I am in Love....again

Well, after about four months of headaches, my 6 speed is running like new and I am in Love. Heres a list of the issues its had.

1) Viper alarm malfunctioned and had to be removed.
2) Ricetard who had car b4 me had neons and they were wired by preschoolers.
3) SES came on two days after I bought it. Emission parts replaced after 15 days at the dealer.
4) MAF went.
5) Two recalls
6) Clutch completely replaced.

I have a KN intake, Cattman Y, HiFlow Cat, Greddy Evo Catback, and a clutch that shifts like butter in every gear.

The Force is with me now and I love my MAX.


Happy Holidays to everyone on the Org and their families.

Did you take your mods off when you took the car in to the dealer?

Just the intake. The tech wanted to know about the gains with the cattman y. I will have the car dynoed soon. I just have to find a shop close to me with a reasonable fee.

Glad to hear you got issues worked out, now you can enjoy the VQ. I guess I've been one of the lucky ones who've had no problems at all with my Max, knock on wood (other than an occasional Bose CD issue.. no biggy) . Good luck to your engine mounts!
