i already linked you to the turbo, but to look again goto www.tntautosport.com


The turbo will net you over 200+whp and it has been PROVEN to beat Stage 2 SS/SC's.

However, you cannot do an engine swap without messing everything up...the computers are way to touchy...you possibly could get away with it by using an AEM standalone, but thats $1k+ right there..


I mean dude, you get a free car....then you wanna make it fast..which is cool......but dont go callin your car **** and blah blah blah.....if your dad really hated you, he woulda bought you an Aveo LS and welded the windows shut... (and they dont have air conditioners standard).

What kind of box and amp are you going to put in? Just from experience before you buy a box make sure you can fit it in the trunk. Mine was a PITA due to my nitrous bottle back when I had it. Do some shopping and research before just dumping money. My setup ran me around $360 for the subs, amp, wiring. It hits hard enough for me not to listen to loud music for long. My whole audio setup ran me over $1,000.

Tints? It is not a plural word. Tint...singular only. Find a reputable shop to do this. My local shop did mine for around $200 and I have 5% rear and 20% rest. I've gotten a written tint violation warning so if you want to look cool be prepared for tickets. Check your local tint laws before making that decision.

Headlights...I got mine off eBay and they are awesome. They fit decent for a eBay product, yet they do not fog up like most. I paid around $220 shipped.


Body kits and all...well before you buy I recommend you save up $600-$1,200 just for paint labor before you purchase a kit. Get one that flows with the car and get it painted before you go cruising through town.

www.cobaltaddiction.com has a alright list of body modifications. Really only site I've looked at due to only thing I did was change my front bumper from without fog lights to with fog lights. Also, if you get a SS S/C front bumper or these aftermarket front bumpers get the whole kit. Different body lines if you just get a front bumper then it will look tacky.

well... i could answer this one .... im going to be installing a 75 wet shots kit on my balt..." thus making my car faster then an ss/sc stock.." ur best bet is to go that that route till further tuning comes out for the 2.2l... then go turbo.. the engine is good form 25o hp on stock internals according to the gm build book.. and trust me 75 shot will get you close but not there... the books its self calls of 50 shots and another power adder of the forced induction kind.. but if u do 75 shots with out a turbo or supercharger then you still are safe... and in the future you can bump down to 50 shots when you install a turbo

btw ur cobalt isnt slow.... its a slowbalt..

Not to put down the 2.2 guys or anything but there is only one semi impressive 1/4 mile time that you just listed...

1.)roccityroller 15.60@86.87mph w/2.35 60',coupe, manual
3.)07cobaltkid,15.35@88.28mph w/2.22 60'coupe,manual,I/E/ST
3.)YellowLT,15.34@89.55 w/2.29 60'coupe,manual,I/E/ST

BTW the stocker would easily beat anything from the USA or Japan 26 years ago. Its about 1/2 second faster than a 1981 Corvette or 280ZX Turbo.

It's really not even that slow...The 2.2 cobalts are the fastest stock 4 bangers in it's category. Civics, etc.

he should get a Sprinter,, like in Initial D. nah nevermind, that would shame the car. they should've bought him a Kia

lol i would have KILLED to have a car bought for me.

i worked and bought my first car a 94' s-10 for 1G... then yea beat the **** out of it cause well NOONE drives great when they first stat(i also got it 4 foot off the ground from a ramp but hey i was a dumb kid).

my point is great you have the LT learn how the car feels and where it is on the road. then in a year or 2 or even 3 if you want to get a ss/sc or whatever version they might replace it with then you will have a better feel for the car and it will be that much more fun to drive.

i had a 1990 beretta GT and i drove the **** out of it. i knocked the muffler completely off when i went airborn on a back road going abou 75mph. i waited a while to put a new one on because it sounded pretty badass haha. my first vehicle was an 89 astrovan. a big white astrovan. my friends called it the rape-mobile. i was dumb and neutral dropped it at least 6 times a week and eventually blowed up the engine. the point is i payed for both.

Helltime

I had to buy my balt, I have been driving everyday since i got my permit when i was 14 (i am almost 17) and i even had a school license which i abused (drove around at lunch) and the first car i OWNED was bought for me...it was a $275 POS, 89 acura legend. Ran good but the tranny was crap, no a/c, backseat was tore up and it was rusted in the typical places. when it was cold outside ( 45 degrees F or colder) it would not shift out of second til it was warmed up. I beat the hell out of that car, i tryed to blow the engine (i thought i succeeded once) but then i sold it, drove my dad's 93 dakota 4x4 with the 318 in it, yeah tires with only 8k miles on them were almost shot when i got done (my dad traded it on something else so he didn't care) then i drove my parent's 01 civic EX (5 speed) It was slow as hell. I just bought my brand new cobalt. It is bare basic but i respect it alot more than anything else i have driven that was "practically" mine. I think your dad made a mistake buying you a car like this, he should have bought you a pos early 90s geo metro 3 cylinder auto, then you would appreciate a cobalt a hell of alot more. You get a brand new car handed to you and are not happy...sad.
