Bought my old ss back

Hey everybody,
I've been a member for a while now. I don't really post anything but I do read lots of stuff on here. I sold my 08 ss about 2 1/2 years ago and I just recently bought it back from the guy I sold it to
The car had gms1 when I sold it, and the last guy said he had it tuned somewhere in edmonton even tho he never added any parts and I don't feel any difference from when I owned it. Seems like he wasted his money to me.
The car has 125000 km (78000 miles) I was thinking of adding a few things to the car but am concerned about finding a place to have it tuned as I live in northern alberta.
Anyways just thought I'd check in and say hello as I am on the forum every day

That's awesome you could buy it back. As far as tuning goes, if you get hptuners you can remote get remote tuned, or you could also have a dealer reflash GMStage1 to make sure.

Ya I wish I never sold it. I love the car just need to fix it up a bit. It needs a new clutch so I have to get that taken care of before I start buying parts for it.

Ya from what I have read km043 comes highly recommended. Need a clutch installed first and I don't really feel like doing it on my garage floor by myself lol. I won't go to crazy on the parts just the basic bolt ons.
K&n intake and probably just go with zzp for dp,ic,cp

Gave it a decent cleaning today. And before anybody says it is know it sits high and could use some tint and please nobody remind me of the dentist above the gas cap haha. It looks huge in the picture not as bad in person.

At least it's not 4x4 status and the wind deflector makes it look like it has a mustache

Find a paintless dent repair place, they should be able to pull that dent
