how to spend thousands in seconds

so, i got my re-enlistment bonus in. after paying off my debt first, i was left with quite a lot to put into the cobalt. just figured id post everything i just ordered...

Drilled/slotted rotors
EBC red stuff break pads front and rear
progress rear sway bar
bwoody traction bars
turbo tech motor mount
ZZP front and rear billet tranny mounts
ZZP tensioner pulley
ZZP interchanable pulley system with 2.6 pulley
60lb flowmatched injectors
iridium spark plugs
front mount heat exchanger
dual pass intercooler plate
chrome radiator hose
MRZ radiator, brake fluid, clutch, coolant, oil, strut, and windshield fluid covers (chrome with carbon fiber inserts) along with the SS door sills
Cometic head gasket
ARP head studs
custom floor mats
momo heel pads to protect the floor mats
CA LED tail lights
fidanza aluminum flywheel
light weight crank pulley
SPEC stage 4 clutch
REAL carbon fiber interior trim kit
Aeroforce interceptor gauge
3 gauge A-pillar pod
new shorty antenna (didnt like the fat rubber one)

i think that was everything...

Coming tomorrow when stores are open:
Calling modern performance and ordering B&M short throw, carbon fiber injector cover, and black powder coated valve cover
Calling fibercations to send in my spark plug cover to get laid in carbon fiber
going to discount tire to get my konig hotswaps and nitto invos
Tinting windows
getting my headliner redone cause i hate the ugly tan

well what do you guys think about my order?

after that is all done ill see what im left with and decide whether or not im going to pick up JBP triflow cams. then ill just need a tune i should be rockin and ready for some car shows and well as some track runs

EDIT: forgot to add Hahn racecraft full exhaust

Holy ****!

That's a loooooooot of fun stuff.

Though, I think you're missing out on some of the fun of modifying.

What was the final cost?

Cometic head gasket
ARP head studs

Did you order pistons too?

FYI dude, I read your post, your going from your stock injectors, to your 60#ers without a tune?

You might run rich...which is a no no.

im getting black with carbon fiber inserts. go to discounttiredirect.com it says coming soon but if you have a discount tire store nearby go to the actual store. they will tell you that they are available now. i was quoted about 1800 for black with carbon fiber inserts along with my nitto invos

of course! ive done everything myself so far except for the things i couldnt do like swapping out the wheels cause i dont have the tools to take a tires off wheels... and of course the pcm flash. im pretty lucky cause theres an auto shop on base and all you have to do is take a 20 minute safety class then you can use it all you want. its got every tool imaginable, a lift, and all sorts of fun stuff.

But you wont put pistons in even thought you already plan on having the head off (and possibly the engine out to do the clutch and flywheel)...... that makes sense

tell me why id need them.. you really think ill be pushing that much to need pistons? i highly doubt it. thats like saying, well while i have the head off i might as well just sleeve it too, no actually ****.. why not buy the whole new stage head from JBP.. its only $3000. "that makes sense" sorry to tell you but the military doesnt pay well, and my bonus will eventually be spent... it isnt endless. so i think id rather keep the last of my money in case something happens which often times does when working with aftermarket parts. so keep your sarcasm

Yes, with a 2.6 pulley, and knowing that I already had the engine out of the car (and considering the change you already spent), I would put a set of pistons in. But its not my car, nor is it my engine. But I know I'd be pissed when i had to pull that engine back out to rebuild it cause it melted down a piston
