Q: Extreme maintenance? - New to the Saleen world
So I'm not sure how to start this. But first things first. I just recently purchased my very first supercharged car which happens to be a beautiful porformens white 07 saleen extreme #0072. The car has 53,000 miles on it and I was wondering what things if any, that I should be looking for or thinking about doing to my car at this time in her life period?? I know about the regular oil change but what else should I be getting done at this time? I live in Arlington tx so if anyone knows about any shops around here that are good with these cars please any help would be great!!!!!

I would recommend checking the supercharger snout for leaks and check the supercharger oil level. There are several threads here that detail the procedure for checking these. If you do not have any maintenance history on the car I would look at changing plugs, flushing radiator/intercooler system. I don't know of any shops in TX but Jason with 281 Motorsports is always a great resource for keeping these cars going.

Thank you both for the information!! You guys were really helpful. So I called up brenspeed and they charge 300 for a supercharger oil change!! I thought that was crazy!!!! So I went ahead and got some supercharger oil from them and now I wanna try and do this myself I wanted to know if this was possible in my car (07 saleen extreme) or do I just have to pay the price ???

Also I been driving the car for awhile and I like to keep my gas tank on the full side!! but I decided to let it go to empy for once only it went to empy whayyyyyyyyyy quicker then I thought!!! my fuel gauge was just behind the half mark when all of a sudden it dropped down to empty in a blink of an eye!! Then the unexpected happened as I was going to get gas the car died on me. I got some gas from my brother just enough to make it to the gas station. When I got there of course I filled up the tank only out of the 40$ that I put in to it only 20$ went in to it and it was taking no more.now I know my gas tank doesn't fill up with just 20$. And now every time I get to just below the half point it does the same thing I DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON? Any thoughts on what seems to be the problem?

I had the same exact issue. My gauge would read a bit over 1/2 a tank, 10 miles later it would say I have 10 miles to empty. We replaced the entire sending unit in the tank. Problem solved.

After the 20$ it read passed the full mark and 234 miles till empty???? I was so confused!!! But ok I'll make sure to check everything you told me Jason and see if any of those work on resolving my problem. If not I guess I'll just have to replace the whole sending unit!!! thank you guys for the help!!

Not sure that this will help or not but here is a diagram of the fuel tank setup. One other thing to check would be the piping from the fuel tank to the EVAP tank. If this is clogged the air inside the tank gets trapped and causes the fuel shutoff on the pump to kick in.
