Who owned my car before me? (05 Red Fire GT with a ton of mods)
Trying to find the previous owner of a 05 GT I just bought. Dealership didn't know anything about it, so I only know what I can see with my eyes.
Really curious about the previous work on it, especially with the engine as I want to have the info for a custom tune. Car is extremely fun, and was built right. 1st owner was from Washington, 2nd from Oregon (for about 2 years). Since we're such a small community I'm looking her to get in touch.

You'll almost never find out, by name, the previous owners. The dealer knows WHO it was who
traded it in. You can ask the dealer to contact them, ask to provide them with the information,
so they can relay it to you.
In the mean time, go to www.mycarfax.com, create an account, and put the VIN in. It will give you
some information and service records. Also, go here: https://www.vehiclehistory.com/ That is the
best free VIN check around... IT will provide you with a lot more information than any other free VIN
check site that I have seen.
It's got some mods, that's for sure... Rear LCA relocation brackets, BMR LCAs or similar.
Panhard rod looks OEM by that view, panhard brace is OEM.
Engine wise, if the BBK intake requires a tune, then it's tuned. People almost never leave
the tuners in the vehicle. It also has the performance upper intake manifold. If I saw
those two on a car I bought, I would assume it was tuned for those items. BBK will
specify if it needs tuned or not, for that intake.
Yay, another breather that spews crank case vapors into the air...
