lol it my RATTY (once was nice then black ice made it not so nice .... a few times :/ ) 2010 cobalt XFE ( 2 door 5-speed )that im turning into PROJECT. HAHA
i went threw a deep puddle one morning coming home from work one day ( i work overnights ) and it cracked the block :/ lucky i have a second car as a back up ( 2008 cobalt ls 4 door auto) soooo now im turning my ratty cobalt into a a track car non-street legal. i know that it would be easier to buy a whole new cobalt and probly cheaper too but if you knew the history with this car youd see why lol.
Now a reason im doing this to is because working overnights i started to get board on my time off. nothings open, everyone else is at work sooo i got a second full time job. now for what ever reason im now still board and started looking into a 3rd job then my wife sergested i get a hobby, so with the extra money im gunna put it into the rolling chassis i have outside.
All in All i need something to keep me busy

LOL serious. dont waste the time and money on that car. Get something better to start with. Youll put 10k in it and a SS/TC with $1000 in mods will do circles around it.and im in Sandwich, 15 min away.

I suspect that if he's taking bumps and scrapes he's talking about the 4 cylinder division at Seekonk Speedway. I think a Cobalt would do pretty well there.

I even thought about the New England Hill Climb Association for next summer. Fully bolted with FE5 Sway bars and a powell rear bar with YYZ springs, I could do pretty well.
