stay away from hahn

 

yes, wait till ur car is warmed up before u giver, like 10 minutes of driving. or u will misfire and throw codes. and i guess start reading the threads. lots to know if u wanna mod

 

Also check the treads about all of the rear breaks problems and other issues

 

if you tune your car watch your spark plugs every 10,000 miles. i just put in some autolite iridiums 10 minutes ago gapped to .030 and the car seems like a whole new beast. so the lesson is don't wait until 20,000 miles on a tune to change them

 

what problems? i have problems, squeeky ass pads. inner pad wearing way to fast, whats the fix?

 

i thought stock gap was .032 to .035

 

it is.

 

Sweeeeettt Cars...Fun to drive, most people under estimate them
OHHHH REAR BRAKES SUCK

 

Gotta love the SS/TC but the brakes are annoying!!

 

my front brakes squeek like crazy. it drives me insane. the car shop i use said it was the tire stuff i use but i havent used it in over 2 months and they still squeek. i think i am going to change my pads soon if it does not stop.

 

rear brakes are garbage mine have been sqeeling since 9000 miles. I have 15000 on the car now. I dont have time for dealer crap. Im just gonna replace rotors and pads as soon as I get the money.

 

Hmmmmmm. Could you explain on this more? So, you get a little more power by changing the spark plugs, and gapping them differently???

 

i had no problems with my rear breaks squeeking with stock brembo pads. it was those dang pads my dealer recomended when i had to change the brembo pads that ware down way to fast. I hear hawk pads are good, i will try them next.

 

thanks guys this helps. Im enjoying the car. There are a few things that bother me already... My gas gauge is not persice, it will change up and down all the time.ANNOYING... Once in a while my brakes squeek. Im wondering if i can still add the performance display option if i dont have it?

 

You're in lake Zurich? That's close to my work haha. But yeah enjoy the car bro and hopefully you can make the next cruise lol

 

you can add the display. tthere is a post around here with detailed instructions.

my gas gauge is weird too... once i started it it said i had 3/4 a tank. started it a few hours later it said i had a full tank.

check the door paint. it likes to peel or rub off on the inside.

 

LOL X2...

Welcome!

 

its a cobalt, sometimes ill be sitting in my car KEY OUT, and the guages start moving under 0mph and 0rpm and back up and back down

 

I'm getting my new 09 SS/TC tomorrow on Monday and trading in my 07 SS/SC. I'll keep you a post of how mine is going.

 

Yeah, it'll do that every time you turn off the car/ignition and remove the key, open the door (to exit the timed power mode), and wait about 20 seconds. It's the vehicle powering down, thinking you left the car. If you look, you'll notice that all the needles are resting below zero/empty every time you get in the car before you turn the ignition to "run".

I thought it was pretty entertaining too.

There have been times I turned the car off and then needed to move it again. The gauges really flip out then. You start it up about the time they are powering down and you have no working gauges for a second or two and then they fling back to where they need to be.

The car also makes a few relay sounds and a small air release sound (releasing the vacuum pressure after the turbo solenoid is no longer powered I imagine) about the time the headlights turn themselves off after you turn the car off and open the door.

 

I am going to get all the info from my schools data bases about the SS/TC including the bulletins about recalls if any and post them.

 

sweet. tell me at recess.

 

Don't let anyone give you **** for the yellow. People gave me **** all summer for it bur all I had to do was give them a little boost action and that put them in their place. The brakes do tend to squeek a lot. I taking it into the dealer as soon as I have a free chance. Other than that it's one hell of a car.
