    fuel injector cleaner or fuel system cleaner

    I run Lucas Injector Cleaner just about every couple thousand miles. I wouldn't wait until 70k miles... but that's just me. Very good stuff, highly recommended.

    Official South East Meet!

    I have been thinking about taking the wife on a vacation once I get home. Florida wouldn't be half bad, and I could stop by this as well.

    new wheels coming tomorrow taking a risk might get interesting

    Decent looking rim. You should be fine. I wouldn't have gone with a 225/45-18; you might have a little bit of tire rub with that. A 40 Sidewall would have been better.

    AEM Uego Wideband Air / Fuel Ratio Gauge

    Well isn't that just cool. Did you make this thread? Oh that's right, so I probably wasn't talking to you then, huh? And I'm almost positive that the RPD does NOT come with an EGT. They might have made revisions to the pre-production model that I played with... but that was not a feature then...

    AEM Uego Wideband Air / Fuel Ratio Gauge

    Yes, a wideband is needed. Unless you don't ever plan on getting tuned. Personally, I'd go with a Autometer Wideband. American Made, you won't need to "port" the A-pillar hole (AEM is larger than your average gauge), and you can get other gauges to match it (ie: other Autometer gauges from the...

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    So did I, until I felt what REAL springs feel like - Pedder's or T3's. Sportlines really aren't that great. Horrible Spring Rates, Coil Bind like crazy. They look good, that's about it.

    Gringo...

    The tip doesn't protrude from the side of the car. If you wanna see it, check out my build thread. It used to be on Sportlines. They suck though, so I took them off and put the Stockers back on temporarily. I've got Pedder's Springs sitting at home waiting for me to return and put them on.

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    Sportlines do suck. And was that with FE5 Sway bars? Or base model sway bars? I'd say to give the TC a shot around the block and see how she handles and such. She's going to be a hell of a lot different than your 2.2 was. You can make up your mind then.

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    I'd say to stick with the Street. I was told from very good sources that the Hardcore would probably be a bit too much for your average Street Car Joe. I contemplated it as well. Street bar for me.

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    That's on a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX... not my Cobalt. And I could really care less about Cabin Noise... that's not a big deal to me, especially since 90% of the driving that I do in my car, is just me cruising around town for the hell of it; usually with the windows down. Which is probably...

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    I'm not exactly sure on the exact weight of FE5 Front Sway Bar... but they usually aren't light. More than likely, the front is only about 20lbs. That's probably a more accurate guess. But either way... that's 20lbs less in the car. Weight really starts to add up over time... really helps make a...

    air filter has black stuff caked on it......

    After you oil it... let it sit outside for a day or so and dry out.

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    True... but that wouldn't be the smartest of ideas... then you've got a bar hanging down. Not to mention, removing it will take a good 25-30lbs off of the weight of the car. I would never upgrade a front bar on a car unless you've got a car with a heavy oversteer problem.

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    Street... unless you are going to be taking it to the track or SERIOUSLY Auto-Xing it. If you are SERIOUS about racing it on the weekends, then get the Hardcore. It'll be well worth the wait, well worth it. I'm waiting as well. I'd honestly just get the Street. Worse come to worse, if...

    Need some Input on Sway bars

    OTTP hands down. It is the ONLY Rear Sway bar that isn't made from cheap Mild Steel (Eibach and TTR are both Mild Steel - no bueno). Its also designed and made by the people that put together the Time Attack Cobalt... so you KNOW the research hours are their. I only put the best of the best on...

    Cobalt Owners Roster

    I don't like the County set-up. If someone is traveling in another state... chances are, they won't know what county they are in. I think it would be much better to just list the City and State - countries are kind of a gimme. Findlay, Ohio (Hancock County) or Texarkana, Texas (Bowie County)...

    Deciding on getting this camera. Any tips?

    Who'd you buy it from? XS is a good camera, but you should have made the jump to the T1i... much better camera, all around... and its got video. ;)

    the turtle turbo build lol

    I dunno on that one, chap. I'm just reciting what I learned from some of the best Ecotec builders that I know.

    the turtle turbo build lol

    It depends. If you are using the same rings as before (your stock rings, you don't need to hone the cylinders... you just need to make sure you put the Cyl1 Top Ring back in the 1st Cyl, top ring... dido for all for. Must be an exact ring swap, as far as the cylinders are concerned. If you...
