I replaced the MAP sensor this weekend. It had gotten bad enough, there was no question it was underperforming, it even set an SES code. So that is one less problem with the car now.

buy it!

howdy Mike,
I've been away from this board for a while so I don't know TommyB nor if he still has his TGP or not.
Several years ago, I was in Dallas and saw another black TGP with some extra pinstriping on the side. Ever seen that car?
Around here, I've seen 2 reds and 2 black. One was for sale a few years ago and I looked at it for a guy from Washington. I don't think he ever bought the car.

the car is still available. I have some exterior images now I can send if you want to see it.  I'm working on some interior images too.
If you have any questions, ask!

Some of you may remember me from the other bulletin boards. Well, the time has come and I've made my decision to put it up for sale. I've had the car 12 years and want to pass it along to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did. I'm sad to see it just sit in the garage since I've got a new mistress (2 wheeler). Here are the details and I'll try to get some images up soon and will update when they are available.

This car is not perfect but is an exceptional example of a rare 13 year old car. It is mostly original, minimal modifications, no butchering, no engine modifications. The exception list is all you will find wrong with this car.  Everything else works as it should.
This car has never been to the dragstrip. It spends most of its days in the garage and goes out occasionally on weekends. I drove the car less than 2000 miles this past year. I’ve never had food in the car.  
Asking $4500. e-mail me with questions, dkyeung@juno.com
