Hey guys I've been browsing this website for a while now, and finally went ahead and joined. I am in the process of demodding my 2001 GTP, and I have actually already sold every part and made a nice chunk of change doing so. I had it decked out pretty well, with a 61mm turbo, intercooler, cam, built trans, heads, full exhaust, cutout, and methanol injection. I ran a best of 11.90 and that was before the methanol. Never got it to the track or dyno after installing the meth injection, because I blew a channel plate gasket in the trans when out testing and tuning with the meth injection. I was going WOT at 75 mph, STILL SPINNING THE TIRES on 18 psi, and at the 2-3 shift the trans gave up the ghost.

I then decided to finally pull the trigger (after 6 years of spending countless hours and dollars under the hood of the GTP) and demod. I'm ready for something new, something RWD with a manual tranny, and a V8. The G8 GT will fit the billl perfectly. I'll be selling the GTP bone stock, banking the $, and getting an '09 G8 GT 6M at the end of this year. I'll immediately put a few mods on it like headers, full exhaust, intake, a tune, some tinted windows, and slight drop (1" or 2"). Then maybe later on down the road some forced induction or at least a nice streetable cam.

So anyway, hi! I'm dmoore on clubgp for anyone who knows clubgp. :biggrin2:

Dang, 2 days, 48 views, and no comments or welcomes. Did I say anything wrong? Just a tough crowd?

Ah hah!! That explains it!! :p

And I agree, it's gonna suck me having to wait almost a year for my 6MT.

Thanks for the welcomes. :burnout:

Welcome aboard. Nice ride you are demoding. I'll be happy to get my 02 GP SE (3100) back on the road. Darn lower intake manifold gasket.

Anyways. Good luck with selling and getting your hands on a G8.

Welcome! I'm right there with you on the wait. I'm going to try to hold out for the MN6 also, but it'll be hard. I know once i start seeing G8's around here that I'll be tempted to go test drive an auto and who knows???
