Yeah, you know if I could the Cobalt would be there. I am in to process of getting it back to stock to drop it off at the dealership to get it fixed under warranty. I may have another Cobalt come though. If she can get up here.

K I got two more that are going to come. I will make some more calls and see what I can do. Maybe even drive mine broke and all!!!!

 

did you ever do a compression test?

 

No, I talked to a couple GM techs and Cobalt owners that have had this happen to them. I was told it is one of two things if not both of them. A blows ring or piston.

 

do the compression test first. More than likely it will be rings before pistons, If it were pistons there would have been hella noise and mass destruction. Rings will generally re-seat if they are not cracked. anything less than a 5% variance between cylinders should be ok if i recall correctly.

 

Yeah, I am just going to drop it of though. They can fix it. I need to use it before my warranty is done with.

 

so whats the deal with the roosters meet, is it a go? I have no idea where this place is, if I coming in to Louisville on 64 West where do I go? If it's not too far, I might try to make it out.

 

Yes, the meet is still a go!

Here is the address to Rooster:

7405 Preston Hwy, Louisville, KY

 

Is it closer to the gene snyder or the watterson? And what is next to it that is well known

 

if you are coming from gene snyder. off gene snyder you will make a right towards meijers and go down preston about 2-3 miles. you will pass a a main intersection(outer loop)with a shell on the corner and a pizza hut and roosters will be on the right shortley after that. the more the merrier. id love to see a few balts other than bryans, mikes, and mine show up.

 

Amen bro, the meets are always use three. I have not problem with that, but would like to more then ours.

 

yep, it is at the corner of mccawley road and preston hwy.

hey guys heres the startup video of the turbo balt. what u think

http://s392.photobucket.com/albums/p...t=MOV05243.flv

 

Sounds like crap! Need to get a resonator or something and if I was you I would get the oil pan fitting welded there. The set up looks good though.

It was nice to see everyone and meet new faces. Now if we can get another one before I leave for basic.

 

hey guys quick question.... is there ever any autox events in your area?? im wanting to get into it and i know here in owensboro there was one event a couple years ago but im looking for something thats a little more often

 

yep, you can check out kyscca.com. I know that two of the three locations are still a go for next year, Ft. knox, and UPS, but Papa Johns stadium bailed out because of pressure from the local neighborhoods because of the noise on a Sunday afternoon.

 

how many events do they hold a year? and whats the rules and regulations on it

 

It is on the website on the "first timers" tab. There are multiple pages along with the 2008 rules and regs. the 2009 should be about the same as 2008, it just depends on what the national scca officials change.

they usually have at least 1 event a month during the summer, but with papy johns backing out on the contract and very limited area's that will accomidate a sunday of parking space being un available, I am not too sure if there will be that many events next year.

There is a local 502 forum that has a dedicated section to autocross. Goggle 502streetscene and check it out. I am on the same name as here on that board.

 

we need to get several of balts together, do a dyno and do some type of cruise to somewhere. that would be awesome. and i second that. it was nice to see some new faces.

 

This Sunday we need to cruise for the Toys-for-tots thing!!!!

 

Here is the info from the other forum

 

I will be there with some other people as well. Should be alot of fun!

 

Who all is going to the cruise? If the weathers better this time, we need to do some group pics. I'm going to try and make it out. Is there a cost for doing the cruise?

 

well if my car gets tuned by then ill bring it out. i hope so.

 

have you dropped it off yet? I saw the video, it sounds like it's got a HUGE cam in it. kinda like mine did when I had that cheap intake on it.

 

The only cost is a new toy in the box to donate to the toys for tots.
