I'm not sure where you would find a set in/around Regina. I would post a Kijiji ad or Used Regina ad and see what you get.

 

yeah thats a good idea, is anyone doing any winter builds on their balts this year?

 

Don't know about balt owners but some RL owners might be swapping heads and doing brembo's. Changing IC setups and such.

 

Cool. I know my buddy ryan is doing coilovers and wheels on his cobalt. And I have a pretty big build going on this winter. Once its all built up we need to all get together for a meet

 

I'm not doing a crazy build or anything. Finishing up the full 3" exhaust, probably Powell CAB's and harness bar, a few apperance things and then a single pass ported intake mainfold and hopefully a custom cooler for the intercooling system.

 

nice, i have a zzp front mount intercooler, zzp ecotec cams with sprigs lifters and valves, portedand polished head, an aem waermeth kit, custom intake manifold, equal length turbo manifold, manual boost controller, dejon powerhouse evo big 16g turbo thats ported and clipped, a tial 34mm wastegate and an ssqv, and then a spec stage 4 clutch and custom axles

 

That's quite a bit of work ahead of you over the winter. Sounds like an interesting build!

 

Yeah its gonna be a lot of work but i have 6 months of downtime until i can drive my car so it will be an enjoyable winter. and i cant wait to see the look on peoples faces when they get roasted by a cobalt

 

Holy that is a ton of work. We definitely need to have a meet or something next year so I can check that out.

 

yeah deffinatley, im usually out and about in the summer time, i drive the red ss/tc with halos and black stock wheels with the loud exhaust

 

Interested in a Fidanza lightweight flywheel? Have a new in box one I'll part with for $250.

 

yeah for sure, pm me and we can talk some more about it

 

Hey guys, just throwing this out there...

I sold my SS SC in March, but still have the stock springs from it. If anyone with an LS or LT is looking for a stiffer, better handling ride, let me know. I'm looking to get $50 obo. I believe they also lower the car 1 - 1.5".

 

Hey guys, got myself a cobalt a few months back and didn't realize there was a thread like this around. I'm a vr '06 SSNA. Also, anyone know what a good shop for minor body and paint work is? My car's in shambles, and I'm gonna need to give it some TLC and a few new parts to get it back into shape.

 

Taylor Toyota in Moose Jaw did a pretty good job on my brothers car. That is pretty well my only direct experience with shops around Regina.

Some others may pipe up though.

 

Eh, anything local? I had someone suggest the SIAST AB shop class, but after I saw that Solstice.... [shudder]

Also, I wondered why the HIDs this guy had were so dim, pulled them out and found they were blue-painted sylvanias. Quality. Think I'mma ditch his flowmaster system too, maybe.

 

Yeah... the first tip off that they werent HIDs should have been no extra wiring harness or ballasts. I don't reccomend running HIDs in the stock reflector housings anyways.

 

Dammit, someone teach me how to drive! I set off my clutch code again. My standard-noobiness is showing.

 

Clutch code? Not sure I've seen that before.

 

It showed up when I saved from a stall, and it's recurred every so often ever since. The mechanic took a ride with a tech-II hooked up and said I ride the clutch too much. Dammit, why don't they put lights in at Ross and Sioux?

 

Oh ok, that makes sense. I'm still a little confused on why that situation would throw a code. Driving a manual takes practice and each car is different. These cars (and I can only speak frome experiance of driving an SS/SC) is that these clutches are very much on/off and have a very small engagement point which makes them a little challenging to drive. Riding the clutch can be a bit of an issue with newer divers to manuals with these cars I find as its not the smoothest transition from partially engaged to fully engaged.

 

What can I say? Computers are finicky, also they hate me.

 

Got my exhaust installed. I am liking it so far! I wasn't thinking I'd still be able to drive the car this late in the year but the roads are dry and clear!

Nice sound.

Where is that road though? It looks really nice.

 

It's in Moose Jaw. It doesn't go for very far... well the vid actually shows all of that road pretty well.
