Unverified Ownership Pontiac Solstice GXP

[argatoga]

Apparently, I never made a thread for my Pontiac. So here it is!

I figure I'll start out with a glory shot.

My car, until last month, was stanced curtesy of the last owner. After I curbed the car I had a suspension shop adjust the coil-overs to something closer to sanity. Unfortunately, I had already banged the intercooler. Thankfully the intake piping man'ed up to the task of keeping the intercooler attached to the car. Unlike the zip ties the previous owner had used to mount it (fun discovery!). Why they would use zip ties for an aftermarket bolt on is beyond me.

So far it seems the intercooler just needs a replacement bracket and some unbending of one of its mounting plates.

This is going to be a fun car.

Weird Miata but OK.

That looks fun. Coupe or convertible? And how much power?

No idea on the power, considering the state of installation of some of the aftermarket parts I'm afraid to push it now. The Lotus strategy of replacing the heavy bolts with zip ties probably cut a second or two off the quarter mile though.

Here are some shots from a happier time.

I always thought it looked like an AC Cobra fucked a Miata, but I like the proportions.

Very nice! Should be a fun little drive!
