ya...sorry Jeff. I don't check the forums that much anymore. I replied to your PM and gave you my number. And the shop is over in Braddock. 30 seconds away from the Rankin Bridge.

Not much.

Working in the shop all weekend. Doing a dual pass / option B install on a SC car, and hopefully working on some new ductwork for my car tomorrow.

ah nice.. do you own a shop or an employee at one?

I actually hopped on here for a couple things..

First one, a couple days ago my car popped a CEL, codes were p0068 and p2228 and gave me a "reduced engine power" message on the display. after some research i found it was having to do with sensors.. i removed a couple sensors and cleaned them, all seems well, CEL is gone. Another possibility was however that my air filter may have been too damp.. causing too much moisture in the intake. Do you guys run hydro shields with all the rain here? I never had a CEL like this before in TX, but it also never rained there.

The other is that i have a couple parts i dont want. im done modding the car and these last few parts will probably never go on. i have some Bwoody traction bars, and a progress rear sway bar. Both are never used and include all the hardware. im willing to sell them for 50 each, or 75 if you take both. The traction bars were $150 and rear sway bar was also like $150 when i bought them.

Funny story, I just saw your car driving around Mt. Lebo. Was riding along with my dad in their HHR rental though, haven't taken the Cobalt out at all since Wednesday.

I am getting a little irritated that its calling for rain this weekend for the Peformance and Style show at Carlisle.

Hopefully the rain stays away, I don't mind the clouds.

Will be heading to PRP with a few guys on Thursday.

Just picked up an AirLift setup so I don't need to keep doing footballs.

Haha. Yea. I had to run to the airport for something, then was headed out to see Celldweller last night. Car definitely stands out a bit.



And yeah, I hope P&S is better this year. The weather sucked last year. I will have my car on display in my boss's space, at the mobile dyno rig all weekend.


As far as the question about my shop, i just have a place out of the garages on my house where I work on stuff. Ive pretty much had cobalts completely apart and back together, heh. Done an engine swap, supercharger install, AC install, and lots and lots of suspension work for people, haha.
