Ideas for Va Beach and Tidewater region Cobalts
I just got off of the phone with Joe about setting up a Dyno day in your area. We agreed on a time and date at All Aspects Motorsports. I'm looking forward to talking to you guys. Some of you I've talked to in the past. So far I've got a LOT of guys from our club in NOVA.
Please post in the Dyno thread if you will be coming that day. Thanks guys

I don't think so. There are some further up the list that will take them first.
We look forward to you guys coming down to the area. Mindrot sounds like a decepticon name...

Unfortunately, no. I have to buy another shortblock to get the main work done. It'll still be in progress coming up to the new year. So it'll be a while. But I am due to transfer from here soon, and my next duty station might just be the Fredricksburg/Dahlgren area.

lmao they cant do that. its the same routine if they want to serch ur car.. they must possess a search warrant.. so if this happend i suggest fighting that ticket and/or get a lawyer..
Omg it has been a BAD day. Have any of yawl been pulled over n va beach for street racing? I had a clutch put n a few days ago. 500 miles later testing it out a friend and I lined up on va beach blvd and wnen. Clutch works great. Spun thru 2nd lol anyways a cop was up on the left stuck n traffic. He whiped around and my buddy knew my record was bad so he took the hit and got behind me and got pulled. Anyways they put a call out sayn to watch out or a orange cobalt. 4 miles later I walked outa 711 and a cop was sitting by my car running my stuff. I lied my ass of and thought I was gonna get outa it and they cop that pulled up that pulled my buddy ova and he talked to me and asked to c my phone. He looked at my call log and saw that I talked to him right after the cop finnished wth him. Smart bastard. Anyways. Any off yawl no what the fines could b? The cop waqs upset that I lied to em lol oops
Danew, I'm going to try to find my flywheel Friday and take it to Joe Saturday. I know you're out at sea right now, so don't worry about me until you get back. Let's just focus on getting your car done first. February 27 is the dyno day at All Aspects.

Connor, that's fine. I appreciate you looking for the flywheel. That's another important piece of the puzzle that I needed. I got even better news yesterday.
This is actually good news.
I spoke to Ray Bates again, and he said that he has a shortblock that already has the sleeves installed in them. He wants $200 for it, and I have to take care of the shipping cost. I'm going to ask him how much it would be to have the sleeves machined down to handle the pistons I just ordered through him. That would also cut down on the cost of having to get the previous option for a block machined down and sleeved.
I sent Joe (gramps) a couple emails but haven't heard back yet. If someone sees this before him, just let him know he's got some letters from me.
Steve, it probably would be better to leave the car as it is, meaning not taking any obvious parts out of it like the seats.
And the dyno day being in February is some good ****. That'll give me plenty time to get the Phantom back into running shape and out of the break-in process.
I look forward to seeing you all in a few more days.

Danew, just got only 1 email. I'll respond.
BTW, Gordy has the axels and plans to go into the trans tomorrow (Fri.) night. One of the NOVA guys is interested in the donor trans if reasonably repairable.
Watch for may email.

I can get with and work with him and maybe learn something (like old dog; new tricks?) and get some pics for you.
Tranny ****.... Oh, and it's got gears in it, too! That I do know.
