post 23 FTW i lost it ... lmao!

 

x2 that **** is funny!

 

BITCH FEST!!! i wanna read i wanna read. come on guys keep it going buahahahaha

 

Heres a update:

Well today i took the winter beater in for its MVI, sure enough it failed meh oh well only needs a rocker fixed a little and back it goes, so that should be tomorrow.
anyways...
Today after my mvi i started the car, it is now sleeping for the winter, the roads are to cold and i cant keep traction so instead of risking the car i thought might as well start early this year sense theres alot going on!
i started with unbolting everything from the motor marking and unplugging the wireing harness and odds and ends like that.
tomorrow im gonna gut the interor and get it ready for hush mat and a 10 point cage.

heres some pics.

 

wtf do you need a ten point cage for? 217whp?

 

Leaves him room to grow. Why would you wanna make your car fast and THEN worry about safety? He's putting in the safety early, props to him IMO. There was so much bad luck with fires and accidents over the past year I don't blame him for putting a cage in. I assume he'll be putting a fire extinguisher in as well. Looking good Chris, can't wait to see what kind of numbers it puts down in the spring.

 

...lol poor car

 

are you going to lower it soon?

 

Your right, i do have a fire extinguisher in my car, i bought one after my buddy cranny's car caught fire.
the reason why i am putting the cage in is because i have onelast bill to pay then im getting a new turbo manifold with a T4 flange and and PT62 or PT67 turbo
plus the way i look at it having a full cage will help if i do roll it or anything, sense i did fix the hole front end once.

Yes sir, i have paid for them but Stance did a recall on their coilovers because to many people were complaining about the fact lowering springs went lower then coilovers so i am waiting on their second generation ones to come out witch should be this or next month

 

That good to hear, will look good when lowered

 

Chris here is a good question, do you plan on racing this car? Seems like everyone mods there cars in NS for no reason...no one races except for a few people...i was the same way...modded my car and didnt race cuz it was to ******* far. But you put all that money in the car while i was living in NS and you only raced once or twice in PEI.

I just think its pointless imo....hence why im registering for racing school for my bike...building the damn thing to be a monster and i dont want it just sitting in my parking lot..lol

 

I love racing my Cobalt thats what I bought it for.

 

I plan on racing my car some day, but i just like to mod it so see how much i can get out of it, hp wise....Right now i have the most modded ss/tc in nova scotia, performance wise. As far as i know. Thats also the fun of it

 

Thanks, it was lowered on eibach springs, glad i got rid of them after seeing what happened to somone else...

I would of raced it alot more but because of the second gear going i didnt bother.
this summer yes i will if everything works out.

you and stu are right up there, as well as kole, he purchased the stage 2 kit from forbes, and andrew got it priced up for himself too..

 

besides that "victory red" project im pretty sure i had the most modded ss/sc in canada for performance wise :P

 

thats a pretty broad statement! haha

 

i know...haha. Well the only bolt on i didnt have was the dual pass endplate. Pretty damn sure i was the only one with the TVS. And yet i was still pretty close to the slowest cobalt at the track during the meet....man i suck at launching.

 

Well today i started with the interior, got priced up a 10 point cage $249.99 really impressed with that price actually. gonna order it here really soon as well as hush mat.
heres some pics of todays gutting







Tomorrow will be the removale of the carpet, and other odds and ends inside the car, then moving to the front again withthe harness.

any tips on removing the harness would be GREAT!

 

UPDATED:
Today i started late got out around 12ish and had a few friends end up coming over and allt hey wanted to do was chat not help so it costed me alot of time.
today i finished gutting what i think should come out from the interior, and guted more from under the hood.
can ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO REMOVE T HE FUEL RAIL? AND THAT DAMN FUSE BOX

anyways heres some pics.

 

how the hell you plan on taking it to get painted????im guessing flat bed

 

Looks like those are the same connectors that are on the ss/sc rails. You will need 1 or 2 people to help you and 4 small flat had screw drivers. If you flip your fuel rail around and look at the connector on the end of your rail, There first should be a safety pin or something...take that off, then there is 4 detend pieces...you have to have all 4 pieces pushed in and then the fuel rail will come off. Its a PITA. When i busted my fuel rail and had to change to a Redline rail *same type* I got 2 of my buddies to give me a hand and it took us a few mins to do.

On another note, whats the weather like there chris? I tried doing some tuning to my bike today but its to ******* cold to test it...almost slammed into a women because my back tire was so cold, it locked up and got no traction at all...ended up stopping right next to her door..lol

 

Ugh!!! i seen that too and didnt wanna frig around with them! this sucks, oh well we will see.
weather is getting cold its between plus 2-10 most days.
snow a few times. nothing serious

my little brother got a car trailor now so we will end up using that

 

Once you realise what you have to do it will be easy, just a PITA trying to figure it out.

 

what color are you painting it???

 

Not sure, was gonna go tanyellow orange, but for the right color of tangyellow you must buy it from house of kolor and when i called they quoted me $5,000 on paint, because its a quad coat, theres 4 different layers of paint.
once told my buddy who is able to mix paint at his work, he said leave it with me, i will make a color u will LOVE so im waiting on him to see what he makes me. lol
