New guy on board

Sup guys, names Anthony, some others call me Tony. Dont matter to me really. Im on StanceWI.com alot, thought Id hop over here. Well lets hop down too it.

I have a 2006 Cobalt SS SC Stage 2
Been retuned at 15lbs, with Injen CAI, GM Performance Line exhaust
Its lowered right now 2" on springs

Just hit 70k on the body, Motor/Transmission/Clutch all have 10k on them. They all blew up 2 days apart from when I bought it. Car was beat to **** from the dealership.. but whatever I guess. She is becoming my little toy. As of right now its in the 260hp range. The goals are to have her swapped over to turbo this summer. Plan is 400whp Turbo LSJ.

Right now She is in the process of being gutted and cleaned out. Turning her into a project vehicle.

Her winter look as of now


Summer


Just started gutting today, Head rests and Seat belt assemblies are finally out. That was a blast blast.


Just put the harnesses in today


Completely shaved rear end, also wing is off. AND for sale if I might add LOL

Just bought matching fabric for the rear of the car, going to cover the gaping hole, an the bare metal. All the seat belt assemblies and head rests for the rear are out. Seen the new upgrade s/c the tvs 1900... kind of interesting me... Might second guess the turbo swap, an throw a more beefy charger in it... pondering the brain a bit. But who knows. Just doing little odds an ends as it comes along.

With talking with my buddy Preston Co-owner/president of StanceWI With his goal of hitting 2200lbs with his car... I would love to drop my car down to 2300-2400... but gotta figure out what Im doing with it first.... OFFICIALLY

I've been considering how to go about doing this, patching up the hole in the back.... Same dilemma you're in.

how much weight are you saving by removing all that from the rear?

I believe its 30lbs. Not 100% positive. But I know that metal bracket weighed about5-10lbs, and the seats alone roughly 20. Ima weight them out when I get more free time. I would love to drop 400lbs out of the car atleast
