#1390 of 1419 Re: Big Pothole = Big Money [mcp6530] by dblduce May 02, 2007 (5:57 am)
Replying to: mcp6530 (Apr 30, 2007 7:51 pm) Check for wheels on Ebay. I've seen multiple auctions for individual or sets of original wheels for GXP's.   My dealer said that a lot of people go online to tirerack.com, etc, and buy new wheels and tires to have a "second" set to be used for snow, etc. you could buy 4 new wheels for approx. $1200. Definately shop around before buying from the dealer.
#1391 of 1419 Cigarette Lighter Fuse by mcp6530 May 07, 2007 (7:03 am)
Both of my power outlets are not functioning and I can't seem to locate the fuse for them. I have the manual, but it isn't clearly marked anywhere in there. Does anyone know the location of the fuses for these power sources? Thank you.
#1392 of 1419 Considering an '07 GXP by idntnvu Jun 19, 2007 (8:58 am)
My 60 year old father is considering an '07 Silver GXP with 16k miles on it. What kind of problems have been had with this vehicle? He has a '98 GP GT with 190k on it right now, and it seems like it's in the shop at least once a month, and now needs a new transmission, again. Put one in last year at 160k. According to consumer reports, the GXP isn't rated well. He and I both have looked over and driven this car, nothing seems to be wrong with it right now. Also, he's already been quoted a price of $23,900 straight sale. It's loaded with everything but the navigation. What do you guys think?

Replying to: dblduce (Apr 30, 2007 2:45 pm) How is the change in your tire size working out? Has it affected your ABS/Traction Control/Speedometer etc. Goodyear is coming out with FI All Season that are Z rated and match both sizes. Replies to this message: dblduce (Jun 26, 2007 5:03 am)
#1394 of 1419 Finally - all season tires that match both front and back by jehu75 Jun 25, 2007 (6:03 pm)
I am replacing tires, as well. It has been a nightmare, as I want all-season performance tires that match both front and back. I live where it snows.   Just today, I found out on the Goodyear site that they will be rolling out Z rated F1 tires July 1st, that match BOTH front and back.   Since the Z rating is just below the W, and the GXP is limited to 143, that they might work. My only concern, since they have a 420 rating, that I will lose significant handling from the 050's. Any thoughts?

Replying to: splatsterhound (May 17, 2006 7:40 am) I've had my GXP just over 140 a couple of times in rural Utah. It was stable as a rock.

Replying to: jehu75 (Jun 25, 2007 5:57 pm) The tires have been working out great! I notice much better traction when taking off, cornering, driving in rain, etc. Can't wait to try them in the snow!

Replying to: jehu75 (Jun 25, 2007 6:03 pm) Get a price for the Cooper Zeon Sport A/S (all seasons). They have the same W speed rating as the originals. I would tend to think that anything "new" from Goodyear would tend to be overly expensive for the first few months. Oh well, it never hurts to price compare. I would recommend the Coopers any day! Going from 225/50 18 to 225/45 18 makes no noticable difference to me. Replies to this message: hankpsufan (Oct 30, 2007 9:34 am)

Replying to: kirstie_h (Jul 31, 2006 8:56 am) Has anybody come across a modification site for the Grand Prix GXP. I would like to add some more performance parts. I have already added flowmasters & a K&N intake system. I found a ECM unit that adds 20HP which I will be getting.   Anybody else looking to push the HP on your GXP??
