Just wondering what has taking so long to get a site up and running? Im not trying to be an ass or anything it just seems it ahouldnt take this long to get the website setup.

Powell Race Parts

iTrader: (3)

its up and runnng. Ecommerce is not, and some of the links are not working.
It was done by a close racing buddy for free, and its hard to beat up on him and say " gotta hand it over to someone else to get it finished" coz he is a good friend and a nice guy, so thats the answer. Doesnt make it easier,and now you know. I am just as happy to deal with emails and talk to people but I agree its frustrating.

What exactly does a floating rotor entail?and what good is a bottom hinged gas pedal to the stock one?

Powell Race Parts

iTrader: (3)

floating rotors are race rotors mounted to a "hat" with special hardware "bobbins" that allow the rotor to "float" to avoid warping between the hat and the rotor surface.

stock 26 mm rotor

floating grand am style BBK LSJ 28 mm cobalt rotor


Powell hardcore floating rotor, 28 mm LNF




Corvette Brembo floating rotor


why drilled rotors suck

bottom hinged gas pedals provide improved ergonomics, so when depressing the brake pedal and simultaneously "blipping" the gas pedal to match revs on the downshift, a more precise braking and "blip" is achieved. The arc of the gas pedal is better, and there is no space between the bottom of the gas pedal pad ( as in the stock location) so there is little or no chance of missing the gas pedal with your foot.

If you check out serious drivers car like Ferrari Porsche BMW etc you will generally find pendant brake and clutch pedal mounting and bottom hinged gas pedals.

I think most people would be okay with emailing Gloria for prices and Paypal works well for that. The problem is knowing what goodies you guys have. Probably just a single site with a cut and paste of the info and pics you post in the various forums is all that is needed. I bet most people didn't know you had made front spindle ducts but it's a pretty cool peice.

I have written the stuff taken the pictures, just waiting to get it on the site. its true. a big issue right now. working on it.

cobaltss#01

iTrader: (4)

What are the prices for the two

09CobaltSS1

I don't mean to turn this into a Powell Race Shop pricing thread, but since you're here..

How much for those LNF rotors and will they fit with the stock calliper locations? I honestly forget the size of the stock LNF rotors so I appologize if this is a stupid question.. lol

09CobaltSS1

^^This guy knows how to clear a room!

Powell Race Parts

iTrader: (3)

they are direct replacement, but as they are 2mm thicker (need mass for better braking) the steel pad shims may need to be left out if installing new pads on new rotors. These things last a long time I got 3 seasons on mine.
900 for a pair. 300 a rotor replacement ( hats and bobbins last for ever)

YelloEye

iTrader: (3)

Is that per rotor or replacement pair for $300?

Powell Race Parts

iTrader: (3)

a pair. 150 each. sorry.

Hey John. Since you're a supporting vendor, can't you just make a thread over in the supporting vendors section until the site is sorted out? Since you have all of the pictures and descriptions just introduce yourself and your company along with what you offer, pics, descriptions, prices shipped (Canada and US) and contact information for ordering.

It could be something like this (basically copied and pasted from your site):


Powell Race shop is a PROUD sponsor of CobaltSS.net.

We produce custom made, limited production, hardcore race developed parts for performance automobiles - particularly for the ‘delta’ platform Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion Redline, the “Y” car and C6 Chevrolet Corvette. Our parts are created in response to requests and needs – customers wishing better handling and braking – or our desire to improve vehicle performance for racing. Sometimes the limitations imposed by racing regulations make us search for “stock appearing” ways to make our cars better. Sometimes Time Attack style unlimited regulations create the freedom for us to dream up totally new parts. These are all parts that our customers can use, to enjoy a simpler, less expensive and more effective street, auto x or track day vehicle.

We do believe that performance improvements should be cost effective, and that the money you spend with us for parts or technical sevice should provide you with satisfaction, and deliver the improvements you desire.

Some of our parts are for "track use only" and are high maintenance, or provide marginal performance improvement unless installed as a compliment to other changes. We will state that in the parts description. We do update and improve existing parts we produce based on customer feedback.

While parts of our website are under construction, here is a list of the products we offer:

Suspension and Brakes

Street Rear Sway Bar 1.0



A rear mounted, easily installed bar that is best for FE3 base suspension cars; for drivers who enjoy their cars on the street and do not auto cross or race their cars.

THE best ride and handling springs available for the Delta platform. The drop is minimal. If performance is more important than having a low car, these are the springs for you.

After years of researching and hundreds of hours of testing it was determined that you cannot have the kind of results we demanded with a right height equal to our competitors.
