Meh... even though I finally killed the wheel bearings @ 73,000 miles.

It was so worth chasing down this older Porche who gave me the middle finger lol.
Afterwards he was like wtf... I wasn't expecting a Cobalt to be catching up to me haha.

I havn't drifted the cobalt around turns at 50-60mph in a long long time... Stupid 215s aren't cutting it... every turn I had to brake into, that damn Porche just let off the gas going into the turn, and gunned it out.

On a side note... car's running pig rich 10.8 afr w/ 15* of spark on a 2.6 lol.

Ahhh... nothing like the sound of a high revs in 2nd, the blower, and a blasting loud exhaust going wot lol.

I am the tuner

I purposely made my off meth tune rich for the 2.6. DD tune
I don't like wasting meth thru the canyons, so I made a separate safe rich tune with it off.

Steve, it's Steve

Nah, to far... I would if it were something a bit more serious to install.

I just found a website that sells oem parts way cheaper than the dealership!

www.1aauto.com

Just ordered the front and left bearings and wheel hub assemblies for $280 shipped.
Dealership was selling me one for $240-260 depending on where I called!

rain + canyon runs = a huuge stopper on the amount of fun. Especially sdince all our locations are outdoors. I'm fine with delaying it...tho it sucks, but i'd rather have a dry canyon to run
