Came back to the forums after a 4 year break. I can't reply to any posts or make my own. Everything I try to submit gets locked behind a moderator review notice and there doesn't seem to be any damn moderators left! I've been a member of this site since 2015 and this place is literally dead now...

If I recall correctly, the RS version has a slightly different gear ratio in the transmission which is supposed to be more sporty but isn't as fuel efficient. That's the biggest difference. The RS suspension is very minor in terms of how it improves the car's handling. You will get the exact...

Hey Bonedragn! When you say the turbo and intercooler have been replaced are you saying that you upgraded them with aftermarket parts or they wore out and were replaced with factory parts? More specifically though, have you done or tried to do any modifications or maintenance to the...

Hey there! You're going to need to go for a set of hub-centric spacers if you want to avoid wheel vibrations. Go to wheel-size.com and enter your Cruze's info and look for your stock wheel configuration. It will have the necessary measurements for you to order the correct size wheel spacers.

Intermittent problems are the worst. It just means the issue hasn't gotten bad enough where it's happening all the time but is a pain in the butt to reproduce. The fact that you are noticing a loss of engine power and rough idle in combination with the white smoke means your engine is burning...

Hey guys, I feel fairly confident in this area, but would love to hear from someone who has actually done this. Stock 16" tire size on our cars is 205/55r16. I get mixed results if stock rims are 6" or 6.5" wide. My research indicates that the widest tire I can fit on stock 16" wheels is...

Hey guys and gals, it's been awhile. Unfortunately I am back, not to discuss and recommend wheels, but to ask for help identifying a problem. Back around 6 months ago I bought a used MPFab Drivetrain Roll Suppressor from a member and eventually installed it on my car. Everything seemed to be...

Hey ya'll! The Dragon's on a car dolly and it looks like I'm leaving the Midwest and headed for the Eastern Coast! Looking forward to seeing if there's more events out this way! :D

I've looked it over a bit, but as I am still not as knowledgeable as a true gearhead I figured I'd ask: "Does this look doable?" I was thinking of taking the LHU 2.0L Turbocharged I4 EcoTec and F40 Six-speed manual transmission out of a totaled Buick Regal GS and putting the guts inside the...

Hey, So if you are the owner/driver of the 1.8L Victory Red LT Hatchback with 17" wheels and fog lights out West of Oklahoma City, I just wanted to say something. I hope you didn't take my high-spirited sprint to the lane merge point just beyond the Northwest Expressway intersection as an...

I'm going to try to make this brief, but there is a lot to cover. TL/DR: Don't use Hibdon Tire Plus. Period. I know more about how to do their job than their mechanics do, and I've never even worked in a tire shop! Story: My Sonic (the Green Dragon) recently developed a slow leak in one of the...

Well I just got back from a tire repair center because I had a slow leak in one of my tires. To my surprise, the repair was free. Unfortunately this free service resulted in damage to my wheel. I'm going to pass on some valuable knowledge that I hope helps others to avoid a similar situation...

Here's a list of compatible 5x105pcd OEM chevy wheels that will fit the Sonic. ALY5570 Chevrolet Trax Wheel Silver #95103615 Trax Silver 16x6.5et38 ALY5679 Chevrolet Trax Wheel Silver Painted #94781733 Trax Silver Painted 18x7et42 ALY5571 Chevrolet Trax Wheel Hyper Silver #95137809 Trax...

Hey there enthusiasts! I have a convert looking to buy a gently used Sonic 1.4L hatchback! Preferably the Manual gearbox. Preferably 2013 to 2016 model year hatchback that is relatively stock. Color is not a major concern, though they do like my Dragon Green car. They have expressed interest...

Don't know if anyone here knows anyone needing a replacement headlight or two for a Pontiac G6. Both are original equipment with no moisture buildup. Lights have been on the car since 2008 and have some hazing from small road debris and UV exposure. Both have all functioning bulbs. Was hoping...

Anyone else getting a domain name error? Was trying to contact $ub$onic with a custom sticker idea.

Here's some rowdy concept art that totally makes me want to cyber-punk my Sonic. Just remove one of the headlights and replace with a metal plate, bore out the remaining high beam for a massive turbo, and remove both bumpers and replace with a police ram bar. :D

I've had my 2015 Sonic LT Turbo, 6 speed manual for just under 20,000 miles now. I think it has exactly 19,500 on the odo right now. Car has been in and out of service department for warranty work about 6 times; always for cosmetics and never performance issues. I have never replaced the spark...

Figured I'd share a bit of research I did regarding vortex generators for the Sonic. According to pop culture, vortex generators improve your MPG by reducing the amount of drag your car generates. They do this by causing mini vortecies (sp?) in the air where it separates from your car which...

As you probably know by now, redrilling a Cragar, Bassett, or Aero steelie is a bad idea for multiple reasons. And because of their 0 offset and lack of mounting surface 'pockets', adapters don't really work. However, there is an alternate way to achieve this look... The American Racing AR23 is...
