I just bought a used 2007 Ion Redline. It has some aftermarket stuff on it, and I'm hoping you guys can help me out identifying what's been done to it so far. I am, by no means, a car expert. Any more pictures needed to identify things can be added. Also, I don't know if it's safe to stick my vin on the forum, so I left out the picture of the parts numbers under the carpet in the trunk.
I'll take some pics when it's light out.
I took it to a guy, and he put it on a lift and said it has 2 aftermarket mufflers on it(wtf?)
The tip in the back beats against the bumper and bugs the hell out of me. It's a magnaflow tip.
Is it me or is that a stock pulley? As it looks like the nut is in the center. If it was stage 2 or smaller aftermarket pulley it would have 4 bolts instead of a center nut right? From what i can see Lowered, Opt b, Short throw and an intake! If the exhaust bug's you change it out but check to see if it has a header/Dp too! Very nice color as if i did not get silver that blue was my second choice! And def more pics! One of the pulley/engine bay looking at the S/C and pulley from the passenger side just to make sure what pulley it has!
My internet went down last night due to a sand storm. The pulley does say 77.9 MM on it. I had a guy look at the headers, and he says they are aftermarket oem style. Ill try and get the pics up tomorrow.
He also said something about a CAI with an air to liquid cooling setup. I have no idea what that means.
It was my old car, get the muffler replaced with what you want, its catless and you need to replace the driver's side control arm with another FE5 setup. The pulley is the stock SGTII pulley and 60lb injectors. The car is already tuned you can run down to a 2.8 with no issues, you have the griffin aftercooler and dual pass Opt. You also have the sub frame connectors and the coppertop subframe bracing. That car is SCCA SOLO Prepped.
You have about $1500 worth of repairs even if you paid someone to do them and it will be tip top. New tires are on the back, get fronts. LCA $150, you can buy pretty much every pulley from me if youre interested.
Right, it's got a belt for the stage II kit, but I thought stage II came with a 3.065" pulley. There's a slight difference in the length the belt would need to travel if I put a 2.8" pulley on it. I was asking if the difference is negligible, or would I need the slightly smaller belt.
