Hey just a quick invite if anyone wants to go, there is an Auto-x event happening in Penhold this saturday at 9am. $30 per entry not sure how many runs you'll get but their running it all day i assume. It's being held near the Red Deer Regional Airport, somewhere in there is a peice of land which is owned by the military i guess and works well for auto-x. I'd love to see a bunch of Cobalts there if anyone can make it.

zoom on the NE portion of what is marked out as the airport, NE of Air Spray's yellow water bombers, and what looks like a lumber yard (actually a truss manufacturer).
Looks good in satellite view down to 20m resolution. The whitish strip is concrete (parts of which are too broken up to use), the rest is good asphalt.

sorry to hear firedance. if this season is still nice. i might pull another one before it snows. but its hard to say. Joe! for crying out loud. i was waiting for you to post about your trani. though it was sooner then i expected. regardless. you should come as a passenger. i would like to see everyone before it snows. i am taking you off the list, but will include you in ther reservations for dinner:twothumbs

oh and BTW. i will be posting everything up once the poll is closed so your not all hanging in the dark.

p.s. there was a black ss that passed me on the yellowhead today that gunned on his throttle so i could here his terrible exhaust. looks to be heading to stony plain. do we have any members from there?

zipo1200

Ok so two things. I just got back from holidays in which I drove the cobalt to south Oregon and back via Victoria B.C. Was really good and it performed great. Only problem is a rattling in the region of the front wheel at slower speeds over bumps which developed on the trip. Any ideas and would it still be covered by warranty? I've had the car for 1 year 2 months. Other thing is I bought Bridgestone Blizzak REVOS with steel rims for the winter, online. Price with shipping, customs, mounting and balancing was $862 CDN. I thought it was a good deal what do you think? Bought from tirerackwarehouse.com

coby$$
09-18-2008, 06:17 PM
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT, alot of the cobalts have the same problem, yes it is covered by warranty the dealer should be aware of thisproblem apparently it is very common, but do the drive with them to replicate, nothing sucks more than to pick up your car and they tell you that they havnt found anything wrong, my old cobalt did it and so does my new one both were fixed under warranty, blizzacks are the shit buddy i have a set of coopers and there alright but i think im buying a winter car preferably RWD

I hope everyone makes it out, it seems everytime theres a meet only a fraction of the people show up, remember that the 21st is the official last day of summer (that means girls in parkas and black winter rims come out), and the nicola crosby says come sunday well be getting some cold shitty weather.

zipo1200
09-18-2008, 06:56 PM
i had a rattle around my wheels but i found that it was my sway bar link that was getting loose. put your hand underneith and see if you can move it up and down. you may have to try both sides. otherwise it could be the intermediate. good luck. i hope everyone shows up too.

anyways i am posting the map up for the cruze.

also since we are a few days aways i should also mention, although i am sure i dont have to remind anyone, when we go down groat road BE CAREFUL. i cant stress this enough. i dont know if you guys heard about last year but we had a civic go straight into a poll and was seriously hurt. if anyone wants to be a smartass and pull stunts. you will no longer be welcome to come with us on cruises.

we have a pretty respectful group so i dont see any problem.

didnt realize we were heading up stonyplain road AGAINST TRAFFIC lol. we gotta turn right the intersection before it

we also have to cross further south at the walterdale bridge... that is a one way bridge you have us going the wrong way over to....

outtamymind
09-18-2008, 08:28 PM
so not to thread jack you guys but i was up in edmonton on wednesday for my uncle's funeral and noticed a nice looking red ss/sc in the twin brooks area. anybody on here? and hope your guys meet goes well.

you technically can go east on stony plain. just down a single lane road until about 166th st. but it would be better to just go 100th ave anyways and yeah we def need to hit 107 ave to get onto groat.

Ok boys are we shutting it down or is there going to be one more meet? Just changed my diff. fluid. Pretty easy, damn plugs were torqued on very tight. Some minor cursing. Didn't want to take any chances and put in the saturn 21018899 recommended fluid. Cleaned some minor crud from the magnet.
