Nice!

They tried to get my Compustar remote starter done but they could not put it in my car....they were having problems getting the bypass module to work with the car....after 4 tries they told me that it would probably be best to go somewhere else and get it done.

They were really nice about it and tried really hard to get it to work......but for some reason the '07s are harder then the '06s. So I am taking it to Auto Dream in Calgary on Sept. 11th when I get back from my vacation out east in Quebec.

I hope so and thanks! I'm thinking maybe a sensor also? I took it into AMP this morning. Anyway if its an electronic thing presumably they can put it on a scanner and figure it out. It didn't have an appointment, etc., etc., but I gave them a two-pager describing all the things that ever happened in the 2 weeks I've had it. They said they couldn't look at it today, so hopefully they'll look at it this week. I got it from Nicholson in Edmonton. I love my car though. It's black on black, low-rise spoiler (same as G5) , everything's stock. Doesn't have the LSD/Recaro pkg. but I bought it more for passing and dealing with traffic in Fort McMurray. It's awesome! Do you live in Abasand? That's where I am.

Yah they test drove it today and they were trying to duplicate the problem. I was pretty happy that they at least started looking at it so soon, to be fair they are extremely busy. Anyway I said if it doesn't act up, keep trying. It will. I don't mind if it stays there for a while if that's what it takes. There is something seriously wrong with it just stopping all the time for no reason, and no warning. Also the supercharger doesn't really whine. It just makes this soft clicking noise. The boost gauge says it boosts ok, but I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the S/C itself.

I ordered them from The Parts Counter here in Fort Mac. Dunno if you guys have one in Calgary or not. They are AVS brand though. Each cover has six stickers, 3 for the headlight and 3 for the cover, stick em on, and they just velco together. There's also a small lip on the bottom so they kinda clip in between the headlight and bumber. I find the adhesive they use sucks balls though and they kept comin loose so I used Loctite to hold the velcro pieces on tight.

They thought they maybe fixed it but to AMPs credit they said they didn't know for sure and bring it back if it gives me more trouble. They insulated some wiring around a circuit that apparently is prone to shorting. I pick it up Friday nite and it's fine. Saturday it starts to stall. It gets worse and worse as I burn more and more gas. I 1/2 fill the tank; problem seems to go away. Eventually it stops on Abasand hill (the bottom thankfully) and I had to have it towed. It's obviously the fuel pump. They said they would look at it tomorrow (Monday). I really like my car but it was pretty unnerving when it stalled on the Athabasca bridge and I had to try to get it started at 80 km/h o/w I'd get a road tractor up my ass. Anyway AMP have been pretty good to me so far so I hope they can fix it fast.

There was a faulty ground. They also replaced some of the ignition wiring as one of the cylinders started to miss. Then they had to replace to catalytic converter as the unburned fuel coming out of the cylinder that wasn't firing went into the exhaust manifold and ruined the catalyst. They had to order that part from Edmonton yesterday, so hopefully it'll be finished today.

Hah hah -- mine was "parked" at the bottom of Abasand Hill. I had to have it towed in. Anyway I am going to be a little hard to spot b/c I have the non-SC specific spoiler. Anyway, my car is all black inside and out, and it's completely stock. Probably the only way to tell me from a black 2.4L SS is the SC body mouldings and emblems and the exposed SC grille. I work downtown so I'm on Franklin a lot esp. at lunch...AMP says ready tomorrow as long as it passes the test drive ok.

I got it from a dealer in Edmonton that had a few; AMP didn't have any when I got mine in August. But I see from GM that the SS is on "hiatus." I am sure that we will see a 2009 SS/TC with the Solstice GXP engine; it will be unbelievable.

You won't need a 4x4. Every winter the FIRST vehicle you see in the ditch is somebody who has a 4x4 because they think that they can drive just the same in the winter as they do in the summer.

Well your "summer tires" on the SS are all season tires....unless you have aftermarket rims and tires. On the SS S/C....they come with Pirelli "summer only" tires.....so I have to get winters.

