My buddy bought his cobalt ss brand new and blew it up about 2 years ago. With 50,000 on the clock I couldn't let him part it out so I purchased it yesterday, too nice of a car to let sit anyways. Under the hood the block has had everything removed prettymuch, I can see the crank through the bores, but all the parts are in the trunk, bagged and labeled. The only aftermarket parts I know of are the 2.8 pulley, 60# injectors, some re flash tune I blame for the detonation, injen intake, and full zzp exhaust which he sold right before I bought the car.

 

Let me add the detonation was also likely from the high comp diamond pistons he installed at around 35k miles, because he burnt a hole in one of his stock pistons. ( not one time did he point a finger at the cylinder head...). Or rebuild it when he dropped the pistons in. When he pulled the #4 piston, the edges of it crumbled lol

 

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

 

Going to bring the car home tomorrow, figured I'd post a few pics I snapped when I went to get the title and keys. Sad place for such a pretty car to be.









The DD 2001 ram 1500 5.9

 

Sorry I couldn't get the pics resolution right, I used imageshack but it could be bc I'm using an iPhone not a camera and sd card like I used to.

 

thats a shame for it but welcome..it can certainly be resurrected and has some decent mods on it so far..I love my sc balt and their alot of fun modded..welcome and glad to help any way I can

 

Any tricks for removing tree sap? Lol

 

Uh, this dude was parting this car out in our FS seciton.....

 

He was going to, the only parts that sold were the header and zzp full exhaust, to my knowledge anyway.

 

Thanks for the heads up I had to make sure that thread was dead lol. I'm so glad he didn't part it out, way too nice a car to see the crusher, maybe if it were wrecked or had a salvage title..

 

You are gonna have A LOT of cleaning up to do. It has potential for sure though.

 

Tree sap, use diluted methanol on a rag and lightly rub. It will come off. Barely use any pressure.

 

The interior looks cherry minus the steering wheel, he had it covered and took the cover off a year ago, and the pine tree did what they do. Luckily my house has no trees and I made room in the garage for it to fit next to the ole lady's tsx.

Will this have any detrimental effects to the clearcoat, moldings, glass?
