i get a clunk randomly.. (yes actually randomly) i'll b e going totally straight with no bumps.. clunk.. hit a huge bump nothing.. it some small bumps clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk make a turn nothing.. make another turn the same direction.. clunk lol it really doesnt make sense hopefully everything will get set after the next week and my boost leak and suspension will be fixed

 

thanks for the backup but yea thats 100 % accurate..

however

car went into the shop today for some work

zzp 78lb valve springs
spec stg 3 clutch
lk9 ported (slightly) intake manifold
and hopefully fixed suspension ( probably CABS as well as sway bar bushings and rack mounts)
as well as fixing my boost leak

so hopefully when i get back from vegas in a week i'll have a car i can dd again

 

Wow! that was everlasting, I read the whole thread took me 3hours...LOL! now can I get some info on getting a Pro-Charger for my 2.2L cobalt? I'm NA and with all my goodies I'm Probably @ about 180-190 I 'm running 16Sec. flat @ the track here in "Lebanon Valley Drag`way". that was on a super hot and humid day. check out my YouTube vids'. Search "Albino Skunk".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3qyyDIWK4Q

 

KYLE is A FGT!

 

yes i am a fgt.. and i dont have my car back.. some things haven't been received by the shop yet RAWR

if youre very interested in getting a procharger on your cobalt we can work with speed mafia to get you a bracket and work on getting everything all set..

what do you have done to your car ? 180-190 isn't happening to the wheels without cams headwork, full bolt ons and a tune

 

is your car done yet? how long does it take to put a engine together :p

 

apparently a while when parts are missing lol

 

Whats missing? Prob gunna star collecting stuff for my build...hoping to knock it out in a weekend

 

my tob was missing lol

soo i got the car back LK9 manifold is in.. took a bit more modifying then expected, valve cover painted satin black looks nice, CAB's in, clutch is in. car feels great.. valve springs didn't go in though.. however i'm working on getting that fixed. only problem is i still have missing boost :'( its gotta be a leak.. but idk where from .. going to pressure test the system next.. and if that doesn't show anything then :'( lol

pics soon

spec clutch grabs like a son of a bitch though.. i feel like i gotta relearn how to drive the car lol.. i've stalled like 2 or 3 times lol and i'm bucking first a bit.. it's like.. an on off switch thats ok though

 

thats how my exedy was for the first 2000 miles, until i got the zzp adjustable rod

 

haha yea .. oh well i'll get used to it.. sick though lol ******* snaps my neck everytime cuz right now it's hot as hell so my car gets tractions lol so instead of spinning straight through it's like .. PULLLLLL SNAP PULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SNAP lol

right now i just wanna find out wtf is up with my leak.. i'm going to get some belt dressing tomorrow see if that helps.. i dont THINK i have slip but it's worth a shot .. I noticed today that I stop hearing my SC over 5k .. and thats where i'm losing boost.. so it IS possible it's slip

 

so did you ever dyno this ******* car?

 

yea ages ago lol it put down 252 whp and 209 wtrq on 7 psi currently i'm having an issue with boost dropping off after 5k so i did dyno it but the numbers were **** lol once i get the issue fixed then i'mm going to redyno

 

just wondering if you had current numbers.

 

nope :'( soon though.. i'm looking forward to it though

 

Soon as in?

 

soon as in soon as i get the missing boost fixed.. no reason to dyno again.. imean it'll tell me if there were any gains with just the intake manifold but i think thats a waste of 75 bux

well i found a bit of boost back today.. apparently my blower was getting choked by just running a screen so i need to make a real intake now

 

ordered dunlop direzza z1 star specs will be in tomorrow or thursday

going out to clean up some of my vacuum lines now

 

Are those better then your Falkins?

 

according to car and drive and alot of people yes.. they have better wet traction and heat up slightly faster

supposedly the RT615K's are better then both however being im picking up the dirrezza's and dont have to pay shipping they work out being significantly cheaper so being i'm kinda broke lol thats the way i'm going lol

 

How much are the dunlops per tire?

 

135 for 225 45 17 where the rt615ks are 170 about per tire
