so a black 2009 cobalt ss with low rise popped up in margate, fl that is lowered on sportlines has a eibach rear sway bar, bov recirc'd to the intake, and alcohol injection. does anybody know who owned this car? also how many ppl have actually ran alcohol without any problems?

 

does he mean Meth?

 

you are right it is meth. it says alcoholinjectionsystems.com which threw me off but it is meth duhh

oh it also has charge pipes but they look to be custom, stock intake box tho

 

Methanol is alcohol you obv can't drink it...lol

 

I understand that, but its not commonly refered toas alcohol, its commonly known as meth. Case in point, the OP got it after he realized it was "Meth"

 

im probably goin down there tomorrow to go check it out. if i buy this thing, how hard would it be to get warranty work done if needed?

 

I run meth with no problems

 

as hard as it is to take off all the parts.

Grab the vin, and go down to a local dealer and have them run it, make sure its not red flagged or any odd service done to it if your really worried, or maybe someone with dealerwolrd here can run it for you.

 

methyl alcohol = methanol = highly toxic
ethyl alcohol = ethanol = DRUNK

 

alright the vin is 1G1AP18X697247611. if someone could run it that would be appreciated

 

Just noticed this car pop up on ebay. I wouldn't even consider the car without talking with the previous owner. Who knows what the hell was done to it or taken off.

 

2009 CHEVROLET Cobalt 2dr Cpe SS - south florida autos for sale - backpage.com

i wouldn't buy that car

 

explain?

 

rigged with a boost controller. has an aftermarket wideband even though it has a wideband already from factory. just looks like the person didn't know much about the car and did the old school turbo stuff. i bet you that turbo surges like no other

 

blazin how far are you from that dealer?

i wish i had someone knowledgeable to look at it. i know the essentials of turbo cars but i cant diagnose turbo surge or if its running lean or misfiring. ive been looking for a ss/tc to buy for over a month now with no luck and im getting tired of not having a car!

 

i am about 45 minutes from that dealership.

this one looks cleaner and i think is a little closer to you

yeah ive seen that one up in orange park. only thing is that its yellow...

im going to drive down to margate tomorrow and test drive it. what should i look for? i bet the clutch is toast...

 

Do a pull in 3rd and 4th starting at like 2,000 rpm to help test for clutch slip. Watch the boost guage to see what psi it is running and if the guage flutters. Like it spikes to ?? and holds ??. Meth and a manual boost controller is a red flag for high boost.

 

damn...i thought you were offering to buy me alcohol if i bought your ride. I was about to go rob a bank...

 

alright ill watch the boost gauge like a hawk and test for clutch slip. anything else to check for to see if all was done right? if everything was built and tuned right, this would be a really fun ride. im counting on you guys to determine whether i should buy it.

 

bump im leaving in an hour to go look at it. wish me luck!!!!

 

its sunday tho, autotrader said the car was no longer listed so i couldnt tell if its a dealer or private seller, but dealerships are closed on sundays, unless florida is different than illinois wen it comes to those type of things.
