You better pray that whoever buys it knows that the engine has some serious issues..

 

i wouldnt buy it.....

 

i doubt anyone here would...

 

this is kind of a sad end to what started as one of the most exciting threads on here...

 

wasn't bashing you bro i was simply stating that you were selling you car. i never said anything about not being able to afford it. it was a simple point. sorry to offend you.

 

I have to agree. If I were going to sell the car, I would definitely not have tried to build one of the most ambitious motors on the site. I think that this was a waste of time, money, and effort for a car that is just going to be put on sale.

Go ahead. Sell the car. It's your ride.

 

Close the thread..

 

Obviously the build was a disappointment if he is selling right away after spending the time and money. The problem was he didnt know what he was doing, got someone involved who did a bad job and took his money, and now he is scared of how long it will last.

let this be a lesson to all of us. If your going to change things make sure the builder is truely qualified to do the job right. and dont be cheap in getting it done.

 

Despite what Badwrr6 says I have to agree with ssnipes. It is for this very reason I chose to have professionals do my car. I do what I do very well and I let others do what they do very well, instaed of pretending I can do it all. I am sorry that this build went sideways as badly as it did.

 

This type of rebuild takes time and allot more money than you think..

To do it right, is a hard thing...

 

...and the curtains close on the long up and down journey of a Cobalt SS Supercharged

 

...i still wanna hear vids

 

hear/watch vids

 

Why, It isn't even finished yet..

 

i feel bad for him, he did try his best and put alot of work into the car, he probally lost a lot of money doing so, but alot of people can learn from him.

I like doing all the work myself and think i know quite abit more than the average person but there are quite a few things that i cant do because of lack of knowledge and dont have some tools required but we do need to learn somewhere, some of things i can't/haven't done... i am very intrested in learning more about. i love working on cars/trucks and one day i would like to have the knowledge and tools to do everything. i could afford to pay someone and sometimes i do if its a job i cant do but i like having that feeling of building a car/truck on your own....

 

it is finished and running! if you read, i believe it's his last post, he says he's made several 150+ runs and he talks about how he's running with 0 knock

 

still woudnt trust it as far as i can throw it.

 

^^^^^^^i tend to agree^^^^^^^

 

Yeah, it's finished alright..

It's still a ticking bomb until the problems are addressed.

 

where are the vids and sound clips of the engine. who cares if he wants to sell the car becouse he knows he did wrong on the oil squirter and whatever else hes not telling us. we want to here the engine running and see vids please show them before you sell the car, or tear in to it to fix your mistakes

 

yeah. might be worth it to buy it for the parts. and just go back and correct them and have a car u know about

 

I can't imagine it won't take more then a day and about $400 to fix the oil squirter. Buy new gaskets, new piston since I won't trust the original after it might have swelled into the block, new ring, new squirter and 8-10 hrs of elbow grease. not a total loss yet.

 

what a wast of time reading this thread, I hope they lock this and delete it so no one else wastes there time.I guess the lesson learned is leave it to the pros.

 

dude i so wish i had the extra cash right now, i soooo would buy this thing, fix the problem and post all kinds of vids on here to eat your heart out over. damn same to throw in the towel after all that

 

That motor has no problems you guys honestly have no clue what you are talking about, sure you know cars. This is my car and I know it and FYI I have decided to keep it. I actually had an offer on the car from someone on this board...... I can tput a tag on the amount of hours I have put into it. So when the offer was made i realized i couldnt sell it end of story

Now stay the **** out of my thread if you intent to bash my work or ideas. My car is fine and that is the end of the story.
