Ok so as soon as i get back from basic training i will begin to build my cobalt up to be a track friendly car. Here is a list of the parts that im going to buy and i would like if you gave your input on what my choices are.

Spec Stage 3 clutch (stage 3 cuz i like a car with a harsh engagment)
Spec flywheel
SSBC big break kit and rear conversion kit
RK Sport carbon fiber hood and trunk
RK Sport lip kit
Eagle Rods and new pistons
Full Roll Cage
Hahn Racecraft Turbo kit
Steel Brake lines
Highflow Cat

Thats where im going to start....im sure more will come

As for what i have already.....

TWM Shortshift
Blacked out tailights and new headlights
Vibrant cat-back exhaust
Eibach Springs
Lighting and interior mods
Built my own intake

Like i said .... let me know what you think. I expect to spend close to $10,000 when im all done.

 

go for it man sounds like it will be an awsome out come, sway and strut bars would help and are pretty cheap

 

sounds good just one question u said you are about to get back from Basic training R u in the service if so how r u able to get on the net??

 

the army/nave/airforce whatever has the internet...

is this going to be a drag car or an autox car.

 

I forgot to mention that I also have 17" Motegi Rims that are needed because of the brakes. Yeah i am in the Air Force but i dont leave untill this comming monday. It will probably be about June before i can start workin on the car. Durring tech school i will have internet access and i will be buying parts then. They should be at my house when i come home on leave.

Auto x for sure. I am one class away from obtaining my SCCA license

 

you wont fit a strut bar on with the hahn kit doesnt fit

id get new mounts also and if ya like zzp 3.0 downpipe with magnaflow highflow cat as you already have the vibrant catback which i am assuming is the 3.0 one?? there is two out there..

Also gauges if ya want, like boost, oil pressure, tranny temp, wideband..

Also a Big Thanks for supporting our country

Yea dude mad respect

 

nah my exhaust is the 2 3/8 but i might put a cut out on it right after the sensor on the downpipe.yeah mounts are on that list too

 

How about some axels? those could help you out if you are driving the car hard on the track....

 

While you have the head off you may as well do some head work.

 

oh ok I understand now lol

 

Eventually ill get around to head work but i dont have the cash flow to be doing that plus the cams are good to 350hp and as long as im not layin against the rev limiter my valvetrain is good...i want to get it on the track first...you know..get all the needed stuff as for the axles ill do that when one busts lol

Check this out... Its a great guide to building up ur cobalt and come straight outa GM themselves

lol...i'm in the service have been for 4 years and i have the internet lol....wouldn't be so sure coming straight out of basic training though...you will be going straight to tech training after that...so expect to actually do the build once you get to your official duty station...

 

Thats y I posted like that lol i have been in the Marines for about 4 and I didnt get internet in Boot lol

 

No ill have internet in tech school...... and yeah im going to build once i get stationed....I will also be home for 12 days on leave after tech school...... So from this monday till about 5 months from now i will not be able to see my baby ; (

 

Well you could always take a pic of it and take it with you and look at it every night lol

 

haha true. I figure ill have enough money when i get home for the clutch flywheel and turbo at least

 

I dont know about all of them cause you really dont make that much when you are in Basic unless you got a sign on bonus

 

True but add in tech school too... I sat down with my recruiter and we firgured ide make over 5g (thats including a 20% tax)

 

Well good luck with that let us know how it goes.

 

Will do
