    Just bought another one

    What are you looking for for wheels? I have no clue what condition the steelies with probably 5 year old winter rubber are in though. I may have some LTZ wheels floating around as well. I would have to look when I get a chance though.

    Just bought another one

    There is a screen name that I have not seen in a while. I have been tempted to get my 2012 safe to drive again since the Colorado is a little thirsty.

    2012 slow monster

    Been a while and figured I would pop in with my current "project". I will be parting ways with my 2017 Sonic to free up funds for other far more important life goals/changes. I figured it was time to tinker with the 2012 again. Since my lowered suspension is leaving with the 2017 and I...

    Tune issue and BNR to the rescue.

    Okay, time for a short story about my tune experiences and where I am now. I will start by stating that I have both a 2012 1.8 and 2012 1.4T. Both of these cars have at one time had a Trifecta tune on them, and both now have tunes done with HPT from BNR. I will start with the 1.8 since I have...

    Motorcycle riding gear

    Since the motorcycle poll is getting a little cluttered I figured why not start a new thread for gear. What gear do you guys use while riding? Things like helmets, gloves, jackets, boots, ect and do you use different gear for different seasons? For colder weather I was using my work boots...

    1.8 head teardown

    I picked up a spare head to take apart and look into what can be improved upon. I can see that I will need a special tool for valve spring removal, but so far no other major surprises. I will update as I get measurements and pull more apart. Overall shots: Exhaust port: Intake...

    Post your auto cross setup in here!

    Since it has come up in another thread I figure we can get something going here. Can we make this a place to post about what setups different people have been running for auto cross and how they have worked with the car? I know auto cross season is still a few months away, but the sooner we...

    I have decided to list my BNR header for sale. For now I am back to stock maniverter and second cat. This has been on the car since the beginning of May. I have had no issues with it from installation to how it held up. Before installation I did have it ceramic coated by QC Coatings. The...

    Built in shifter installation alignment "tool"?

    Maybe I missed it some place, but is this a built in alignment tool? If you remove the J-nut and press the tab down slightly, you can lift and rotate the reverse lock out 180* and then while holding the shifter roughly between 1 and 2 it can be pushed back down. The two pins on the bottom of...

    1.8L of pure power....

    Guess I should probably try to keep everything in one spot so its easier to keep track of, for me at least. Purchased the car 2-29-12 needing a car in a pinch and "settling" for what was on the lot, in my budget, and close to what I wanted. I ended up with a 1LT with a 1.8L and the conectivity...

    finding specs for factory wheels (not Sonic wheels)

    Does anyone know of any reliable source for finding accurate information of different factory wheels? Lug pattern and diameter/width are easy to find but weight and offset are becoming harder to find. Hopefully I am not just looking in the wrong places. I would assume this is the correct...
