Its everything from the exhaust side of MY Cobalt. Turbo Manifold, Turbo, Oil lines, Downpipe, Side-Exit, Wastegate, Dump Tube. Nothing wrong with any of it... I'm just changing things up. All you should need after buying this, is charge piping and a blow-off valve.

Over $3000 worth of parts... for $2500.

... i get from A to B nicely...
... my adrenalin just from normal driving with my one mod suffices.
and as far as getting laid goes... i guess im talking to all the wrong women, cus none of them seem to care what i drive.

Yeah, we'll see. I found a guy selling an LNF long block.

If he sells it to me... then my kit isn't for sale anymore and this Cobalt is going to get fast.

If he doesn't sell it to me... then I wanna sell my kit, and build a new one. Something simple. S252ET set-up or a 2871 or 2876. Something to get maybe 400whp with... and be done.



...and then the GTI is going to get a GT4202R.

That's radically undersized for that motor. GT60R or go home.

So let me ask you guys who have bought/sold SS's around here recently..What would be a fair asking price for my car? It's a 06 SS/SC, about 62300 miles on it right now, although it's probably going to have about 65000 on it when it goes up for sale in a month or so. It has a sunroof (not that it matters, really) and I added the blue/black leather SS seats. Clean title/carfax.

I've had every problem taken care of except the reverse lights not working, and I'm going to fix that as well. The only other thing is the bodywork that I need to have done from my car being backed into while parked on two separate occasions. I'm taking the exhaust off and going back to stock.

Would it be unreasonable to hope to get around $9-10K for it? I see a bunch of SS/SC's on Craigslist for $13K+ but they aren't really selling for that much are they?

For what it's worth, I saw one on autotrader the other day for $10,500 with (I think) 62,000 miles. It was G85, GM stage 2, and an intake if I'm remembering correctly. $9,000-10,000 is fair I think. I see alot of dealers trying to sell them for $12,000-14,000 and they just sit.

That's encouraging. I'd be pumped to get 9K out of it (of course more is better but even 9K would be great). I want it to sell quick, basically as soon as the bike is gone that way I can get things rolling on finding the replacement.

I traded mine in and got 9700 for it...it was an 07 w/ 41k on it. It's currently sitting on a lot in Berea....or Bedford....can't remember. Anyway, they're trying to sell it at 12,990 and it DOESN'T have a clean carfox. Was in pretty damn good shape tho....anyway, I'd aim at sellin it for around 9-10 if you want it to sell. If you wanna sit on it forever, 11-12.

OH...and my reverse lights didn't work either, tho I don't think anyone ever noticed lol What is the cause of that anyway?

Man up...buy it....seen it in person and also seen it make a GTO back down like a little bitch at the fall meet lol Solid kit that you wouldn't have any problems with. Plus, Rob's a good feller, he'll help you out with anything that you don't know or need to know to get it in and running. Hell, he MIGHT even help you put it in....but I can't speak for him lol I WAS going to buy either this kit or one of the other ones he had, but shiz went south and I couldn't afford it at the time.

You'll have fun with it. I GUARANTEE that. Throw in another grand and I'll give you a COMPLETE kit (Vulcan Intake Manifold, Custom ZZP Charge Piping, and a Tial BOV.

A lot of time and money has gone into this car and this kit. $3500 for it all would be an absolute steal. Offer won't last long, I can guarantee that.

If the transmission was ever removed... then what probably happened, was the plug for the Reverse Lights and Boost Control Solenoid were probably switched. The connectors happen to be the same and are in close proximity to each other.

Then don't buy the rest of my expensive parts.

That's why I didn't offer them originally. You don't need them all. The 2.4L manifold is more than capable of holding plenty of boost. Whole thing can be done for less than $3000.

I will make sure not to take Drew for a ride in mine then, so that the bug doesn't bite him more hehehe

But my car is slow, as it is a 4 door.

You do realize Drew that since you said you have underglows, we're all going to constantly try to convert you right?

Besides, more people "ooo" and "ahhh" at a car that has go fasts.

Want inexpensive power? Get some injectors, an m62, and what not and make an SC kit. You can slowly piece that mug together, with out having to blow a **** ton of money at once.

Hey, when it gets warm again lets have another meet at Sonic.

I'll bring the Evo. Not because I want to show it off, but because I dont wanna eat in the STi or the Volvo cuz they are nice and the Evo is a piece of ****.
