    Just bought a 91 GT

    Hey there,

    I am new to this forum.
    I already have a 92 protege SE, and just purchased a Black 91 GT 5 speed. I should be picking it up tonight.

    The car is in pretty decent shape just a little rust on the metal sunroof and hood edge.

    I am thinking of swapping the moon roof from the 92, is that possible?
    Also want to swap the rear tail lights and spoiler as well do they just bolt on too?

    Also, I am wondering if someone has any good articles on the 91 GT or knows of any good websites for the GT.

    Finally what are the general weakness of this car, specifically the 1.8 dohc? My 92 sohc has 386000km's on it and still runs good, what suggestions can people offer to keep this car running well to 386000 and beyond??

    Thanks,

    J

    make sure you do a good tune up, oil change.

    the lights should be a straight swap. spolier, you might have to make some holes.

    as for website, this forum is probably the best place to be. if you are looking for specific info, use the search button first, then ask. lots of knowledgable people on this board.

      Moon roof should fit, may need to change head liner.
      Tails swap.
      You want the 92se spoiler on the GT? It will bolt on. Diff spoilers but use the same mounting points and connector.
      As for how long the engine will last... I have 296k km on mine and I beat the piss out of it.. and have done so for the last 40k+

        I have a 92LX and a 90GT. The Lx will get getting the GT's engine, Brakes, and a few of the body panels. Where in canada are you?
        The GT has the BP-DE engine. 127hp and 114ft-lb. it is a solid engine. Your SE has the BP-ME 103hp and 111ft-lb, also bulletproof.

        Check out this site.

        it should start you on your way. The GT has the "G" series tranny very strong
        When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

          Thanks for your responses guys,

          I picked the car up on friday.


          I think that I decided to keep the gt spoiler but still change the tails and moonroof.

          I live in cambridge ontario.

          Are the GT's rare at all - how many did they make?

                You are looking for an artical that dates to around 1990. have fun tring to find that. well what do you want to know about them? I am sure several people here can answer your question. you are talking about the BP-DE which is more common in the states than up here in Canada.
