    Welcome to the forum, nice looking second gen. What was the reason for the swap from the ss?

    lol, I liked the cobalt. Only problem I had was once the warranty was up my sunroof started leaking. and after taking it in for the fourth time to get the same problem fixed I said screw it and started looking for a new car. and out of all the cars I test drove this was the best one for the price and miles.

    Fun to work on James? Or fun to drive :p :p

    Very nice car! Look at upgrading your turbo inlet tube. A very very good mod for better airflow and not too spendy :D

    Well the 29 bolts to remove your intake manifold and a trilion heat shields later :(

    I have never really "driven/pushed" your car so I couldn't say.

    I had this nice thought up reply and then the forum was acting up when I tried to reply earlier. Hit me up when you're ready to sell.

    Shifter bushings?? I know a small mod, but was told it was a worth wild upgrade for Gen 1's. Got mine through StreetUnit.

    Otherwise, Rear sway bar/End links (NEVER the front) :p Damn Speed3's are squirrely.
