    Cobalt SS/TC vs 04+ GTP

    was going through the clusterf*ck that is dayton traffic this morning on my way to school on south I-75. i found myself in the left lane leaving room for all the I-70 traffic to merge when a new body style GTP comes up on me doing about 100mph or so. he buries his headlights in my back bumper...

    challenge for the smart guys

    alright, posting here because i'm getting no love on CSS.net. so the car is a 2008 Cobalt SS, and I want to have my fog lights stay on when i turn my high beams on for HID purposes. problem is, unlike in our aging W-body's, the grounds for the foglight relay, low beam relay, and high beam relay...

    no longer a w-body owner

    well, i sold the grand prix last weekend. got in a tough spot financially and needed to catch up on a few things. i was pretty sad to see it go, but couldn't turn it down seeing as how it had been over a year since i started the build. it wasn't a complete waste of time either. i learned a lot...

    my pride, ego, and my shifter cable

    last night was Night of Fire 2012 at Kil-Kare. i've been pumped up for it for a couple weeks now and took the night off work to take the cobalt down there. couldn't have been a more appropriate name, it hit 104 degrees yesterday. track temp was over 150. not conducive for good times on a boosted...

    ion from hell

    on my way to work this morning and i go to hop on the highway. it's a fun on-ramp, downhill, little banking, and a long sweeping left curve. i'm behind the newest body style civic si, and they're always fun to pick on. he's giving it hell down it, so i'm obliged to do so as well. the highway was...

    camaro left me wishing for my cobalt

    yeah, you read the title right. i work at a dealership, and we do a pre-delivery inspection on all our cars, where we have to put about 10 miles on them. so i took out a 2012 camaro... base model. not even the RS appearance package. 6 speed manual and everybody's favorite 3.6 V6. the...

    possibly converting to ethanol

    so i have about a month and a half before i'm going to have the chance to have the grand prix built. relevant info: top swapped, s2x cam, gen III with a 3.4 pulley at the moment, and 42.5# injectors. tossing around the idea of converting to ethanol before tuning. the big question is, are the...

    grand prix runs now... kind of a big deal

    for those who don't know, i've been piecing together my build for a long time... i think it's been two years since i started buying parts. and almost a year since i tore it down. S2X cam, top swap, 105# springs, ported heads/lim/blower, 42.5# injectors, double roller timing chain. didn't have...

    brought a gun to a knife fight

    so i see a guy i used to work with the other night at work, pulled up in a green civic hatch with a fart can on it. he's revving the sh!t out of the thing, making all kinds of noise. i asked him what was done to it and he shrugs and says "you'll find out"........ ok. thinking it's going to be...

    Bob Lutz on Colbert

    Did anybody else just watch the 80 year old CEO of GM do 50 pushups on the Colbert Report? it was a pretty good interview too, the Volt came up. 2200 sold last month, and it was named european car of the year or something

    the joys of being a mechanic

    so i've been around cars for a few years, currently have an internship at a chevrolet dealership, and am going to school for auto tech. i have a little practical experience and a basic set of hand tools. i'm also only 20 years old. i am, in most respects, a noob when it comes to really turning a...

    tracked the cobalt today

    can you say driver mod? best ET was 14.47, best trap speed was 100.12. i couldn't get off the line for sh!t. there's something wrong with running a 15.12 at 98mph... once i got into third i started pulling on most of the cars i lined up against. i have a timeslip for a car that took me 14.33 to...
