new guy 2012 9C1

Post by orgdnr »

Found it online and had it inspected by a shop close to the selling dealer. Clean bill of health aside from rear pads worn. It has 57K on the odometer. Now its time to impatiently wait for it to be shipped! I have access to a Dynojet and have programmed FAST and gen 7 DFI's so I guess it's time to learn hp tuners.

Cheers Dave in Chatsworth Ca.

I purchased it from Asia Motors in stone park Il. Having it shipped to my son in Tx, he wants my 06 SI and I'll drive the caprice home. 1600 mile maiden voyage to blow the dust off it!

Nice. That's what our '12 9C1 looks like. It has a few more miles on it though. Just waiting for the shipper to pick it up and head it our way.

Also looks a lot like mine from Chicago Motors...except I have even more miles. I'm almost to 104k. I didn't want to spring for a new bumper cover and couldn't stand the jagged holes from the pushbar, so I put in some flush LEDs from Amazon. Wired them to the high beams (also on the flasher circuit).

Is it OK in TX to have the spot light on it? I need to find out about NM and AZ.

Yeah, we have people running spotlights in their trucks, so yeah, perfectly legal.

Spotlights are legal equipment in Texas, its how you use it that determines if its illegal.
