Hi! Im New

Hey guys! well i just bought a 2007 ss/sc with 15k miles about two weeks ago.. i joined the forum but it took two weeks to get activated haha. its yellow with the two tone leather seats and a low rise spoiler.

As for my mods already:

1- i tinted the windows because my birthday was the weekend after i bought it.
2- this mod is the greatest!!! I have the wonderful dipstick popping out mod with the lean cel code... so its at the dealership as i write this waiting on a new intake gasket! ISNT THAT A GREAT MOD FOR A TWO WEEK OLD BUY!?!? haha seriously though im pretty upset about it but atleast its under warranty!
3- i just got in the mail my 8000k hid kit from vvme.
4- my injen intake should be here in a day or two..

After these couple mods im saving my money over winter and then starting up again when it gets a little warmer..

yea the dipstick thing is actually common with newly installed stage 2 cars, thought they fixed the gasket issue though.

Could possibly have been abuse by the previous owner. A lot of people on here have had clutch issues.

Mine has lasted me 68K miles. But I rarely drive my car hard. That I'm sure has something to do with it.

which is in part with efficiency heat soak causes a loss in power..... tvs does not create as much heat, therefore, more power, longer = efficiency
