well taking it out and putting it back in was not the hardest part....a lot to it but fairly easy.( i should mention i had my buddy doing most of the harder **** because he worked at his dads mechanic shop for many years) but getting this thing bled was hell. ended up just taking it to the stealership and they charged me 144 to just bleed the ****. but it still shifts hard as hell so no track for me until we figure out whats going on with it

 

[QUOTE=dvscobaltSS;3638056]track already open i think opening day was the 14th.... i might go this weekend. i am pretty sure a couple buddys of mine might be going but i will let you know....QUOTE]

ok for sure just let me know i just put new tires on so ill see how that goes

 

DVSCobalt:
Hey, who makes your new clutch? I don't recall your ever saying. Is it an Excedy single type? Or maybe a double vane clutch? I want to change also-only I need to find one that is evenly streetfriendly !

The bleeding does sound a bit frustrating...I'd be pulling my hair out by then.

 

i went with spec stage 2+ kinda with i would have gone with excedy one but that extra 300 dollars was what kept me from getting it....i will be going to the track sat. if anyone want to go. i will just be watching as i only have 150 miles on this new clutch

 

good idea man **** messing it up from the start

 

yeah i am going to break it in nice and good. its starting to get aa little better to shift and found a leak coming from what looks like the master cylinder. i hate stealerships....i know they fucked it up so i would take it back into them and also now my cruise control doesnt work...man i really hate dealerships

 

WTF? thats some bullshit sadly is i know how much you will have to fight them about it

 

i am not even going to try. i will try and fix it myself...knowing them they will **** something else up again

 

So, did any of you ABQ balts get together? Weather's been pretty shitty the past week. I work nights so getting to the track is simply a bitch since it's only open from like 10am-4pm. If ya'll havnt gotten together we should actually get a meet set up.

 

No meet yet. Come on I work nights too...that's what's great about. You have all day to do things. All nighters are the best ha ha ha

 

**** ya i remember working the night shifts. loved it

 

So is anyone heading to the track today? It is going to be cold as **** but me and DVS will be there.

 

Hell no. I sleep from 6:30am to 2pm. Track is currently open from 10am to 4pm. No way am I going to lose sleep to race in the cold. Colder the ground the more your tires are gonna spin, mate. can't wait till may when it's open till midnight. Then i'll be going probably once a month. Whenever I go I'll let you guys know like a week or two in advance so maybe we can meet up etc.

 

Well went out there and weather was pretty damn nice. Just watch but blab made some pretty good times....bad ass cars there running 8's 9's and 10's. Over all fun as hell and met up with one other cobalt that went. nice to meet you mark hopefully we can get a good meet together sometime

 

Yeah, it really did end up being quite gorgeous outside today -_- Ended up toting my girlfriend around all day. But oh well. She just got back from texass and her LT is traaaaaaashed. Like... I'm going to need a power washer and a dump truck to get the poor thing clean.

What kind of balt are you running and what times did you have?

 

No balts ran today...blab has an str4 his best run was a 13.5 at 108 I think

 

Hey Dan!
Just took off that vac. tube and blocked it as you instructed-going out to test it now at 4:30 (16:30 to the Mil crowd). You available today?

 

hey sorry i didnt go i had to work 8 to 6 on saturday but let me know like a week in advance next time and ill get the day off to go

Thanks Dan it was easy. I did enjoy reading about possible consequences.

 

i have been running with it off for a few years now. just put it back if you take it in to stealership for warrenty stuff they will never know

 

is there any autocross events in town, I would like to check'm go to them out, (as a spectator for now, I'm wuss, I know)

how many cobalt owner do you know in town, that are car people, lol

 

the 21st in Farmington that Saturday and Sunday will kick off the first SCCA event for the season here. It is also a National SCCA race so will be well attended. if you want to see what it's all about-and see a Cobalt in the hunt, you could drive out there.
locally you have the PCA and the RSW, or Porsche Club/America and Racing Southwest sites to Google.
So long,
maddog
