This car is a clean salvage title. And it does have a share of issues (but also very good points), however, let me explain the new pieces and history of it. This car is drive ready (given, it is rough. Please read below for information).

I strongly believe this car is worth fixing and driving. Before this small issue, I loved driving it and getting compliments on it being my car (I'm a student just out of HS).

The car has many brand new parts on it (I never do used performance parts). Most of the new parts of for performance. I never got around to doing body work. Battery and alternators are GOOD (12.4V and 13.9V will running). CCA and CA of both show good during testing.

The check engine light is on. I have an OBDII scanner and will show you what the codes mean.

NEW PARTS
- Power Steering Rack
- Inner Tie Rods
- Rack and Pinion
- EGR valve
- BRAND NEW A/C Control Head (cold A/C and heater work)
- Brand new ignition switch (I never put the ignition cover back on).
- Air filter
- Spark plugs and wires
- Fuel Filter (changed at 174,000 ODO)
- Oil Filter (changed at 174,000 ODO)
- New Oil Dipstick (inaccurate reading. cosmetic)
- New Rear Brake pads (NEVER GOT TO CHANGING FRONT. WILL GIVE FREE FRONT PADS)
- New Passenger side mirror
- Seat covers for cosmetic
- Has an AMP and subs in back. Not hooked up
- NEW Front windshield
- BRAND NEW tires (currently have 400 MILES on them)
- New PCV valves

USED PARTS
- Engine upper intake plenum (installed by professional mechanic)

There are problems with the car, as I said. I'm not sure what is 100% wrong. I no longer want to continue fixing things on this car (I am a student and cannot afford to continue tuning it. I have two little girls [sisters] that need safety to and from school). I will be getting a new car.

KNOWN ISSUES
- Engine code (P0300)
- Rough acceleration
- Exhaust vibrates ONLY AT IDLE
- VERY ROUGH IDLE
- Squeeking when accelerating (only on initial). Car will run fine once it gets above 30 MPH

I suspect a sensor is bad. Changing them out should improve performance. Because of the issues, I suspect the TPS (throttle position sensor) or camshaft sensor. TPS is $30 at O'Reillys. Worth a swap. However, I recommend getting it professionally diagnosed at most repair shops for free. (Free diagnostics at most local shops). Gas treatment is also recommended and might clean up acceleration. I only put 93 OCTANE (premium) fuel in it.

I have a log book of everything that has been done to the car. Will be given if purchased or viewed. Please text me at the contact number for any more details. I know everything about this car and will be happy to inform you of them.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
