So, it sat for about 1 year with me tinkering around with it. I was forced to sell my very expensive car, a 89 Cadillac Allante'.
MAN I MISS THAT CAR!!!
This forced my hand to get the 90 TGP fixed and on the road. So I finished putting on all the body parts on, cleaned it up, put some fresh premium gas in it, changed the plugs/wires. And the amazing part is, after not having run for aproximately 6 years, she started on the first try!
So without further wait, here is the finished, driving product.. First the money shot..
I have upgraded the audio system. Pioneers all the way around. Some people why I love Pioneer so much. Well, I will be honest. They sponsored me with free equipment once upon a time. I didnt pay for anything. All I had to do was install it. I love my Pioneer Premier Headunit, its a damn good headunit..
I have done some mods to the engine bay. First I replaced the air intake system with a K&N cone filter with a directed air intake. The directed air intake system was done by relocating the coolant overflow bottle to the other side of the engine bay. I also upgraded the fuel injectors from the poorly designed original equipment to L36 injectors. I am currently replacing the stock radiator to a aluminum racing radiator (since its cheaper than buying a new one, or getting my original rebuilt). I have also ordered a Top Gun 160 from Jeff M studios, as well as a crossover from him. Once thats done, I am going to upgrade the brakes to 94+ brake system. A much better design, in both stopping power, and reliability. I also plan on chroming alot of the visable engine peices, and painting the air to air charge system. Once thats done, its off to the paint booth to get some paint. The only thing I have to think about is what color to paint it? Do I keep it the factory red, and just put some gold flake in it, or do I go black with gold flake? I was also thinking velvet purple, but I have seen purple on a Grand Prix, and it aint a purty site LOL.. So thanks for reading my story and check back soon, their may be more updates..
