yo...new to the thread but not really new to SS.net. I've spent most of my SS.net time over in the LNF forums but now i no longer own the SS/TC but still intrested in a meet up in the near future if any of u guys r intrested. Kyle u seem to b everywhere man...lol

& side question what determines ur member status on this forum. I noticed my profile still says "new member" altho ive been member sonce early 07 & a guy on here has only been member since bout 2 yrs later & he has "member". Im guess number of post...?

 

I'm going with a set of NGK Iridiums that are 1 step colder. Some people have given pretty good reviews on those with the LNFs as long as they are gaped. 30 is where the gap success seems to be.

@Stikman29 it's determined by post count.

 

hmm do you have to order them? or can they be purchased from autozone etc..

 

I had just posted Bap Geon is the best place for NGK's.

I have also been told iridiums should arrive pre gapped, personally would not risk it with the tip on them. I have spoke to Joe on this and he agreed, I just checked for consistency and they were indeed fine.

 

Since I've been thrown under the bus by Steve I want to respond. First, the plugs I installed in Steve's were ones he had me pick up from Auto Zone because my company didn't carry what wanted. Second, after pulling the OE plugs I saw the plugs were fine, but he insisted on swapping them. Yes, I didn't check the gap, but I was told they were pre-gapped, just like NGK's are.

Joe Schulte is right. NGK iridiums are pre-gapped. However, you can regap them. I did mine. Just don't mess up the electrode.

 

Trent: its based on post count... i reckon i am everywhere... I came here for the various times ive needed to buy cobalt parts, and I sorta know Joe Schulte (Mainly from JBO), and BennyHHR tuned my car (he's the HPTuner i mentioned over in the GM-Revolution thread on JBO)...

 

Warren I seen your car today parked right across from mine over at Brezzy point. I guess your command was having some kinda party.... while had to run the PFA... sucks for me, but the car looks good as always.

Connor I'll be out there at the hobby shop saturday. My buddy Nick flooded his Benz back in the storm we had in November. We swapped his engine, and the car would not crank, so now his buddy thinks fly wheel is warped. What time are you planning on getting there? Like I said they fill up quick, as we found out when we did my clutch. The shop usually puts a out a list before they open so you can get your name on there, and get a lift. Last time I was out there for my buddy Nate to help him do a motor mount and water pump in his eclipse, we got there close to an hour before they opened.

 

thanks Wayne, yeah it was a command picnic

 

Check this out about the plugs. Iridiums and gapping for the SS/TC

A few of my buddies seen your car and asked me, if there was common theme among cobalt owners. As in that your a steelers fan and your car is black and yellow, and I'm a mets fan and my car is orange with blue lights and engine parts/covers. I was like "umm not really... just coincidence"

 

soo is that a yes blessing on the NGK iridiums?

 

Wayne, I plan on being there before they open.
I looked at the link. The part number for NGK has changed to a 4-digit number. The NGK number for those plugs is 6509. That'll be the number Bap Geon goes by. If you want them in Autolite's the part number is XP5364.

 

Yea when i did a search for the plugs it gave me a different part number. They're still sending me the correct ones though.

 

hey just to give you all an update for the car show, we have confirmed with the mobile dyno company, and they are in... however, we are waiting for the city of Virginia Beach to approve the permit... its been about 5 days now... so hopefully Monday we'll know

 

How much is the mobile dyno going to be?

 

Chances are a holiday weekend, I'll be working. I didn't request it, nor really planned to. If not, I will attend.

Not to steal away from the mobile dyno, but some of us need to re-dyno and I was thinking about setting up another group deal with Keenan @ All Aspects if possible, or getting with the old man to do such.

 

Post up the info. I'd be in.

 

Just wanted to see if anyone wanted any touch up paint in Victory Red before I posted it in the for sale area. I have 2 cans, if anyone wants them PM and we can talk.

 

Talk to Schulte or JTurner. Their cars are that color.

 

well guys meth kit and ZZP stage 3 front mount has been ordered. As some of you may know joe and i went out fri nite and datalogged the car. The tune is so far off i have no idea how i managed a 13.1 at the track or two A main wins at langley speedway other than the fact i dive the **** out of my car. Once my HE and meth kit get here joe will be tuning the car and im hoping to see a decent 12 second pass out of her at the strip. Connor i dont know if well be done in time to make it to dinwiddie on sunday and after seeing the datalog im not gona run my car until joe and are are done with it. Should be really interesting though being able to see my car with substained IAT's and full timing at the strip

 

You trying to go next sunday?

 

Already asked Schulte. Haven't asked JTurner. Thank you.

 

i was trying to but i was telling joe its supposed to be above 95 all week and im really not trying to tune in this dam heat. Plus im waiting on the meth kit which i have to get a few parts for and the front mount to get here

I need to get my bubbles out and recheck my HE install, fun.

However I'm recovering from a bottle of Bacardi, spitting up blood @ 2:30am, waking up @ 10am wondering wtf happened and a text from old man Joe, then ultimately napping until now. I might live!
