Anyone hear of Luisao Motorcars in AZ?
From my understanding the Badge Delete option was a Factory Authorized Dealer option not a Factory option and thus would not show up on the VIN. Mine was performed at Fitzgerald Motorsports in NH. And yes, you should contact Eddie Martin if you're considering purchasing this car. Arizona Viper...- mitchdob

Power steering pump pulley failure...
No, didn't do the install. It was installed by Eddie Martin (Phoenix Viper tech) while he was doing the engine build/mods. Didn't wait for the factory pulley/bracket to fail. It was upgraded as "preventative maintenance".- mitchdob
