The rails will probably be my next addition. During an autox last weekend a friend was riding with me and was getting his fingers pinched in the door jamb above the window due to the car flexing. Have you put a set on a sedan yet? any differences as far as installation between the coupe an sedan?
no difference as far as I know. can figure it out for you
I will post install pictures later but I have to go back to work lol cheers

I think my first PRS part(s) will be the rotated tranny mounts. This will probably be later down the road, but that's my goal.

I would love to have every single suspension part Powell makes for this car, but I highly doubt my car will ever see a race track. There isn't anything close enough around here. I should move to Atlanta hahaha

The Time Attack Cobalt is simply nothing less than amazing. I wonder what happened to it??

my body has quite a bit of flex in it as well.. so much the top corners of the driver and passenger side front doors both rubbed (and chipped) the paint on the body.. I'd be interested in seeing more of those under-car rail pictures then as well

If thats the black TC I'm thinking of, he had to trade it for something bigger. As he said, "The wife left me to buy a car...so I can home with the Cobalt and said "Look! Racecar!"". He's got an SRX now lol.

Hopefully I'll be making my way down to see John this summer at some point for some trans mounts. Always good stuff from Mr. Powell.

I don't fully understand the whole oil catch can idea. Its made to keep oil from building up in the intake correct?

Nevermind, just read Powell's write up on it. Its vital that this system works as efficient as possible in order to maintain good life and performance from the LNF, especially ones that are modified. John, whats your opinion on a regular seafoam treatment? Does it actually help or is it just a bunch of hype?

it helps, i have used it on my lsj. i took off the injectors and poured seafoam and let it sit the whole night. took most of the gunk off the crown, beside the embedded cooked carbon.
and its the cheapest smoke screen at speed

I used it religiously on my LSJ, but never was able to take a peak inside the engine to see how it looked at 170k miles when I sold it.
