Do what i do...have a hook up at a dealer trade ur car straight across no payments for a couple months on the new car and have ur insurance drop with a bad ass grocery getter

 

yo blown4banger, Any new vids of ur balt?

 

sounds like the cobalt will never beat another srt-4 again.

 

Sell It!!!!

 

Talk about side tracked.

 

Yeah, but once the corolla has a decent engine (one that won't blow up, for no ******* reason what so ever), it might beat some cert 4's.

 

Any progress on either car?

 

Well, when I got the Corolla, the main issues were...

#1 - Bent right side rear axle.
#2 - Bent right side rear wheel.
#3 - Leaky brakes, with iffy pedal feel.
#4 - Engine over heated, if left idling at a stop for too long.
#5 - Starter did not work, had to be push started.
#6 - Motor coughed and sputtered.


Well, as of today, it has a straightened rear axle, new rear wheels and tires (took care of the bent stuff), new brake master cylinder, wheels cylinders, shoes, pads, and a new right side drum (took care of all brake issues). Also while working under the hood, we noticed it has a large electric fan on the radiator, but it didn't work. In the end, it was a simple ground that had come loose, so we hooked it back up, and it works great (no more over heating)! After deciding the starter was retarded (worked outside the vehicle, but not while bolted up), I got a new one and threw it on, with a push button start I also installed new spark plugs and wires, as well as a new air filter, and cleaned out the carburetor. Now with a steady diet of 91 octane gas, the motor still spits a little in the morning (what carbed car ISN'T cold blooded), but once it warms up, it runs like a champ, and gets 26 mpg if I keep my foot out of it. I also painted all the wheels flat black, and I think it made it look tremendously better than before. Now my car runs good, drives good, has awesome brakes, and looks.... at least better than when I bought it

After

 

You need to buy some bondo and a DA.

Then go get it squirted.

 

you need to quit doing **** to that beater. and get the cobalt running.

 

dont deliver tofu in that hunk of **** cam....like ralliartist says....fix bumblebee first.

 

you act like the balt will get done regardless.. you should've know as soon as a beater was mentioned the balt was done.. as psycho said.. the cakes been made

there's no reason to start another project when there wasnt funds to finish the first one

 

I will disregard this post due to lack of knowledge of the situation. The beater is a DD, I made it reliable so I can drive it, now I shall concentrate on the cobalt.

 

i thought you said you had a car you've been driving around?

 

Cam are you saying that Balt of your's isn't finished yet????
What the hell have you been trying to do??? Break my record???
My DD Cobalt will be done in 4 weeks.

 

Not until I got the Corolla, before I got the rolla, it was either my feet, my 2003 GT mountain bike, or a ride from one of my friends.

I shall send a PM explaining the long repair time.

 

Picture taken 4-7-09...

 

where did you end up attaching the hoist chains too???????

 

How my car looks right now too lol. Glad to see you making progress.

 

So why was the entire motor removed again?

 

lol you don't want to know.

it's the curse of the built lsj's rearing it's ugly head again

 

Paul it looks like he attached the chains to the hook on the rear of the head and to the hook in front by where the SC tensioner pulley is.

 

he didn't have the front hook on the motor (I know I got a phone call).

 

**** idk then.

Cam, shoot me a pm. I'm curious to what happened if you'd like to tell me.

 

I did the only thing I could do... Got a hold of the guy and had him bring the sc tensioner bracket over I just had to wait for him to get off work.

I guess I'll pm you. Although recently, I've added you to my list of Haterade brewers...
