We had about 3 inches of snow today. So tonight I went out to practice my drifting. Not too terribly bad at it but I still can't drift it so much as just slide it. It was a lot easier in my RWD Blazer.

Anyway I was pulling into a parking lot and pulled the brake to slide in. I guess I need more practice because I ended up sliding into the curb with my rear driver side wheel with a loud smack!

I got out and the rim looks fine and it seems to be in place (I don't think I will need it aligned). Drove fine the rest of the way.

What should I watch for to clue me in if it is out of alignment?

vibrations, wheel hop....

vibrations, wheel hop....

that would be balance problems.

if its out of alignment, you would have to drive it on a flat road and if your blazer pulls to the side of the impact, it would be out. but its a straight axle in the rear so there would be no way to fix it because you probably bent the axle. new one would be wise, but like i said, only if you feel it pulling.

No, it's the Cobalt that I have now. I used to have the Blazer and I was able to drift that excellently. The Cobalt, not so much though.

do u miss ur blazer? i had a 98 fully loaded and i loved it. traded it in with 324,000 on it and it was still going pretty good. i was the only blazer around here beating hondas.

I don't miss the Blazer at all! I miss it's drifability. I miss it's LED interiors. I miss it's Cold Air Intake. But I am not an SUV type of guy, more of the subcompact sport guy. It was an 02 Blazer Xtreme but not a stick and I NEED that.

could also indicate an alignment problem, dumbass, hey looked i spelled it right hahahahahaha

Phail-sauce. Luckily you hit a curb and not anothers persons car, or another person.

It was a pretty empty parking lot. The tech school had closed down hours ago. There was about 3" of virgin snow all around so no one had been there for awhile. I wouldn't drift in a place that was packed full of people or cars unless I knew I could drift perfectly.

I did drift around a car in the Wal Mart parking lot in my Blazer when I used to have it though. I knew how to drift that though. Not so much this car.

FWD = no fun drifting

So true but I would like front wheel drive for everyday driving.

yeah... i cant even tell its FWD on the highway

And how so?

you punch it and it goes forward no big difference there, its a straight line and already going to fast for wheel spin

yea good luck trying to drift a FWD. a lot of handbraking. i was able to do it in gravel but kinda wide and regret doin it kuz now i chipped my paint on the wheel well of my rears and put chips in my rims.... fun tho

youre trying to say i dont know this when i work on these type of things every day.... the only way you would get a vibration is if he was missing hella parts or damaged them critically in the FRONT. in the rear, you would hear the vibration instead of seeing and feeling it in the steering wheel. and still its not alignment, it would be a bent wheel or improper placement of parts or balance of tires. An alignment is the adjustment of the lower control arms, upper control arms and toe set of the front and possible rear of a vehicle to make sure that they are rolling parallel to each side and perpendicular to the rears. not callin you a dumbass (look i spelled it right for you instead of shorthanding) but saying that dont call me wrong on something i specialize in.

or you could see the wear on the tires.

^ by then it could be too late to save the tire if the alignment is out is out. depending on the degree of tow/ camber difference of course

I dont claim to work at a shop, I just know from experiance what all I had to get done after hitting a curb while turning about about 45-55mph a few years back and the way the tech explained it to me

you said you where special, :D

well the tech is a fuckin tech. not a mechanic, there is a reason hes a tech. a tech is a graduate student with little to no experience. and he diagnosed it wrong on did it on purpose to rip your ass off. if it was from the dealership then i have something to say to you about that too. i fix the fuck-ups the dealership does and its because they are TECHS. learn instead of thinking you know what your talkin bout.

or you could see the wear on the tires.

that is also true. but that takes time depending how bad the alignment is out.

Where do you work? I've never seen a Jiffy Lube that specializes in alignment.

lol does wal-mart do alignments

The question is do you trust WalMart to do alignment?

no the question is would you trust sseiboi who works at walmart to do your alignment

I can't see WalMart hiring great mechanics being that I'm sure they don't pay them as much as other places would. Maybe I'm wrong.

Not saying anything bad about sseiboi. It's just WalMart gets a bad rap.

no the question is would you trust sseiboi who works at walmart to do your alignment

No the question is.....



Why is SSEIBOI a cuntsicle?

So I was looking at my car while I was at work today and I noticed that I had taken like a 3 inch chunk out of the lip of the rim! =O

wow. that was fun reading what i missed. FYI, walmart is not my employer nor will i everwork for one. its full of strange people that look like they have been hit with an ugly stick like you wicked.

my real employer is a place called East Bay Frame & Axle that like ive said, have been workin for 10 years. we specialize in suspension for cars, trucks and semis (i dont touch semis because im not qualified). we lower and lift vehicles and do insurance to just stock replacement suspension. Business has been slow so they have cut my hours but when i do like i said, i work on the oh-so-godly SRT line and GTO's and Stangs.... blah, blah. i have test drove them and i dont need to go to the dealer to do that. im so dissatisfied with the V8 muscle from them. yes mods will work better on them and will achieve more HP than my car but stock for stock it just doesnt compare.

and i didnt think that you WICKED, only owning a SS/N/a will think he knows how a SS/TC or SS/SC handles.... test drive them once they have broken in. Makes a huge difference.

