I live in Port Saint Lucie which is about 2 and a half hours north of Miami. Yeah I've been lurking but decided to just join. I love my cobalt. Just burnt the clutch up though. Im at 87k. I bought a phoenix friction stage 3 clutch kit. Getting that on Thursday. Hopefully get it all in by the end of the weekend.

I don't know how many civics have tried to race me and I've just dusted them lol. A few rsx type s too. It's such a fun car. Anyone know of a good short shifter? Everything I've found is ridiculously expensive.

OTTP, Josh, has his on sale for 139. I had one and did the first look review on it. I recommend it.


You wasted so much money on that clutch. Should have bought the GMPP kit from CrateEngineDepot.

GMPP is the go to clutch honestly.
It is WAY underrated and the price cannot be beat.

Hmmm. Interesting. Do you think this clutch will be sufficient?

He doesn't have a Cobalt.

Honestly, I would return it if you could.
Do you get the LNF TOB?
I have seen that car for sale before.
Who did the tune?
Change the timing chain tensioner to the LNF model.

I should return the clutch?
I don't know what that means lol.

I'm about to get it retuned. I have no idea who tuned it. Idles weird.
And why should I change that? What will the difference be?
