Put the car up on jackstands beginning of June, and just took the car for the first drive tonight. That shift beeper I'd put in for the track is a godsend with this - 60 mph comes up damned fast.

Just wanted to say thanks to the forum - from the directions on clutch install to the warnings about the SC noise (jet engine + rocks in a can - if I'd not known what to expect I would have had a heart attack). This forum is invaluable. Now I just need to sort out the brakes a bit - went to stock pads and don't feel like they grab compared to my cobalt GT-Sports (changed to reduce dust). No CELs, no leaks, and looks like I put all the bolts back on because nothing fell off . I enjoy doing the work myself, but this one kinda grew - but I'm definitely happy with the result. Mods I just completed:
*New ACT PP, Competch flywheel and stock clutch disk (hardtop guy package)
*New Comptech SC + AC
*KW V3 Coilovers
*Comptech front anti-sway bar
*CE28N Mercury Silver + Advan Neovas (rims come in next week)

I'll get the car dynoed and corner weighted in a couple of weeks after it settles on the springs a bit. The Comptech kit goes together great - really surprised at the quality/how easy it went. A few pics:

 

how many hours would you say it took to do the whole install? and did you do it all yourself or did you have someone help you for any of it?

 

I did all the work in my garage. clutch was about 15 hours taking my time. Supercharger was @ 3 hours to mount, AC is about 3, FPR @ 2, wiring @1 hour and Fuel pump @ 2. Coilovers are @ 4 hours. None of this was hard and could have gone faster if I was more familiar - but things like the rear tray, ECM wiring, starter bolt, upper bell housing bolt, etc. can really add time - just really fiddly stuff. Add to all this probably 8 hours reading/researching, waiting for parts (new bolts, plastic tabs, etc and your normal weekend worker will be taking 3-4 weeks.

 

Congrats

and enjoy....drive safely/carefully
