Same here. They look great, and have a perfect offset.

steven112, thanks for the great shots of your 2007 Solstice. Awesome looking, indeed a beautiful Aggressive Solstice.

whats a good tune for a 2.4 solstice??

Critterman · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2011, 09:48:21 AM »

Vector if they are still around, or DDM can do it. Actually any of the tuners probably have a tune available.

However from experience I can tell you a tune alone will not give you the snap you are going to be (if not already) looking for. You need to add a little something to the mix.

See DDM Works for a tune

I have a Vector tune since the beginning and like it very much. But I agree with DBG above if I was getting a tune today, I would go to DDM.

Welcome to the forum!

to you. Glad to see you beat Kelu to the punch . Must say very good looking Car.

Car looks very nice, however because of the mean look but no power, you will find yourself been challenge a lot.

P0171. my car is running like a turtle. i need help!!!!

BSRL · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2011, 12:24:27 AM »

supercharge it at DDM, they have several stages for the 2.4L. Car looks great!

2kwk4u · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2011, 06:01:51 AM »

P0171 is a DTC for a lean condition. In other words, your fuel/air mix is low on fuel. There could be several causes ranging from a poorly placed O2 sensor to an actual failure of the fuel pump or pressure regulator. Given your exhaust mods, I'd focus on the O2 sensor first.

How long ago was the exhaust work done? How many miles are on it (both the car overall and the exhaust)?

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and re-connecting it to see if the code goes away. This will only be a *temporary* fix, as the root of the problem will still be there - but at least it will get you out of low power mode and get your car to your garage or shop of your choice if you have it parked on the side of the road at this time...

I agree with 2kwk4u for the exhasut thing. i woulodn't disconnect the battery, although it will certainly not do any harm. just if it has gone into limp mode, i would leave it this way until you resolve it. in other words, drive it like a turtle until you check exhaust, maf etc, find the root of the problem.

Welcome on board. Very clean-looking Kappa

Critterman · « **Reply #22 on:** March 25, 2011, 08:58:28 AM »

He also has a custom cold air intake down in the fender well. Placement of the MAF sensor is crutial. It is usually close to the airfilter in a straight pipe. It is also uni-directional so it has to be facing the right way. Pull it and clean it with MAF sensor cleaner (don't use anything else) and see what happens.

An air leak anywhere in the intake or in the exhaust before the last O2 sensor could be an issue as well.

the exhaust work was done about 2 months ago, but i did get into a really bad wreck with it after. and then after the wreck, the check engine light started coming on. the car only has 18,000 miles on it
