Hello All

Hey Everyone, brand spankin' new to the forum, just thought i'd say hello to you all. Looking foward to having future conversations with you all.

Frank L.

no need for formal greetings, just post what needs said.

What's wrong with intro?
What car do you drive and where are you from?

Hi , im mark welcome to the forum , could i ask why you chose autoforums?

yo man...like allanon said, no need for intro but its a nice gesture...appreciate that, welcome.

please excuse me if i sounded harsh, it was a nice gesture. While we're all into intros, I'm Ben. I drive a 95 4 cyl 2.3 L DOHC 5 speed Grand Am. and u?

It's all good.
:)

the names Frank. I'm living in VA right now, but in a couple weeks i'll be going back to my place of origin, OH.
I'm driving a 2001 Grand Am Se 2.4L, and i gotta tell ya, i love it.
I found automotiveforums by mistake actually. I was looking around google to try and see what Carbon Fiber Hoods were going for. They look pretty damn sweet, so i was searching around, and i think i found a post about it somewhere on this site. I figured, hey, everyone else in heres got a Grand Am, mine as well register and incase i ever need any suggestions, they could help out. Ya know?

I dont have too much done to my car..practically nothing, just a Cold Air Intake on it, but i did just buy an underbody kit from ebay so im looking to spruce up my lil baby. thanks for the warm welcome.

Frank

Rleav , Id like to see the cold air intake for your grand am gt. Most them kits are less efficient than factory ram air for cold air induction or work as well as factory only without the ram air. The factory ram air IS cold Air Induction as well as forced , the air cleaner box is the same as regular v6 3400 so it also has a lower intake that goes through the fender , thats cold intake too. So if you have an open filter in the engine bay thats called Hot air induction , and your car has to work harder to produce hp.
Any ways welcome.

i dont have a GT, i have an SE. Make a difference? :-\

The so called "Ram Air" is fairly useless used as forced induction, as you would need to go about 120 mph to increase hp and force air faster than the engine is sucking it. It does do good as a cold air though. Basicly a CAI is less restrictive, and more straight through air passage, rather than stock which has restrictions made to cut the noise level. I preferably like to mod the stock airbox and maf to gain the better hp and less restrictive flow. Just my :2cents: on air intake.

just won the red underbody kit from Ebay, going to get it in a week or so, im excited :-D 60.00 aint too bad, hopefully they'll last awhile.

thats not too bad of a price man. I think im a llittle late on the intro thing but i never properly introduced myself on this forum...

my name is Derek and i just turned 20 on June 1. Im from a small town about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh, PA. I drive a 95 GA SE 5 spd which i call "Bridget" for undisclosed reasons ; )...heh heh...Just FYI, I just pushed the old gal over 150,000 miles this past weekend and shes still goin strong. Theres no mods on it as of yet..im currently in the process of making my own cold air intake and i have a set of rims on it..nothing too fansy (college kid income)

alright i guess that'll do...later guys

Im with GASE95 in the poor college kid/ 150K (almost) group

nice to meet ya, just turned 19 this past february, and pretty soon i'll be livin in columbus, OH. only sad thing about my car is i paid alot for it, because at the time the car my dad gave me (95 dodge spirit) wasnt in the best condition, and the tranny went out, so i had to find a car pronto, came across this 01 GA, and i loved it: smooth ride, good gas mileage, but it was 10k,used, 36k miles. my parents have bad credit, so my interest rate is 17%, going to eventually pay out around 16k total for it, when new GA's are around 15k, heh. Bummer.

man, that was a ramble,lol

lol ya

Im 26 , 27 next fall. Your never to old to play with cars. I make just enough to live in this expensive town and spend a mere 100 bucks a month on my car may it be repairs or mods. I am gonna make a collection of cars when my buisness gets into swing.

what kinda business ya got?
Also, does anyone know how much HP a stock 01 GA 2.4L has? Ive been looking around, and i think its around 150, but im not quite sure, thanks !
