Ksport also make a lowering spring that drop the cobalt as much as the sportlines. Stay away from ksport coilovers. They have failed on a few members cars.

Finally got my tail lights done Three coats of tint, wet sand, clear, wet sand, clear and then polished them with the head light restoration kit Napa sells. Just skipped the two first steps of sanding. Use the touch up wheel and polish in the kit and they came out great. I'm installing them tomorrow at work over lunch since all my tools are there lol. I'll get some pics when I put them in.

if it wasn't for the fact that NSRT4's aren't sold anymore and most used ones have the **** beat out of them i would have bought one before the balt... but i needed the warranty... and well the NLS and launch control are cool too

i had more hp then him but he has way more torque then i did and thats what matters. Also my balt was my first car that was manual so i learned how to drive stick with that and trust me, i burned the clutch alot! and then dragged race every friday for 4 months straight. And it was 87,000km not 85,000km hunny.

i'm pretty sure i can give him a run for his money... he does have alot more mods than me so if i am at least able to keep up if not beat him it'd be nice. i should be comparable to hm in numbers with just the stage 1 flashed. i raced a stage 2 NSRT4 with a small boost leak and kept up with him no problem and i was only stock. but we will see.. i haven't drag raced the cobalt before... it's all roll races on the highway for me... i probably need a driver mod lol

See thats what i think is gay..."roll racing" even if u get ahead of the person u didnt "beat" them or "win" Your just showing which car has more power. Drag racing from a dig or even street racing from a dig is where the skill comes into play. You have to master the launching, if u dont master that u wont win. I'll admit, im not the best person at launching. But at least i can say i race and can say i beat a car. Everything comes into play when its from a dig. Hell i even beat a 480whp mustang saleen because the guy missed 2nd gear.

On another note, just cleaned my car, still need to do the interior. I'll take some pictures in a little while. Thought it would be nice to have it nice and clean for the dealership. My baby is going in to get its first issues sorted out. Driver side speaker is crackling and my climate controls seem to be messing around every once in awhile.
