I replaced my intake solenoid a while back so just need exhaust. I'm at 79k so time to replace. I'll check if its dirty though

 

Anyone know if the BPS shifter fits in a redline?

 

yea then you probably just need to replace it then lol.

 

sure it does. same config shifter and housing very similar just has an extra post for the box. all good.

 

Thanks for the confirmation John. Couldn't find that bit of info after searching a few threads.

 

I did my intake/exhaust cam sensors at 150K

 

My car's TCM on Monday decided to die while I was driving. Doors were locking and unlocking while the transmission won't shift at all and I have an automatic. I was going 40 mph on a highway with the engine shooting past 4,000 rpms.

Dropped it off at the dealership and was stuck with a Nissan Versa for 2 days. It wasn't a bad car but the seat was comfy as hell, I could sleep on it.

I got the car back Wednesday and now I'm worried about replacing the timing chain tensioner since I just went past 130,000 miles.

 

Had same thing happen to me with the tcm. I didn't go 40 though f that lol. Wouldve been a loud and annoying drive

 

It sucked that it had to happen while driving on an interstate highway, I initially thought it was possessed lol. I kept an eye on the rpms because if I went any faster, I could overheat the engine or break something. Basically it felt like it was stuck in third gear. Luckily the dealership was coming up less than 10 miles on the following exit.

The money I was saving for a new exhaust went to the new TCM. The exhaust will need to be replaced too since it was starting to rattle due to some rusted bolts; I could hear it vibrating loudly when idling. Maybe it's the manifold...

 

Oh mine happened when I was working on the car. I forgot to take off the battery cable and a little fuel got on it. Some spark came out and that was the end of it lol. I was stuck in 1st gear. Forever!! Lol. I got a used tcm and had it flashed at stealership. Had stock tune on the newly flashed tcm so yeah spinning all over the place with a tap of the throttle was fun -_-

 

Installed my ZZP LNF downpipe! I'm lovin the sound....and the smell
Can't wait to get tuned next week!

 

High flow or cat-less? I love the high flow sound with my MPX exhaust

 

If he loves the smell he has to be catless lol

 

I get a smell coming off the high flow, more so than stock, but not as much as cat less

 

Catless, I had a zzp hi-flow cat and zpp exhaust on my previous car. I loved the sound of that too

 

Very nice.

I just got done changing the oil in my cobalt

 

finally finished installing/painting my new brakes:

R1 Concepts Premium Blank Rotors all around
New OEM Rear Pads
New OEM Brembo Pads
New Brembo Pins
Painted everything in a gunmetal metallic (was red before)
Put my ss/tc wheels back on for a while