But no matter what car you drive....you put winters on....and it is a much better car in the snow.

How do you find the NGK Iridium plugs work for you and where did you get them?

Any other mods planned for the car? I have lowering springs going in soon, and some extra little goodies inside and some under the hood. :)

Hey fellas! I'm in Ft. Mac for a while working with LEDCOR, on a 73 Km pipeline that goes from the PetroCan road over (behind Syncrude city) to tie in at CNRL Horizon.

I've seen a few Cobalts zipping in and around Ft. Mac, but only one SS SC yet, and it was Vic Red.

I definately don't take my Cobalt up there (its a summer toy) but if you see a Blue/Silver Chevy Caprice Classic, with Sask plates JRTA, flag me down! I'm up for a meet sometime, but my internet in camp blows. I'll try and hop on here, but msn would work the best to get a hold of me. CptnRDallas@hotmail.com If anyones interested.

(ps, i'm on days off until Feb 1st. Then i'll be back up there.)

Yea, lots of fun...lol. I work in the Mine, Fine Trades electrical. I'm the contact person and Acting Tech for team 31. We are really short-handed and have double the work we normally have and it's anywhere from -30C to -60C with the wind. I got to work this morning and saw that the barrell counter was @ 0!!

I picked them up off of ebay. They are GREAT! There were some fogging issues in the beginning but I have a fix for that and it has worked great for other members on here. If you pick them up I can help you with putting them in and aiming them.

Got any pics of the new rims and tires??

DoubleLP
02-19-2008, 12:38 AM
If you get the right springs, they will lower the back end of the car more then the front to give it an even look...instead of the raked look with the front end down more which is how GM sets up the car stock.

smurfy79
02-25-2008, 09:26 PM
Yea, i may look into that once the spring hits and I know for sure that I'm gonna keep the car. I was looking into the GTR's...but it's gonna be real hard to convince the wife that I need that car...lol You got yours lowered?

Hey, anybody know if a:
red SS NA
black NA SS
yellow SS SC
silver SS SC

from the Fort Mac area, are on CSS.net? I see them driving to Syncrude and CNRL almost everyday...
I wave, but being in a white ford 350 crew cab waving at them probably doesn't mean anything to them. :lol:

03-17-2008, 06:17 AM
I know of a Silver s/c in abasand where I live, but it's owned by a 50+ lady who rarely drives the car.
There is a '05 black s/c in Gregoire, drivin by a female maybe 25-30, she's from the NWT, I run into her quite often in the car wash.
There is a '05 yellow s/c in Grayling, drivin by a man 50+, i used to see him going to Syncrude all the time last year.
My buddy's girlfriend has a white n/a with limoed windows, he always take her car to work.
These are people I have actually talked with and none of them are on the forums to my knowledge.
I have seen a blue s/c lately with tribal type vinyls on the car, looked similar to a vehicle i saw on here one day?

TheCaptain
03-17-2008, 10:14 PM
Yea, i have seen a few NA SS' around. A couple orange ones, a white one (no tint), and another black one (i think its different).

The silver SS SC i see has chrome 1st gen halos on it as well. And one of the orange SS NA's has a vinyl of newfoundland on their back window.

Ugh, i went to walmart on saturday night to get a new 360 controller, and ended up getting rear ended by a 5000 lb new VW Touareg. THAT was a great way to finish the day. Luckily my old Caprice is made of real steel, and only some minor paint damage occured.

I work up in CNRL but I leave my Cobalt in Edmonton... Last weekend I decided to drive up to Fort Mac from Edmonton to visit my sister and I drove around all weekend and didn't see a single Cobalt until I was heading back to Edmonton just leaving Fort Mac by the Shell... it was a silver SS/SC... then 5 minutes later I got a speeding ticket (after all the warnings I got from friends to drive slow on that highway)... I think that will be my cars first and only trip to Fort Mac. I did see this douche-bag in a white jacked up Cherokee about a million times... that thing was louder then a god-damn airplane
