It was nice knowing you... 45k mi R.I.P.

You out lasted 2 motors, 2 turbo set ups, 1 twincharge build, 2 different N2O systems and 1 pair of stage 1 axels you did me well and you got me home!!! Thats all that matters...


I was racing my friends built LTR450 Quad on 20 shot. we were going from a dig. I was spraying 125 for the first time. I usually spray 50, 75 or 100 shot. but I put the drag radials on, drained the tank, put in 4 gal of VP100 in and let it rip...

With that size shot i knew traction in second would be slim so i only bumped the button from 5000 to 7000 and shifted to third, as soon as i pushed the button in third gear it just shelled 3rd right off it is completely gone. I slowed down thinking it was a roll pin or linkage issue or even an axle as i've broken 1 before.

But, as soon as i slowed down and heard the sound of marbles in a blender i knew i wasent in too good of shape. so i slammed it in second and cruised to my house about 4 blocks away...

By the time i got there all i could hear was terrible squeeling and grinding. plus fluid was leaking from between the case and the block all over my driveway. not to mention the speedometer stopped working as well

 

No dice man. Sorry to hear.

 

im sure ill be joining ur club soon running 25 psi

 

damm man. sorry to hear this, you called for it tho...

 

youre back! lol

 

Damn dude sorry to hear. It has held up to a lot though it seems!

 

again another 1k or so goes into the cobalt... this car is a pile of ****...


an expensive one too.

not to mention all my tires are bald, im sure my custom clutch disc was ruined, plus i need cab's and a bunch of other BS.......




Ever since i got my block sleeved i have just been beating the **** out of this thing for about 10k miles straight and its starting to show.

 

that pile of **** took alot of beating before it took the **** lol.

 

yeah i have had alot of fun in this car too, way better than modding honda's like i used too. but at least everything was a dime a dozen.

i love my cobalt im just pist at her!

 

lol yea man i know how u feel trust me whenever they break u hate them but u know deep inside u wouldnt get rid of them, and when there at there best u just love em even more...i guess its kinda same thing with girls

 

dam... same **** happend to mine... but it didnt go thru all that beating :/
i got a new lsj G85 tranny for $1200... clutch was fine...

 

I ended up getting a new non lsd for 500 + 175 shipping. and i bought a lnf clutch kit.

I wanted to get a lsd off of rob too but i just couldnt pay double the money.

 

I offered 500 on this Cobalt SS Ion 05-07 Manual Transmission 5 Speed MU3 NEW: eBay Motors (item 370398225309 end time Nov-14-10 16:27:42 PST)

and they accepted

 

I guess they don't last forever?

 

yeah wtf i thought they did too lol


but for real i have had this car since it had 86mi on it so the jack asses that test drove it must of fubbed it up!!! lol tranny went out at 45xxx miles

 

at least it wasn't a sleeve. That's what happened to me, hit 3rd and POOF!

 

I already did that in nov/dec of last yr... lol
