Hey just wanted to give a shout. My name is Ryan and I am 25 and I also have a Cobalt SS 2005 just with a cold-air-intake. I live in Fridley MN. So if anyone is around give me a shout.

 

welcome , there is a meet this saturday at the park & ride off noble and 160 you are more than welcome to join us if youd like, hope you like the car as much as i do

 

that's actually 610, not 160, Fayzer

I may show up, I'm still undecided about going out of town this weekend or not.

 

I have to work Saturday morning so I wont be able to make the Sat. AM meet

 

Sorry for the topic change, but does anyone have any "good" dealers they know of? I'm having trouble find a good price and place I trust for work.

Thanks!

 

Well I'll say that when I got my colorado form Friendly Fridley, it took way longer than expected (4+ hours, and not all the paperwork was signed). I went to Walser Chevrolet (right off of 169) and it took like 1 and a half hours and I was out driving my new cobalt!

I had also purchased my first vehicle through Walser and they are very good (at least from my experiences). Iten Chevrolet (Brooklyn Blvd/610) is ok, I had waaranty work done there on my Colorado, they were good about it. Purchasing, I don't know!

 

Anyone dealt with Iten Chevrolet in Brooklyn Center? Guy returned my call and had a price more in line with others on this site, but I didn't get the feeling they do much performance work.

 

They are actually a GMPP Certified dealer/installer. So if you want stage 1 or 2 and the GMPP exhaust they can order it and do it there. But like I said, I've never purchased from them, so you'd have to experience it on your own.

 

DO NOT BUY FROM ITEN!!!!!, i hear from an inside source that they are going out of buisness!!
DO NOT BUY FROM ITEN!!!!!, they will try to dick you out of agreements (body work...)
DO NOT BUY FROM ITEN!!!!!, they have bad C S!!!
DO NOT BUY FROM ITEN!!!!!, catch my drift or shall i continue?

also i wouldnt trust the work @ friendly ( ive had work done there in the past but) they go through mechanics like water check the sunday paper, you should see a bunch of adds for mechanic openings for friendly... if they cant keep employes why should they keep customers?


if you were to buy from any dealers i would try walser on 169 and bass lk. rd.



yeah your right, typo my bad

 

so what you're saying is Iten isn't good? J/k thats kind of what I got from talking to the ******** service manager.

 

I would definately go try walser then. From my house, it's like a 4-5 mile drive and I live almost on top of Park Center HS.

Great C S there and they aren't going to hassle you (well they didn't me, cuz I was buying a car from them )

Don't worry about the typo Fayzer, we've all done it at one point or anutha!!

I did debadged my Balt like an hour ago.........sooooooooo much cleaner!

 

do you really want me to rant some more??? lol... yeah walser didnt hassle me much either and i told them i was interested in a car for the G/F so they dude handed me a card and said get in touch if you find somethin... nice dude too he didnt mind talkin about anything


However i didnt see any SS S/C there hmmmm, maby i should have looked harder...

 

Debag??? you removed your air bags??? interesting, whats the point?, what happens when you hit someone at like 50 and go through the windshield??


also sorry bout this mornins meet i slept in a bit, im still planin on tonights meet but i want to meet up with everyone BEFORE we hit the midway..... same place?? (610 & Noble)?

 

DE-BADGED!!! not DE-BAGGED!

I completely missed it. I overslept and was hungover! I didget my CAI/Strut Bar yesterday. I'm happy with my purchase. Makes my car a lot louder (Intake) andI can take turns at a faster rate of speed (Strut bar).

Recommend either one (or both) to any cobalt owner!!!

 

ROFL DEBADGED LOL HAHAHAHA my bad... i was thinkin of getting the front and rear strut bars as well, does it make that big of a diff????

 

I have a bar in the front only. I need one in the back now because the front is more sticky on hard corners and the back likes to sway a bit more. Oh by the way, I just installed Magnaflow catback if anybody want's to hear. I'll try to make it to one of these small meets sometime.

 

The front Strut bar does help a lot like Mike said. Def. added some stability!

With my CAI, it's a helluva lout louder, which means I might not need an exhaust right now, it's loud!!!

 

Yeah cai and a front strut tower bar are worth the upgrade. Did i to my vibe and you can tell the difference with both. hahahh i love the cai noise, now all the honda's wanna race

 

yea, I hate that.

I love 2nd and 3rd in the balt with the CAI. Sounds so fukin sweet! 5th is better than what it was, but, it's still 5th gear!!!

Now if twe meet up again this weekend, I'm sure I can make it, as long as I get up and am not hungover!!!

 

Im gonna start saying it now... PLEASE SHOW !!! lol this saturday the 24th ill be there @10AM i hope to meet some of you, you are more than welcome to show up in the Vibe... or whatever your driving that moment..... everyone is welcome to show of course... hope to see you all there....... same place same time.

Now as for the intake i got an AEM dryflow airfilter on my stock box and i do get quite a bit more noise now... however i am thinkin of getting the full CAI BUT i know you can "suck air through a sewer pipe BUT it makes no diff if your trying to blow throught a straw" catch my drift? so i think itll be exhaust first

 

Isnt this weekend Back to the 50's ??? We could roll down Snelling around noon and check out all the cool rides. Snelling is usually moving at about 1mph during Back to the 50's, but I dont mind.

 

yes, back to the 50's is this weekend. i'm going down with the bf and a bunch of friends saturday afternoon, i think we're going boating on the st. croix first though. i think we're gonna wander around then watch the cars on snelling/uni; we were gonna drive around with the rest of the cars but the gp is down for a few weeks, engine is getting too hot. so i'll be down there if anyone wants to meet up. if we dont end up going boating or something like that, i'll be around for the meet.

 

I think me and my dad are going fri night to The Back to the 50's. I'd be down to go there again on sat though. Either that or meet at 610 and just chill/cruise!

 

back to the 50's is fun! just cruzin the streets is a good time cuz all the old muscle cars do burn outs for ya

 

Any of you guys ever go to a town called Fergus Falls?
