I love surprise buttsecks!

 

Who doesn't.

 

Hahaha

 

Ahhhh stupid passenger side axle. Gtfo!!! On a side note coilovers are very easy to install.

 

Ughh... open up the Kia forum and the first post I say is "I beat a Cobalt SS! (Supercharged!!!)"

The point of buying this car is that they'd be less phaggy than the morons on 8thCivic. Apparently not.

 

Are the fortes even quick?

 

Oh and thanks for the advice Joel and tejay. I got that axle out. It only took a torch some antiseize and a hammer to get it out and like an hour and a bit of my time haha.

Dual pass and option b went on today. I just wish my intercooler pump worked so I could see the benefit of it...

 

did u get the axle out.

what do u all have installed?

 

Coilovers and axles went on yesterday and I installed a dual pass and option b today. I honestly can't believe how easy the coilovers were to install. the meth and TVS will go in some time this week depending on if I can find my stock belt. Otherwise I'll still install the TVS but with the 2.9 and baby the crap out of it until I get the tune on hopefully next weekend

 

U can run stage 2 belt with stock pulley

 

Damn! I would have installed it today had i known that. O well it's not hard to swap superchargers

 

Nooo fastest is their 2.4 which is about the same as our 2.4, 170 hp/160 tq or so... car is a bit lighter and has nice gearing with the 6-spd so it might be a tenth quicker, so maybe 15.3-15.4 with a good driver.

 

did you trade the cobalt in broken then? or do u still have it

 

He sold it

 

so let me tell you guys, deer on highway 1A are suicidal

 

Don't tell me one jumped infront of it

 

It's fixed, I still have it.

 

oh it sure did

 

I thought you sold it????

 

Don't recall saying I did.

 

I think you said it was sad to see it drive away.

But whatever. I need something to do today

 

Joel said that when I drove away with his.

I did say I was done with Cobalts but I need it for work so it's looking like I'll have it till Thursday afternoon, and probably longer. First payment on the Forte isn't due till October.

 

too funny.

they look heavier than C-SS/2.4;
and generally the six speeds offered for FWD cars have more parasitic power loss because of the extra rotational weight...

 

I'm not getting a 2.4 so I couldn't even race an SS to find out.

 

ordered my new exhaust for my truck!
