Default Yeah im back..

Ok so i didnt get the vette like i said. I have/had a 410rwhp 515rwtq lightning...and i kinda blew up 1 cyl because of a bad tune. Now Im flying up to NJ in about 2 weeks to pick up a 99 vette dark blue..automagic..19k original miles...22,500..not a bad deal for a perfect car. Just saying hello to everyone again, because I will be back...to stay for a while.

Good evening

Josh

Importimageracing.com
(sickest deals on stoptech, and walbro around)

As I mod this car, I'll get accounts with the corvette performance companies and add them to my site. If there is enough interest I'll become a vendor on here...

Im already a vendor on www.nasioc.com
www.Srtforums.com
Evolutionforums.com...so whats another site LOL

I don't know how well you know C5's, but if you're in doubt, please print out a copy of the C5 General Sticky to take with you so you can thoroughly check that car out.

Thanks

Im not in doubt on this one..its why im flying from FL, to NJ/NY to pick it up. Its a 1999 with 19k original miles. Owned by my friends dad. Dark blue, all options. Auto ..? idk about that one...Stock + K&N never been in the snow or rain. Sits in the garage FOREVER...i mean with only 3000 miles a year how bad could it be? And I've known the people for a while. Its not beaten..just cruised in. And for 22,500 why not...
It sure beats my 8.3 at 85 7cyl Lightning LOL...in terms of reliability

Just got some pics of the car..I'll have to add them online..
It has the oldest stock wheels you can get for it. Needs a new set. and has small graphics outlining the sides on it...must come off...aside from that its pretty good!

I didn't see the graphics but you can usually take them off depending on what type of paint was used.

A) Oven easy off takes off many airbrushed graphics if they are petroleum/latex based

B) If they are done in basecoat (not likely) you can wetsand and buff them off.

BTW, very nice looking vette... looks like you've had a wide range of cool cars. Saved the best for last.

Thanks mark!

Its not the last car im getting...i have Car A.D.D. But I will do all the bolt ons on this one..Getting my accounts etc for a sick hookup on vette parts...as i mostly sell import and euro parts at the moment. Im happy to get into a vette. if you look along the doors you can see it outlines the air vents...look close...its nassau blue...wtf? i dont like it at all...and i'll get the c5 z06 black bolted wheels to compliment the car...those wheels are hideous that are on it.
