after our disastrous outing at atco raceway a week ago... finally got my car back from gm and started tearing it up last night.... here's whats left.
(Another big thanks to Kenny from www.cobalt-addiction.com )

 

I"ll post pics of the broken axles in a bit
on a side note only took about an hour and a half to do..
not bad when you have the right tools

 

What the hell happened to the radiator? I don't remember you saying anything about that.

 

Thats a nice radiator ya got there. OOOOPPPPPPSSSSS

 

my guess is he grounded out.

 

Nah a friend of mine thought it would be a good idea to jack the car up from the front corssmember when I wasn't paying attention... heard and bang... and thats the outcome

 

I am guessing he was looking for GM Warranty and did not get any? now he is fixing it himself? I did not see other threads on this.

 

but good news... getting a custom 2-3 row rad made up for the car that c/a should be selling after this for those that run an aftermarket front mount h/e with or with out a/c

 

Wow....

 

Well now it's time to rebuild.

 

Yes indeed it is.... can't wait for my parts

 

Damn that thing must have a tight turning radius, damn near 90* on that front passanger side. Jk Good luck with all that.

 

Thanks

 

well at least my balt wont be lonely anymore. LOL

 

YUP... joined your car on the lift of shame..... hahahaha j/k
hopefully have everything together friday night.... I miss my car

 

at least he only wiped out the rad and not you HE's

 

yeah... that was the first thing I checked... got lucky there.... I guess... poor car... it doesn't even know what I'm gonna do to it once its fixed

 

I feel your pain bro. I've had my car down for over 3 months total, and as of next month I'll have had the car only a year! The huge CM clutch ordeal, a driveshaft, destroyed engine, and headgasket on the new engine!

 

damn bro.... mines only been down a week and ahalf and my car just turned 5 month old... I'll be doing headgasket and studs soon myself before I blow it up...

 

Needless to say my girlfriend has been extremely patient and understanding. I will tell you it's great when I get to drive it though because it gets faster all the time! I'm not nearly as fast as many on here, but I get my jollies. Especially since I've done all my own work with assistance of a friend or two from time to time. When I return from my deployment, she'll be getting some serious power upgrades though since now the car is prepped well for more power minus the stock axles.

 

I hear ya man... I've been doin all my own installs too... along with doing half the other cobalts out here... so I"ve gotten to know the ins and outs of this car pretty damn good now... can't wait to see you car in action... gotta get some footage when you get back... I should have some good video from the track next week as long as it all goes back together by then

 

well... my guy came this morning and picked up my stock axles... new ones being made should have em by next mon or tues.... then taking photos of all the broken ones I can find and sending them to GM

 

What is the power rating for the new axles?

 

Screw GM. I can't wait for your car to be fixed again. It should be a beast.

On a side note, I ordered the 2.6 pulley and injectors. I can't wait to save up for Kenny's twincharged kit lol. Who knows, maybe one day I will. I will be heading up there again soon though since I will need a tune and my snout shaved.

 

hey just let me know... and I'll get everything ready for you... well pending completion of my custom radiator... my driveshaft shop axles should hopefully be here soon... and I'll probably grab inhales rad for now just to get my car going again....
new axles should be rated to at least 550 hp... if not more.... I'll have those next monday or tues....
I just can't wait to get my car back to the track... hopefully oct 1st if all goes well with my parts coming in...
