I got one on my car but I got a bezel cluster with a pod on the way if you want it

 

Good to meet a couple of you guys (Chris and Andrew) on Saturday, hopefully meet some more of you guys another night..

Nice truck man, looks nice

 

woulda been there but was up in leduc

 

Thanks. Got a few things to do to it but she can beat a 2009 5.7 hemi truck as well as a 2006 5.9 Cummins. Not bad for a 20 yr old truck

 

what kinda truck is this??

 

chevy 454 SS

 

Try another dealer, that is bs. You've had the exact thing happen to you that is described in the recall. Even before the recall, my cat went on me, and it was replaced under warranty.

What dealer did you go to?

A few of the rest of us should be making it down next weekend.

 

surprise enough it was ****.... the dude didnt even look at the papers. he just said no.... i dont care i am just gonna get a dp anyway.... i know you all are on the subaru band wagon but i am gonna keep this car any way.... so what if i am not the fastest thing on the road.... i am a super slowbalt, however i do it with style lol!!!!!

 

Only I'm on the Subaru bandwagon! ahah (soon to be off for now )

Who else is??

 

pickles and john.... lol is there any truth to john getting a audi mark? i heard that through the grape vine.... dont get me wrong al i like wrx but not my style... i am more of the i spend 6 grand too much grocery getting complete with shopping cart handle, go fast chevy. lol i love my car cant you tell.... lol kidding all jokes aside tho i am very serious about doing all of this. i do need a 500 dollar car... start there....

 

well seeing as mark is sharing his plans i might as well share my winter plans so i have a cobalt addiction shorty header which i am going to bolt up with a 2.5 catted dowmpipe from zzp, catback which still undecided on thinking of the ARK N2 but hey guys give me suggestions then getting a wideband and 2 other gauges but also not sure what ones to get then obviously a tripe gauge pillar and if money permits drive down to zzp at the start of the summer to supercharge the 2.4

 

your gonna need a boost gauge if you want to supercharge it

 

ya i know that i am putting that in a gauge on the spedometer

 

do you need a cluster pod?

 

ya eventually y u got one and also you still going the sell that stock sub

 

I do have one bezel on the way. since I got the truck I won't be doin anything to the car. Sorry man

 

ok so you selling it then cause i would take it off ya just state a price

 

I'll have to go back and check to see how much they are

160 bucks and it's yours

 

sure man let me know

 

those are nice trucks.

I love the fact that they're:

• -2wd (for road use 4x4 is just extra weight/drivetrain loss)
• -shortbox
• -fleetside
• -big block (iirc it was in fact the first, and only time since, that the big block was offered after having been dropped off the option list after 1971/1973 from regular half tons.)

the only problem;
in stock trim the 454 is grossly underwhelming in power...

big some time & money can fix that too

 

I decided today to polish my valve cover does anyone have a demmel o something to save me doing it all by hand? I just need to borrow it for a day or two

 

Submitted for your amusement...

the finished product would likely look better if you did it by hand...

I don't know at this time how to best explain myself though...

 

Ya do it by hand, it'll take about 8 hours. When wet sanding use wd-40 as the lubricant, will come out real nice and go in the same direction don't cris-cross your sanding

 

I've never heard of using WD40 as the lube... hmm, learn something new every day...

I saw the most pimped out LSJ Cobalt on sunday night;
THIS guy's car is sweet - you really need to do the mods he's done - he trapped 103mph this past weekend at his "local" track!
(their local track is all the way in Gimli, and their version of secret street not only requires helmets, and costs $45!?!)

iirc he had:

• cooling mod(?sorry drawing a blank, but he had a 2nd cooling reservoir for continuously bleeding the supercharger cooler)
• OTTP stage 2 c/w 28mm pulley
• methanol injection

he said that after his run, he could pop the hood, and his supercharger was cool to the touch...

I loved the way his methanol injection worked - seemed simple enough, and could probably be very well concealed...

I would think he also had upgraded mounts...
