Ok so it has been forever since I came back online to this forum, but after doing some research I've realize you guys would be the best input for ideas for my 07 2.2.

So when I come home from Afghanistan in a few months I realized I'd like to spend my deployment dough maintenance for the car.

So the car's approaching 100k mi, and other than tranny fluid and oil changes and spark plugs, I haven neglected everything else maintenance wise good excuse to get new stuff right lol?...Here's my plans on maintenance and mods:

1.Complete tranny, coolant and brake system flush
2.Serpentine belt ~ Original from the factory yayyyy....new stuff
3.Injectors - Thinking about putting 60#'s in there, worth it if I get HP Tuners to tune it with?
4.HP Tuners - Regardless if I get the injectors, I'm getting HP Tuners, because I've moved to COLORADO SPRINGS, where only 85 and 89 are available at majority of gas stations.
5.new COP's - getting 4 of these new low resistance bad boys....im not sure as to the life and weardown of these items...worth it or no?
6.Engine/Tranny Mounts - whos' the best, I've seen Powell and TTP, whos is best?
7.Control Arm Bushings - whos the best, I haven't seen many of them around
8.Shocks - Not sure, open for input here
9.Springs - Gonna go with eibach, have SS on there now

can anyone tell me anything im missing? or have any suggestions?

(oh and if there is enough left over, I'm thinking a garrett turbo kit unless someone knows of a better kit? shhhhhh don't tell the wife lol)

 

don't get poly bushings for tranny mounts get the f23 rotated mounts from powell. They also have spherical control arm bushings iirc. zzp has some kyb shocks that are pretty cheap and the garret kit is no longer made.. zzp has a nice turbo kit on their site as well. I wouldn't get 60's unless you are for sure getting a turbo kit but the turbo kit comes with new injectors anyways. I would get 42s at most for na...

 

Hey avenger do you track your car at all? From your sig it looks like you race in it some form. If you do I would get the FE5 strut/shocks with Pedders. here is a link.

thanks for the advice guys, to the gentleman who told me not to go above 42's, I understand the ZZP kit comes with 39's, and while I do want to stick NA, being at the high altitude it really kills me, so I think I might end up having to go turbo and rock some 60's.

And yes man I used to do some autox back in vegas area, had some fun, and yeah I didn't know they made those....I was definitely thinking about the FE5's is that SS or GMPP? I've been out of the loop for a long while so I can't remember what they stand for. I want to get back into it too when I get back into the springs.

 

The FE5 is the Cobalt SS factory suspension.
