View Full Version : New Member / Cobalt Owner
Jarmez258 12-22-2004, 07:26 PM Hey everyone, new member here! Glad to see a site dedicated to the Cobalt.
On Monday night I bought a Cobalt base sedan with an auto tranny in Blue Granite. I knew the first time I saw the Cobalt on Chevy.com that I had to get it. I have not seen one on the road here in the Philly area yet. It is quite an upgrade from the 01 Prizm I traded in for it. I hope to get some pics of the car soon and post them up here. One funny thing I have noticed so far is that the car battery is located in the trunk, and there is a remote positive terminal under the hood. All in all I love this car, from the styling to the smooth and quiet ride.
I look forward to posting here!
HERE ARE THE PICS!!! Enjoy!

zinner 12-22-2004, 08:58 PM Welcome to the board. Can you post some picture of your car for us?
Most of us are waiting on preorder, but I think there are a couple people who actually own a Cobalt.
Jarmez258 12-22-2004, 09:18 PM I will definately post some pics once I have some time to take them in the daylight. Unfortunately, I am stuck in work during all of the daylight hours. I plant to take some pics on Christmas Eve day, and I'll post them here then!

2 980 watt Rms each power acoustik amp FUBR series
1 600 watt 4 channel P/A amp FUBR <- for 4 speakers
i know for sure im doing the 12's but im not sure about the 15 inch sub yet read below

Icculus912 12-23-2004, 08:08 AM Hey everyone...
I am also a new member (celebrating my first post).
Currently waiting for my pre-order SS s/c. Ultra Silver Metallic with some black vinyl ready for striping to compliment my brothers black w/ silver SRT4.
I am pretty new to the tuning scene (i grew up driving classic beetles...bit of a difference :) and fell in love with the cobalt the first time i saw it. I am looking for some advice with early mods and upgrades. I am definitely doing exhaust, intake, and pulleys but i am not sure what else i should do. Any input would be great. I was also thinking about one JL 8 in the trunk...any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot guys, and i will be sure to post up some pics as soon as I get it...
05LSCoupe 12-24-2004, 12:45 AM PICS PICS PICS...... we want pics :lol:
Hope the cobalt is treating you well so far.... did I mention pics? :D
Impavalier 12-24-2004, 02:07 AM Hey welcome to the site! blue granite is awesome....just checked one out today
Jarmez258 12-24-2004, 03:27 PM New pics added to the top!
JonyyB 12-24-2004, 03:42 PM http://home.comcast.net/~hallmanj/onlinestorage/cobalt007.jpg
I love it! Looks so nice and clean. Love the color :thumb:
now let the mods roll :D
Oh, get rid of the dealer sticker and slap a cobaltss.net decal on :D
Jarmez258 12-24-2004, 03:49 PM Thanks Jonel! Once I get the cobaltss.net decal it is going right on!
rxxxryan 12-24-2004, 05:05 PM im just not impressed by it....it has an odd look to it...kinda like the Saturn Ion sedan...I just cant see it converting any import buyers...the interior looks better than the Cavalier but so is everything on the market today...it meets the standard instead of exceeding standards which is what GM needs
cvenom2122 12-24-2004, 07:12 PM !!!! awesome trunk pics lots of room from the look of it thanx again bro!!!! :D can wait to start my plans ill put a diagram up very soon!

If all you have are negative comments, plase make like a tree and leave. I'm sure the majority of the people on this forum could care less about your anti-GM remarks.
The car looks good man!!... I really like the idea of the battery being in the trunk... imagine how much easier it make things when going to install an amplifier, subwoofer, etc etc... instead of having to run wire through the firewall :o
Keep us posted and enjoy the new ride!! :cool:

By the way you are Such A WEIRD kid!
RedCavyRS99 12-25-2004, 09:49 AM you just dont understand the effect of a good humping has on things:rolleyes:
avro206 01-02-2005, 01:15 AM I am one of the few that thinkks the 4door looks very good. Looks nothing like the UGLY Ion :lol: Nice car you have--like the colour
The battery is in the trunk... interesting, I like that!
JonyyB 02-26-2006, 06:44 AM This thread is old, but remember back in the days when we only saw a couple Cobalts?
It was exciting to see members starting to drive them

I remember I was one of the first to get an SS/SC that actually made it in the state of Michigan last March and wasn't a pre-order. Oh man.. what a steal! I called and put a $100 deposit down on the bad boy to hold on to it when I seen it was in there inventory(thought it was a fluke, no one else had this car ANYWHERE unless you pre-ordered), they didn't even have the car yet nor have I seen it yet either! haha, I remember an hour later the dealership calling me saying I hope your serious on this purchase because we have 100 other people who just called and they are HOT for this car!
I signed for it after taking it for a spin 2 days later :)

you look odd...my sedan is sexy! :twothumbs
