by the way I have a four door sedan

 

hey Dave welcome to the disfunctional family do you have any more planned mods to get those times down???

 

Hey Dave welcome to ss.net

We should meet up since were both in Orlando, I havent meet anthoer 2.4 owner yet. Check out the south east forum for the next meet info.

 

Welcome Dave...............good to have you join in. Good numbers you posted. Is that 4 door sedan an ION or Cobalt? I'll be back at Firebird in Janurary as soon as they post a schedule I'll have a date. They never got a full
schedule posted in 2006 that listed what saturday nights they would be open. So if I can get an answer when I call them I may be making a few more runs before the new year.

 

In response to the questions. . . Don't have any other mods planned yet. I'm looking for a tuning option, but I don't want to flash a tune onto my computer and not be able to change it back myself if I had to take my car back to the dealer. I'm thinking about either going with a mini afc 2.2, or apexi s-afc(piggy back fuel controllers), or hp tuners(so I can change it back myself) and finding a local shop that can tune it for me. I wish that superchips or diablosport made hand helds programmers for our cars. With them both being in Florida I would get my car over to them to test if they were interested in making one. I've contacted them but they don't have anything and are not looking to make anything anytime soon. Maybe if more people contacted them they would hook us up. I'm also thinking about drag radials to help launch. But like I said dont' really have anything planned yet. I'm just trying to make sure that I don't do anything that is hard to change back if I ever have warranty issues.
I voided my warranty on my old car. It was a 2003 neon. I spent about 3 grand on that car(intake, catback, headers, downpipe, underdrive pulley, 60mm throttle body, comp cams camshaft, adjustable cam gear with timing 4 degrees advanced, venom 400 module, jet chips tuned pcm which was a piece of ****, shift kit, hi stall torque converter, fuzion tires, 8.5 mm ignition wires, ngk iridium plugs). With all that money spent the fastest time I ever ran was a 17.39(sohc neons are pieces of ****, love my new car). Then I blew my engine, I replaced engine. Then the transmission died. So I don't want to go through that again.

Oh and by the way I own a cobalt, not an ion. Yeah I'd like to meet up with some other 2.4's. I go to the track pretty often. I'll try to keep up on when you guys are meeting.

 

Damn that last one I posted was long as hell. Hope I didn't bore anyone to death

 

ahh I have seen longer

sidenote: We are haveing another G2G tommorow check the SE forum

 

sushidog ran 15.5 in his 2.4auto tonight

 

What does Sushidog have done to his car?

 

how funny would that have looked if I beat you to the 60' mark on FOOT!! I ran the 4o in 4.6 seconds, which means I could get to the 60' in about 2.3...

 

 

Yes, I don't understand what he said............either............and now I don't care.

 

i think a guy from the mustangforums goes to firebird...if you ever see a dark red v6 mustang almost running 13's (just on bolt ons ) talk to him. he's a cool guy and he is extremely knowledgable about racing, and turnin some wrenches...his other car is an 03 cobra and i beleive he owns a shop. he could probably give you some great tips.

 

Tips on what.............a narrowed DANA 60, maybe a Liberty 5 speed, how about a set of 29/12X15 wrinkle walls. Maybe on how to tub my front wheel drive daily driver. I know I may need a fire jacket and gloves. Not to mention a four link rear suspension.

 

Traction control blows when your trying to launch

 

put it in L and get er done, i ran the wifes cobalt SS 2.4 Sedan Auto three or four weeks ago, sorry no scanner or digi camera, lost power, so this CPU is on the fritz.
64 degrees, took off in L shifted to I and drove on! bone stock SS, got a video, unfotunatly it wont load on the CPU

on getting some better et's....he has MAJOR track experience. he had a 9 second turbo trans am before this car, so uhhh i think he may be able to teach ya a few things LOL.

 

HOw are these Auto 2.4's running such good times?

 

Well this thread has become worthless................like most do.

 

why is it worthless, and if your in arizona, you have to do a alttitude adjustment, so that 15.9 is actually around a 15.5 or so, do some research or how to calculate, plus isnt the cobalts lighter than ions? im not sure, also the SS 2.4 cobalt has lower and closer gearing than the saturn's ion 2.4 combo

 

never use corrected times because it can't factor in ALOT of stuff. those stupid calculaters are never accurate and people use them as if they were the bible. one of those calculaters told me my car has 295hp....wow, thatd be nice.

 

in an N/A vehicle the calculator is pretty fair.. if your 60' is up to par, if not, it's all "fugazi"

 

I have a 2.4l auto. The mods are in my sig. By the way, I could have done a lot better if it wasn't raining. Not only was this the first time I launched this car at the strip, but it's my first time launching a FWD car ever.

Here's the slip.

 

very nice time! the 2.4 auto is a 15-15.5 sec car on a good day, nuff said

 

Not stock, and only at the right track...............nuff said
