Need input on my build idea
Ok so as soon as i get back from basic training i will begin to build my cobalt up to be a track friendly car. Here is a list of the parts that im going to buy and i would like if you gave your input on what my choices are.
Spec Stage 3 clutch (stage 3 cuz i like a car with a harsh engagment)
Spec flywheel
SSBC big break kit and rear conversion kit
RK Sport carbon fiber hood and trunk
RK Sport lip kit
Eagle Rods and new pistons
Full Roll Cage
Hahn Racecraft Turbo kit
Steel Brake lines
Highflow Cat
Thats where im going to start....im sure more will come
As for what i have already.....
TWM Shortshift
Blacked out tailights and new headlights
Vibrant cat-back exhaust
Eibach Springs
Lighting and interior mods
Built my own intake
Like i said .... let me know what you think. I expect to spend close to $10,000 when im all done.

I forgot to mention that I also have 17" Motegi Rims that are needed because of the brakes. Yeah i am in the Air Force but i dont leave untill this comming monday. It will probably be about June before i can start workin on the car. Durring tech school i will have internet access and i will be buying parts then. They should be at my house when i come home on leave.
Auto x for sure. I am one class away from obtaining my SCCA license

id get new mounts also and if ya like zzp 3.0 downpipe with magnaflow highflow cat as you already have the vibrant catback which i am assuming is the 3.0 one?? there is two out there..
Also gauges if ya want, like boost, oil pressure, tranny temp, wideband..
Also a Big Thanks for supporting our country
