Hi Dayn!

 

finally, +1 kill for me, i walked all over a white g35x on my way home, with my gf, brother and a full tank of gas in the car lol.. it was clearly stock though, but i thought it would do better than it did.

 

you mean the one with asain driver? me and brian saw it..looks nice!

 

yes it was asian driver, and the passenger was wearing a mask lol

i don't know my infinitis too well but i think that one was maybe a couple years old??

 

creepy lol

 

prolly jabawockie wannabes

 

no kidding hahaha

 

yah neither driver or passenger would look over before or after we raced. they kept staring straight ahead lol.. and they wouldn't go again either.

 

YESSSS... lol good thing u didnt get pulled over for street racing.. lol.... thats my good night post.. and im off to bed... lol... cya guys

 

yah u r lucky, mine was on wall/erin whichever one runs north, and there was absolutely no other cars around so i wasn't worried

 

Hey Wes and Ryan and Sean, thanks for the very enlightening conversation!!!! I will certainly take very different steps in modifying from now on! It's great to get everyone's EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE in a nice discussion and come up with some great ideas. That's prompted me to map out the best possible modification list for the SS/SC. I've started scribbling down stuff here : http://wpg27ss.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84 and I'll just keep on at it until it looks perfect!

Wes: Here is the info I promised:
Pricing: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/p...ost?id=2214637
Company: http://www.stiegemeier.com/

Last night was good, makes me relize how much i miss the ss/sc's.... maybe one day i'll eventually get one.

 

So.. my baby went back under the knife today.
Took the shop forman out for a drive today. His reaction to the sound was "Wow.. that must annoy the hell out of you." So, he definitely knows it's there. I don't think he knows what it is though...

They're also going to fix my shift knob cap (finally, lol), the squeak that the back seats are making, and the sunroof switch.

Wow, that S/C is ported right out. That's intense! I'm not sure I would get the exterior polished though. As nice as the engine dressup looks, it's to much to maintain.

I'll have to check out that list and put in my comments/crits. It was a good long conversation last night. I had a good time.

You're always welcome out!




P.S. Ronald Jenkees is now my favorite artist.

Yah that was a good meet, next time we should go for a cruise somewhere where we can all park together without minivans and get some good photos.

 

best was that eagle talon that told me his buddies 08 SS 2.4 has a supercharger kit and he dynoed 490 WHP...and his talon beat that cobalt...uhh huh...im know 2.4 expert (lol sure i am) but i am pretty damn positive there is no "supercharger Kit" avabile, the only thing known for supercharing 2.4's is with the eaton and that gives you maybe 240 whp

 

haha ya that was funnyy... lol.. as soon as he pulled away i was like "bulll shittt"

 

yeah haha good night

 

yup.... wat a learning experience.. lol

 

indeed haha

if we gathered one thing from that night its this...


cobalt ss/sc > green benz

 

and

racing on main > CobaltSS/SC

 

but not > SS/NA

 

Hey Ryan, I hope that you can get all those noises fixed! I should complain about the back seat rattle - especially if they can fix it!

Yeah, I can give you the Ronald Jenkees MP3s if you want, but it's cheap online too:

I love watching him groove - can't wait for his next CD!

You'll have to let me know what that frikin rattle int the back seat is, lol.

Oh, and last night Wes drove my car and visa-versa. I think I learned a few things about how to drive my car now lol....

 

lol

the rattle is the seat latch (the latch the locks the back seat in place and opens to let the back seat fold down). Put tape on it and the sound goes away. It did with mine anyway.


and wes really wants LSD now thanks to you ...

 

Tape? That's it??? You'll have to show me! And why me! Hasen't Wes driver yours and Ryans, lol???

 

So, I can happily report that the noises are gone! I don't have the car back yet though...

Air rush from under dash:
Turns out I was right, something came loose. They said it was the main rubber gasket for the steering column itself had come out completely. Took them no time at all to get that corrected.

Sqeak from back seat:
Dane was spot on, this one is a known issue on the 05-06 Cobalts. I believe there is actually a recall listed on this forum about it somewhere. The latch on the rear seat is a bit loose and rubs together on the hook thing that connects to it. The Dealership applies a foam to the latch to eliminate any noise. The 07's came with the fix from factory.

Sunroof Switch intermittence:
Known issue as well. They say they see this all the time on all Cobalt trim levels. The bezel itself breaks on the inside of the headliner, and this causes the switch to not work correctly.

Shift knob cap missing:
Happens somewhat often apparently. They do not have the caps available, GM does not offer them this way. They apparently had to order the entire shifter which will be in tomorrow.

I'm excited.
