200,000 mile cobalt....
Cobalt SS/SC 24psi boost GT30R June 06 115,000
Work out of my house. Off the road 4 months 2years ago to put turbo stuff on.
Off the road 3 months this year for upgrade to ported head and log style intake and larger throttle body. When on the road average 3500 miles of pure fun driving a month.
No problems other than my fault stuff.

car is running great .i'm not going to mess with anything as long as it's running this good. I change fuel filter every 50k miles n i still have factory coolant!

Steering clunk..(typical...), water in passenger floor, lights burning out n steering wheel control and window/unlock buttons, ic pump, lca bushings. Thats the only PROBLEMS ive had.
I disagree. I extend my oil changes 3-5k after oil life hits 0%. Even then, wen i change the oil its never dirty like it should be. Typically wen i drive normal before n did my oil changes, the oil would be almost black. Besides, my car burns oil, so i add a quart ever few thousand miles.
Wat amazes me the most is the bearings n balljoints. All factory. Had them chacked last week n all the techs who looked at em said they were as tight as can be. They tryed finding sumthing loose, but it was a no go. They were impressed especialky considering i had 20" wheels on this car for 3 yrs. I woulda thot for sure suspension would been worn up. I did replace shocks n struts at 140k

exactly what im thinking. i did replace more things due to the fact i wanted to. like the steering parts with moog, and engine/trany mounts to poly. otherwise..the car runs fine. a little jerking around 4k rpm when i accelerate. feels almost like an automatic shift... idk what it is.
and the timing chain stretches and breaks more frequently then youd like to happen.
i understand but i don't know how to repair the timing chain . also if i take it into a shop that couple 100 dollar repair will turn into a couple 1000 dollars . i know it will because there will be other things THat need done like head gasket.
just trying to help make sure you make it to 300k
Thats my point. There is no color change. Bright red from factory. I check it a lot. And with as much as i drive, i dont have time to b rippn engine apart. Damn i barely find time to change oil. Lol
