2000 gt
4 Attachment(s)
Picked up a 2000gt a month or so ago. It has 79k miles now. The only mods so far are a BBK cold air intake and 75mm throttle body that the guy included with the car.

The car is parked for the time being due to crazy noises coming from the a/c clutch. It still drives fine, but I don't want to be out somewhere and have the pulley lock up resulting in a tow bill.
However, I now also have a Pypes offroad x-pipe and a Mac cat-back on the way from LMR. Hopefully I can get the a/c done Sunday and install the exhaust next Monday. Other than possibly changing the gears to 3.55's and adding a set of sfc's I think I will be done with mechanical mods for the time being. I hope to do a few appearance mods and add a Kenne Bell this winter or next spring. My goal is to put down around 400 rwhp, as that is all the stock block will take from my understanding. If and when it goes, I can just replace with a forged assembly, do a few fuel upgrades, and pulley up the s/c for a good bit more hp if desired. |
Sounds like a good plan. Do some small stuff for now and enjoy the car.
Helps make sure no other gremlins comes up |

If I was going to spend the $$ on a early coyote, I would buy a Boss and call it a day. Extremely fun and capable car in stock form. Don't know the prices in your region but I glanced at several here in the mid 20's
I considered one before buying my 911 last year |
A good tune I would skip the 3.55 and go 3.73 or even 4.10s. Cai and good exhaust. Car can run some 8.20s and drive it any where you want. Oh and go ahead and get moser axles.

Got all the parts in for the a/c fix as well as my mid pipe and cat back. I started removal of the factory exhaust pieces yesterday afternoon. Got most of the bolts broken loose or removed except for the inside bolt that goes to the passenger header. My 1/2" deep well impact socket just will not seat correctly on the bolt, even with nothing else connected to it. I think I am either going to try a 3/8" deep well socket, hoping the slightly more narrow socket will seat or try and find some medium depth sockets. As soon as I can get that bolt broken everything else should come off relatively easy.

Hated fooling with that side!