WICKED= HOLA???? WTF? i remember when your name was just a fucken jumble of numbers.... now its wicked.... ly fucken stupid....

Bitter much?


It doesn't matter, my 2.4 is faster than your car stock vs. stock.

Bitter much?


It doesn't matter, my 2.4 is faster than your car stock vs. stock.

i dont know how you figure....

i think your dreaming a little outta your league. trust me, i had the iroc-z once running mid 11s on 91octane. that car stock ran 14s flat. your cobalt ss n/a runs 15 flat at the least. your mods dont do much to your car because its not forced induced. you should know that it doesnt affect your car as much at our elevation compared to mine..... ill outrun you sprintin. you there racin and im at the finish line.

LMFAO....you answered the question we had like a dumb ass lol... Oh and since Coop isn't here to correct something I took the liberty of fixing it :)

good job i even looked over to see what i typed. yeah your pretty sad for doin that.

every time i read the post it reminds me of the people like you having no life.... then i just shrug and go back to looking at my beautiful car.

Is there a Cobalt forum that stays on topic? Because no matter what the original topic is it always ends in, "You are retarded and have a small penis and I can say that because it is over the internet and you can't do anything to me." I used to have a Blazer and the S10/Blazer forum was really helpful when you needed help. Not like this in anyway.

Anyone know of such a forum for the Cobalt?

um i do agree in what your sayin because that is what i had stated in an earlier post in another thread. noone on this forum can help another with advice. but the only reason i ended up saying that is because of people that say:

show proof, show proof.... and then i post pics of what i have and show that im not lying and out of nowhere, those that just show time slips (which i need to remind could be from another car on the strip) claim they are the shit at racing. all im getting at is i dont need to show any proof of my accomplishments or anything. youll here my name at the autocross meets and the entry of my car (that being it is probably gonna be the only cobalt ss/sc at the track).

ill find the previous post i made that PINTO forums have more helpful members than this one. dont feel left out.... why do you think that the only question ive ever asked was about an intake?

There's a place that somebody had recommended but I never looked to much into it. The site was LocalCobalt.net. I was thinking about looking into it when I have some time.

yea ive given up on that because i found all i need to know. thank you though.

If you left I'm sure this forum would be one of help to others....just my two cents though.

Crash, what have you contributed to this thread that is of any value? More inportantly do you even know what the thread is about?

he hasnt contributed worth of shit on this forum since hes signed on. i dont know, i think those that post those type of responses should be lonely single men or women having nothing else to do. i on the other hand want to ask what i dont know but i dont because then ill hear bullshit from a number of people. im not lazy to GOOGLE anything just too busy due to working and being busy with life.

Crash, go get a life in anyway possible, then when you do, come back and post helpul advice.

oh and i take that your name is crash because..... why? you have a ss cobalt and its crashed????

Crash, what have you contributed to this thread that is of any value? More inportantly do you even know what the thread is about?

aww damn I've been caught lol....I've given an opinion and that's all...Who cares if there is any value in my opinion cause this thread is already over 3 pages long...
Spark notes of this post is some guy took his SS out in 3 inches of snow to drift and he misses his blazer. He hit a curb but it looks ok....there ya go.
sseiboi....you already know what I think about you....and you're wrong about the ss cobalt....:)

i dont care what you think about me. you arent any more than a internet pussy with no knowledge, just opinions.

i dont care what you think about me. you arent any more than a internet ...... with no knowledge, just opinions.

And I'm the same way....glad we actually agree on something....

Sadly enough, that's not what it's about.

ahh dont worry bout him, he just like all the derranged females on this forum that like the drama. always scratchin the VD on his vagina and then cryin bout it

Wow?!? You just can't shut up can you? Always poking, being a lil bitch or a lil cretin. Another thing, can't you spell to save you pitiful life. I mean this forum has a feature that underlines anything that is spelled incorrectly! It just goes to show that you have a sad life and you have no future in what ever you are, have some self respect and at least make your own corrections. Obviously you're not in school any more and you don't need to right essays but people might, and when I say might its a stretch and a half but maybe people will respect you, which is something worth having. I understand that you don't give a fuck and you don't care what other people think, but respect is worth a hell of a lot more.

i dont care what other people think. your a follower arent you? always grabbin hold onto another leaders cock and dangling from it wherever he goes huh? your still in school huh? i havent been in school for 10 years. why dont you show your elders respect and go wack off to a picture of hannah montana or whatever is fly for you these days. dont be mad at me because supreme slacker is slapping your bitch ass around.

oh and one more tip, wash your mouth out of all those bad words or ill tell your mommy. maybe me and her can have some fun after too.....

