Not a huge update or nothing but here you go.

Yesterday i took the day off from working on it, had the gf over and was getting her and my self readyf or halloween.
today i started to remove the harness completely from the car after reading this morning a reply from damien on how to remove the fuse box.
so i did that and heres some pics.






Tomorrow if the day is nice i am going to remove the fenders and do some painting in the wheel wells might try to remove the fuel rail but we will see.

Does anyone know if there is a after market fuel rail out there that will take a -nan fitting? i would like to make full stainles steel braided lines from gas tank forward into a nice fuel rail, i dont think its possible with this one.

 

now that you got that torn apart...it looks more and more like a 2.0L SS/SC engine bay.

 

Not Really a Huge update again.
but here we go.
the motor is ready to be pulled.
today i removed all hoses, the A/C lines, the turbo, the down pipe, my manual boos controller and other little odds and ends.
heres a pick fo the engine bay, i would really love it if when im done everything it looks like this as well.

 

Little update.
Well today i pulled my motor.
i have no pics as of right now, got everything off and what do you know..
my clutch is fucked, my presure plate is fucked and my flywheel is fucked!
spent $1,000 of a clutch that didnt hold. slipped 3rd all the time then got real bad and slipped 1st and 2nd.
contacted clutch masters and they want pics of it.
tomorrow i plant to put the interior back in the car too, im not working so i figure i wont be gettin the roll cage right now, more worried about the motor and trany and clutch...
Also came across something that really disapointed me!
y turbo manifold is cracked.. that didnt last long now did it?
anyone know if theres any other companys other then ZZP and Volcan who makes turbo manifolds?

Pics Tomorrow.

 

that would explain why your boost was fluctuation a bit.......

 

Why don't you see if Jeff can weld you something up for a mani?

 

yup wait till you see these pics! i dont have none of the mani yet but i will

whos jeff??

Early afternoon update

well i took the pics of the clutch and sent them off to clutch masters and lets see what they say about it.
the clutch flywheel and pressure plate has about 12,000KMs on it and they are FUCKED!
here you go some pics, i am going outside in a min too so more later.








Mid After Noon Update:

Well like i said i put the interior back into the car well just the capret for now, just incase i do get a job and money starts flowing in then i can buy a cage and hush mat
heres some pics.

Everything Piled on the floor:



Cleaned the carpet before putting back in, i find that when i clean it the dirt comes out even more and shows more


Engine Bay


All My Goodies Chilling



Found some rust needed to fix that!


(i primed the bare metal using etching primer)


Carpet in

 

looks like your making good progress any how pykie....I just recieved my 600hp garrett core intercooler today..Cant wait to put it on, its a huge bitch lol....

 

Jeff... aka Cranny? I saw the mani he built just playing around for Mcneil's car. He might be able to make something for you.

 

Whats the width on it? 3"??
mines a 3" core and its rated at 1,000hp. i will never see that lol ever!

Pretty sure that mcneil welded that, but even then thats a mig welder, was was used to weld mine was a tig, i think tig welding is stronger.
where it cracked at was where the turbo plate was welded in.... i guess little stress cracks.

 

yeah the core dimensions are 28.5x3x8

 

Long not very tall tho, but i would imagine that intercooler is made for your car?
mines 28.5 long, 13 tall and 3 thick

 

yup its made especially for my car by synapse turbo......$550 later lol....Ill get pics up when the gf gets home with the camera

 

sounds good

 

Well some bad news!
my parents broke up so ***** been fallin apart in my house hold, my gf just bought me a ball python for x mas and my brothers gf told my parents and now im kicked out, i spent all day in the snow storm or of what we had today putting the interior back in it and ****, tomorrow im callin around and getting a tranny, im gonna see if clutch masters can get my disc sent to me asap so i can put the motor and everything back in. looks like rods and pistons will not happen this year and im not happy about that.
i had lots of plans for it.
i guess now that its not happening i will share with you all what was happening.
i found my self a smashed 05 ss s/c i was taking the body kit off it, the 5 lug conversion, the supercharger and other ods and ends from it too.
i was gonna twin charge my car run LS2 edit for tunning and paint the car an orange. would of looked something like this pic attached
if i get a place to live thats Dog, Cat, and snake friendly and i get a decent job this winter i will have this car done. but time will tell as of right now.

how the hell are you getting all that out of a "smashed" balt lol

 

it was rolled, the car is completely fixed minus the new roof needed to be tacked in place.

 

Sorry to hear about the rents Pykie, thats never fun to go through.

 

thanks. and yes your right it sucks!

Time for an update.
Well after some talking to the old man he changed his mind about kicking me out.
i also just got myself a new job for the time being.
i just picked up my new transmition today its litterly brand new, the car it cam out of had 5,330kms on it and it was a 07 as well.
i also just bought and received my new short shifter kit from TWM Performance, its a short shifter with aliminum bushings, and came with an ITR shift knob
also today i purchased my new Stance Coilvers, these are a full coilover! hoping to get the car sitting on the ground!
yesterday Sunday dec 13th i sold my old bodykit to a feller with a G5, witch benifted me too because he needs a trunk lid witch im selling him mine, and he needs tail lights, so im getting rid of the LED tails i have and putting my stock ones back in.
i Should be getting my new body kit either today or tomorrow as well.
and last! i ust ordered a tuning softwear for my car.
this is from the same guy who tuned it last time from californa, he just produced a tuning softwear thats alot like HP Tuners and im hoping to get the car off to JD Racing for the tuning to be done
FINNALY Tomorrow im gonna start the strip down on the head of my motor, gotta contact GM to see how to remove the head with out messing up the head.
and then the motor will be gone down to Armstrongs to get rebuilt!

 

if you had no job, then where are you getting all this money from to build the car up?

 

Selling random things around the house, plus i had ei for a bit, but now i have a job

 

Well heres todays update!
sense im back working i went to metro self storage and getting a place to store my car again this year.
today i picked up my new bodykit included with a front upper grille and fog lights, thanks to Brad at Double Z Automotive.
in a few mins here i am heading out to hopefully tare the head off my motor sense armstrongs will not do it :roll: and while im doing that i am waiting on a phone call from Forbes to go and get my new shifter boot sense mine is broken.





also i was wondering what you people thought of this mod. i been thinking about doing it but im still iffy

 

that ss/sc kit will look alot better than that hidious body kit you had.......Cant wait to see it on and painted

 

i got to agree there any plans for ur car domistic

 

hey now, lol personally the BC2 kit was by far the best kit you could buy for the cobalt. plus i got a killer deal on it, only paid $500 for the kit when ibought it new.
i just moved the car from my drive way to metro self storage again for another year of great fun lol, but they got smart! put cages over all their lights so you cant steal power lol
