My shebalt..

Post by Rich »

Ok well im bored and felt like robbing my story off of the cobalt board and putting it on here.
So....


I traded my Supra and Cordia after problems with the speed shop that was working on the cordia and the engine in the supra letting go. I traded both of them and got 690 for each car on trade. I decided to get the cobalt to get out of modifying cars for a while and figured a cobalt would be a good car because id never want to modify it........ :nono::lol: So I will let the pics tell the rest of the story
What I traded for the Cobalt

Kept the eclipse

When I first brought her home.

ZZP midlength header
Image
ZZP midlength DP next to the LE5 auto dp (it had to come off manual zzp pipes will not fit auto 2.4s.)
Image
Image
LNF 160mph cluster
Image
Moog FE5 sway bar endlinks next to the stock FE3 endlinks. Steering response feels a bit sharper and more responsive.
Image
Eibach Pro kit springs (rear) Next to stock FE3 rear (FE3 is the same as FE5 rear)
Image
Eibach Pro kit springs (front) Next to stock FE3 front (FE3 fronts appear to be their own but must be closer to LSJ FE5's)
Image
Before springs
Image
After springs no real difference in ride height. the factory rear rake is a bit less. Ride quality on most surfaces is near stock. When its rougher you can tell it has different springs in it. Cornering is a lot flatter.

Will get better pics later.
But for now heres the most recent update.
09 SS/TC (LNF) wheels with Kumho 235/40/18 spt tires (they were 78 bux a pop from tirerack!)

Thanks to Andy and Ryan for all their help so far!!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

Probably not. Though if I get bored I might plasti dip them. :jester2:
They are honestly worth a decent amount in cobalt land so id lose too much value if I did that.

But thanks!
