Warranty doesn't matter to me because I will probably drive the car less than 2500kms per year.

Yeh, my poor cars. My employment situation is such that I find I have very little time to enjoy my rides. :(

I change the oil once a year, synthetic only since it came with it from the factory.

As I say to everyone, I'm keeping the car, but if someone came to me with a suitcase of cash or a certified cheque for an amount that I couldn't refuse, I'd sell the SRT4. ;)

the things id do for that srt-4....:ph34r:

First, minor mod but none the less, smoked the tails and third brake light.

Thank you. It was not me at armdrop but was another SS owner, from London, who has been doing lap days on a regular basis, previously with a Corvette from what I recall. He's been doing this for many years. The Cobalt SS's are definitely a great road course vehicle. :)

Debaged the trunk exept Turbocharged badge

What did you use to smoke the tails? I'm thinking about doing it, but I want to be careful to either do it light enough that the police won't nail me for too dark taillights or have it so I can take off the tint if I have to <_<

Dan, there's a shop in Cambridge called Allstar. They can get done professionaly. I've seen their work. They don't just put tint film on it, its a different way.

I used pre cut taillight tint, then did it myself. I had to use a hair dryer to heat the tint so that it would conform to the curve of the taillights. Usually, the pros will use a steam heater (from what I have seen), but I did not have access to one.

It only cost me $30.00 in material, and a couple of hours of my time. Also, the tint is not too dark. It might appear that way in the picture, but that's probably because I took the picture in the shade.


As far as the badging, I will be debadging the SS.

Finally got off my butt and started some preassembly for installing my Kenwood DNX8120 head unit. I used a wire labeller to label all the necessary wires to ease the installation.

Here are some pics.

Installed faceplate


Back of head unit


Preassembled wire harness


Power, ground and steering wheel connections


PAC adapter for steering wheel controls


GMOS-LAN-04 adapter and harness


Main connections to head unit

Here are the pics of the head unit installed.

solid.

where did you get your tint from?

The taillight tint was purchased off ebay.

Is this car gonna see any track time this season?

That HU is sexy. Nice choice.

As to track season, I can't this year as I am taking weekend courses for continuing education and basically screws every weekend from now till the fall and beyond.
