hey chevboy, or should I say chevgirl, just search online at like tirerack.com, discounttire.com, etc, and they will show you hundreds of rims that fit that ride.

I hear this saturday is gonna be nice outside, but my ride will be at the shop getting stage 2 put on. Sunday work for anyone, like noon or 1pm? Weather is supposed to be nice too. I'm sure the vikes play then, but they friggen suck anyway...

yea those are the next on the list, can't decide if I want touring or the performance gmpp exhaust. I hear the cobalt addiction downpipes are really good too. Eventually want to get a 2.7 and 60lb injectors, but I still have about a year of warranty left.

So what's the deal? Anyone down for sunday, or should we see how the weather thanksgiving weekend is? I have that friday after off and I'm sure others do too...

Sunday, Nov 19th @ 2pm

Alright boys and girls, I'll make the call here. Let me know if you think there is a better location.

Put up a post if you will be there and I'll add you to the list. Location will be at the park and ride parking lot on the NE corner of the highway 610 and Noble intersection (Brooklyn Park). Since the Vikes suck, I'm going to put a time of 2pm. The weather is supposed to be cloudless and in the 40's, about as good as it gets this time of year. I know we have a few peeps from the south metro, so if there's a more central location, put up a post and we'll discuss.

Please show up if you say you are going to come, hope you can make it poolboyz. I will be there.

I say let's scrap it. Besides, my car won't be ready until monday cuz the retards at the dealership didn't get the codes to reflash my computer on friday. It's gonna sit there till monday morning cuz you can't drive it with stage 2 hardware and no ecu flash.

Be sure to bring a copy of this printout with the updated re-flash numbers -

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...819#post511819

I'm glad i did, otherwise my dealer/service dept/tech knew NOTHING of what I was talking about. The tech that was working on it was cool about it, it did take him some to download the flash but it was worth the wait and persistence of showing them the first page of that thread with the pic (make sure you use the corresponding year pic). GM does not just send all dealers the updates, they have to find them as they service vehicles.

Just a FYI for you stage II peeps in MN. There is some sort of flaw in the reflash that makes your old rev limit 6.5k go into effect instead of the 7k one. It's happened about 4 times for me, but that was months ago. Haven't had a problems recently. I contacted GM about it and said there are no plans for a fix Anyways, the point is if you experience anything like this please contact them as well and mention that you know of others with a similar problem. I'm not very active on this forum so if you need help send an email. mike.menne@gmail.com

As far as meetings go, I'd be more apt to meet downtown for drinks or something rather than the normal park n ride thing. Especially with winter coming. IF any of you are looking to get exaust or headers n stuff done and would like to hear what a GM manifold/magniflow exhaust setup sounds like send me an email as well.
