The clever engineers at ShipMyCar have created a Light Control Unit (LCU) which is a universal control box to safely power the lighting modifications needed for IVA / SVA / MOT testing requirements here in the UK

The new control module works in modern canbus powered vehicles and provides safe connection for the additional lights required e.g. Rear Fog Light, Reversing Light, Side Repeater Indicators…

IVA, SVA and MOT requirements in the UK require imported vehicles to have an ‘e’ marked rear fog light, side repeater indicators, and amber indicators which are separate to the brake lights – wiring these incorrectly can damage the cars ECU / Smart Junction Box – a common problem in Camaro’s, Corvettes and Mustangs Shipped to the UK

We strongly advise against carrying out IVA modifications yourself – our engineers are trained in IVA modification requirements on all makes/models of vehicles.

Combining the Z06’s lightweight body and 505 horsepower naturally-aspirated LS7 with the Magnetic Selective Ride Control and braking found on the ZR1, the Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition is being hailed as the best balanced track Corvette yet. Tadge Juechter, Corvette Chief Engineer says “For technical tracks like Laguna Seca, the Z06 Carbon could shave up to three seconds off the Z06 lap time.”

For track events, customer-installed Euro-style numbers come with each car.

Inside the Z06 Carbon, you’ll find ebony leather and suede complemented by matching blue or orange seat stitching. A unique steering wheel and sill plates are in place as well as logoed headrests. Suede is used throughout the interior and can be found on the steering wheel, shifter, seat inserts, armrests and doors.

Although the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition is limited to 500 units, GM has packaged most of these upgrades into two new RPOs that can be ordered together or separately on any regular Z06.
