The omputertuning is the HP Tuners. That is the approx. cost of having someone tune it using their software, not buying your own copy of the software.

I would set aside extra money for a clutch since that set up will be pushing the stock clutch past it's limits. You will having to replace it in a matter of no time if you get on it often.

Like mentioned above, you might have to wait for the new PCM to be cracked since it will updated with the 07. It is designed to read the sensors faster and more often that the 05 and 06.

i have heard the 07's are set up a little differently than the 05's-06's so if you are going to get a 07 dont get too excited about getting all the mods too soon

well i dont plan on doing any of these mods till the next summer anyway cause winter is on its way here in toronto so im thinking more around june-august next year maybe a lil earlier if i cant hold off

If you are waiting until next summer you have time to learn. Really the tools you need are pretty basic, of course fancier tools may make the job easier/quicker, but you can get by with the basics. As for the knowledge, start reading up on the "how tos" and get yourself a haynes manual to show you how to take apart everything. The labor costs you would pay will easily pay for any tools you may need.

There is no need to be afraid of working on your car. It's just nuts and bolts and any logically minded person can do it.

I'm from toronto aswell. i was gonna get an 07 within a month but decided not to until around May 2007. By then I'll know enuff about cobalts since this site is awesome. i read alot of the How To's and it doesnt seem all that hard. its not like we are putting in moving parts. most of the stuff is just bolt on it seems. For now im just gonna buy a used cavelier for cheap. I might just keep it as a winter beater.

If you live in Toronto, I'm sure there's plenty of guys in here around the area than can either assist you by showing or telling you how to do it. Just choose a day together and according to man law, I think a 12 pack of commonly drank beer in your area should cover the fee.

It's more satisfying when you do it yourself, the only difficult mod that I wouldn't install myself is the clutch. I just want my car to run mid 13's and I will be more then happy.
