the legend of one low cobalt

[boostAbear]

This car is such a cluster fuck, I dont even understand whats going on but I kind of like it.

[Nick Nasty]

love it dude. but the one thing that i have to say is, a tad more camber in the front if your set on running that much in the rear. other then that, your killing it... keep it up

[WinstonSmith]

Looks like you take a lot of pride in your car.
Nice work.
Keep it up.

[ff_drift_lol]

it's cool man, made sense. well let's look at mike borroughs. that car is completely custom. i never said i was anywhere near that, but it's the same retro fit chop cut and weld feel to a point. not looking for a trophy like i said.

and my fuckin caliper cradles aren't cooperating right now and i am flipping out.

[bigtoepfer]

i love that my front lip is beat because it gives the car character.

i guarantee none of a certain few posting here have never custom adapted coilovers or done a mini tub on your fender wells. it took a lot of work to get where i am

on the first part i agree it gives a car character, gives it a story.

on the second part thats what i tried to explain earlier. You are making youself out like a martyr. Like you are the only one who has it hard. Shops around here wouldn't put coils on my cressida if i asked them to let alone know what they are.


I've only been on stanceworks for a little minute. However i know from experience with other car forums that ain't as nice as this one, and just guys who like cars to know that if you don't check the holier than thou attitude they are going to come down on you hard and fast.

you aren't special regardless of what your mommy says. You don't have it harder than anyone else. A modded cobalt isn't "WTF" different from a VW like you said. Its more like "make me puke in my mouth a little" different just because its a cobalt. With that said i did mention earlier that i liked your cobalt when i first started reading the thread. But you crossed a point in which it seemed like you were trying to hard and trying to incorporate too many styles. basically your car lacks focus.

ok that was my $.12 I'm not trying to bash you for your car, just your attitude. whilst giving you a few tips along the way.




P.S. I haven't had any sleep in over 24 hours so sorry if this is incoherent.

P.P.S you ain't the first one to tub fenders. When you go in and cut the entire fender out of the back and build new ones out of trailer fenders, and cut the fender out of the front and rock underhood fenderless for awhile because ur lazy, then you let me know until then

[snooki]

it's a build man. i wouldn't run that camber on a track first off, and secondly all i did was put wheels on the car. the cobalt is known for doing well on the track, and with my coilover setup, some mods to the control arm bushings (i have plans, legit ones) and a little more work to the rear i think it would kill on a road course even with obscene fitment. 240's do it all day why can't i?

well, they are RWD... you can have determination, but if the car isn't set to handle well it's gonna be kinda tough.

[ff_drift_lol]

can we cut te zip tie ends off tho for real? unless ur useing them for curb feels so u dont curb ur new wheels, but i doubt they they are loud enough for all that

i like how they look sorry man haha

[ff_drift_lol]

1. shakotan means lowered vehicle or car, look it up. Unless you are saying lowered car is a style then whatever. I just don't like it when people use japanese words for things they don't understand. Kinda like bros with kanji tattoos they think says "I'm a beast" when it really says "my mom is a beast in bed"

2. the pipes are NOT VIP they are more boso if anything



personally i think you are trying too hard. Nothing rat rod about it at all except maybe that its dirty and you are using zipties to put broken peices back together. I think your old fartcan painted black with a little poke looked better than what youve got now but thats just me.
the wheels are meh. But I don't really like the corvette wheels on any car besides a corvette. Yours would probably be the first i'd say i can agree with the decision to put them on being that its a chevy.

Its your car do what you like. I **** cobalts, so its hard to make me a lover of your car but i'm not gonna **** on you just cuz you drive a cobalt. But being "different" by modding a cobalt won't keep you from getting ***** either. just sayin

this is all criticism, and in this thread it is greatly encouraged and accepted here. what i've left in bold, well, when i keep saying rat rodded cobalt i really just picture it as being my car all beat up and used from the drop, the dents and dings, the irreversible de-valueing of the car, and all that stuff. one thing for instance, i love that my front lip is beat because it gives the car character. when you see this thing driving down the road and have seen stanced vw's and such, seeing this car is a huge wtf.

and just to be clear, i don't care that my fitment is "too much" or there's too much camber or whatever. i didn't do it get on hella flush or anything, i just like the look so like i said criticism is cool but don't take me for some fool just throwing wheels, coils and lips on cars to get some street cred. i guarantee none of a certain few posting here have never custom adapted coilovers or done a mini tub on your fender wells. it took a lot of work to get where i am, and i don't expect a standing ovation or a trophy but i am happy with my work and all of you paying for labor rates at shops, well, i win that one.

[static all-star]

couldn't wait

does the rear caster forward like a fucking vw?!? hahah. honestly, it looks SICK. any direct side shots?

[bigtoepfer]

shakotan is a style....


and the only reason i said boarderlined VIP is because its all black, on polished wheels, and it has teh "VIP" pipes

Yours would probably be the first i'd say i can agree with the decision to put them on being that its a chevy. There's even a guy in my crew who has some. I don't like em but thats his car and his decision. People think they look good. I'm just not crazy about them

the pics i have for now sorry. i am pulling the rear fenders tonight. gonna get crazier. it's here.

John harvards?

car looks dope dude ! love the rear camber and poke!!

[ff_drift_lol]

you drive past trucks with broken ball joints and stripped wheel studs every day. i see your point but these tires are pretty ill and the contact patch isn't even affected that much.

if i got a 240 and did this it would just be another 240

Because you don't have a 240? Different things work for different cars man your car is on the line of dangerous with that much negative camber in the rear I wouldn't get any were close to you if it was raining out. Looks cool but thats it, there is in NO way that will ever be functional.
