Well I went to Nelson Ledges yesterday. It was a blast except my clutch master cylinder went out about halfway through the day. AAA to the rescue. At first I thought it was the clutch but after checking my service manual it looks like the cylinder. It seems to be a common problem with 5 speed cobalts. This will give me a chance to put in my ZZP adjustable rod also. I had fun running and they even gave me a rain check for a half day. Got the car over 130 several times in the back straight. Didnt want to push it too much as I am a Noob at road racing.

For anyone interested, there is an Autocross at Jeannette/Greensburg (known to locals as Boquet Airport) tomorrow. It is an airport event, so the speeds are much higher than a typical autocross, and it should be a blast.

I can get them singles actually, at the moment it's 6.99 retail. Depending on how many you want I might be able to swing it to beat that online price.

Search Results

Many to choose from.

Edit: Link isn't working. I went to car-part.com, put in '07 LT, picked the center lower grill, put in zip, and about 1,439 places within 10 miles popped up. 20 bucks and up. When I hauled salvage, I used to take these cars to yards all the time. Every junkyard probably has a few to choose from.

eBay is your best bet if you don't want to go through a salvage yard, or check out what Morad has.

I've seen the blue ones, but never a blueish-purplish one.

Me either. I just wish I could find more job leads. Getting so tired of job hunting constantly.
