbo, intercooler, and xover, wich any of those fixed, (if even broken) and all forged, its probably as reliable if not more than a regular 3.1, and any regular pre 91 ABS system cars gonna have problems too, so i dont see why they cant be daily drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam S. Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Jeff M. My tranny failed when the car had 80,000 km in 1996, fixed under warranty from GM. Anyways I look at this as a sports car, and somehow not shifting is a missing task for me. Davis My tanny brand new rebuilt , clutch and everyting I need is in the back of the shop. I just need time and space to put it in. Plus I'm also waiting for my RAM Air hood same style as the Grand Am if you saw it at the shop. Carbon fiber with an openining directly into the Turbo.

Prospeeder Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 ohh thats sounds cool, a ram air hood directly to the turbo, sweet, u better post pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Keep looking, you'll find one that's both cheaper and in better shape. My TSTE has been my daily driver for the last 1 1/2 years (before that it was the daily driver from nov-may of the previous 2 years.) The cars are reliable as long as you take care of it.

john99gtp Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 ya, keep looking is right its tough to find a decnet TGP sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 ohh thats sounds cool, a ram air hood directly to the turbo, sweet, u better post pics I had one planned, but I *think* the cars actually have to move for the ram air to work. So, mine will be non functional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Get rid of the condensor and IC, get a front mount IC, and it should be easy to have ram air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
