New to the Cobalt family
Hey everyone!
My names Spencer and i just got my first cobalt a little over a month ago, and i love it the second i laid eyes on it! The only bad thing is only 2 days after buying it i blew the side of piston 4 out.. it had me pretty angry since i bought this car to replace my 03 tiburon gt. The good thing about that is that it means i just have a reason to build it up right now
So right now its a 06 Cobalt ss/sc, everything on the exterior is stock as of right now, but wont be for too long i hope
As of right now the block is at a machine shop here in AZ, its getting bored 20 or 30 over (depending on the size pistons i can get) i already have brand new set some forged Diamond pistons but they wont be able to be used since its getting a bore now.
Now on the some the the parts
Thats all i can think of as of right now
Ill post pictures soon!
