You should probably have specified that's KPH not MPH.

lol ^ well that was nice of the officer, he could have really let ya have it thats for sure, I dont know what province you're from but Ontario cops love throwing the book at ya

Canadia

Were you intentionally speeding?

09outlander

Yep Ontario, a Niagara Regional got me.

Yes and no, I always do 15-20 over on rural roads, wasn't paying attention this time and went a little to fast, which I find very easy to do in my Cobalt.

I think Ontario cops are a lot nicer than we give them credit for.

<-- Never had a ticket NOT reduced. Always good experiences so far with around 10 pull overs lifetime.

Drove it to work got my first ticket 50 in a 35 good thing there was a hill behind me or he would have caught me doing 70 in a 35 150 buck fine only had the car a few months now came home from work and have my zzp long tube header and catted down pipe there and my 2.5 inch catback! Can't wait to get rid of the factory exhaust also bought shocks and struts for her last week just waiting on the lowering springs zzp does a great job very happy and it's not even installed yet!!!

Just installed zzp upper charge pipe woth replacement couplers. Cleaned maf and so far ltft has gone from -15.6 to -10.1

You have a boost leak somewhere if it changed like that. Check the end tanks on that stock IC they may be leaking.

alerosaint

Will do some loggin on the way home....been a while

Fidget

Replaced my exhaust hangers with polyurethane hangers since my exhaust moved all over the place now its not budging at all.

tuned08ss

End tanks are good. Its now at -8.3. So the rapid change is bad?

Terminator2

It is going in the right direction now (which is a good thing) so you had a leak there before in the charge pipe for sure if it was -15% is is not -8. If it goes closer to 0 that is better. See where it settles.

Bought my 3rd HPT Standard in my life, back in the saddle again.

Also installed OTTP shifter, bushings + clamp.

Terminator2

Still have the Vette?

Gimpster

Nope!

I moved to San Francisco for about two years and sold that and my wife's Audi since we didn't need vehicles. Just used Zipcar / public transit to get around.

We just relocated to Texas, and couldn't resist another TC. Had to look long & hard for one that wasn't totally demolished.

Saw you sold your long ago, and had some other toys now

Terminator2

Yeah I had a 2013 5.0 sold it after I got bored of it. I want an 09 TC sedan but they are hard to come by not destroyed. I would be willing to trade my Jeep for one if I found a mint 09 TC sedan around here with low miles not been beat on.

drove the cobalt to work, first time out of the garage in a few weeks. Feels great.

Gimpster

Well, I hope you find the right car eventually! 4-5 years later I have to say these cars still put a smile on my face. If you can believe it- I chose this over a 135i for a daily driver.

No exaggeration- I probably looked at about 10-12 Cobalts before I found this coupe I settled on. It was 100% mechanically stock and the miles not outrageous. Neglected a bit on some things, like suspension items I've had to fix ... but I'll take that over the alternative.

Every other Cobalt TC I looked at was literally a hulk of its former self. Was pretty jaw dropping having had two off the lot, but thats how it goes.

I should've kept my last sedan, I do miss the utility of it.
