Been lurking for a few weeks.
Just picked up a '13 S coupe with a 6mt. It's been a little neglected, so I'm going through all the standard stuff. Diff / trans / clutch flush. Clean / replace filters. New Plugs. The threads were great on finding the best fluids / parts for this model. I got a CEL on a downstream 02, so replacing them both.
I gotta find a tuner, cause I have maps, but no idea what they are.
I'm thinking its an Uprev based on how you swap them (Cruise set / cancel)
Just wanted to say thanks for all the info!

Awesome, welcome
If you can give an approximate area you are in, Im sure people can suggest some local tuners. A lot of people remote tune with Admin Tuning, but the car being a bit neglected as you say, better to do it in person.
Also, post some pics once you get her all spiced up

Nashville,TN. Google got me one authorized Uprev shop in town. I just got an OBD yesterday, and plan to hook it up with Torque this weekend and see my A/F ratio on the different maps. I found "valet" on the interstate at 80mph.
#3 is a security lock out. #1 is rich af, but #4 and #5 seem a lot hotter, so if the A/F checks in a decent range I may leave it for a bit. I figure I need to make the parts (air filters for sure, check plugs and MAF) right before I play with any tune, and I doubt a faulty O2 is helping at all. I'm not daily driving it til I get it right. Issue #2 is the crap drop job on it. Looking at coils and ordered some Z1 end links for the hotchkiss sways to replace the clunk fest I got right now. Again, the reviews on here are extremely helpful. I'm brand new to this model.
Thanks for the welcome, any recommendations are appreciated. I'll post some shots when I get her cleaned up.

Congrats and welcome! @ILM-NC G37S gave me the following invaluable advice when I bought my G, which I suggest you heed to save yourself tons of money and inconvenience: "Make yourself aware of a few common issues that these cars develop as they age and consider addressing them before they potentially become paralyzing issues (steering lock, sunroof drain, heater hose connector, etc). Avail yourself to download a full copy of the factory manual from here."
