Fixing this Bonny almost everyday
Well I've been fixing this 2000 SSEi almost constant since I got it. Here'* the list.
Gas Guage,Radiator Flush&180 thermostat,Left Front hub,Left half shaft,New tires(old ones hydroplaned too easy)Oil pressure switch,Tranny Shift Kit(Extreme).
When I got the car I didn't know it was going to be a money pit.
I want to thank all who put together the How-To'* and Common Problems

Any older car will need to be maintained. If that wasn't by the last owner then you will need to make up for that. These are strong cars and will run a long time. It will get better.

My short time owning my 2001 SSEi has cost some money also
I have to admit that my short time of owning my bonneville has cost me some money also but I look at it as I now know what I have and I really like the car!
*Oil sending Unit
*New $185.00 Battery at Sears (would not even start without jump to come off the top of the transport truck.
*Fuel Filter
*AC Delco OEM Wires
*New Iridium AC Delco Plugs
*Weapon R Secret Intake with Ram Air II Kit
*Steering Wheel Positioning Sensor
*Front Trans Motor Mount
*New set of BOSCH Windshield Wipers
*All 4 Cross Drilled & Slotted Rotors and Pads
*A Supercharger Boost Module
*updated side emblems "SSEi Supercharged"
*HID Headlights
*Plus more in the Mods like Red painted Calipers and Red interior bulbs
Getting the sides retinted real soon
I will check into the trans shift kit with Intense that I am hearing on the forum. Also going to go with a smaller pulley. I am still deciding on what pulley size is the best to get so that i do not have problems.
Has anyone ever used Weter Water by Redline Products. They claim 20 degree drop in temps.
