OK Riverflyer, I'm not busting on you - I see Jay and Adam already took care of that!! I can see where you might have missed it in that long-winded email on post 1. I can assure you - right now NO ONE is cruising the streets of Baghdad in any exotics or nice sports cars. I don't know what they are giving you on the news - and I cannot tell you any details - but suffice it to say - this is the most deadly city on the planet - bar none!!!

PS. Robert - I wish that were my garage. It is the main floor area at Chicago Motorcars.

Thank you all again.

We will give it the once-over and stretch her legs.


You want me to just box it up and send it UPS when we finish up?

Congrats! Great looking car...



And for what it's worth, I've dealt with Parin at Chicago Motor Cars and he's about as reputable as it gets. I wouldn't hesitate buying a car from them...

Thanks man. I want to know everything about her - good and bad. I want to make sure she is getting the best care and performing the way she was meant to be. If you have any questions or concerns, the best way to get me is by email. fsc1sg@yahoo.com

I also just sent you a PM with a few specifics. Thanks again.

Thanks for the input. Parin has taken care of just about everything that has come up. My only issues with Chicago were the little things (salesman told me a few things about the car that were incorrect, car was delivered without the remote for the head unit, car was delivered 3 days after the delivery date). All of it stuff that he did not know about until after the fact.

Other than that - the transaction was perfect!! However, it has left me wondering about how thorough the PPI was. But were getting that checked soon.

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE FOR THE WARM WELCOME TO 6SPEED!!!!!

Welcome to 6 speed. I know you will LOVE her. I personally drove the car it is a great looking, sounding, driving machine. It has a lot of upgrades and $$$ in it. The wheels are definitely champions (I could have told you that.) I apoligize if JOE the sales person led you to believe that they are RUF wheels. The exhaust on the car is a TUBI. (sounds great). Your family in kansas were great and helpful. Unfortunately I can not control the retard Transporters(They are the worst). If you have any questions or concerns please call me directly at 630-333-6266 cell.

Thanks

I've waited my whole life for this car - and now that I have it - I can't even touch it. In fact, I won't even see it for the first time until May - when I get home on leave. Until then, I'm going to hang out here with you guys during my down time from guarding the frontiers of freedom. Thanks in advance for the company.

Hey - If anyone recognizes this car, or knows anything about it let me know. And if you work for IMAGINE AUTO, heads-up, it's coming in for a check-up and dyno next week. I'm going to expect a full report!!!!

Enjoy the pics!!!

David
Welcome to six speed! Beautiful car....congratulations! Do enjoy her and be safe.

Parin - Thank you for checking in. Thank you very much for your help. My family informed me that you have provided a great deal of assistance on this transaction, getting the remote and delivery drivers lined-out. No harm done. All-in-all, purchasing the car from you was a very streamlined and easy process. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

David

MARKSKI - Thanks for the offer - all is good. The car is with Stephen and Doc at Imagine Auto in Kansas. They are doing a thorough inspection and taking care of a few minor things.

As for the mods - all minor stuff to improve the overall performance. I purchased the car with these things already installed. I'm fairly certain Champion did the work. It has an upgraged GIAC ECU, Forge Diverter Valves, stock airbox with a BMC highflow air filter, Tubi exhaust, and H&R coilovers. The guys at iA are doing a little work then will put it on the Dyno when complete. I'm expecting to see about 490-500bhp and 500-510tq. We'll see. I absolutely cannot wait to get back their for a couple days in May so I can take it out for a spin.

490 bhp is a lot for a kit car with a fiero motor. We will see what it puts down though.

OH!!!.....SOMEONE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR TODAY!!!!!!

Dude - When are you taking her out?? Also, I emailed Doc - what do you think about the ride height? I need a professional opinion - Should I raise it .5-.75 inch, or leave it where it's at???
