This is my page for my GTS. It contains pics and a lil info for just about everything I've done to this car. If you have ?'s on how I did something I'm more than willing to help out. The page is set-up like a time line, so it goes from oldest to most current. Please don't forget to rate me and drop a line in my guestbook.

My $700 1997 Probe GTS. I purchased it on 8-5-08 from a guy in Auburn, NE. I wasn't really looking for another car especially a red one w an automatic but it was a gts and it would make one fun project.

The Bad: It had an automatic transmission that was starting to go out. It only had 1st and 2nd gear. It also had a pretty bad scratch on the pss side fender from him parking a trailor next to it and somthing hanging off the trailor scratched it. It also has a pretty badly rusted sunroof cover as well as some scratches on the rear bumper. The interior was one of the dirtiest I've ever seen. I don't think my 93 probe would've been that nasty if I hadn't cleaned it in the 4 years I've had it.Seriously it was that bad.:(

The Good: Only $700 bucks and it has mint condition chrome swirlies minus one center cap, a strong running engine w only 115k miles, and it was an auto so it hasn't bn beat to shizzle, a GTS w power everything and works, a really straight body w just a couple door dings and scratches but it is 11yrs old, nice black interior w all the clips.

So first thing one the cars list is to swap out the atx for a mtx out of a black 93GT .It'll get a new CM Stage lll clutch with a fidanza flywheel and rr-racing motor mount inserts. Then it'll get klze heads,cams,and a ze intake manifold. Of coarse headers and 2.5' back to a greddy muffler. Not sure which muffler I'm using yet. Weight reduction is next starting with the back seats,spare tire,cruise control, and a/c. Then the front seats and airbags. That'll do for awhile until I spray it or just skip the spray to build my extra engine for BOOST!!!

Anyways please dont forget to rate my rides. If you have any ?'s about the swap or need any parts dont be afraid to ask.If anyone is wondering im 93P-GT on Probetalk and soon2bBoosted on mx6.com. Hope you enjoy my page.
