im looking at all the cars the LSJ has been in and i saw a 04 RL for a decent price...is there any differences in the motor at all? between the new years like problems fixed or upgrades?

and what is a full list of the LSJ cars?

 

I got an 04 redline. Engine and tranny is the same as cobalts. Only problems that i know of really with 04's is the intercooler pump was wired backwards and it might be crapped out and i think they have a slightly different tune then newer years. The intake is a little different than cobalts too.

 

Control arms are different between the two, the tunes are slightly different between the years, and the redlines exhuast is a little longer than a cobalts and it has dent resistant panels lol

 

panels are cool and the way the doors open

i like my balt but if you were trying to make a sleeper i say redline would be cooler

 

i love that 3rd door, i wish they could have incorporated that in the cobalt

 

thanks guys..might get a cheaper 04 RL...

 

they are more rare as well

 

I actually prefer the RL's myself....

 

Yeah i forgot about the control arms and exhaust. Exhaust just needs to be extended and move a hanger. Here is a pic of mine.

 

That is clean hommie!

 

stop making me jealous!!!

 

Me too. I failed for buying a brand new 2.4SS when I could've gotten a slightly used Ion RL thousands less.....

 

Thanks its stock now but stage 2 should be coming within next month or so. I got progress springs on it with aem intake and some cross drilled/slotted rotors. After stage 2 probally gonna go with the clear image header and downpipe.

 

04 redline ftw!!! stronger axles

 

yeah but no lsd ftl

 

d00d are you following me!

 

doesnt the comp package have lsd?



yes matt i am..it just so happens we are interested in the same threads lol

 

Great minds think alike.... yes the comp package has lsd and the boost gauge!

 

Yeah the comp has the lsd. I was just refering to my car not having the lsd. Maybe sometime in the future tho.
I still need to paint the center caps and black out orange corners too.

 

how could i tell if its comp package? just pics and a little description to go off of..not much

 

u'll have a boost gauge on ur steering wheel and grey rims

 

like this?

 

Most of the time they have the gumetal rims, and boost gauge on the steering wheel and fog lights. No the 04's didnt offer the comp package. Only 05 and up. Thats about what i paid for mine 2.5 years ago with 16,000 miles. Does that one have blue seats or gray. if gray thats pimp.

 

and whats the car list for the LSJ?

 

cobalt ss, ion redline, ariel atom, saab has same engine but turbo but i dont know if its considered an lsj. Not sure what else.
