I thought u were maybe just buying it to fix the problem on the car now..if not I'm bad:P

 

Just ordered a set of Hawk HPS pads (Front/Rear). Couldn't pass up the price of under $200 shipped here. Hopefully they'll cut back on my squeal and brake dust, and grab more then the stock ones.

 

Ordered Golden Eagle rods then received a call the next day saying they were unavailable haha. So now I've got a set of special order Pauter connecting rods on order as well as a Snow Methanol Injection kit in the mail.

Still need:
ZZP twin charge(may wait till 2011)
Sleeves
Pistons
ARP Rods and crank bearings
ARP Rod bolts and headstuds
Cometic headgasket
Valves and valve springs(still undecided on brand)
Lots of other stuff lol

The block will be shipped to Armstrong's this fall when the car goes in for storage and the head is going to TK cylinder heads in Blackrock for P&P... As well my hood will be going for paint due to rock chips

 

thought u were selling?

 

No bites on it and I'm making real good money now so the car stays.

 

Lol.... Did you win the lotto or something.

 

nah, got a raise and can literally put in as many hours as I want. Lol I've put 38 hours in since Friday. 12 Saturday, 12 Sunday and 14 yesterday.

 

wish I could do that lol....any overtime hours I put in only count towards time off....8hrs overtime=Day off. I'd rather the money.

 

Me to, when we get over 120hours in 2 weeks they charge 120 in NS hours and the rest in NB hours. sucks! no overtime at all

 

Had my exhaust, downpipe and springs installed last night. Stu helped out and did a great job! Thanks so much, even for fixing up my brakes!

Wow i love the sound with the res delete. I'll try and get some videos up later today once i get it washed up a bit. Its not too loud when you're just cruising, but when you get on it, it sounds GREAT!

Thanks Stu!

 

 

cool man! wish i had a DP :/

 

Lol.... I just wanna get mine fixed. Hopefully tomorrow is the day.

 

goodluck!!!

 

No luck yet..... The dealer won't take anything apart to look at anything...... They said if they did and it wasn't the issue, I would have to pay.... I'm heading down to the dealer in digby Thursday to see if they might find something... If they don't, I'm gonna tare sone **** apart to see if I can find anything. If I don't find anything, I'm gonna see if Taylor made can test the whole turbo system.

 

Sorry if I missed it, but what exactly is your car doing?

 

something about his bypass valve fluttering on his turbo cobalt

 

I got teh parts.
Thats whast up.

 

Melted the ring lands on piston #4.. 77lbs on a compression test. Goes to GM Monday morning for warranty.

 

I think you'll find that you will have a hole in the top of the piston

 

There's a much better chance it's ring lands.. We did a compression test once and it showed 77psi then I poured a teaspoon of oil into the cylinder and did a compression test again, this time it read 129psi. The oil helps rule out the possibility of it being a head problem or hole in the piston. It basically pools around the edge of the piston and acts like a seal for a brief moment. Leading me to believe it's a ring land. I guess I'll find out when they pull it.

 

in the process of wet sanding and buffing/waxing the ol cobalt.... looks glassy.. i wish i had 3000grit to get the lil scrathes out lol.. put 6 hrs in monday and tuesday... havent had the chance to do anymore since then.. only got the hood,doors,roof, fenders, and front bumper left lmao.. and got fix a spot on the rear bumper

 

Well i did some buying for next year today... picked up a set of 17 inch Drag DR33 wheels off Discount Tire today...Getting ready for winter early, with this weather we've been having, seems like it'll be soon...

 

Good luck with that, don't think I'm gonna be driving mine this winter.

 

I'd rather not pay for something and have it sit, just a waste.

It's a cobalt, it'll be fine in the winter lol..
