"I have owned the car for many years and recently upgraded to a new corvette. The car had a brand new GM LS1 motor installed with warranty 30k miles ago. I have all of the paperwork. The car has many modifications including a full clutch and fly wheel that I had changed to a LUK Clutch/aluminum flywheel which is rated up to 500hp. New motor and clutch assembly has not gone through any racing, boost or nitrous, all 30k miles were daily driven on the highway. The car runs perfect, a/c is cold and all accessories work great! Car was daily driven on the highway and meticulously maintained with synthetic oil changes. The car has a beautiful black leather interior, custom high quality MB Quart audio system, Kenwood Excelon MP3/CD/XM head unit, JL Audio Amplifiers,10"JL Audio subwoofer, custom gauges and nitrous controls, Moser 12 bolt rear differential with 3.90 gears, Borla 3" exhaust, SLP Long tube headers with hi flow cats, LS6 intake manifold, Whisper Lid w/K&N filter, 60# fuel injectors, Aeromotive fuel pump booster, Walbro fuel pump, Pro 5.0 short throw shifter, chromoly BMR drag suspension and torque arm, SLP sub frame connectors, driveshaft loop, stainless steel brake lines, Power Stop slotted & dimpled rotors. NOS 5177 Nitrous kit is hooked up but no solenoids. Car is ready for boost or nitrous! Asking $8,500 "
Now this is where I need everyone’s help
Questions...
1) When looking at the said paperwork what do I look for and compare to the engine..part numbers?..if so where do i look..
2) Is there any way I can visually tell the differences between brands SFC's(slp),headers(slp),exhaust(borla) and the suspension(bmr) also the ls6 intake I know they put them on the 02's but did they also put them on the 00+01's?
3) The Moser 12 bolt rear.. how can I tell if it really is one?
4) Is there a way I could find out if he has run nitrous on the said new engine???
Thanks guys I really appreciate it..sorry for the long post I just dont want to get F**ed  |
The best car I've ever owned was a 98 Z28. The seller was selling it because
he was buying a new corvette as well. It was nearly stock though.
As for ID'ing the brand of the modded parts, the borla exhaust should be
the easiest. The have very distinguishable tips. The LS6 intake manifold
came on the 01-02 LS1 f-bodies. The only way to know for sure that it
is a real LS6 is to check the part number.
I didn't know that LUK made a clutch that strong. I thought that they
only made OEM parts. You might check on that.
Your best bet is to take it to a shop that you trust & have them check
it out. That's what I would do if I was buying a car this highly modified.
Good Luck.
