Hey everyone,
I just got an 06 LT l61 two weeks ago, and given the sheer amount of info I sourced from you guys, I figured I'd join you.
I got the car from a family member who I know babied it. At 80k it runs, looks, and even smells brand new.
After learning that the ecotech was a good platform for modification, I started reading, which oft brought me here. So far, this is what I've done:
-Injen cai
-Tsudo catback
-Ksport gt's
-Debadged
-Tint
-Nokya yellow fogs
-Led dome/maps
-Led trunk light
-Hard wired radar detector
-Running Torque to my Note

Not too much yet, but my plans for the future are as follows:
-Madbab or ZZP header
-ZZP catless dp
-2.4 Intake manny
-2.4 Tb
-Injectors
-Cam
-Internals
-ZZP turbo kit
-Trifecta tune
-17 or 18" wheels
-HID's
-Nightshade rears/markers
-Paint bucket reflector
-Spoiler delete
-Avic 7" nav
-Amp/ maybe a new sub

But first, I need a few maintenance items:
-Pads/Rotors (I've heard that warping is fairly common, my front right is definitely)
-Fuel filter
-Fe5 struts/shocks (oem still has alot of life so I figured I'd run them out on the Ksports)
-Sandblast oem wheels (again, I hear peeling is fairly common)
-Tires

Most of that'll come this week. But that's pretty much it. I love the car. I've always liked the styling, but I've never had the opportunity to get one until now.
I can't thank you guys enough for all the info I've gleaned in the last few weeks. It's definitely made things easier. Most of my wish list will be on this year, and I'll be doing it all myself, so I'm sure you'll see me around.

S13rra out.

 

welcome

 

Everyone will bug you for pictures lol

 

Welcome to Cobalt land, Once you enter there's no escape.

Welcome!

 

Oh and your best friend is google search for this site. Just put cobalt SS in your search and plenty of threads for this site will pop up on google

 

yes! lots of good 2.2 and 2.4 builds going on lately look into the specific engine sections on here to see tons of good info and experience (which you seem to already be aware of )

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome. And it's Ecotec. Lol I hate when people say it's an Ecotech

 

welcome!!

 

Only have a few right now, the snow just melted so I'll get some good ones soon.

 

Clean looking l61. You know, that plastic cover is removeable and the oil cap extension also if you choose to get rid of them. Welcome!

 

welcome!

 

Thanks. Yeah, I took that like one of the first days I got it, right after I put the Injen on. I plan on blasting and painting or pcing the vc to clean up the bay a little. Add some dress up caps/braided wires etc. When it gets drier up here during the summer I'll put it to cai, there's just been so much snow you know. Plus I'm throwing the lean code with it. Btw, will a tune take care of that or do I need injectors?
