First off, the beer is to your left. Grab a bottle and enjoy!

Anyways, LONG time lurker, finally decided to join.

Some members might recognize me from another group I belong to...

I currently drive a Rally Yellow 2007 Pontiac G5 GT - bone stock. I've had an '05 Cobalt base model sedan as my first car 8 years ago, and thought it was a great drive.

Few years later, I got a 2008 Pontiac G5 coupe for something sportier (and still affordable on my insurance). Finally got my current car last year and been very happy with it.

During my test drives, I drove Hondas, Toyotas and even the newer Dodge cars and they just weren't the same. Despite the cheap interior, the car itself has always been reliable.

So greetings to the forum!

 

Welcome. Post up some pics. Manual or auto?

 

It is a manual. Automatic is just too boring.

I thought I did have some pics on my phone/laptop, but it's clear I have them on one of my many external storage devices.

I'll get new pics tomorrow. Currently she's a dirty girl

 

Sounds good! These cars are really fun with a 2.4 and a turbo

 

Welcome to the forum, A lot of good people and a lot off good info on here.

 

or a tvs!

Also welcome!

 

Funny enough, that's my end goal, is the TVS.

 

Good choice! Tvs is insanely fun

 

So I hear. I don't want ***** to the wall power, but something quick and fun. Looking to probably max out at around 300HP.

 

Start off by buying my m62 supercharger setup lol

 

Well, I already promised somebody else I would buy theirs... although I'm just getting the main components. I'll still need most of the kit, however; I'll have to reconfirm what I'm going to need for the Spring.

I'm also looking for a HP Tuner, which I believe Champion Motors does (closest).

Debating whether to do the engine stuff first or suspension. I'm getting tired of the clunks from my struts. Wheel bearings and CA/Bs were replaced when a pothole nearly bottomed out the car last summer.

 

From personal experience, suspension mods really woke my car up. When I first went tvs I felt my car was a tad underpowered... Until I installed my rotated mounts! Completely changes how the car felt, now I'm patiently waiting on my Ottp control arms and some other goodies lol

 

I may end up doing my suspension first then, which I've already decided on the Powell combo... Just need to fire him an email once I'm ready to pull the trigger.

Also as promised: Pics! (They suck)

 

Looks good man. And yeah i did my suspension before anything.

 

I really like how the Ss body kit looks on the G5's

 

I see you're from Ontario? therefore you should know that beer is a fortune :P

car looks good, can't say I recog ya from elsewhere, you on the facebook group?

 

@Slowbalt: Thanks! I figure the last "cosmetic" I do afterwards are a set of retros. I fell in love with that look from day 1.

@Haven: I think the front lip might be from an SS, it's different from others I've seen. Or maybe they just removed the bottom grille.

@Stevo: Yeah, but sharing is caring, right? Besides, it's typical Canadian hospitality

I'm not on Facebook, or any social media. Don't like any of that crap.

 

You dont have a lip, but you should get one. Stock ss lip looke sooooo good.

 

Considering that front bumper needs to be replaced, I could look into it.
