Totaled my ZX3 today. Am looking for a SVTF! Most in my price range seem to be between 65-100k miles. Any significant problems at that range? I DIY fix most things so smaller stuff ain't a big deal.
yea timing belt at 100k should be considered, some do it before considering being an interferance engine will screw your head if your timing belt breaks
Thanks man! I will be searching around for more items. I'm so excited to have this. I was actually in the process of converting my ZX3 to SVT aesthetics-wise.
if you get a SVTF, the first thing i would do is get rid of the transmission linkage counterweight. there is a how to somewhere on here, makes the car shift alot easier. and its a free mod. which is awsome.
04 sonic blue 3dr 107k has lots of rattles and squeaks. DD status. Hoping to change that soon so i can rip the car completely apart and get it were i want it.
I'm just coming past 100K mark I'm the sole owner and being in So Cal little to no rust [hihi]
svtf4243.com has a list of repairs (no details yet) and list of plannned mods.
I'm buying the ST Q1 2013 as a daily driver and then I'll start (slowly at first) on repair/ mod the SVT
It will be a few years (read once i've paid offf the ST) before I start to turbo the SVT.
But in the mean time I've got a long list of fixes and tweaks that need more time than money.
my 03 SVT is 62K, but when I was looking around, I saw one a yellow one in vegas with 150K on. Guy wanted $6000 for it
