I just raced bikes this past weekend at my second time at OIR. The elevation changes on this track are CRAZY. This is a really cool opportunity to check out a beautiful new track.

I tried self tapping but the valve cover material was too brittle, so I had to drill and tap. Used stainless fasteners, generous red loctite, then a dab of RTV on each screw head to the metal baffle. I have around 8K miles on it now with no issues so far, but might be worth considering just...

I drilled out the rivets to remove everything for powder. If I had to do it again, I would just paint the cover. The powder has faded and it wasn't worth the effort. Applicable part of my build thread

I couldn't find a PCV anywhere when I was building and Dale sent me one. I have to mention my one complaint about the guy though...he wouldn't let me pay for it! :D

I ordered Cobalt sliders from eBay when I switched oem seats to cheap~ish racing seats. Only minor modification to get everything installed, pretty much the same as it took to get the oem seats in. I was surprised how much lower I was in the car. I think most racing style seats will drop you...

Just went for first short drive after the install. The splitter helped WAY more than I thought it would. No more constant small steering corrections to keep my lane. Even over small bumps you can just tell the front end is more planted. I may take some of the angle out of it, as I only have 3"...

I used these: Dzus Button Steel Allen Oval Head 5 Pack Dzus Fasteners Quarter Turn .500 7/16

Ordered, quick n easy! Stoked to get this on the car.

Count me in for intercooler version. Been wanting to add this for a long time. I'm in St. Louis area if anyone else nearby wants to combine shipping.

You won't use the cobalt engine mounts. What I did was just keep anything I wasn't positive they weren't going to be used until the car was done. This was mostly the low-dollar stuff when it came to resale anyway.

:( Btw, this one is faster than mine.

I couldn't get paypal to work, but a direct credit card input eventually did. Shipped today.

I'm in for one shipped if any local guys want to take it on and make a few bucks.

Same question but for St. Louis area. Anyone heading home through StL area?

My 2.8 pulley'd SC is also regularly in the 130's, but that's what it ran in the cobalt also, which had a ZZP HE. Even after I added dual-pass and intake spacer when building the goblin. Never have any KR or noticed any issues. This is with the HE fan, no ducts.
