wow... what a shock... BJ selling another one of his cars....

He should just work at a dealer and drive demos...

 

No, this was his old SS/SC not a new one. LOL since the SS there's been the RSX, the MS6, now the Si......but it's been a few months so he might have something new. Kid arrives this month so he might go for like an SRT-8 Jeep or something.

Actually.............wasn't he going to buy an EVO a few months back?

 

The kid is here and hes back to his ms6................he can fit the car seat in it

 

LOL that guy and his cars. Well congrats to the two of them on the baby!

 

car seat is 1 reason he went back 2 the ms6 another is cuz they make a kit for those now with the upgraded turbo he said it will give him close to 400

 

Hehehe, would this be why you're looking for 400 out of the Balt? (Which, by the way, is gonna take an engine build and a turbo swap plus more)

 

Yeah, it's nothing to get 400+ on the SRT4, but for the balt's motor..... that's going to take some work.

and someone who knows what they're doing.

 

I one day hope to get 400hp out of my car.... oh wait......
yea yea yea I know

 

So Dan, you got a set of Long tubes on that car now??

Should be getting close to 400RWHP then right?

 

Yea iv had them on for a few weeks. Im sitting from 370-380 whp right now.
I also have something coming that is 238/242.....

 

so basically its not impossible i just need about 5k and that will get the job done?

 

Wellllllllllllllllllllllll. I don't know that anyone has hit 400 yet. $5k is pretty low. I think the people that are attempting about that level are dumping closer to $10k.

 

5K will get you the Turbo swap you need and then some, it's all the supporting mods that are gonna kill you.

 

The axles are almost a grand in themselves.

 

wow thats alot.................its gonna be decent this weekend you guys gonna go run around anywhere this weekend?

 

I think if you are serious about 400, you are probably looking at a return fuel system, which wont be cheap. Last time i checked Hahn was the only one working on a return style. Dont know if he ever brought it out for sale or not. Although, i thnk pazz did one on his when he turbo'd it...

 

does anyone have recommendations on brake pads/rotors? i'm looking for ceramic pads, non-slotted/drilled rotors. something reasonably cheap yet durable. my ss/sc is my daily so i don't need to be putting on race quality stuff but something durable and long lasting.

 

I don't know about pads, but Raybestos makes really good OEM-style rotors for half the price of GM. I run Hawk HPS pads, but those are on the racing end. But they're low dust, and they stop like hell. Plus they do not groove the rotors like the stock pads.

 

If you want cheapo disposables, go to Advanced or a Franks Auto Supermarket and buy the cheapest rotors and pads they have that come with a lifetime waranty. You wont have to pay for either ever again. I had a Z26 and then a Z24 and both were the same brakes and there was a span of about 4 years that i never put a dime into rotors or pads for either.

 

yeah yeah you and your cam.... does it actually exist or are we gonna hear about how its coming for another 2 months

 

Nope. Stock fuel system just with larger injectors. Hahn does the return fuel system with an FPR to allow for "fine tuning" on their 2.4L Cobalt turbo kit.

 

Ah. Wasnt sure if you had done one or not.

 

When did I say it was going to come, jan at the earliest maybe, learn to listen. And thats just like the job you were going to get and the aps kit that was coming right?

 

I ran cheap Raybestos rotors from Auto supermarket and when I bought them, it was 70 each for fronts, and 48 for rears...

I bought a set of Satisfied Brakes' Pro-Ceramic line from Pep-boys for everyday use and they worked great. I even used them on a couple Autocrosses. I got 30K miles out of the pads. No squeaks, no chatter, no squeals.

I think it was 50-80 for all 4 wheels ( pads ).



BTW GUYS!

Just wanted to wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas

Be careful out there coming from parties and keep all 4 tires on the ground

 

dont start throwing personal attacks for no reason dan.
