    V1 Advice on purchasing V1 Kit

    V1 L61 (2005) NA Repairs / upgrades before installation?

    Hi All So I just picked up a 2005 5 speed stock Cobalt with 100K miles on it. Rear ended, $250. Not going to complain. My intentions are to build a street only canyon carver to go out with my Porsche buddies. No race track time (too old, too fat) but I want to make a fun street driver. My...
