Chevrolet : Nova 400

Originally from Sacramento area. I imported the car to Canada in January 2012. Before I purchased the car it was just painted and had a new interior installed. Once I received the car and took it for a drive I was not happy with how it handled so the intention of purchasing a driver instantly was turned into another build project!

Here is a list of the components used in the construction;

·       Detroit Speed front sub-frame assembly

·       Detroit Speed Quadra-Link system

·       Detroit Speed mini tubs

·       Detroit Speed sub-frame connectors

·       Detroit Speed variable speed wiper motor

·       C6 front disc brakes

·       Wilwood rear disc brakes

·       2006 GTO LS2 (6. 0)engine w/4L65e transmission

·       Auburn Posi unit

·       Motive 3:73 gears

·       Dakota VHX gauge package

·       Vintage Air Gen IV system

·       Ididit tilt steering column

·       Lokar floor mount shifter

·       American Autowire wiring and accessories

·       Procar “Elite” front seats

·       New windshield and seal

·       New rear glass seal

·       Steering fluid cooler

·       Trans fluid cooler

·       Rocket Racing wheels w/ BFG Comp 2 tires

The LS2 installation differs a little from others as I wanted to retain most of the emissions it was designed for so I utilized the GTO harness and computers. The engine has both upstream O2 sensors and all engine sensors. I left the vapor system and the downstream O2 harness in place for future expansion. The computer tuning was performed on a dyno to optimize the performance and drivability. the final HP at the rear wheels is 430!

The exhaust is custom made from Borla SS components. utilizing Magna Flow Catalytic convertors and Mufflers (also SS).

During this time I completely rewired and insulated the car. installed new brake lines. new fuel lines. new ebrake cables and installed a Vintage Air Gen IV system.

The A/C is not completed; it requires the installation of a compressor and hoses installed. The condenser is in place and the system wiring is complete.

The biggest flaw with the car is the condition of the chrome around the side glass. The chrome is pitted and the side gas is de-laminating. I have all new side glass that is included with the sale.

Even though I installed the DSE mini tub package I was not in a position to purchase the appropriate size wheels. The current wheel sizes are 17x7 on the front and 17x8 on the rear. The rear-end has been professionally narrowed and every part inside is new. The chassis is prepped to accept 18x9 with 255/35R18 tires in the front and 18x9. 5 with 265/35R18 tires on the rear.

As the constructor of this car I can answer any question pertaining to the chassis. drive-line. wiring and components installed. so fell free to email or call with questions you may have that are not answered in the above description. 905-533-1937 Thanks.

The car is located in the Toronto area.
