inb4jonsays"warranty"

Jon my car was trifecta tuned at 5,000 km's and has gone into warranty several times, always getting my parts replaced.

 

I just got back from a little drive and seems like I've fixed the problem. There is a small insert on the cable itself under the engine bay. It was unclipped and loose. I put it back and it clicked into place and put the grommet back. If this holds up for the next couple of days I can see me being fine with the way it's shifting.

I just hope my cables aren't shot cause I'd hate to have to spend $200 on something that shouldn't of broke.

I think STS would be best for me cause I'm probably not responsible enough to handle more power. I also have drive train warranty till July so I wouldn't want to screw that up. Also would like to hit up the 1/4 mile at least once to have a baseline of what real performance mods will make.

Haha that was me thinking out loud.

(edit) Lol. Projekt mentioning the warranty thing. Wasn't up when I started to type out my post.

 

Don't waste money on a STS.

Go buy a catless downpipe (or if you care about the enviroment a high flow catted downpipe)

 

I bought GMS1 before I even had my car for two months - You could still ORDER a Cobalt SS
At the time, there was no HPT, only the 'superchips' tuner iirc;

If someone is apprehensive about being "safe" and not voiding any standing warranty, GMS1 is the only way to go.

These days if you're going to tune, I'd still say upgrading the MAPs is a good move, I'd also advocate buying the CED plug & play connectors so that there's no problems down the road associated with crappy connections...

It's not two sentances, but as close as you're going to get out of me.

 

Time to ditch the heaton then lol

 

im all for that but i might as well kill the heaton before i do...... im liking the 2.7 so far.... also my temps are under control even without revised tune.... cool mountain air FTMFW!!!!! i bet a tvs would be orgasmic here.....

 

umm, seriously...

where's your car now?

I've understood that since tuning, you've had one problem after another - which is why you were going back to stock...

I'm now over 90,000km, no issues (knock on wood), no SES, and since tuning I've had no cause to go back to the dealer for service work...

I've sat back, watched and learnt through other's (posted) experiences...

 

Where's my car now? parked outside driving fine.

Of course you will run into problems when you push something to its limits. I didn't ***** foot around my car waiting for others to try things. Im included in the people you sat back and watched, If you recall i was the first one to test/dyno Infiniboost.

And no, i haven't had one problem after another Jon. I've had one problem that i have fixed. Reason I’m going back to stock is because i don't give a single fck about cobalt’s anymore, I've owned cobalts longer then you have been writing articles for readers digest

Back to point. You suggest the best way to mod a ss/tc is

GMS1
Aftermarket downpipe
Aftermarket tune.

Very general statement Jon. And i strongly disagree with you.

Please don't go around preaching this to other SS/TC members, Some of them don't have endless pockets like you apaprently do.

 

Ha. Jon I'm thinking the guys just like to get you worked up, I wouldn't take it personally.

 

+2 interweb points to the rookie.

I sense someones jims are getting very rustled

 

 

Shifter ordered. Invoice should be sent out in the morning. This is my first online purchase ever.

 

Booooooooooo

 

And now I find a set of SC rims with garbage tires that would be perfect for winter rims. Timing always sucks for me. Lol.

 

I have a set of retros and tinted tail lights I am looking to sell.
I also have matching fog HIDs.
Headlights come with two different sets of bulbs and ballasts 6 and 8k and 35 and 55 watt ballasts. The fogs come with two sets as well. I have allot of money into this set up pm me if your intrested ill make you a good deal.

 

 

Well congrats but boo!!! waste of money unless you've invested in the performance where you will see the benefit. But hey to each their own.

 

ETA on your wheels Mike?

 

nope, please re-read my post.

it's all good

this isn't the first time I've seemed to rile him up;
the irony is that in his last post, he's misquoted me - which would make a profound difference.

I will continue to offer my advice, as i always have.



You want some LSJ wheels?
What's this great price you found??

 

this is key.

 

pics of said wheels please

 

they're a page or three back

 

This week or early next week due to the holidays!

Cluelessk! Which STS did you get?

 

i likey..... hope you got gun metal?

 

I went with the BPS. Seemed like the best bang for your buck. Also like that I can use the stock knob and don't have to pay ridiculous amounts for a new one.

Still waiting for BPS to send me an invoice though. Think I might pm them soon.
