More tuning today and we found the issue. I need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Any recommendations?

Easily one of the best mods you can do to these cars. Absolutely love mine as it completely changed the shifting dynamics.

Ohhh yea. I don't know why I waited so long for it but I'm glad I have it now. Next "mod" is a redline shift boot

I do know what I'm doing when it comes to these cars. The minimal amount of change those little spacers cause to the angle of the tie rod should not really need any major alignment changes.

If you re read my post, I did not say they are a total waste... I mention for a minimally lowered car they are not required, and I know you know this to be true....
The bolts of the steering rack have a little slop in them. That's what cause's them to go off center. Toe should be checked when rack spacers are installed, most people install them when lowering the vehicle so an alignment is best.

What I know to be true is that there is a right way and a wrong way to modify everything. Most people lower their car for looks and don't think or care how that affects ride quality or handling. Some people want handling and predictable steering input and output. The last group are the people that will buy rack spacers and possibly even measure the bump steer on their own vehicle.

If you ever have a problem with them let me know. I've already started on this set you traded

There's a how-to in the how-to section if you felt like doing it yourself!

Planning on relocating my sunroof button. tired of it hanging freely since the metal bracket broke out. Any recommendations on where it would go best? I'm thinking next to the secret compartment/trunk release on the driver side or on the center console, just not sure yet.

i already have the gaping hole with the little button in there. the metal bracket came out and i couldn't get the plastic trim ring to stay so it's looked like **** for awhile. i've been looking at options and advanced auto has a cheap fairly decent looking dome lights that i'm gonna check out first.

gathered up a collection

I bought another car, and had my son over to help me push it in the garage, the result is this in my driveway. A stock 06 Cobalt SS/SC in the garage, a semi-stock 07 Cobalt SS/TC, and a stage 3 2006 Cobalt SS/SC
