Took intake off and switch cores how they are supposed to be.

It solved my air pocket problem and also it was causing a lot of turbulence in the system and frothing up the coolant.

Temps seem the same but I havent driven it much yet.

Two awesome days this weekend in the 60's

Installed shorty headers and 3" cat-less down pipe
Heat resistant wrapped CAI
More re-looming of wiring
Assembled Dual Pass Manifold with new o-rings
Installed Manifold vent fittings
Ordered new LSJ A/C line to run under the manifold
Ordered new Condenser since the system will be opened up.

 

Drove car last night temps were 10-20 over ambient with abiemt being about 45-50.

 

Drove it to work. Some moron was stopped in the driving lane of a two-lane highway, no flashers or anything. I slowed down to about 30 and made sure nobody was coming the other way. Downshifted to 2nd and floored it past them, basically lit their car up with 2 liters of supercharged exhaust and blower noise.

Also when you drive a truck and go back to the Cobalt, it feels like a go-kart. A very fast go-kart.

 

What messes with me is the differences in clutches. They both engage at different points and the truck clutch is heavier so it feels like mine is broken in the Cobalt when I hop in because it is so light.

 

Def. my truck lets out at the top and has a cable throttle. The Cobalt grabs pretty much off the floor and has the drive by wire. I'm used to the SS but I usually muff a few shifts when I start driving the truck until I get used to it again, lol.

 

sold it

 

You finally sold the sedan!!!!?

 

for $17.5K?

 

Parked it inside.

This is going to be the first snowstorm since 2007 that I haven't commuted to work in the Cobalt.

 

yes sir was hard to let it go but feels great

actually 22grand

 

Nice man, hopefully it went to a good home

 

Monopoly money?

 

bitcoin

 

You really got 22k for a 9 year old car with no warranty? Wow!

 

this would actually be amazing

 

if someone was dumb enough to pay 22k for an 09 cobalt. Then they deserve the shitty deal they got

 

I was dumb enough to buy mine new in 09 for 27k but it only has 29 kilometres on it lol

 

i feel for you

 

Don't forget he's a Canadian so they already have an elevated disadvantage on price.

 

yeah i seen that.

 

Y'all Canadians want a low rust SS SC? 10k!

 

I got a lot done today.

Head studs
reinstalled cams
installed head/lsj gasket
installed new timing chain/tensioner/guides
new front main seal

I'm almost ready to put the engine back in!

 

Do mine next?
