ill meet up later tonight if ya give me a call....like around 830ish-10ish

 

just give me a shout, im stepping out right now so if anyone wants to cruise just call my cell...

oh and that day that guy took a picture...he asked 1 of the kids there if my car was a cavalier..lol...funny eh?

 

lol i guess i never noticed it..what shaw building are we talking about cuz theres like 5 lol

 

any one going out sunday night ?

 

There are actually only 3... But they are all on the same lot. The only other Shaw building isn't a building at all, it's an outlet in the KP mall.
I park infront of building 20, which is the one closer to waverly right beside the main glass building..

But! That's really no big deal. I'm used to not being noticed... I think I'm the only person who has never turned a single head driving around town in a Cobalt SS/SC...

 

I think the debadging has alot to do with it personally. Also, Orange is a beautiful and rare colour for a car, but not as primary colour, or loud like bright yellow for example. But, I'm sure you turn heads when a civic tries to blow by you and then you squeel past.

 

In forza 2 Bryce turns heads with his cobalt and it is orange... Of course he spray painted "DANE IS GAY" on the back.... and he wonders why I always crash into him causing his rear bumper to fall off...

 

i almost fell out of my chair laughing at that one hahahahahahah omg , i gotta get a 360 lmao

 

Bryce is on the left. Some random online guy on the right. bryce had a shitty start so decided to turn around and drive in reverse. He was actually aiming for ME but I was in 2nd place. Bryce made me very proud

First pic is from my point of view. 2 and 3 are from bryce and 4th is tim about to slam into the poor guy AGAIN. 5th is after Tim clipped him. We were doing about 227mph... Bryce was doing about 180mph. Bryce only nicked the guy but as you can see it was more than enough.

Me driving between. Tim is behid me laughing his stoned head off (then crashes into the poor random player right after bryce did). The guy didn't even see bryce comming until it was too late which was his own fault since I could clearly see him as he exited the turn.

The replay is much better because this all happened within 3 seconds and was so funny I thought I would die. Tim wouldn't stop laughing even 8mins later when I won the race.

Moral of the story. Bryce is a dick, Tim smokes way too much weed, Random players need to have better vision and I still kick ass.

 

Kiss ass perhaps.... Nice screens though. P.S. my finger is bleeding, but I don't have any idea what that has to do with anything.

Anyway, the real reason for this post was the following!
This may be old news for some of you, but I just found this out today. There was an official annoucement made as to why the 08 SS/SC does not exist. Apparently the US Government made changes to their emitions laws for 08, and the SS/SC did not meet them. GM has officially confirmed a new "true" SS is in the works for the Cobalt brand, however they haven't officially announced if it will sport the Solstice GXP's LNF power plant. (this is highly likely however, given the Delta platform adaption for the HHR SS)

According to an official GM spokesperson, they are exploring different options for the next Cobalt SS, but have officially stated Forced Induction is a focus of theirs for future small displacement performance vehicles.

So, they have basically announced that the next SS will for def be either SC'd or Turbo'd, and they have full intention on bringing the SS back. I presume they simply didn't have the R&D time to get one out for 08 since the emitions laws came out very late in the production year.

Hopefully it comes out once my lease is up

I got a quick question for our team of experts here, seems somone scratched a word into the back bumper of my car, it didnt scratch any paint off, just clearcoat i beleive. ive been useing NuFinish scratch remover and turtle wax hard shell wax all day trying to buff it out but it really hasnt been removed. whats a good way of getting it out

 

Someone here will know a detailer. Other than that you are doing all you can I think.

 

yeah my buddy works at murrays and says he can get it out...was just wondering if there was a at-home method

 

whats the word?

 

whats the word on what?

 

the bumper.

 

haha..ya..what did that person write on your bumper?

 

is it mansauce? cause that would be really funny!

