i know pauls there all different times , he is usually there early but w/ everything going on i dont know what time if at all he will be going out there ...most other show up around 7 ish ...
sean i would try and get there before it gets dark. ill double check with ken and make sure he has all the piping, he should.

this morning was pretty rough with the contractors and this week is slowly killing me so i dont know how long i will be out tomorrow night...i have to work saturday and sunday..i need a little rest.

 

damn donna that sux... do you know if he's in today... I have to tow my car out of the dealership somewhere to fix the tranny myself... they're covering the axle but won't touch the tranny.. (I have all the parts needed to fix myself already) but I know he was working on getting a clutch made for me.

 

wouldnt it be better to buy a bigger stonger axel then going back to gm.....and tranny your better off getting fixed yourself i think

 

I am... have 2 sets of axles coming in next week.,., one driveshaft shop set and one custom set... plus C/A is getting a 6 puck made for them so hopefully its ready soon so I can install that with the fidanza flywheel... so hopefully within a week its back together and much stronger... plus I'm sending one of the trannys to my race shop tranny guy to see how to make em stronger .... now its time to go all out... **** gm's warranty.. I've been building cars for about 12 years now.. so I think I should be able to get it done (just first front wheel drive tranny I"ll be doing) well wish me luck

 

Sweet, good luck with getting those axles made and getting the trans back into shape. I will be coming to DPA tomorrow night. I'm also bringing another .net member with me as well but he won't be bringing his car. So expect me to show up. My name is Adam.

 

yes im pretty sure he went in early today..they started mad early on our roof and i doubt highly he got much sleep

 

Damn.. well I spoke to him today and he said tow the car in ... I feel really bad doing this but right now I have no place to go with this problem... but I researched and found 100 other cobalts in the trystate area with the same problem (even bone stock ones) so hopefully gm will do something about this before the day is over... Big mike is going down there with some news channel to expose whats goin on with these cars...
so lets see what happens

 

big mike is gonna do that...this is crazy if he does...yeah no big deal..i can come rite after work. i also had a question for kenny bout that header he got made...it shud fit all cobalts. from wut i understand no cobalt has egr..at least the 2.2 n 2.4. im chanin my exhaust so..it wudnt be bad to have that on

 

hell yeah

 

this should be interesting.

 

wait til you see my car in even more pieces than usual... damn

 

i totally believe big mike would do this too...ask paul about what he said to the waitress in tuesdays...i almost ****. lol

 

thats was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed in a long time... that guy is ****** hysterical... new project now ... I kinda put my foot in my mouth with this one... I mentioned the t76 I have lying around... well now its going in the impala.... oh yeah... big power coming... but first things first gotta get my baby back together

 

No ******* way! Thats awesome! That guy is great. What channels is he bringing down?

 

paul wut did u need....give me a call ..i have a buddy who owns a hardware shop

 

What did he say at Tuesdays?

 

inverse torx bits... I can't find the size

 

ohhh friday nights..paul u take off today to work on your car? wut time u goin down to CA today?

 

I'm gonna probably leave at 2 to go to the dealer and see what the hell is going on.... then i'll be off to c/a with whatever info they tell me... I just want to know what the hell is going on before I jump into anything... cause now all work is on hold on all cobalts around here until a gm rep comes to each dealership... apparantly this is a wide spread problem

 

this is so stupid.

 

Yes it is

 

And they are just realizing this? WTF? Damn lazy ass corporate bitches! I feel bad for you Paul. Even if you were drag racing there is no reason what-so-ever that your bellhousing should cracked apart (it did right?) Ghey....GM is GHEY

 

well I didn't even race it... didn't even get onto the track... I think the clutch shot through the bellhousin and god only knows whatelse it took out in the process.... damn GM... damn them to hell.. shoulda got an SRT-4 at least they're designed to take abuse...

 

I was with my friend at hawthorne chevy in their garage. They had a sweet 06 corvette. I asked them why it was in there. They said the guy broke the rear axels and cracked the bellhousing. I was like hOW!? The guy wouldn't say anything but my friend seems to think he was drifting and hit something. Guess how much in damages.....


$12,000 to fix the corvette and not under warranty. And the guy said fix it....Jeese I wish i had money like that.

But anyway, who is still going to DPA tonight? Are we meeting at Cobalt Addiction?

 

Yeah thats what I'm saying. Since you weren't racing there was no reason at all that it shoulda happened. My clutch was slipping again yesterday...getting onto the Northern state too...I'm so glad I was only able to hit 30 MPH by the time the ramp ended cause 2nd gear wouldn't catch!

We should try to get something going for KBB or Consumer Reports to make this a more publicly known thing. Bring it out and force GM to fix this crap or earna bad name for themselves. The more people that know about this, the more likely we can get **** done!
