Welcome to the forums! Good luck with your car and I look forward to seeing your mods!
When I read the subject line I thought we were in for a thread about paint quality! An intro is a much better topic. :)
Welcome to AF!
the Cobalt SS swap is more trouble than it's worth. Just do a Suzuki Forenza swap like everyone else :D
I'm not sure about that. According to Nemasys, the Suzuki engine swap wasn't worth it for the power gain. Here's what he said in the "Enlisting engine-drop knowledge thread, you can read the whole thread here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=27853Quote:

IMO that's worth it....Quote:

swapping the aveo engine does not make money sense, turbo the 1.6 and run 6-7 psi, just watch the tranny if you have a manual
we all are waiting for the 1.5
building a custom turbo setup is too much work to be left only running 6-7 psi
i meant if you are building on the cheap, 6-7 psi without ripping everything apart, should still add a good amount of power
sorry guys no lowering kit on yet it came but cost more to put it on the car then it did to actually buy the springs and girlfriend aint happy bout that but i have a cracked manifold for the 3rd time anyone else having this problem? let me know.
What type of sound does the car make with a cracked manifold
I haven't seen anyone that has had problems with cracked manifolds. I actually have an extra extra manifold I'd let go pretty cheap if you're interested (PM me if you're interested). You should make sure the CAT isn't clogged while its being replaced. If you're going through manifolds like that there is definitely something wrong.
did you say which manifold is cracked?
but i agree if its the exhaust, then check the cat, if its clogged and your under 8yr/80k it should be free. if it also the cause of the manifold cracking (pressure) then it could be covered as well. However i would suspect the gaskets to blow first.. How have you repaired it?

If its the intake, its plastic, you would have a different problem there, i would suspect overheating, or over torque of some of the bolts depending on how that crack is.
the sound a cracked exhaust manifold makes is a puttering noise and its constant but i fixed it after 2 days of work also put the lowering springs on myself with no problems whatsoever in the end i saved around $400 by doing everything myself but im really not satisfied with the drop of the car i want wheels tucked anyone know how i can achieve this tuck
I don't know about lowering, But I wonder about your cracked exhaust manifold. What diameter pipe is your exhaust? Hopefully it was just a bad manifold.
im pretty sure it was just a bad manifold but i got eibach lowering springs and at this point im about to cut them i already looked at the thread about cutting srings and seems easy enough anyone have a turbo set up for the stock engine interested in that.
nice color
nice ride looks like mine [IMG]http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/..._1031545_n.jpg[/IMG]
