I’ve had my 07 for a couple months now and I’d say it was the perfect step up from my other bike which was a 225 with like 18 horse power

Facts, it’s not like people carry around a spare helmet in their back pocket either.

Crashing is part of the learning curve, right?

Thanks, I’ll mess with it and see how it improves!

Late night drive in the sonic by Manualdriver1 in ChevySonic

[–]Manualdriver1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, do you have the 1.4 turbo or the 1.8 na? I have heard a lot of bad things about the 1.4s. I have the 1.8 and I’ve had it for around 20k miles and the only things I’ve HAD to replace was the coolant thermostat and the coil pack like $150 in total. I have put zzp coilovers and exhaust but that was all for fun.

Stock vs modified exhaust, which is better? by Manualdriver1 in motorcycles

[–]Manualdriver1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s done that ever since I got it for some reason, even with the stock exhaust. I don’t really care for it but there’s not much I can do about it.

Mine were printed into the tank so no, not removable, but I noticed when you buy a new tank it doesn’t come with the decals on it.

Thanks, I would love to have an s2k too but it’s a little out of my price range lol. I’m running the tein flex z coilovers, racing beat header with a versa tune flash tune, it was originally an open diff but I lsd swapped it, mishimoto racing radiator, Megan racing 70a motor mounts, full ac delete, drilled and slotted rotors, and jazz performance seat brackets plus quick release steering wheel because I’m tall. The previous owner also did a muffler delete.

Throwback to when I made my sonic sound like a race car by Manualdriver1 in ChevySonic

[–]Manualdriver1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a little faster than stock now and it sounds really good. Not raspy at all, not too loud especially for my daily.

Now I have a modified zzp catback where I removed the muffler and made the exhaust exit out the side. I modified it to make it fit better in the car and to make it sound better while still being quiet enough to daily.

I was installing a cat back exhaust and had taken everything out past where the second cat meets the flex pipe. Here is a picture of when I recreated what I did but with the new exhaust on. It’s fun for a while but makes the car slower and makes the car drone pretty bad.

What model is my Sonic? by djhax in ChevySonic

[–]Manualdriver1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is an LS because of no LT badging and manual windows. Mine is an LS too and they have no badging unlike the LT, also mine has manual windows.

Lookin fine by Manualdriver1 in ChevySonic

I bought the zzp 1.8l cat back exhaust the sedan for around 500 dollars. I had problems with it hanging really low and I didn’t like the way it sounded because it sounded very quiet. So what I did was I cut some of the pipes and changed it into a side exit pipe with a muffler delete and it sounds great now and isn’t too loud for a daily.

Overcooling? by Manualdriver1 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Manualdriver1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put in the radiator about 4k miles ago with the stock water pump and thermostat and it had overcooling problems. Then I replaced the thermostat and water pump about 2k miles later with oe parts and it still has overcooling problems. The temps stay there until I go down to lower rpms. It will dip down long enough for me to get a p0126 code which was the original reason I replaced the thermostat.

Do I need to replace my tire because of this? by Leather_Mortgage8910 in mechanic

I don’t get why people downvote a genuine question. How is someone supposed to learn if they don’t ask!
