pay down your loan!!!

dude you should invest in HPTuners, learn to tune and eventually you will make more money than you spent buying it.

plus whatever parts u wanna buy.

I thought about paying the loan down but i put a big enough down payment on it. I never thought of Hptuners. the only thing with that is i am the only LNF cobalt in my area for 200miles. It would be something good to have.

I dont believe CIA or Hahn is getting codes with theirs because of the way the sensor is positioned, but I believe Dejon's throws a code.

I would go for full bolt ons plus some good tires. But then again it depends on if you're looking to drag race the car or road race it.

Some people have ran 12's with just a few bolt ons and tune on stock tires. But for the money you have to spend, you can get full bolt ons, a tune and some nice DR's, or take off the Brembos for LSJ brakes and run slicks.
