Hi Ebony how are you, just curious as to how many miles you have on your L? Maybe you could take some detail pics of your engine and post so we could see if there are any CAI or cold air intake, that's one of the first basic mods for our L's. Also it is essential to use the recomended weight oil when you change your engine oil every 3000 miles. You will want to change the fuel filter at least every 10,000 miles, these engines are sensitive to dirty filters, and as with any vehicle you'll want to regularly check your tire pressure and rotate your tires when necessary, that should get you going for now.
Later Bert.

edit: with the basic mods you might also want to get a set of sligthly colder spark plugs too.

might be better to find some others that have Ls and find out what you want to know.
you'll also be able to find a lot of helpful info/sites searching old post and asking questions.

Hi Ebony and WELCOME,
Actually much better than the dealer - find you local SVTOA branch and go to a couple meetings. It's like AA, but opposite.
There will most likely be other gear heads than can check your ride and see what your packing.
I'm in Texas, or I'd offer.
You also might try the local race track, but sometimes people at the track can be butt heads - all scared to admit what they actually run or the real line on their mods. The L family seems to be pretty tight knit - find some other L drivers and hang out and learn from each other.
Anybody have a line on a support group local to Ebony?

SVTOA is at Talladega? this weekend ... Go have FUN !!!
It’s the Second Annual SVTOA-Atlanta Track Day!
Come join us on October 9th for a full day of hot lapping. We have secured the Talladega Grand Prix Raceway for a full day of fun. This is a non-timed driving event, not a competitive event, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have the time of your life! And best of all…convertibles are welcome! So whether you have a Focus, Cobra, Lightning, or any vehicle, for that matter, you can test the limits of you car and yourself in a relaxed, safe and fun environment. You can even bring a passenger. All you need to enjoy this full day of speed and G forces is a car that can pass a simple tech inspection (meaning it is in safe street condition) and a helmet that meets Snell specifications for you and your passenger.
Talladega Grand Prix Raceway, better known as Little Talladega, is located in Alabama, just a short ride from the Atlanta area.
Talladega Grand Prix Raceway is a 1.35 mile road course located just minutes from Interstate 20. The track, built in 1985 has been host to numerous motorcycle races, go-kart races, sport car races, and various clubs events. The track is also being used as a test course by a major motorcycle manufacturer. The track is available for tuning and testing of motorcycles, cars, and go-karts. The track is in operation 52 weeks a year and welcomes newcomers and veterans alike.
One nice thing about this track is that it has no guard rails. Instead, it has large runoff areas in case you happen to overcook it a little. To ensure a safe environment and plenty of track time, we are limiting the number of entrants. Instructors will be available for the Novice group at no additional charge, so if you want to learn the basics of road racing, be sure to take advantage of these experienced drivers. This is a great opportunity to drive at a comfortable pace, hone your driving skills and have a lot of fun on a real road course.
Best of all, the price for this full day of fun and speed is only $120.00 for members and $135.00 for non- Members. This is considerably less than last year and a real bargain for a full day of lapping. We anticipate a full grid, so get your reservations in early! Reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis!
You can make you reservation by completing the registration form and sending it, plus one half of the registration fee to:
Walter Henderson
1965 Skyland Drive
Snellville, GA 30078
Or, if you prefer to use PayPal, you can send it to my PayPal account at: ronsandy@comcast.net
There will be a service fee for using PayPal, so the price is $123.60 for members and $139.05 for non-members.
We hope to see you there!!!!!!!
