Just bought coilovers. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/part...lovers-325686/

My clunky struts are just making way too much noise and these are way cheaper than going OEM.

Nice. Should bring some life back to the car. Amazing how much freshening up suspension makes it more fun to drive again!

Bummer this place is so dead.

Seems like all the threads posted now are just young kids trying to fix basket case cars.

Started a new job this week at Birchwood Collision now. Have my coilovers ready to install but waiting till I've got some money so I can do the alignment and get my valves blasted and injectors serviced/cleaned.

Yeah it's too bad this forum has no life left. Spent and wasted allot of hours on here. Constant entertainment.

Good for you! Where is that birchwood collision located? By headingly or by regent?

Most tuner forums are dead. I'm part of a few motorcycle forums and they seam to be chugging along just fine but the demographic is a fair bit older. I think younger people FB everything now, older a little more drawn to the practicality of a forum for info sharing.

I’ve tried so hard to sign up on the Cadillac forums. I just can’t do it! So full of useless info and idiots who know nothing other than keep it factory and take it to the dealership for issues.

Finally got the redline on the dyno. Ran out of fuel pump, still pretty happy with the outcome though. 416.9whp and 411.4wtq. Not bad for S252ET on 94 pump gas.

Nice! What kind of dyno and boost? You must be hitting it hard with timing at low rpm to get that kind of tq. Or it’s just the dyno.

It's probably the newest mustang dyno in North America, p plus literally just picked it up in US two weeks ago. As far as numbers, the dyno was actually reading low, Brian the owner of p plus dropped 200 hp on his mustang on the new dyno. They have since calibrated it so Mike is wanting to strap it down again to get another pull. I've upgraded the fuel pump and should have my 18# waste gate springs by then. Had it up to 26# but dialed back a bit after stock pump was maxing out. Should get better numbers. I was getting mega boost spike which might have contributed to that tq number. We'll see what happens. Car ******* rips on the road.

Seems the tech signal is better than it used to be. But kinda hit and miss. I’ve dyno’d at speed factor but motions dyno is my fav for sure. I’d like to head back to motion on a bit more boost actually. They don’t use their website much. Just call motion and ask to talk to Sheldon.
