Yesterday Jan 19th i went to work on the car, all i did was clean the engiine bay and paint the sub frame as well as the bumper support.

 

Well not much of an update but here i go.
My goal for this season was to max the stock sleeves out and run 450WHP on a GT3563R, well after all the stuff i needed to buy i found out i didnt have enough to make it happen, sense to make it safe i would need to run a return fuel system witch is over 400 bucks USD on top of the new turbo, turbo manifold and wastegate.
So i found out the stck pump should be good up to 300whp witchis great i will rock that for now and then once my tank is low enough on fuel i will put the Walbro 255 LPH pump in.
heres a list on what i am waiting on:

Stance G2 Plus Coilovers
Bwoody Swaybar Endlinks
CF with red sticking Shifter and e brake boots
MOMO Pitstop CF E brake handle
Spec Stage 3+ Clutch

 

Yeah i thought glubes was way over priced and terrible for customer service. You watch Autoworld will be next to close down out here.

 

glubes is not out of business, found out he closed till he found a cheaper place to open up

 

autoword is even worse. I went there to see if they had a replacement injen filter for my intake. They didnt have any in stock but they had a brand name i never heard. The guy at the counter said it will work on my car. I asked him before i paid for it "if i install it and it causes my car to run like crap can i return it" he said yes, my gf even heard him. So i installed it, my afr was bouncing all over the place, CEL was coming on so i took it off put the dirty injen filter back on and it ran fine. The new filter didnt even have 100km on it when i tried to return it. so i put it back in the package went back tried to return it, he said since i installed and drove the car i cant return it. Like wtf!? he told me when i bought it i could return it if it doesnt work, then he changes his mind...total bs. Normally i stay calm and suck it up but i ******* lost it at him. That was the only time and the last time i ever went to that hell hole.

 

Well todays update.
Between Yesterday and today i got a few goodies in the mail.
Turbo Tech Racing Hooked me up with a Soild Upper Tranny mount, and Spec Stage 3+ clutch.
Redline good sent me out my e brake and shifter boots, minus some issues i have with the product and i didnt get my e brake handle with it they look awesome.
heres some pics

 

Well today more parts came in. so i can kinda work on it, sucks still no suspension or the motor, gonna start prep work on the body kit too so i can paint it.
I ordered myself some Bwoody Sway bar endlinks cause the stock ones i ruined like 2 yrs ago and just never cared but this season the car should see the track so i gotta make sure shes all good.

 

Chris how much have you spent up to date on parts alone? you're looking at a nice car once she's all assembled!

Not bad..... Just keep it in mind lol

 

good luck with your build

 

thanks

 

those coilovers are nice Chris, it will look great on your car

 

mmmmm i want those wheels

 

I just like to know why u wasted that amount of money on coil overs for a cobalt?
it isn't like it is a corvette or viper....really it is just for a 20,000 dollar car:S

 

Well another update.
got my coilovers yesterday so i wanted to put them on so i went down started to put them on.
they are all on and honestly i am not happy with the wheel gap, could be because they have yet to settel or something, the rear is because the rear cross member is up agenst the exhaust.

 

I thought the Stance coilovers were more of a road racing coilover...not a look at my Im slammed setup. But I could be wrong.

 

Stance was going for the low looks, if you seen the ad for them they stated "lowest of them all"
hopefully once the motor is in and i get around to fising my exhaust i will get it even lower!

 

Todays up date, didnt do much, just put some odds and ends back on the car.



those pics you can see the size of my intercooler!

 

is it going to be centered this time :P jk

 

that tire is way too thin. what the aspect ratio? 25??
