SHE'S ALL MINE...proud new owner
As you can see in the title I am the proud new owner of a Chevy Cobalt. To be specific it's a 2005 Cobalt SS (Supercharged) Black exterior, black & red leather. I picked it up at a local GM Dealership it had 49,000 KM on it (31,000 Miles for the ) they were asking 16,500 I got it for 14,900 and a 2 year extended warranty. Im damn proud of it and very happy with the purchase now I just gotta wait till Tues. or Wed. to pick it up I'll post pics of her when I get it...any recommendations with what to watch out for as an owner? I have the warranty so I'm not tooooo worried but it's still good to know.

You can usaully hear it running if you turn the key in the on position.

these go out cause GM has it running all the time when it's really not needed... Stock pulley doesn't need a heat exchanger unless you plan on hot lapping the car at a track. I have yet to notice any heat soak or power loss because I don't run one at all. (2.2 Supercharged tho...) once I upgrade a little more I will hook one up but when I wire it up I'm going to set it up so once the car's thermostat opens it will turn on the pump or just have an in cabin switch to acuate it.

running non-intercooled is common on a lot of setups, but you getmore power and a longer lasting engine if you intercool it.