 

yeah a couple theads on this right now.....but I'm not convinced that is the real/only reason, despite it being the official reason. I think it is the reason best accepted by the market/public though. Let's cancel one of Ward's top 10 engine's to get ready for new emissions standards that we knew about for years - dont buy it. What I DO buy is this "theory":
-Eaton contract ended this year
-Aftermarket support for the SC not as willing/reliable/powerful as for turbo applications
-Already have an ecotec turbo in production.....
Seems like pure GM costcutting really:
[2 vehicles using LSJ]+[Eaton Contract Ending]+[LNF Turbo already in production]=[LNF Cobalt SS / Cheapest Solution]

(IMO)

 

Well, I definitely agree that it probably has a lot to do with production costs, but on the same token they very well may have decided to go this route BECAUSE of the emition changes.

Really.. it all boils down to money, but the cause can very. Ultimately, if it were an emitions thing, they would need to put in a lot of work to this current powerplants setup to make it meet the new standards. With what you say about the Eaton contract ending, as well as of course already having a Turbo'd solution which DOES meet the new emitions already, it just makes perfect sense for them to not spend the money on things like R&D or renewing the contract with Eaton.

Perfect examples of this having been in the plans for some time already are very obvious. Recaro seat delete, gunmetal rim delete, high-mount spoiler delete... the list goes on.

There also aren't two cars using LSJ anymore.. The Ion Redline was disco'd before the SS/SC was. I don't even think there was an 06 model.

 

sorry to get off topic but im just wondering if anyone can help me with a problem again...

yesturday around 7ish i rev'd my car and then my spedometer guage, rpm guage wouldn't work and the car sounded like it was struggling to stay alive. When i turned it off and back on after waiting 5 mins it stayed the same and when i started in 1st gear, it felt like it was choking and i would be reving normal to start off and then in a split second it sounded like i was redlining the gear and then when shifted into 2nd it would slowly pick up and then 3rd it would be normal but my guages wouldn't work at all. So i kept driving for about 15-20 mins and then my spedometer guage would work again but my car would be starting off slowerer then ever and my backfiring was just insane, it was just poping every single time i shifted each gear or let go of the gas and with my exhaust, everyone can hear my car being on and this time it sounded like a old muscle car where you'd hear the car engine for a second and then go silent and repeat itself and then just go quite where you wouldn't hear the engine or anything coming out of the exhaust at all. So I did take my car to the dealership to do a scan but they claimed that since i don't have the original intake, they can't do anything for me and i've told them and my service guy is fully aware that last year when i had about 10000 less clicks in my car, the engine was fine with the aem intake i have and now they are trying to say they can't do anything unless its back to normal. I've also had several problems with the car where it my dash lights would go off and so would my guages for a split second, but the high beam indicator would turn on and then turn itself off and go back to normal. But my high beams would never go on themselves, just the indicator and my boost guage would still work. It even kept working yesturday. When i did take the car in last week about some issues, they said there was an update for problems like this and then poof i get this weird problem yesturday. Any idea's of what it could be or why it's doing this?? I just don't want to take my car to murray's again and have them add about 30+ clicks in my car and then say they couldn't do anything to my car after 8 hours.

 

Shoulda bought a honda?? lol J/K. im no car wiz but im pretty sure the intake isnt your problem, they are just useing that as a excuse to not fix ur car, best bet IMO would be bitch them out and tell them to fix it. if that doesnt work...trade it in for a civic SI..i hear they are quick :P

 

haha...ya they'll still beat your car..lol...but not mine...i have but apparently the new service manager there is a real douche so im trying to figure out if its anything that anyone can think of a reason my crapbolt i mean cobalt is acting like this??

 

A loose wire? Is the balt acting like your srt4?

Either way you have had lots of issues with that dealer in the past. They may just have a reason to deny you any warranty now.

Ebay a stock intake. Install it then bring it back to them. Sucks to have to live by their rules but in this case it could save you a ton of cash. I also hope you have stock injectors, belt and pulley since for an issue like that they may check everything just for another reason to charge for service + deny you warranty.

or

go yell at them and watch them write a report on you using non GM aftermarket parts, enter it into their system and then you have no warranty at any GM dealer even with stock back on.

 

Whats his name..pricley or something like that?

if that happens..then trade it in for a Civic SI...or better yet one of those new mustangs cuz fords never break down
