Hi all,

Long story short, I moved to the USA with my wife so she can continue her education and we are finally moving back to the UK.

I bought an '08 Corvette Z06 and spent a pretty penny with 2" Headers, Heads, Clutch and Cam. So far I'm right around the 580-600whp depending on dyno.

Problem is selling the car here isn't feasible as no one will take into account the work I've done on my Z, so I really do want to bring it back to the UK with me. I'm not too sure how this happens, or what I might have to do.

I've been looking for a few sites that I can talk to in regard to this, hoping people here can point me in the right direction.

I really can't wait to let her rip when I'm there!

Thanks for the info guys!

That's good news, my car is an '08 and I think a build date in '07.. So that should be a good saving of around 6000GBP!

I used to live in Kuwait and still partner in a garage over there that does deal with domestic vehicles. I am a professional tuner and deal with over 20 garages internationally with tuning consultation..

On a side note, are there any tuner shops in the UK that deal with domestic vehicles? I would love to open up a dyno shop in the UK and see what kind of market is around.

I tune for several JDM import cars, using Unichip for Toyota and Uprev for all Nissan/Infiniti vehicles.

Take a look at my instagram page for more info:

If you need to store it in the US for a few months to get it truly over the ten year thing then let me know - I have space in a heated NJ garage. I used to have a C6 Z06 and really miss it!
Thanks Spyker! I should be good to send if we finally move in July. Hope it doesn't take too long to get the car shipped over..
