I'd like to start something like this if there isn't one already.
Most of us get together for a cruise every once in a while when it starts to get warmer.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm currently in the process of completing the calipers. I painted them red, just waiting on the Brembo decals to arrive and then I can clearcoat them. In terms of modding, probably won't do TOO much. A couple of things that I really intend on doing is swapping the headlights for some 3rd Gen Projectors, and eventually putting in the Hahn CoolRam Intake. I'm really anticipating a GM Stage Kit sometime soon.
I agree with you though, I love this car so much. Best bang for the buck out there, in my opinion. I definitely want to be involved in these meets once the weather warms up. I'd like to get some advice and see what everyone else is doing to their cars. I've only seen 2 other Turbos in the Windsor area. One black with high rise out in Belle River, and I saw a black with low rise around the University one day. I see the Supercharged model a lot more.

Hey dude. I've seen you at the plaza on Manning & Tecumseh once. I was in the Red Mazdaspeed3.
I love the white btw, I think its the nicest colour by a milestone on that car.
Ususally, like mentioned before, we meet up and whatnot, go for cruises, photoshoots, etc..
Its fun times to be had..

As for upgrading the car, get an intake for sure, don't hesitate, you should have had it yesterday. An exhaust would help you, but not as much as a downpipe or high-flow cat. But the car is still warrantied, so don't mess that up. A nice Cold-Air will do just excellent. Get some new headlights for sure, why not? Other than that, enjoy the car dude!

Thanks man, I love the white too. I can't wait to see the finished product with red calipers. How do you like the Mazda Speed3? I wouldn't mind meeting up with you one of these days to see that thing. You had a S/C before, how does it compare?

I honestly love my car and I plan on keeping it for quite some time. The difference between the two cars to be honest are not comparable. Mine is a 4-door, Cobalt 2. I have more room and stuff, and its what I needed.
Driving wise, I feel the MS3 is stronger than my Cobalt in pretty much everything, all but the gearing, I loved the Cobalts 5-speed to my 6-speed unit.
There are a lot of things I can go through haha but its dinner time and I can't think right now lol..

I've been considering putting in the Gen3 projectors... but I don't want to sacrifice lighting either. I just don't see them being as bright as stocks without putting in a proper HID kit.
What do you think of the Gen3's?

yea you would probably have to go with a good HID setup. the bulbs they come with get too hot with extended driving and it makes the housing crack a little. the worst part with the gen3's is aiming. low beams are a pain as it is, you have to take the lights completely off the car to adjust them each time, and theres 5 different screwes to adjust them; 2 for low beams, and 3 for high. but still, well worth the looks. i swapped out the blue l.e.d.'s that came with it for red ones and i love how it looks. in the end, its up to you man. if u want them with the HID's included, i would check this out

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/supporting-vendor-deals-group-purchases-133/3rd-gen-projectors-%24190-anti-glare-mod-156228/

i can show u them at the next meet if u want. hopefully ill have a few more things done to my car.... swapping out the low rise for the high rise, and puttin on the front lip

Very nice car, my friend. I would've got a white one if they had offered it on the SS/SC's when I got mine.

Darren, that's because you're a forum troll, you can't help it. And you know you're always welcomed at any meet we have even though you changed teams.

By the way I think I saw the person who bought your cobalt today. I kinda got a glimpse of the Cobaltss.net sticker on the window. I waved and they waved back. I don't think we've had a meet with them yet either.

We should get a BBQ going next time we have another good couple of sunny days.

Spotted Bojan today at the gym, well at least his car in the parking lot..."meathead"

Frank...that was not my car, some chick from Collingwood has my car. But, I have seen a yellow SS/SC around with the same sticker.

I will definately join you guys for a BBQ this summer, but I'm not hosting anymore...LOL!
