    V1 Rear fenders with coil over springs

    I put on larger tires and had to widen the rear fenders. I had to make my own custom adapters to make it all fit. Maybe these will help you out. Good luck.

    V1 F23 Transmission Rattle

    That GM TSB refers to the F23 as used in the Pontiac Sunfire and Grand Am. It even says that in the TSB under "models". The M86 and M94 are actually GETRAG axle codes. Not sure any of that TSB applies to the F23 as used in the Cobalt. But it looks like we are in agreement that overfilling...

    V1 F23 Transmission Rattle

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did I miss something? I see no mention of F23 in the GM TSB.

    V1 F23 Transmission Rattle

    I Believe the F23 capacity is 1.8 Quarts. I confirmed this by fully draining then adding 2 quarts of Dexron VI. I then removed the upper fill limit drain plug and app. 2 Oz. drained out. I read this: "Overfilling the Getrag F23 transmission can lead to unusual noises, potentially including...

    V1 Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    New ZZP Stage III clutch installed. Quite a project. While I had the car torn down I put in the new DF Billet Shifter I had for well over a year. Replaced rear crankshaft seal (was not bad) & both axle seals (also not bad). Installed the front rigid Transmission mount. I could not find any...

    Shifter linkage ?

    I had the Billet Shifter laying around for quite a while waiting to powder-coat the center channel cover(s). Finally found a good painter. Installed the shifter but realized I have TWO of the "L" shaped linkages. I have an F23 and I am not sure which one goes to my shift kit. The one I...

    V1 Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    New clutch, pressure plate & Aluminum Flywheel arrived today. Well packaged & ZZP ships very fast. Going to replace the Crankshaft seal, the axle seals and put in a new throw-out bearing. Need to check the clutch "air gap" and see if I need a spacer. PS: The "GREEN" on the flywheel gets...

    V1 Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    About 1,000 miles. It was a great clutch before I added the Turbo. It handled the 180HP engine just fine. Now making (estimate) 300+ HP and it just wasn't up to the task.

    TO HOT?

    No dings yet. I did get some brake fluid on the sub frame that ate away some rattle-can spray paint. No big deal there.

    TO HOT?

    How did your clutch replacement work out. I am right in the middle of doing mine.

    V1 Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    CLUTCH REPLACEMENT - Turbo install went much smoother than I thought. Once I was able to find a good tune (from ZZP) the car is making gobs of Horse Power, probably in the 300HP range. One small problem .... my Stage II clutch can not handle the extra HP. It pains me to tear down a good...

    V1 Clutch will not engage

    I just upgraded my NA 2.4L Ecotec to a K04 Turbo. Never had a clutch issue prior to that. Now once the Turbo spools up I have clutch slippage in 2nd and 3rd gear. I have a Stage II clutch from Gripforce and it looks like the Pressure Plate springs are too weak for the higher Horse Power.

    (LSD) - Limited-Slip Differential

    I didn't put in all the info with my question .... I have plenty of rubber on the back. With the Turbo I am making a lot more Horse Power. My new Stage II clutch (by Gripforce) is slipping in 2nd and 3rd gear as the turbo spools up past 3000-3500. And it would probably do the same in 4th if I...

    (LSD) - Limited-Slip Differential

    I will be installing an LSD in my Goblin (F23). Since adding the K04 Turbo it is a necessity. Has anyone done this and if so did you have any issues? Also how difficult was the install? Also open to recommendations on the LSD manufacturer. I believe the QUAIFE is in the $1,000 range and the...

    SCAM .... RPM-Motorsports.com

    The owner has done nothing but lie to me. His latest lie (one week ago) is a promised refund that never materialized. I've been dealing with ZZP and they have been great.

    V1 Frank's Florida Street Goblin Build (#227) - 06 SS, 2.4L donor

    Finished the Intercooler install today. Running the piping was a challenge. I will be adding an Intercooler fan & changing the Air filter/intake. Not crazy about the look as it is now. Short video of the first start since adding the K04 Turbo on Youtube.
