Well winter is here and its time to work on the car, tomorrow Saturday the 17th i am leaving to go ont he lowmotion fall cruise and then sunday is the big tare down.

Second up my new 18" rims
they are Enkei ZR 18" rims they weigh in at 8 pounds a wheel
they are $700 a wheel new from what i was told and thats with out the center caps.
they also have enkei valve steams lol.



Unfortunitly the rims will be on the car for the cruise so its technicaly something done this season lol.oh well

Let me know what ya all think

 

looks sweet, but i dont believe those wheels weight 8lbs for one minute! Whoever told you that was full of bs......

 

nice rims man im doing my stock ss sc one gunmteal black

 

The enkei RPF-1's i was gonna buy weigh 6lbs if you buy them in the 15" model, and the 19" are 8pounds, these wheels with air and weights and tires weigh in at 17pounds.

The enkei RPF-1's i was gonna buy weigh 6lbs if you buy them in the 15" model, and the 19" are 8pounds, these wheels with air and weights and tires weigh in at 20 some pounds.

Enkei makes one of the lightest wheels out there as well

 

lol they're enkei zr2's they're like 210 a piece and weigh 19.6 pounds, you got ripped

 

Nice not to bad, you going on the cruise tomorrow?

 

cant man i gotta work till 4

 

i might of been wrong on the weight, but the price i know is right, because i looked the price up at a few different places,
$210 USD for them might be right.
i didnt buy them new i bought them for $400 all 4 with center caps and valve steams and 2 new tires and 2 bald tires

Shitty deal!!! gonna be atlease 100 cars or more there.
both james and andy going with the sunfire and cavi, fraser going witht he s2000, benny with the civ, danny, troy, joey, rushton, all them awesome cars!

 

2.2 or 2.4?

 

mines a 2.2

 

The rims are cool and much luck with your winter project ....but , you are seriously wrong on the wheel weight Not sure on the wheels you have , but RPF1's are starting at 9 lbs up to 15 lbs for a 15" and the lightest 19" is 19 lbs . Once u get to a 19x10 its 21 lbs . Psssst ...enkei's are not the lightest out there They do have some of the more reasonably priced light wheels though in their racing series .

 

like your black rims better and black looks better on your car then silver will i say paint em gloss black

 

how was the cruse chris

 

Well the cars being painted this winter, iw as gonna strip it today but i dont feel like it now lol.
crusie was awesome i posted pics, man u missed out on some crazy f'in rides! james and the supra raced on the way back james WALKED all over it!
great time i tell ya what, glad i wasnt the only domestic there tho.
heres picsof the car with the wheels on




Can you say super 4x4 now lol

 

dammm man i wish i could of got work off to go to it o well next seaon lol then ill have some more mods done :P

 

ya hopefully next season i will stick with the guys lol

 

lol same here i only plan on getting a stage 2 kit really

 

save the money and get somethign worth it, get the twin charge kit.
i raced a blue cobalt in sackville on the highway before that claimed it has stage 3 and walked over it, same with a stage 2.
they are not worth the money the stage 2 kits, im my eyes

 

Chris i dont mean to start **** again...but knock it off with the "beating stage 3 and 2 crap"....Dezzie is looking for info on what to do to his car and you are feeding him false info. Now if you are talking about gm stage 2, yes ill agree...those are crap. But if you are talking Cobalt Addictions Stage 2 or making your own "stage 2" then that is a different story. Look at my car for example...i had 2.8" pulley and 60 injectors with a CAI...i made 230whp off of meth and 245 on meth with a really fucked up tune. And you never accepted my challenge to race so you cant say they are garbage.

Like i said, i dont mean to start **** but i hate when someone feeds a person that is looking for info, false info. I'll also agree that the twin charge kit is better then stage 2 but do you really wanna spend that much money on a DD 4 banger cobalt?

 

the only info i will give anyone is dont worry about your hp it does nothing.
worry about ur tq, tq s what gets u down the track.
the reason why i didnt race u damien was because i got a strick racing ticket, and was telling u to go to the track and we can do it there, i would of gladly raced ya there.
**** it, bring the 370 next year and i will run ya. :P
and reason why i hate on the stage 2 so much is because both you and chad, justin, and a few other had it. chad changed his alot, you kinda upgraded from it from the start and justin sold his and is doing a turbo swap, chad with the stage wtf made 222hp and u i think 180tq u with your custom stage 2 was 249 i think and 219tq

 

yea that was my numbers but it was on a really bad tuned. The guy that tuned me up here couldnt even believe how my car was running, yet doing WOT pulls. If i kept the same setup i had down there which was 2.8/60/meth/he/cai...and just let the guy tune me i would have had about 255-260whp and about 230-235tq. Which is pretty good considering stock to the wheels th ss/sc makes about 190-200hp and 180-190tq

 

Jesus, you fail so bad. hp does nothing? really???? you do realize hp is a computation of torque right? therefore you cant have one that means nothing and one that does. are you seriously trying to say rpf1's weigh 6 lbs for a 15 and 8 for a 19? you are an idiot man.

Wrong. Hosepower means a lot. Although torque does get your off line, horsepower is what keeps you moving down the track.

Take a stock LS1 vs LT1. LT1 gets you to the 300 ft mark faster but the horsepower of the LS1 will destroy it the rest of the way.

 

i aint hating chris but i bought a supercharged for a reason if i wanted the twin charge i would of got trubo. and im styaing away from GM stage 2 ill be getting OTTP kit if anythign
