Nice solution, what's the brand & part # ?

Nice work Brad. Did you fab the bar or buy it?

In my case, the nut behind the wheel is 6'3" 215# :rolleyes: The nut you're after is a short M14-1.5 nylock

Just saw the episode, great feature on the Goblin. Lonny Adam and crew are going to be really busy.

Keep it, the a-piller cover and wiring. It's a great info display. Did you get a chance to use it? I did, liked it a lot, and plan on installing the one from my donor. If it doesn't find its way into the Goblin, it's likely to bring a decent price when sold online (that's why you keep the...

Great attitude! Glad to see the saga continue. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip Jaret. Their website looks promising. I called today (Sept. 7, 2018) but they must be taking a long vacation. I got a message that they won't be back until Oct. 5th.

I haven't heard back from Powls yet, but I know the mileage is kept in the BCM's memory. It has to be over-written with the current mileage, so maybe the Tech 2 is just limited to establishing an initial mileage only when that data field is null. Perhaps it can be hacked by someone with...

My understanding is that GM engineered the BCM's odometer to be initialized only one time and cannot be reset, not even with Tech 2. Maybe there is an unofficial method (hack) to overwrite it, but I haven't found it. A new BCM and an understanding GM mechanic might be the ticket, but disabling...

Yes, that's the plan to replace the donor mileage with the new GPS odometer status since - at least in Tennessee - it will be registered as the current year or MSO date.

I've got a new chassis and a new crate engine, etc but the donor BCM/ECM will report that it has logged 92K+ miles. Can the trace to the OEM gauge cluster be cut to disable the inaccurate odometer? I'm thinking about using a digital GPS speedometer / odometer that will start at 0 miles to...

Sorry to see it, but glad the occupants were safe. It's a huge plus that it was damaged parts, not damaged lives. Hope you get a new start on it.

Will the Solstice calipers use the same pads as the base Cobalt rears?

Not a recommendation at all, but this popped up on Craigslist: https://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/d/24-ecotec/6674871246.html

It's a longshot, but try to find a friendly auto glass shop that has access to the National Auto Glass Specifications (NAGS) database. They may be able to match up something close to your size requirements. It is a tedious and often unsuccessful process, but laminated glass can be cut down.

I'm envious, 'always wanted an ambulance for a tow vehicle or a fast personal limo ;)

The downforce of a wing - particularly mounted low in 'dirty air' - is negligible at legal speeds, if at all. But with proper design and placement of a wing, we may be able to have a significant impact on the flow of engine heat entering the cabin.

My knowledge of aerophysics is limited, so this is entirely conjecture. I suspect that with the heat exchanger leaned back - and very dependant on the angle of attack - it has the effect of a downward focused nozzle, adding more air velocity below the HE. Despite its winglike orientation...

What about flipping it so it leans forward? I think you'll get cooling and a bit of downforce since the air will be directed upwards. Might need a scoop/shroud to gain significant downforce. Or a (very) high-mounted rear wing with an incorporated heat exchanger might be an ideal solution.
