Everytime I think of GM it reminds me of last year when that guy came up to me at Sport Compact day and was like...

GM ***: "Can I ask you a question? Why did you all take your license plates off."

Me. "I dont know"

GM ***: "I hope it not because you dont want to lose your warranty because your at the track. I work for GM you know"

Me: "Sweet"

GM ***: "Hope nothing goes wrong with your car"

Me: "Okay, buh bye"

From now on it will be cheaper monthly payments to finance a car and more expensive monthly to lease a car. GM also says they will have more incentives to finance other than the obvious (it will be slightly cheaper).
i guess thats how much i pay attention to them thanks for the correction

Matt, looks like your best bet is to apply and pretend you don't know Jeff very well. So, yeah, don't drive your blue cobalt SS for the interview HAHA

Matt, Matt. You are such a nice, smart guy. You don't deserve that ****. I'd drop by Jeff's work, it's worth a try, IMO. But talk directly to the mgmt, pretend you don't know Jeff that well, lol. That would seem to be the best way to go for now.

today I went to formula Suzuki. Ryan dont worry. I still want to go again and again, and again....LOL

so I had a good conversation.......

....." so if I told you I plan on doing burnouts, running the bike hard repeatedly at Gimili, go to some track days, find out what top speed trully is, do some wheelies, and drift it.... just how would that affect my warranty?"

sales person " the bike was meant to be abused, that is what your buying it for, go ahead there is still warranty. oh and if you put a pipe on it and put on different maps without touching engine internals that is no problem. hell you could go to the extent of dyno tuning and we will still warranty you!"

GM is stupid.... AGREED.

well...big thanks to jeff...world of help he is....and a amazing friend...+ one invis rep jeff (maybe two...who knows )

he wired up my LED's in my headlights for me to my fog lights

we installed the wideband i purchased from wes that works flawlessly.

aswell, my cat-back got on today, sounds good..little high pitched for my liking in higher rpms, but omg is it quiet in idle (ask jeff)
for 300 bucks all said and done, i am not complaining, considering i dont have a cat...

the car pulls well in third, i can really notice the header/downpipe

im reading roughl 15.0 A/F well cruising, once i rich near the end of third it gets down to around 10.0 (from what i could tell)

Question. Is there anything like Tein's EDFC, but for height adjustment of coilovers (not air bags)?

Also, congrats JP and Ryan, on your respective accomplishments car-wise.

JP that guage will not read below 10. so if you are at ten it could be even lower! pig rich I say. you have opportunity to tune and do better. good news for you. all hail the fastest N/A Cobalt. I think the next thing to be done is cams!! if you go that far.

Good job helping out JEFF!! Sorry I wasnt diving in there JP, I am working day 6 of 7 today. been busy with many other projects. hell I still have to put plastic back in my jeep. I got it so it drives and A/C works again that is all.

yeah should be an easy fix. just modify the PE multiplier and done. the goal is maint driveability and then improve WOT. that said ....... ah **** it just get a bike.

Hey Ryan, is that Mustang the guy from work who is now in QA?

Oh Jeff, EDFC is the Electronic Dampening Force Controller. A little box that lets you change dampening on the fly. I was wondering if anyone makes a similar kit for the height adjustment of coilovers.... I guess nobody does.
