C6A1M2O build

[612roots]

Well I suppose ill make a build thread now for my sonic since I plan on putting a bunch of stuff into my car in the next few months

But some back story I bought my 2013 1Lt 1.4L Turbo 6mt hatchback in June of 2013 from my old dealership after a major hail storm destroyed my dealership, so with my ZR2 5 speed blazer was falling apart and my managers gave me a hell of a deal on it so I bought my new lil sonic!



The first thing I did was go crazy with plasti dip... Because I was broke but I had to be different



And I drove that around for about a year and a half.. But now about 2 months ago I officially paid it off so now I have started building it.

First was wheels



Then was my ddm CAI


And then I did lamin-x the headlights


And the taillights


I have my UG coming in the mail soon along with some lowering springs and I'm going to have a local shop do a custom cat back exhaust with a magnaflow muffler in the coming weeks.... Oh yeah and tint the windows next week..? I hope!

Just bought the same wheels in 18's and having them dipped deep purple with a flake. Your car looks good love the black and green

 

[612roots]

That will be dope I can't wait to see yours and thanks man!

Have you got a quote for your exhaust yet? A local lady here in north mpls
Told me $175 for a 2 1/4". Provide our own muffler.
I decided to build my own 2.5" . As of right now its a catback. Planning on a
turbo back 2.5" by end of the year.
If you decided to build your own. Im gonna have enough pipes left for another
catback. Can sell pretty cheap.

 

[612roots]

Yeah I got a quote of about 250 including a mangnaflow muffler and labor and this guy down by my place in shakopee I'm going to go with hopefully by next Friday

 

[Hulty]

Looking good brother, love the color schemes!

 

[4g63gst20]

What size? For a 2.5" that's a steal since Magnaflow muffler are like $50-$80

 

[Hulty]

Just a heads up, I paid $370 for my ZZP Catback including shipping if you wanna do it yourself. Just sayin'....

I know but I have no where to ship something that place too and I don't have a place to install it if I do it by myself as well as a lack of tools

Yup, that's an issue....carry on!

 

[612roots]

Plus its a little cheaper so I can use the extra money for other things

 

[Hulty]

I'd like to see your ride, you work in Wayzata, right?

 

[612roots]

Yes sir if you would like I'm off at about 6 we could meet up for a little bit?

 

[Hulty]

Can't swing it today, but maybe next week!

 

[612roots]

For sure just let me know!

And fyi iforgot to post it in the first one but I dnt feel like editing it again

The "name" C6A1M2O if anybody cares will be my license plates when I get them if you separate the letters and numbers its 612 CAMO, 612 is the area code where I am from and camo is my nickname that has stuck to me since I was 9 lol

Dope that's good to know I want more people in MN to have sonics that want to mod them and work on them... So you have tools?


I'm in a bit of a road block I dont know what to do next my ultra gauge should be in by Monday i hope, and possibly get my cat back done in the next week but I don't know what to do next lowering springs? Tune? Short shift? Etc etc...

 

[4g63gst20]

Yeah I got some tools and I have experience from when I
Had my turbo eclipse. I've been wanting to mod the sonic
But my girl drives it all the time so I hardly get time to work on it.
I'm Goin to get all my power mods first then do a tune after everything is installed.

 

[Hulty]

I still think you should do window tint next...
