make sure it reads all the parameters before u buy
From what I've read up on, torque reads pretty much everything your computer does, basically the same as an interceptor...

I can't remember, I would have posted it back in this thread but I don't have time to check... I want to say $225 for both the front and rear. Front was an absolute perfect match and the rear was a tiny tiny bit off but you had to be looking for it.

I have heard the same - but it think it depends on where you're welding...

but this is precisely why I emailed SAIT yesterday... to see about an evening welding class (or recommendations as to whom would offer one)

oh come on - you cannot be serious!?

if the cobalt is like every other GM made for the last twenty-some-ood years, there's a little rivet holding the lock cylinder in place - pop the rivet then the locking mechanism that holds the cylinder in place can be removed...

(admittedly I haven't looked at my trunk to verify this though)

why do people have to buy these gadgets?

Places like Autovalue can scan your car for free (just ask Steve - he should know) ~ or you can buck up and get the legit scanner for about $100...

Or you can just call me up to scan your car like Graham does

Thanks for the reply...
I got my car booked in for an alignment tomorrow, I'm crossing my fingers I didn't break or bend anything...
I look into it further this evening (I haven't had supper yet) and I did see that my spindle shifted in the strut ~ I moved it back, but the alignment is still goobered...
on the positive side I "cleaned" up the rim so that most people probably wouldn't even notice anything...

I am thinking of getting this other lip painted*... gotta put this other hulk of the other car to some use

I can sometimes be such a tool.

* = but at the same time I could just get the lip & bumper cover painted... then there's that spoilerless trunk lid I have in the basement... oh, where is that winning lottery ticket? ~ I could so use the money (to waste) and spread around a little...

You be a tool??? No come on man! Lol

Steve has my scanner and I think they are talking more about reading parameters than codes

nothings solid for me unless someone gives me a real reason to be somewhere...

well, I don't know how active your dating life or what not it... but it's my life experience that tells me I have a more open schedule than many...
spouses or significant others seem to louse up one's ability to be terribly spontaneous...

That's the one!

Admittedly I forgot about it till I received an email...

it's always the first Friday during Stampede (aka: a good excuse to get out of town!)

@ Jordan;
You suck!







na, just kidding you're ok in my books...

Could you do me a small favor though - can you pleas email them to let them know you're not making it incase they are capping the number of registrants (I think this is the case).

Are you saying that I'm not dating material Jonathan??? Hahaha and even when I was dating/seeing someone I usually went somewhere or did things simply because I felt the urge.

Now that might be one of the many reasons why I'm still single but meh. It's not my loss!!! Lol

I'm still working Friday ~ but I'm not even sure I'm going yet..
I was going to wait till tomorrow to decide...
If I would go to Lethbridge it would only be for Friday night... I'd be back Saturday ~ afternoon at the latest.

I wasn't certain you wanted to meet this weekend;
How's this -> I'll put you at the top of my priority list.
Tell me what works best for you and I'll accommodate that.

See what an open schedule does

Not at all... just not being presumptuous...

Last thing I need is a guy in a ten gallon hat wanting to kick my a$s...

I think that's the funniest thing out of you... in a good while!

I believe that Vince needs to send me a definition file which is semi-specific to the vehicle to datalog - my tuner has provisions for it though...

I can do a copy to my laptop of the tune you're running right now - then I'll have three run files for you;
1) stock GM tune for your car
2) ZZP tune you're currently running
3) Trifecta tune for your car
