I picked it up after having the window regulator and motor replaced under warranty

Then I drove it home, happy to give back the Chevrolet Sonic rental I had while the part was on order.

Switched out my wider and heavier wheel knock offs with boring tires for my stocks with Hankook summer tires. Made steering much lighter and loads more grip. Oh how I missed these tires, but now the looks is kind of down with no wheels.

Cleaned MAF, vacuumed air filter (too new to replace), did the "press and hold the front defrost and air intake selector buttons simultaneously" trick to set the A/C to maximum cooling, made sure oil is above 3/4.

This car is an OCDr's dream come true!

why? base map is pretty much just lowering fan turn on temps and increase omp values. if you need a hand and feel like driving ~5hrs lmk. my bro owns a garage with a few lifts and every tool you could think of

Replaced and installed new plugs and battery. Engine couldn't maintain idle, so I did an NVRAM reset and hope the ECU relearn the trims.
