How much do you guys think it would cost to get an interior like that but in all black, i just hate the shitty plastic that comes stock.

The pillar is the only thing i could see having a use for.

TimDang
11-29-2005, 02:12 PM
I'm assuming they overlayed the plastic with some fiberglass, I don't think you could prep the original plastic to just paint on, maybe you can not sure. But fiberglass is a lot of work, with that comes big expense.

Doc
11-29-2005, 02:15 PM
I agree, the a-pillar is something I could use...

I like the graphics on the side, the stripe that is. I also like the 2 tone paint scheme. I've been looking into getting a carbon fiber hood, so that would set it off rather nicely.

Cobalt30
11-29-2005, 02:29 PM
i like that car a lot. thats also something i plan on doing w/ the 2 tone paint. I plan on having a black roof and pillars. I think it would look pretty sick w/ my cf trunk lid and hood when i get it. heres a pic of the tc below of what im talking about.

and also how do u guys like that wing? I think i like it but not realy sure about it yet.

The Cobalt showed really well in Vegas
Lots of compliments from GM


We are hoping to get the kit into production soon -
It will depend on the demand for it

The car is only an automatic because when we got it
that was the only car anywhere close to us to buy.
So you have to make due. BUT, the car runs very
well and holds it's own.

The last dyno took the car from 121 HP factory at the wheels
to 200 HP at the wheels

Not tuned and without the methanol at 6lbs of boost
the turbo goes to 25 lbs + methanol and the NOS

We have a new computer for it from GM
and have done some tuning - Hope to have new dyno results soon

so how did you guys do the interior? did you just lay fiberglass over the original interior or what?

and how bad are the rattles when that stereo is bumpin?

I`m guessing they just sanded down the texture,then primed and painted.

11-30-2005, 02:04 AM
In most turbo applications an automatic will do better then a manual but that is another discussion for another time. Can't say I am too hip on the yellow and white. Would have looked better with yellow and black maybe? The spoiler also isn't doing it for me but I like the 3 gauge pillar. I am assuming that it was custom fabricated... different strokes for different folks but it was nicely thought out you can tell.

Good job on the car :twothumbs

Where is the turbo located on the STS system and where does it start to make boost?

Most Remote mount Turbo setups are done after half a foot or less from the end of the exhaust. It makes boost at about the same time any other one would start which would be mid to high 2k rpm range.

Hey thanks... I don't care about most systems though. I was asking about the one on the Cobalt. :)

It's right were the stock muffler was. Chris told me turbo lag isn't any more of a problem with the remote turbo than any other turbo system.

I saw it with my own eyes but not at SEMA. ;)

We used all the factory pieces with fiberglass overlays and paint

We only have one little ratttle when the stereo is bumpin - the sunroof door rattles if
it is open more than 1/2 way other than that the car is pretty quiet.

You can not just sand the texture off in most cases it causes the paint to peel

sneaky is correct - the auto trans does work wonderfully with the turbo
zinner is also correct - the turbo is near the driver rear wheel and responds a
well or better than a standard mount turbo.
At the GM Bash I let one of the GM guys drive the car and he said that he was
pleasantly surprised by the performance and the response. He said it was as repsonsive
or more so than the SAAB he had been driving.

Very nice work. I'm not a big fan of really flashy cars, but I can appreciate the work that went into it. I like seeing the use of a remote turbo. Very sleeper like.

Any chance you will producing the 3 pod A-pillar.

Street Graffiti
11-30-2005, 10:40 PM
The colors on the Cobalt are not your standard colors
They are Auto Air Colors (Water Base)
The yellow is Irridescent Yellow
The White is white with Hot Rod Sparkle over it - Looks like crushed glass
no blues or pinks just white sparkle - it is awesome. You have to see
it in the sunlight and in person to really appreciate the colors.
The graphics are Charcoal Met. matching the wheels and CF colors

for anyone that is interested you can sand down and prime then paint plastic.

as long as you use the right materials and addehision promoter with flex agent, i have done over 20 vehicles with this procedure and i have never had any cracks, bubbles and peels.

Street's Cobalt looks very nice :) i love the remote turbo makes twin charging even easier hehe

Street Graffiti
12-01-2005, 03:24 PM
I did not want to tell people to sand and paint :
because without some understanding of the process needed, they can create alot of problems for themselves.

We have also done many cars that way,
and we have fixed many for people because they have made a mess of their interior.
We have also seen people have to buy new pieces because they ruined what they have.

As for the PILLAR POD is our car - I spoke with Auto Meter a few moments ago and they are looking into the pod set up. But because some of the Cobalts come out with pillar air bags they are not sure what they are doing yet. They are looking at other options for mounting also.

Doc
12-02-2005, 05:09 PM
I'll tell you what. I haven't seen the vehicle first hand, I did just watch a show my DVR recorded (thank god for recommended shows to record). Anyway, I just watched t a show called AutomotiveVision.TV and it had this car on there (along with 2 other GM products). It gave some sweet shots of the interior, under the hood and the turbo. Man, I have to say this is a SWEET ride. I am going to try and find a way to record it to DVD and then onto the net. The show interviewed the owner of Street-Graffiti and a rep from STS.
All I can say is I am impressed. Thats a great car, please pass that on Chris.

Thanks DOC
We have not seen the Auto TV show yet. They are suppose to send us a DVD copy of it. Let you know more when I hear from them.

The Hot Rod Sparkle White looks pretty good over the factory yellow - we tested it before we painted the whole car. It is not quite as brite obviously as the irredescent yellow but it is nice.

I will see if we can get some picts for you to see with the sparkle over the factory color. We can sell the paint to any of you who would like to use it.

Doc
12-04-2005, 08:54 PM
I'm in the process of trying to find a DVD recorder so I can get things off my DVR. I'd be glad to send you a copy when I get one. It should be relatively soon. I am going to try and post it to the net. I might need some more software to do that, we'll see.

No thanks needed. The products speak for themselves.

no shots of the rear mount turbo?? id like to see how it fits under there. i saw in article in motor trend about a sts system for an HHR and i think it said all STS systems are rear mount. and just as that article said the 1/4 time wont matter a bit with the extra 4-500lbs of stereo equipment and show car bs in it. itll be off compared to what youll get in a normal car.

We have not had our Cobalt on a 1/4 track yet - the local tracks are closed for winter
not worth traveling real far - just for a track time

Our car is not built to be the fastest out there - it is built to hold its own and to show well also.

Our sponsors like to see us show more than race - so it's a must to show well
However, the car does preform much better than a factory car even with the extra weight.

i just checked STS's website and they say that as of the 24th of jan you can finance your turbo system. i am starting to love these guys. i cant get together 4500$ at one time but i can get 1000$ or so and pay the rest over a few months. depends how long the financing deal is.

Hey every one. Thanks B for helping keep everyone up to date.
We have been swamped with our shop - sorry.

We do have a computer from GM - We haven't had time to put it in
and get the car retuned. Everyone can not get one because that
"Makes the car unsafe" and this is considered an "off road" show car.

The wing is APR

The body kit we would like to put into production - If you are interested in a kit please
let us know. Email us at sales@street-graffiti.com

The box is pricey - and we would need your car here to fit it in. This is not something
that can be shipped.

I hope I got it all - DOC thanks again for the DVD copy.
