Re: Just bought a Callaway!
Very nice Lee. If this one is the same money you were going to pay for the first one you made an offer on I'd say you made out like a bandit.
Enjoy! |

Re: Just bought a Callaway!
Plugs on all L98s are a PITA.....ended up getting it for $11500....
the other one had 10K more miles, needed a full paint job, interior, and new OD unit This one only needs tires and a new NACA duct..some rear capret Will pick it up this coming Thursday

Re: Just bought a Callaway!
i had an l98 before my zr-1 and i only had to do plugs once...i wonder if coming up from the bottom would be better then coming from the top

Re: Just bought a Callaway!
no, I don't think from the bottom would be easier.. you think the L98 was bad try a LT1 or LT4.. #8 on those is worse then a L98..

Re: Just bought a Callaway!
solution is to sit backwards in the tire; facing away from the car....postions you hand in the right orientation to thread it...
I think it took me three hours the first time to change L98 plugs

Re: Just bought a Callaway!
The trick is to know the market, know how long the car has been for sale, and to let them know you can afford it, but don't need it.......not many people can afford these right now, or more importantly qualify to fianance them....lots of bargins

Re: Just bought a Callaway!
Staying in STL tonight, car seems good, apparently new turbos on the car, interior is not in bad shape....just needs carpet. Paint is alittle rough, but steering is tight, ran at 185 degrees in traffic.
Seems to be a good deal. clutch seems new also 6 hours to get to know the car tomorrow
