Default New here, not to forum life

My name is Jeremy, 37, and I just recently bought an 02 SS with 117k miles. I have been on forums for years, I just wanted to learn how to get creative with my new Monte, I like the car, but it needs more.

I bought it for fuel economy as my 94 Z71 that I built is a gas drinking beast, but man it is fun. This is my first automatic I have willingly purchased in years, I love a standard transmission, but I love the look of the MC SS, and I know they only came in automatics only.

I am retired Army, Iraq vet, so I enjoy my time tinkering on vehicles and reading how to make them better.

I was kinda shocked that the value wasn't as high as I would have thought.

Mine has a dent and a few scrapes, but maybe it will keep other damage from happening.

I have what appears to be the common sunroof clicking sound, fortunately it is closed. It also needs some suspension work done, but it is 15 years old, so that's expected.

I have stumbled upon the ZZP L36 SC kit, and seems interesting, unless a complete L67 dropout is a better alternative.
