How bad was the damage?

 

Damage? There is very little damage to the car. Clean title. Just some things were way out of alignment and aftermarket body panels. Only damage was some spider cracks in the paint on the front bumper and some scratches on the side. He had parted out the carbon hood and trunk, along with headlights and tails so thats why they were not on when I sent you the pics, and the bumper was off from when we unloaded it off the transport truck. This past weekend I had the front bumper, side skirts, both front fenders, rear drivers fender, and both driver doors off so I could line everything up a little better since some of the mounting tabs were way off and the hinges were way out out alignment from the door modifications that were on the car that I took off. I also test fitted the trunk to make sure its going to align before sanding and painting it. Its blue right meow lol

 

WoW! Just think about all the food you can keep fresh with those two giant Tupperware containers!

 

Now if only I had a large microwave

 

im still confused hahaha

 

so in a continuation of my brake problems.. either the bolts or caliper bent on the front left and it scrapes on the wheel in reverse and pads rub as driving. Taking it to the dealership tomorrow to have it looked at. At this point I have tried to fix it but its become an issue of my personal safety. ensue the jokes at my lack of technical expertise

 

Haha gov you are the master mechanic

 

Id just rather be around to enjoy the cobalt and the rest of my life lol

 

FIFY


That sounds like too much to ask. You're getting picky.

 

maybe a bit

 

that nastyfast dude that owned the grey redline was bag of useless c unts

 

It just rubs a little to let you know its still there

He was honestly really good to deal with through the whole buying process. Very prompt and kept really good contact and threw a TON of extra stuff in the car. Had a few phone conversations with him and he helped me get in contact with a shipper that was cheaper than the other quotes I had received and was really quick to pick the car up and get it to me, as well as having the driver call me for updates.

I know a lot of people didn't get along with him or whatever, but I always have just fine.

Had the car almost a month and a half now, and finally in the past week I've been able to make some good progress. A lot of reverse progress from what he had done though. Took the Lambo doors off, pulled off the dual exhaust, some other misc. body panel fun that I mentioned before, took out all the red interior pieces to sand down and paint as red is just too busy for me, and got the motor pretty close to being ready to be pulled. It supposed to be stupid cold Saturday so I'm just going to spend most of the day at the shop and maybe get the motor out and ready for a stock one. Got some studded snow tires too, so it should do well as my new daily

Also, when my TVS comes off a local is buying it, so I can still get my hands on it

 

that nastyfast dude fucked josh on a head he took a ball peen hammer to it before he shipped it he is a dishonest piece of c unt **** period

 

Cun+

 

I do remember hearing that now. At least my car showed up ball peen dent free lol

 

I've said my piece about that whole situation. I was less than impressed with his decisions. But that's in the past. I've learned from it. I'm glad you got a good deal though Taylor. Should be well worth the process.

 

Funny thing is, I bet it still has the ported head on it that I sent him

 

Its possible lol. I'd have to look through the receipts again to see if it ever got a head at ZZP. Sooooo many receipts came with the car, every trip to zzp and all the local stuff as well.

 

The head I got in return was a zzp head......and hammer timed.
So I wouldnt doubt there is a reciept for one

 

That makes sense.

On a somewhat TVS related note. The car that it is most likely going on when it comes off of mine is an 04 redline that is on stock blower 2.7, 80's on E85, stock header, zzp 2.5" catted dp, hahn 3" catback, stock intake. We are going to trade blowers plus cash of course, and I'll give him the 2.9 and 2.7 pulleys, he will give me the m62 and GMS2 pulley, 2.9 and 2.7. I'll sell my 2.6. He will also be trading me his stock header, zzp dp, and stock catback plus cash for my vibrant header and zzp dp with kooks stainless res all v-band, so I have something to put on my daily. He will run the TVS on the 2.9 and E85 and eventually get a BRFPS and run the 2.7. I will run the 2.9 on 91 in winter and for long trips and run E85 and 2.7 with stock header, zzp 2.5" dp, and stock exhaust all other times of the year since I have 80# injectors that came with the car.

In short, he will get a nice upgrade with room to grow and I will get a fun setup for a DD that is still quiet and will probably make about 280whp.

 

what are you putting in your car?!?!

 

The turbo kit that came off the gray car but with an s256et for now. My friend bought the 259et and some misc parts. We split the kit, and sold what we replaced with parts from this kit. The charge piping is all v-band and has a TTR manifold and different CP routing. Should be pretty clean looking, just gotta strip the red PC off so I can paint it all to match my bay.

 

Damn. Yeah. Had me worried for a min

 

and it idles this smooth

the only hiccup was the cps hex had to be retimed me and alan took car of that

 

Oh lawdy lawdy
