I've yet to make one

 

Ok well I'm not looking for a ton of power out of my car but I'm wondering options wise I'm stuck between zip stage 2 with 3.0 pulley and and intense racing kit and gmst2 kit any input on reliability of these kits and how good the tunes are i already have an injen intake and a full slp loudmouth exhaust

 

Ah yeah, haven't talked to him in a while.

Nice ride!

 

Thanks Man i love the car got to rip her once this winter this car flies I'm really happy with the power band. How do You like the ford focus i was looking into those before i saw the gem in the classifieds

 

Nice grab.

I saw two others on craigslist with under 50k and one is a TVS, well claimed anyways.

 

i was really happy because its hard to find an almost bone stock one now a days usually the best you can get is someone elses project modded and customized to there taste i saw those 2 on craigslist checked out the one without tavs car facts told me to steer clear

 

Nice. I'm very tempted to get an SS as I wanted one for a while and the value has well, decreased sharply :p. The focus is better in nearly every way than my 06 LS was lol. Comfy but somewhat sporty ride, decent power and responds well to bolt ons. The "automatic" transmission is a little worrisome but eh, I like the way it goes.

 

Just get an SS. Somehow my 04 Ion Redline had managed to only pick up an intake and downpipe over the years. As well as some tint and eibach sportlines, which I may add are absolute crap. I fixed everything that was wrong and still modded to the same extent with no issues.

 

Anybody know of any places in the way region that does tuning for the lsj engine

 

As I said before remote tune using my HP tuners.

 

Andrew I might take you up on borrowing that HPT this spring/ summer... I think I might get retuned and squeeze some more power out of the tvs... maybe even drop a pulley size bc I have a 2.6 at home

 

Just let me know, just depends on where I am in the tuning process.

 

Any other lnfs in buffalo?

 

A friend of mine has one, he's around OP though.

 

Is it red? If so. I have seen him around valu auto on south western by the stadium twice. Once when I was test driving the one I have now. Blew by us going the opposite way. I do know of an older guy in his 60s that has an lnf aswell lol

 

Nope he has a black SS on stance coilovers and Rota Grid wheels. How long ago was that? Mine looks like an SS

 

Alright WNY guys... Anyone know a place for powder coat?

 

This guy does good work when you meet him he lost his one arm just a fair warning so you're not acting funny.

I use to live in op. Wonder if I knew of him. Never saw that one tho. And I saw the red one in August. If your cobalt is in the background of the pics of your redline then yours is the wrong shade of red.

 

Andrew are you going to this event? I actually work in corporate security for Xerox in Webster and just saw we got an email letting us know the event would be on our site that day. I work a night shift and get out at 6am that morning but might stick around or come back that afternoon

 

Yeah victory red not the tintcoat red metallic.

 

I'd let you know for sure but most likely, probably in the Ion though.

 

That's street survival not an actual event
Solo Schedule & Results | Finger Lakes Region SCCA
Looks like we got some real sponsors this year.
Must have lost RIT too, damn.

 

so street survival is just a course for everyday drivers to like learn defensive driving tips and crap??? thats super lame, but i can honestly say im not surprised bc i was SHOCKED to hear they were hosting an actual autocross event. Xerox is super **** about liability. Just this year we outlawed the West Webster fire dept from setting up cones and doing fire truck driver training in our lots...

 

Yep that's just training to learn the limits or your car.

Go to the novice school I'll be working the course that day, not an instructor though.
