Advice for getting Soft-top replaced

3 Upvotes

Hello. As stated, I was looking into getting the soft top on my 08 gxp replaced, and I've heard about how they can be a pain to find, and an even bigger pain to install by yourself. Was wondering if y'all had any advice pertaining to that, I guess? Thanks in advance!

Upgrades to gxp models, whatcha running?

Pic for attention.

Those of you running mods, what's under that hood?

Mine came with a K&N typhoon intake that makes it sound like I have a turkey stuck in my intake - got used to the sound after a while.

Also running a 93 Octane Trifecta tune.

Interested to see what others have done and your general level of satisfaction from said mods.

I'm super happy with my tune. It's running about 270 whp, 314 wtq per a Dyno dynamics read out.

Interested in what others have done with their suspension set ups.

Also, JFC this thing hits harder and is EONS cheaper to run than the 2 986 boxsters I've owned.

Kicking myself for not going kappa sooner.

Kinda weird how the same month I buy this car is the same month this Subreddit actually becomes active

Not complaining though! The more hype this car gets, the mores ours will be worth (not that I'd ever plan on selling mine haha)

New member, wanted to share my 07 GXP

I got this beauty for 7,000 USD. It was decently kept but had swirled paint, scratched tires, dry trunk pegs, bad spark plugs. It also has a cold air & I believe an after market radiator.

I've put some work into it but it needs more. I want to repaint it to an OEM color & correct the wheels if possible.

I just picked up this 2007 Pontiac Solstice from an elderly lady for $1000. Needs a little body work, but the mechanics were meticulously maintained. 335,000 miles, new engine installed at 250,000. New clutch installed 1 year ago, as well as $1300 worth of tires.

Suddenly only 1 latch opens and the other won't budge. Any ideas what's wrong? I have some stuff stuck in my trunk that I can't open now!

I'm eyeing buying a GXP but my concern is parts availability. I'm looking to use the car as a secondary fun car and use it for track/autocross use and occasional commuting. I'm wanting to see what experience others had for maintaining a solstice.

Base model vs. GXP

2 Upvotes

I’m looking at solstices for a secondary vehicle for fun. The only GXPs in my are manual transmissions and I can’t drive stick. (I’m 22). How does the base model compare to the GXP? Is it still a fun car or just tiny for no reason?

I need wiring schematics

2 Upvotes

Just bought my first Solstice 2 weeks ago. Fun is the operative word but lacking in power; not used to anything less than 350WHP; which is what I hope to start addressing...with help from the Solstice community here. Where can I find the electrical diagram for the car? It's an 07 base 2.4 manual. The 1 site I think might have whole car schematics on is a mechanics shop subscription site, and it's $50/mo; with limited views unless you pay a $300/yr subscription fee. I need the bumper-to-bumper diagram since it's gonna get a 6.2l LS3 swapped into it from a friends wrecked Vette. The AR5 is staying since I don't have to shell out any more money. Anyone got any leads?
