Haha.... I'm only an hour away from Hali

 

Cool - we might be moving there in September. And we're usually down there 2 or 3 times per summer to go visit family.

 

so your driving your car now jerren??, took mine for a run yesterday when i went home to get the rest of my **** man!!! alot faster then a automatic neon....lol

 

Lol.... Just got my stage 1 kit installed...$190 out the door for installation....


All I have to say is holy torque batman.

 

Well..... Last night I blew my lower chargepipe off the throttle body and had to limp the car home..... Hopefully I can get it back on tonight after work......

That was quite the experience......

 

lol too much boost batman

Hope you got her all fixed up and nothing else was damaged.

 

Ok I got the charge pipe fixed....it wasn't easy. I took that shitty hose clamp off and put a tbolt clamp in it's place.....hopefully that will hold it on....

Yea hoo

 

Jerren, how do you like the GMS1? What numbers are you seeing for boost with being fully bolted?

 

I love the kit.... Really haven't had a chance to drive it because on my way home I blew off the lower charge pipe.... Just got it fixed tonight and scared to test it lol.... Second gear is a right off. I think I was seeing 140-150kpa

 

Well tomorrow ill have my progress of my trunk set up. I got home today at 3:30 and started cutting the wood and getting the subs hooked up.

 

well going to order new tires today, since my stockers are pretty much shot.....Im going with maxxis ma-z1 victra (same as i had on my car. Just debating on whether or not to go with the 225/40r18 or a 235/40r18.......hmmmmmm Decisions decisions

 

jesus jerren, what do u do to your tires? You didnt have that car for very long and you dont use it in the winter. **** i do burn outs every run on the track, every friday and then do burnouts when im pissed when i drive on the streets and my tires still look new.

 

the stock tires are garbage..... i dunno what happens to them......Im pretty sure its a little thing called torque.....which is something your not used to......ahahahahahaha

But seriously....I have 11,500 km on the car and the tires are shot. The same thing with the tires on stu's car

 

Well at least my torque is in the save limit, **** u didnt even get to drive very far and your car blew up, lmao. A guy is running 13psi with twin turbo, 581rwhp 550lb torque...nothing gone wrong yet and he has been driving hard all last summer, lets see a cobalt do that.

 

My car didn't blow up.... The tech didn't tighten the clamp on the lower charge pipe.... Therfore it's not my fault. And honestly.... I wouldn't want to be in a cobalt that that much power. That my friend would be pointless.

Ok.... Just ordered the tires in a 225/40/18.... As well as a k&n filter to complete the air box mod.....

 

Well i gave up on the subs, theres to many curvs and **** below my trunk where the spare tire would be. Where the box would be for the subs is a bumb where the body of the car is so i tried moving the subs in towards each other. But that leaves me no room for the nitrous tank, so i said **** that, tried something else. But the damn piece that comes out of the floor that the bar screws into to hold the sub and spare tire in place is making it hard. So im just going to sell the subs, wires and amp and stick with the stock system. I paid $1300 for everything, hoping i can get at least $500 for it.

 

I heard the stock continentals from the TCs are garbage, but damn Jerren... not even 15K and you need new tires. that's retarded

 

Yup..... I probably could get another 2-3 k out of them but I don't feel safe driving on them

 

i need tires too *sigh*

 

*cough* tirerack *cough*

 

Tire rack is too expensive by the time you pay duty and stuff.... You better off to get them around here.

 

Discount Tire is the way to go in the maritimes. I buy all my tires from them. usually around 700 for a set.

I made it to 15k on the stockers lol. but they were all down a little past the wear marks. I had alot of autox events on them though. But still they suck.

Tires for Cobalt SS
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...&fcb=&sw=false

It is a flat rate of 160$ for the border fees. Shipping is free. You dont get any hidden costs on arrival eithor.

With the strength of our dollar you can walk away with 4 tires for 600$.

I have not found anywhere locally that can do that.

I will be purchasing the Falken Azenis RT-615 very soon. for a little over 700.

 

nice Aaron, thanks for the site! My tires are still good for 1 if not 2 summers, but never too early to shop

 

Sorry for the thread jack but do you guys know of a mobile dyno that comes around NS during the summer? I think they might of had one at a dealership last year, not sure where tho.

 

theres a mobile dyno that is in halifax year round. Look up Raven Autosports, its just off of Chain Lake Drive.
