So, today I purchased a fully loaded 2006, Yellow, SS/SC to replace my 2008 LS that got totaled a few months back, insurance gave me $11,303 for it. Anyway, the SS I picked up has the G85 package, with the Recaro's. It is bone stock, and had 58,400 miles when I drove it off of the lot today. I love it, it is a completely different animal. The car was $8,995, and I paid $10,300 out the door.

My question, what should I look for, as in common problems with these things. I already notice the sunroof switch works for dick, as 99.9% of the SS/SC's I've seen.

But what else should I be looking for? At 58,000 miles, I'm sure there must be some big things. Thanks!

 

i bought my ss/sc when it had 35k on it and modded it heavily and got it up to 80k with no major issues...there good cars bro...i now have an 09 SS/TC Sedan i bought brand new a few months ago

 

chain tensioner. supercharger coupler. couple of smaller things

 

wheel hub assembly. at least on my car.

 

TVS for sure

 

you have a grand leave over nice. and just check everything is tight and you should be fine

 

timing chain cost me a TVS blower and a cylinder head at 80k!

 

The engine is definitely louder than my L61.. Haha

Right before the clutch is all the way to the floor, it clicks, it's weird. Not bad, but only noticeable when it's quiet.

Also, is I was boosting roughly 14psi in 2nd and 3rd gear.. Is this normal for being stock?

 

Power streering.

There was a recall for that.

Went out when I was driving.

 

12 is stock

 

Yeah, the previous owner did the recall for that steering **** right before he traded it in!

Well, it looks 100% stock, but it is definitely boosting over 12psi.

 

The high boost could be due to a clogged cat. There was a recall for it.

Does the supercharger pulley have 4 bolts holding it on, or does it appear to be pressed on?

 

was that recall just on 07's? or is it something i should look into for my 06 SS/SC? i still need to look into the steering recall too.

 

my sunroof frame juss broke today it doesnt close no more :x now i needa a new frame jeeeeez...

 

How would I go about fixing that sunroof switch? It sucks ass, like it sticks and ****.

The roof itself is good though, no leaks, wind noises, etc. Just the damn button.

 

mine broke a few years ago, i ended up breaking off the little white pieces that were jammed in there keeping it from closing, and it's worked fine ever since.

if your white plastic things are what's broke, just remove them completely

 

How do I know? Haha

Do I have to remove anything to see these white pieces?

Mine just sticks sometimes, like if I'm opening it or closing it, it will stick and you have to kind of flick it to get it to stop.

 

x2????

 

I'll let you know soon! As soon as it stops pouring! Since I didn't have a car for a few months, my parking spot in the garage got a little cluttered.

 

funny, its sunny here, lol

 

lol i took the window off the whole frame with the clips that hold it in place and bent the rail a bit cause it got stuck and got soo pissed off that i pushed the window up till finally everything came off lol

 

i haven't had a problem with my sunroof besides the piece that goes around the button likes to fall sometimes

 

lol the owner of your car (my friend) he broke it and never had it replaced. unless the dealership u bought from fixed it

 

i just jerry rigged it to stay ha!

 

4 bolts.
