You should throw the screwed up rim on your car and put a nail hole in and get the whole thing replaced.

 

I was thinking of trying that but the other guy noticed I had a spare on at the incident so I don't wanna chance it

 

So I asked MPI to advise Drhook to call me before they try loading up my car so I can be sure it is done safely.
Come outside of my work and find them loading up my car with the intercooler firmly gouged into the ramps.
Having a great couple weeks here!

 

Wow you have the worst luck I have ever heard of!
How bad is the intercooler?

 

I've had such good luck with this car up until just this month.
IC is just scratched on bottom, couldnt see any cracks or breaks, but I couldnt really get a good look at it. Took pictures

 

What did the tow truck guy have to say about it?

 

He was very considerate actually. I took pictures and got his information in case it's cracked.
I doubt it is

 

Wow! What a great week your having

!

 

Hey, I recently bought a 2008 Cobalt Sport 2.4L I'm looking at doing mods to the car and was wondering if anyone knew a good mechanic that can do the install of the mods. Im not a mechanic lol I wish I could but right now don't know enough to do anything.
Im also looking at getting new rims any good sites that do cost a fortune after shipping and other taxes.

thanks in advance

 

Welcome!

You want mods installed, I'm your guy

 

Welcome! What sort of mods do you want to do?

 

Welcome
Yeah bluelightning can take care of your modification needs. Depending on what you want to do a few people on here know what's going on if you have questions.

Discount tire and the tire rack are both pretty good. Or locally speed factor seems pretty reasonable.

 

Looking for new exhaust cold air intake possibly a turbo maybe if its not too costly and lowering it not sure how much lower our streets aren't the best for lowered cars.
I'm also having problems taking my panels off to replace the stereo any suggestions on how I can get them off without breaking them.

Thanks. Mike

 

Ya I remember the first time I took off the dash panels on my car. It can be a little scary because they are clipped on super tight. If up I know where the clips are you can pry on them with a flat blade screw driver. But otherwise just pull haha. They won't break.

 

Yeah they sound super cheap and fragile but they are Surprisingly strong.
If you want to go a bit lower you can either get Lnf springs and shocks (wont be much lower but will be a handling improvement)
Or get pedders (what blue lightning is current on) a more expensive route would be ZZP yyz springs. They are higher quality.

 

I'm on Progress Springs brah. And those YYZ springs are by Powell.

 

Have cm springs Im wanting to install, but dont have the tools to do it. If one of you guys can install them for me, let me know. Ill pay you whatever you think is fair.

 

Yeah I'm drunk leave me alone. But yeah Powell is what I meant but ZZP is what I was thinking about haha.

I thought you had pedders for sure... Nevermind.

 

For 500 Jordan will compress the springs manually for you. He is a beast...

 

Some guy on the Facebook group had another member do it in shop class at his school. Dunno if I'd trust highschool kids working on my car though.

I think eventually I wanna go with YYZ springs. Only spring that is actually proven to be better than stock handling wise. I also don't want to be "slammed" either. It's not practical.

Anyway I bought some tires. They're old but have tons of tread left. Only have one issue. It's not actually that bad and it lays flat. I just pulled it down for the pic.


Lots of tread left. I don't car if they're not the greatest tire and not planning to run them for more then a summer.

 

 

wheres the best places to buy springs?

 

Used on the cobalt classifieds IMO.

Otherwise it depends what brand you want as there are several.

 

Here check this out for lowering ideas

I narrowed it down to 3 kinds B&G, H&R, or progress springs looks like progress is the ones due to our great winnipeg streets. would the B&G or H&R be too low for winter ?
