Top 10 Tips for a Successful Build | Behind the Builds | ZZPerformance

[@Erik-kp1ux]

I've been buying parts from you guys since 2008. Built 5 3800 cars since. Only 1 time was a shipping mistake made, ls rocker got mixed in with the 3800 rockers. They look really similar so I could totally see how it could happen. You guys immediately shipped me the other rocker along with a bunch of free stuff. Super good customer service!

my goals are to look and sound nice with my 06 cobalt SS/SC going fast is just a bonus lol

Only place I trust for my LNF. Pain in the ass dealing with UPS delivery to Toronto but worth it.

I paid 19k for my ats. Just bought it. It’s got 78k 2014 ats 2.0t rwd performance trim. I plan on fully building this car and throwing every part you offer at it! It’s gonna take me a few years to do this but I totally plan on it! Just bought tons of parts for it, zzp CAI, zzp throttle body kit, zzp denso plugs, zzp billet caps, zzp strut tower brace, zzp high voltage coils, zzp catch can and zzp e85 and some cosmetic stuff. This spring it’s tune time!!

Very valid point in having an alternate vehicle and taking a step back. I got extremely frustrated last night while trying to put on my FMIC from you guys (14 ATS). I followed the instructions and removed all bolts from the AC condenser, stock intercooler, and radiator support. Can't seem to get the Condenser to drop so I can pull the stock intercooler. I'll try at it again tomorrow. It appears as if I my need to pull my Dremel out and cut about halfway down the tab where the condenser rests in the stock intercooler in order for it to clear.

Ive never really followed any sort of plan for getting from point a to point b with my car... definitely changed my goal multiple times... most just wanting more speed and less weight... but my fiero is finally getting to where i feel like im close to finished project...

[@RickJames-qz8vt]

I bought a Sedan LNF thinking I'll just do 450 HP. Now I'm considering a max HP coupe to show off in the bay area, because nobody has or knows what they are here.

Just purchased some led's from ZZ to replace the ugly yellow halogens on my 2016 ATS. I want to go with the stage 1 kit as mine is plain stock.

[@badassgaaming3449]

The illustrious 10 mm" i loved that line. For me its the 15mm that I lose all the time. It always seems to be the socket you need the most that you lose all the time

[@timothy7754]

Any thing for a 2.4l eco tech? Maybe blower nitrous set up? Think it maybe make 400 push it.

[@dylanslaunwhite2160]

Hahn turbo

[@matthewsjoblomms]

Best way to fix the,TCM issue for,05 Cobalt? 2.2Eco Tech engine. LT, 2dr coupe

[@OhDoctorr]

By chance, idk if I'll get a response or not, but how much of a cavalier drivetrain can be used in a cobalt? Id like to keep the hydraulic clutch and less electronics if possible. Thanks

In a couple years i plan to send my summit white 2010 cobalt ss to you guys. I want minimum 800hp. I will have a budget that should make it easy to pull off.

[@derqatarzan4207]

DId you do it?

[@Lowkey_DeAndre]

Should I buy a 07 cobalt with 125k LSJ?

[@ulrek54321]

I picked up an 06 lsj with 194k but the car was kept stock, not raced much

[@Lowkey_DeAndre]

@@ulrek54321 I ended up getting a mk5 gti instead the seller was super sketchy

[@ulrek54321]

@@Lowkey_DeAndre Yeah that was probably the safer bet, sketchy sellers mean alterior motives

[@Lowkey_DeAndre]

@@ulrek54321 yeah the GTI was bone stock and had records the dude dodged me for like a week and the car had a bunch of mods like a smaller pully intake exhaust and had some damage on it happy with my choice but I can’t lie I really wanted the cobalt if someone offered a trade today I’d probably do it😂

[@ulrek54321]

@@Lowkey_DeAndre I think u definitely made the right choice, I wouldn't even consider buying a pre-modded car, unless it was tuned by a reputable shop. No telling if the mods were done properly when randoms start wrenching and driving the piss outta it. But I do love the lsj, not as legendary as the lnf but it definitely has a good feel. And I was shocked to find it bone stock.

Can you help me? I own a 2019 Sonic RS w/ 10k miles, and I want to build the fastest street-legal RS possible w/ 16k budget. What do you recommend? Where do I start?

[@marcosgonzalez2784]

I love my own 2010 Chevy Cobalt 2.2. auto plan going upgrade then against challenge or BMW.

[@GrimmNastyy]

I'd love to email and pick someone's brain on a turbo kit vs a cam and intercooler for my current TEP trans, E85 GTP daily/weekend warrior as a bracket drag car and little street toy. Really torn on the next way to go...

Could zzp be able to help a person who Is computer illiterate, I barely can email, but I would love to have my 2015 cts tune by you guys with the hp tuner, but I dont know if I can do my part, can you help a person like me?

[@rusu8721]

to bad this broke ass single father can't afford anything for his cobalt's(yes prural!). one daily LS L61/MT with lots of bolt on's & a LNF coupe summer car mostly stock just intake & turbo back. @SINGLEFATHERHOODFTW!

[@jperdue3567]

I'm a little upset. I bought the led headlight bulbs for my 08 Cobalt........fanfreakingtastic upgrade! However, I just put the zzp sticker on my back window about a week ago. Yesterday morning I had to scrape ice off my window and the damn sticker came right off........I haven't even touched the bottom half of my window at this point. Guys, look into getting better adhesion on your decals/stickers. I initially tried sticking it across my third brake light but it wouldn't even stick to it, so I went with the glass beings it should have zero issues adhering. I'm as little disappointed at how easily it was lost. I took pride in repping zzp even though I have yet to start upgrading power adders. Either pcm or downpipe will be my next purchase. My cat is going, but I hate my throttle response.

[@ZZPerformanceChannel]

Glad you're enjoying the lights, they're a super great mod. However, sorry to hear about your decals. This is common for any outdoor weather resistant decal... especially since we don't want to overcharge you guys for extremely costly stickers. If you initially put the sticker on the brake light, and then moved it to the window, chances are it won't hold. The decals are a one-time deal. Also, you cannot take an ice scraper to ANY outdoor decal, so use caution to go around them when de-icing your car. Email me at [e-mail] and I'll work on getting you some replacements though, thanks!

[@jperdue3567]

@@ZZPerformanceChannel lol very valid and known points. The sticker didn't stick at all to the third brake light, I chalked it up to the plastidip. The vinyl wanted to adhere to my fingers no problem after trying the brake light. I cleaned the back window area thoroughly then applied it. It was on good and looked freaking amazing. Then we got a freeze and while scrapping the top of the back window, the ice broke free at the bottom and pulled the sticker off. LMAO this is a legitimate complaint, but not something worth getting so crazy over. Haha I actually had to use the scraper to get the few letters off that were planted better than the others. By no means am I trying to down play the quality of zzp, just thought I'd make it known in case this is an ongoing thing with other customers. Haha I'm not going to threaten to blow your spot up if you don't give me a free windshield banner or nothing. Was just as little let down because the coolest most exclusive sticker I owned was gone. 🥺😢 I just noticed you offered to get me replacements! That's really cool of you! I'll be sending an email as soon as I fly this kite. Hell yeah, definitely gaining points for going this extra mile. Ty so much! There are alot of ss' around here and I think I'm the only 2.2, slowly trying to get built, other than these mom mom and pop pops up here. Lol
