Welcome!! I am a fellow Yellow

 

Any meets or events coming up soon around here? I'm surrounded by euro guys so thats all i hear about.

 

Uconn car show next month

 

i seen a silver ss sc yesterday on 84 west getting out of Manchester... anyone here?? it was fun i got excited wen i seen another fellow cobalt owner and did a little fly by and slowed down, he got next to me said hi down shifted and punched it so i down shifted also and passed him. just a friendly lil run nothin serious it was a good time.

 

did it have a cf hood? and black and white rims. if so then thats my buddy.

 

Anyone have a rear caliper compression tool I can borrow? Just ordered new pads and rotors.

 

you can rent one from autozone or advanced auto. Its like 75 bucks, when you return it you get your 75 bucks back...

 

No it look stock had a highrise

 

Ooh then I'm not sure who that is.

 

The rears just need to be pressed in right? I think I used a c-clamp for mine...

 

Just take your old pads, and place them on the caliper and c-clamp em' I used channel lock pliers and got mine to go.

 

Anyone in CT have an lt or ls that has rear aftermarket disc brakes?

 

I read on here someplace they were the twist in and press style. But yours were just regular press in?

 

I used a twist and press style that I bought for.five bucks

 

I think I'm going to borrow the tool from my old work so I'll be ready. Now I just need the parts to arrive.

 

Nearest autozone is where I got mine

 

Anyone know a good mechanic or shop that does clutch work? I need to have my replaced, and can not do this on my own lol

 

Smg motoring did my clutch and axles

 

My buddy Jimmy can do it, he worked at Total Induction in South Windsor. His rates are ridiculously good. PM me if you are interested

He has worked on my Camaro and my Cobalt

 

Thanks!

PM'd

 

He is too busy right now with a bunch of projects

 

Junk yard? I think an SS on would fit too.

 

I don't think so as the SS cars were 5 lug and most other cobalts/ions are 4 lug. SSBC makes a rear conversion kit though.

As for a clutch, My family has a mechanic we go to and have been for years if you feel like a trip down to Shelton. His rates have always seemed fair and my friends have gotten small discounts there for saying I'd referenced them. PM me for info.

 

ya i heard about the SSBC conversion kit but then I also heard it is $1000+ which is a little more then I would wanna spend

 

Percison Tune?

been going there since they opened up, owner of that shop is a family friend if thats the place you were talking about

they actually just did my clutch for me.
