Went through alot of cars- going back to a cobalt

as the title says i went through alot of cars but now am going back to a cobalt - black 09 tc injen intake and aftermarket headlights- tint. i had a 06 ss/sc two years ago since then i have had numerous cars- 06 sti, 05 rsx-s, 06 mazdaspeed 6, 06 saab 9-3 2.0t, and now i have an 03 sentra spec-v AS A dd that is pending sale this friday and then i will get my cobalt- if i do sell the sentra i will pick the tc up for 16k if the sale falls through i will have to trade in and roll over some negative equity so the cobalt will be 18k- let me know if you guys think that that would be too much for a 09 tc with 18k odo...i am phsyced as hell to get the cobalt and will post pics when i get it.

plans for new cobalt- lower it- tune it by a guy in town that did an awesome tune on a ss/sc for my buddy- and not sure what else- i have alot to learn about those cars-

also for you tc owners feel free to throw out negatives about the car- i already know all of the positives!

Yeah I loved my sti but damn thing cost wayyy to much to maintain and the ms6 has the weakest differential then any other awd car out there ( a Mazda mechanic even told me that) I had to replace my differential twice in a year so I had to do away with the ms6

My ss/sc had some squeeky breaks too now that I think about it- I'm not to worried about the fwd thing- after having two awd's back to back I'm kinda happy I'm not getting an awd again- only thing it's good for is racing from a dig and getting around on snow- when my differential on my ms6 went out and the car was fwd for a few weeks till I got to fixed u wudnt believe how much quicker it was on a roll race- I was actually continplating fixing the awd because the car was actually faster without it but I had
to because of resale reasons! Lol

Welcome back to the balt world..lol

The best car outta all of them besides the balt would have been the DC5 so if you weren't looking at the balt I'd tell ya to get another DC5

Full-Race :cough: :cough:

Yeah I loved the rsx probably one of my favorite of the cars I've had/ I regret getting rid of it- but I wanna start with something that is FI from the factory then to have to turbo or supercharge it myself- dc5's are hard to find too and when u do find them they are ridiculously priced 15k with like 100k+ miles on it and **** lol

I agree I was looking at one with 2k miles on it, yeahh 2k that's it and they wanted 22,995

I wanted it soo bad but it wasn't realistic for me to go upside down for it...

So I walked away and just came to a agreement with myself (building the balt)

Good luck to you and your purchase of the newer balt