Ya I'm still in school, educating myself so my future will be bright, for some one who has been out of school for tens years you have absolutely nothing to show for it. What's your biggest accomplishment? A SS/SC? Wow you're really something now. Boi I am my own leader, my own boss if that's what you want to know. I do show my elders respect, but ONE, you're not my elder and TWO, you don't deserve any respect, especially not from me. The only way and I stress ONLY WAY you'd get any respect is if you were to respect others on this site, for example Bluebeast or anyone else. You want respect you have to treat others the same way. And by the way supreme slacker isn't slapping my bitch ass around, no one is and never will.

For talking about errors in somebody else's posts, you sure do make a lot of your own.

You're welcome. :)

aawww thats just too bad. you think having respect on the internet is good. little kid, from what i see, he is slapping your bitch ass around. and you even admit to being one. hahaha!

"And by the way supreme slacker isn't slapping my bitch ass around, no one is and never will."

reread and see how stupid you are. your still stubborn and dont realize that internet cred doesnt get you anywhere. ive got track and street cred and thats all i need. so once again i tell you, respect your elders because you think that all i have is a ss/sc? ill take pics of all my cars and show you.

let me give you a list:

Are you a drug dealer? Damn, that's a lot of cars!

no im just established and like i said, im not a little kid like "crash" the middle schooler illegally driving his dad's car around on the weekend.

but you did notice he admitted to being a bitch ass. if i were you id try to see how much money he'd make you by putting him out on the streets.

so heres my problem supreme slacker . i hoped that you would have the answer or if anyone did because i was doing research but if anyone knows, numbers are one thing and experience is another:

1: i was recently planning on converting my stock front calipers and rotors to either brembo or willwood 4piston and non crossdrilled or slotted. i know both are a great company so i thought that it would give me great stopping power with less brake fade.
OR
2: upgrade to steel braided lines on my stock brake system. there is nothing wrong with it at the moment because i dont make that much power to need to stop harder. but i hear steel braided is the best and less expensive way to go.

like i said, ive read the numbers but i need a useful, not useless, opinion on which would work best based on experience.

any advice would help. dont want to spend stupid money on my toy. always like to spend smart money. (i think i speak for everyone at that).

but like ive noticed: new cars work differently. some modifications benefit performance more than others and could end up costing less than others.

i dont care what other people think. your a follower arent you? always grabbin hold onto another leaders cock and dangling from it wherever he goes huh? your still in school huh? i havent been in school for 10 years. why dont you show your elders respect and go wack off to a picture of hannah montana or whatever is fly for you these days. dont be mad at me because supreme slacker is slapping your bitch ass around.

oh and one more tip, wash your mouth out of all those bad words or ill tell your mommy. maybe me and her can have some fun after too.....


So you're only 25?

I'd say go with the Calipers and slotted rotors. My reasoning behind it being that number one tax time is coming up, so you will have more money, making the second half of the upgrade all the easier in the future. Number two, why not look like a serious racer? You see all the cheap guys buying things like exhaust tips and intakes, only things to make you go faster. When you see somebody with slotted rotors and Brembo brakes you say to yourself, "Damn, I'm not fuckin' with him. He knows his shit. I can't imagine what's under the hood."

Alright, so I've made a mistake or two. I'm more than willing to admit that. Next time I'll just have to proof read my work. My last word on you sseiboi is this; you're still a fag, you will never have a successful life and you still don't have a clue about anything, much less cars. My only hope for you is that you some day find some peace with yourself because you are one angry little cretin. I can't imagine what you put your "wife" through every day. She must have been desperate to marry someone like yourself. Anyways I'm done battling with you because honestly I'm bored of it. I hope to see you somewhere on the streets so I can embarrass you and wipe your pathetic life all over the concrete.

that dream victory you have will never become reality. dont waste your time praying to your mommy that it will happen. and i know far more about cars than you do. dont get that confused.

oh and one other thing, how does being married to a woman make me a fag? i think that your still afraid of girls. just another sign of proof that your still in middle school.

all these vehicles are paid off.......... your almost done paying off your house.......... you live in the bay area of california.......... and your a mechanic at some kind of shop..........

why do lie to us?

:rolleyes:

Not so ridiculous. What if he picks vehicles up after accidents really cheap and shit and fixes them up then sells them. Then on top of that has a mechanics job. On top of all that he's been working for 10 years.

do you know how much used cars go for at the auctions? i can resell them after maintenance for double or triple what i paid. i have all the discounts i want on any car part known to man. dont fuck with me kid. boobie banta is getting old.

what i have been doing since i found out about the auctions.

None of those cars are really all that impressive.

Btw, paying 1500$ rent at your shitty 1 bedroom apartment doesnt count as paying off a home.

Yeah, my friend's dad does the same thing and does pretty good with that alone, he doesn't even have a regular job, that's it. He's got too many cars to fit in his driveway. Plus he's got an old, old Ford truck that's like from the early part of the 20th century in his garage. He's really gotta get that going but never really works on it.
