my offer of free beer so far has no confirmed takers from the cobalt or gto crowd... damnit

 

Your car is not an SS/SC, get over it.

 

I might. I have a NAWZ purge kit and bottle heater I want to put on today but I hate wiring and it depends if a friend of mine feels like coming over to help me with it.

 

i know i wish it was but i dont think my son would liek the twin loop

 

Fixed!

 

You know, if you guys go for that ultrasound in a few weeks and the tech comes back with "Congratulations - it's a girl!" I expect to see her on Oprah one day...and/or she's going to have a sex change since it'll be so much easier to explain why her dad refers to her as his "son."

 

Well, I should say improved handling goat. I easily took a few on ramps yesterday and today at least 15mph faster than before. I have the front swaybar set to full stiff, which is approx. 66% more firm than stock. Combined with the heavy duty endlinks with poly bushings, the new struts and shocks, and a nice alignment, this car actually turns in much better without much lean and just holds the line. But it actually rides more smoothly than stock right now. Little bumps feel more comfortable, but the bigger dips and potholes feel more firm, so I can actually feel the self adjusting shocks do their thing.

I need to talk to my dealer to see if they're going to warranty the strut and strut mount. I have all the stock parts to show them, and I'm pretty sure Pete from Pedders suspension will vouch for the failed parts. My rear radius rod bushings are already cracking at only 6,000 miles, something Pete hadn't seen before, but he said that GM states these are non-serviceable bushings, so I may see if the dealer will replace both of my control arms under warranty.

 

anybody saying maybe for tonight... ill check back around 5 or so... if theres no confirmed im not going down by my self

 

Sorry man, I wish I could make it to some of these Fuddruckers meets, but it's too long of a drive and I usually can't get out of work early.

 

we need to talk about getting my TCM done one day.. we can discuss it over beer... sloppy slow shifts suck!

 

yeah well the wife will shoot me

 

So wait./.. BJ got another cobalt??? Or am I missing something?

Me=old

 

No, still has the MS6

 

Al and I are breaking into Dave's garage after work today to install fun things in my car and his. Call if interested.

 

Did someone say beer

 

I got a case and a half of yuengling in my car that needs a new home

 

I'll adopt it.

 

I'll abuse it

Pop its head off
and drink all of it's internal fluids

the yuengling that is

 

Nah, that's not abuse.

Leaving it in the trunk of the car in 90-degree heat... THAT would be alcohol abuse!

 

ewww, warm beer

 

I'm still alive, and still at the beach At least till Sat, far as I know.

Nicest car yet is the 430 Modena and a Carrera GT. Countless 911s, a few 911 Turbos. Three new Z06s. A skyline. Coupla Bentlys...pretty much anything else is Merc or BMW.

And still the Saturn turns heads, cause no one knows WTF it is.

 

Good times tonight. Got the boost/vacuum and trans temp gauges working 100% now. I'll check the CEL in the morning. Another portion of turbo-related setup done. All that's left before the big install is oil press. gauge and oil lines.

 

hmmmmm

Looks like everyone is having fun.

Have to try that one day.

end line

 

Brian whats up with the major depression lately. You seem gloomy as of recent? Cheer up

 

no no no... I'm in a great mood. Really. Just not been doing much other than work lately.

All is well.
