Hey well I have a 2006 2.2l auto.. i have acouple of bucks laying around should I
1. Change the front bumper and put on the ss/na with the RK lip kit
2. Exhaust
3. Work on my handling "i already have the progress springs getting shipped to me"
4. CAI

Oh ya I probably should say Hey everyone since i never introduced myself 3 years ago haha... sorry if this was lame or something i just wanna know what i should do im stuck haha


and i dunno i think im more into the look of the car right now.. so please help me pick i

 

if you have the springs already coming to you. why not get a strut bar and rear way bar to go with it and finish it off

 

hmm that sounds good.. cobalt addiction sells those i think..plus i live in Mass so im think this might be the first...major mod for me..

 

b&m shiftplus. its cheap. it extends the life on ur tranny. then buy the cai, header and exhuast. if u have an SAI u can't get a header yet. search SAI on the site, if u have it, join the club, if u don't CONGRATS UR LUCKY! lol. i'd go performance if u have the extra cash.

HAPPY 1000 POST TO ME!!!!!

 

what do does the shiftplus do besides that? sorry im not very well with cars all i do is take photos of women and design tattoos and clothes haha and own candyshops haha

 

check with the vendors here on the site. theyll give you a pretty good deal. both strut bar and rsw should come out to only a little more then an intake in price

 

ummm i think it lengthens the shift? idk, i have a manual, i just know it keeps your tranny nice n young.

there ya go

 

beware...b&m shiftplus is addicting! it helps shifts like no other...although watch out for the #2 setting, it will shift super hard but fast. It shifts faster than any manual can also...only $30. super cheap!

 

is it hard to install? for some reason cobalt performan ce isnt work

 

theres a how to on here and people have said its not to bad.

 

it took my bf about 10 min to install it....not hard at all. i could do it if i wanted to lol. im not sure where he got mine though...it does make the car perform better as well as confuse people...hehe. i get looks all the time.

 

i found this.. is this it? haha yes im retarded haha http://gravanatuning.com/application...to_Trans_Only_

 

yup thats what you need, but i know they are cheaper other places....

my bf got mine from turbo tech racing....see if thats cheaper.

 

that is it. and heres the how to https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ighlight=shift

 

k im gonna buy that but im not counting it as a part of my question haha

 

lol. its the only performance part i have so far. lol. next is CAI then exhaust.

*2000 POST!*

 

i dont blame you. car modding = addiction

 

PM us if you have any questions...

 

Extends the life? Everything I have read on it so far said it dramatically shortens the life of the tranny because it doesn't shorten the shift points, it makes them shift at higher RPM's; basically giving it more gas into and out of the shift. It doesn't speed up the car at all on a factory car, only really makes a difference once it is pushing out more power, and because of the way it holds the RPM's high before the shift and powers into the next gear, it is really bad for the tranny.

Again, this is what I have read on it so far because I was considering getting it myself so I did my research. If anybody would like to chime in otherwise, please do.

 

Do the swaybar and strut bar. You won't regret it.

 

This intake and progress swaybar.

 

hmm it looks like i might do progress sway bar. how do i know if i have a sai? i heard that will be a problem with some of the cobalts or someting

 

Here's a link with pics.

 

The B&M ShiftPlus+ doesn't have the capability to "move" shift points or change when the transmission shifts. All it really does is make the PCM think that the line pressure in the transmission is lower than it actually is, so to correct the issue, the PCM attempts to increase the line pressure, creating firmer shifts and less slippage.... Quicker shifts and less slipping means a cooler transmission.

There have been guys in older Cavilers running the ShiftPlus+ on stage 2 for 50k miles or more without any problems. I believe HackAbuse has been running on stage 2 for 20k miles. I have been on stage 2 95% of the time for almost 8k miles, without any problems.

 

I'd go with exhaust and intake.
