Default Finally got an ls1
Just picked it up this morning. Already had headers, lid and borla. Needs some tlc but runs pretty good. Hopefully getting a new ac compressor today so I can have some ac back in it.

I don't think it's a true ceta. It's a 2000 model a4. I think it was an originally a black car that someone cloned. Is there somewhere to run the vin and find out info about it? Thanks for all the compliments

Is it a real WS6? the hood looks "taller" to me for some reason unless its just the pictures.

Congrats on the purchase though.

If it's a 2000 model, then it's not a CETA. CETA's were 2002 models only.

CETA doesn't appear to be a mod to me. its just different emblems and a rear lower painted bumper. Mine is not a CETA either but I had the rear lower section of the bumper painted because I thought it looked better that way. That car you have looks very unique and if I were you I would keep it that way.


What part of Houston do you live in?

It's an aftermarket hood from what he told me. I like the yellow. When I have it redone I'm gonna keep it yellow but maybe go with a millinium yellow

Click on Research. Sixth choice down is Vin Decoder. Put your VIN in and it should bring up lots of information on your car.
