The Warmer The Harder The Start

    I have observed that when my engine is hot or it is warm out I have a little bit of a hard start. When it is freezing out my car turns right over. I noticed this with the engine response as well. If it's cold out 25-40 she runs hard when it's warmer out 40ish + a little sluggish on the low end. This brings me to my next question. Since SOG seems like a rare-reliable and forthright dealer and my car is around 24,000 should I do that friggin' check up and/or let them give it a once over. I bought the car used at 17,000 with no mods accept for a bad lowering job. Had them change the springs back to stock and it turned out the shocks and struts were never shimmed and were locked up while the car was lowered. Car was back to stock/alligned and handling beautifully and certifed so upon delivery one of the reasons why I did purchase a warranty :bootyshak but that was before I new how phenominal these cars were and that the clutch wasn't covered. Now I feel like a chooch for buying it BUTT, it is my daily driver and in Atlanta if your car breaks down and you are not in possession of disposable cash or a warranty you are fuc#$@d :sx:
    What daya think; take it to SOG or wait until something truly brakes?

    Turbo cars love the colder weather. The ECU will bump the timing up a good bit in the cold.

    Cold starts are just about the same as warm weather starts except that sometimes my car wont start on the first crank.
