Suck it ****

 

hahah come on jordan. don't be scared to drive it. heck what are you driving for the winter. i wish i had a different vehicle for winter but hell last year i had a good time in the balt in snow. and this year i got winter rubber. well i'll be around next summer too. but i can;t see much happening to the car by then. I think most of money is going towards a down pymt for a house.

 

I bought a 93 ford topaz and it is in pretty good shape, really clean so yeh im parking my balt for the winter becuase i drive from Lacombe to red deer everyday for college and the sand and salt beats the **** out of the front of my car. I sold my winter rubber and rims so I made a lot of money there to mod my baby. So when I pull it out it should have some good work done on it, be afraid!!! just kidding but i am goign to sink some more coin it to her

 

what are your plans jordan, do share. what did u sell your rims and tires for?

 

i boought them for 950 and i sold them for 750... so not too bad

 

make sure to put a cover on it. If it gets dusty then gets moist out it really sucks to wash after its sat on there for 6 months.

 

So i havn't been on here in a while cause i sold my old cobalt about a year ago and bought a fairlady 300zx and then a f150 and now im happy to announce i bought a 2005 cobalt ss/sc so i guess im back haha

 

thats good dude nice to see that your back to the balt!!! Yeh Rob for christmas last year i got a califonia custom car cover so that will me on it for the winter. Anyt tips on the gas??? Stabilizer? run it at all during the winter???

 

stabilizer for sure, run it till it gets to normal temps once a month. did you find a place to store it yet?

 

yeh i'm pretty sure I have a fairly good place, but I fuckign looked for that car cover my dad bought me for christmas last year, the Califonia one that fits my car.... your remeber anyways after looking for it for ******* ever I found it so thats sweet! I trying to figure out what i want to do to my car over the winter so it has some new goodies next summer. Haha I like the idea of the TVS but that too much and dont know if it is the best idea.... but yeh have to figure something out

 

sweet deal man. Yeah like dom said use stabilizer and run it every 2-4 weeks. Wouldnt hurt to take it for a drive on a nice dry and dusty day too.


TVS would be sweet, but I priced it out once and if you want like 350-400 whp (like they say you can get) safely, then it would end up costing like 6000 - 8000 dollars. Thats including the blower, tuning, and supporting mods.

 

Yeh i dont know like in order support a TVS blower there is alot of supoporting mods and im sure stock internals are not going to hold up for long haha. So really im not too sure where to go from here. Figure it out over the winter i guess.

 

What color did you get?

 

Carefull that no one talks to much!!!!

 

....














made you look

 

**** you Dom haha... well this is bull **** no one is even on here anymore. But anyhow im getting my tires on the winter beater tomorrow morning and then switching insurance off of my baby. So until next spring she is parked!!!

 

Haha. I seen the dots and was like " ooo I wonder what's next "

 

now we need to get you a meth injection kit and get that thing tuned

 

Yeh well my baby is parked and im now driving my other car and im sad . You reall dont relize how much you love the damb thing until it is gone!!! ohh well i guess it was my choice

 

Methanol Injection is not the best thing for Roots Supercharged cars unless you spray after the blower. They are more suited for Centrifugal Blowers or Turbo Cars.

It will eventually eat away at the coating on your rotors. You are better off spraying a small shot of nitrous.

 

i didn't know that. what type of coating is on the rotors?

 

How come there are hundreds of people here on the thread running meth inj. along with a dual pass and option B.? I betcha it isnt becuase they are stupid!!!

 

Im not denying that it doesnt work. Ive just heard it works better on Centrifugal Superchargers (Procharger, Vortech, Paxton) and Turbo Cars.

Think about it for a second. You buy good gasoline (Shell, Esso, etc) that has all the additives to keep water from forming and going into your engine.

Now you add a Methanol Kit and are spraying a 50/50 mix into your engine...50% water. I dont get why anyone would want to spray a water mix into their cars. I know some Terminator guys in the states have had success with it, but their gains have been after they modified their lower intake to spray into the intercooler.

Couple guys said it can burn up intake/exhaust valves quicker, others have said Methanol is not safe for aluminum, and the afore mentioned coating on the rotors. Also, you run the chance of having a faulty pump, or running out of fluid.

In my eyes, its not worth it for me to spend the $500 on maybe 20hp? You guys are better off sending your Supercharger to Bob Stiegemeier to have it ported. You will see lower intake air temps and more efficient boost.

 

i wont be using the meth injection for HP gains, instead as a combustion cooling agent. the mazda direct injection engines are also remarkably dirty in their cylinder heads, and meth injection has a side effect of keeping your valves nice and clean. i can see the ss/tc guys running into the same problems mazda's are right now. once you get to a certain mod level, you get uneven piston heating/cooling that can seize the wrist pin in the rod/piston. so far our best way to avoid this is meth/water injection. it doesnt seem like a bad idea for anyone else though right? just a royal pain in the ass for you supercharged guys.

methanol will actually prevent corrosion from forming on aluminium parts. your coating on the rotors however, i'm not sure. so long as you don't cheap on your injection controller, and your not tuned to run methanol full time, a bad pump or low level shutdown isnt an issue(unless your WOT 4th gear on the strip. then you might be in trouble)

 

What do you guys think of the SRT8 Jeep Grand Cherokee??
