Total bunch of B.S. right there.^

Except the "Supercharged is Cool" part of course.

 

Lets NOT, and just toss his sorry A** to the curb.

 

Mine is more fun when averaging 16, LOL, I should be ashamed.

 

Shame? Don't be silly. If you're averaging 16 that means you enjoy your car. Though that is a pretty awesome average...my worst is 19, mostly city and a lot of wot pulls. I may be able to beat that now though that I am on 80s/e85.

 

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so just remember if I paint my supercharger like yours...it's because I think yours looks sweet! I didn't want to copy you, but I still may.

 

I don't think Jason (hhrfreek) will mind much Gary. I liked the way he detailed his M62 as well and thought the same thing, did not just want to copy it.

Jason did not seem to mind if I had, but I chose a different route for mine.

I spent hours and hours sanding and fully polishing my M62 even the underside that will never be seen.

Jason has since traded in his Supercharged HHR for a pretty Sweet Solstice.

Before he traded it in, he got another stock motor and swapped it in the HHR.

I bought a few of the parts off his supercharged 2.4 motor for my build.

He put the 2.4 ZZP cams in with 78 valve springs and new retainers and he ported the head. And I got the Ecortec ARP head stud kit from him as well.



I got some other parts and pullies as well, I won't need to be cutting one rib off my belt with these.



I think a Cobalt guy bought his Supercharger basic Kit from him.

He did do a Nice job on his HHR I was sure hoping i'd get mine done sooner and we'd get some side by side Supercharged HHR shots since both of ours are Black and mines a Panel.

Oh well, I took too long and he found a Sweet car before I got mine going.

 

Ha Thanks!

I just pushed things a bit too far with my build. Balance shafts in the engine are a must on a dd. That little engine sends some crazy vibes through the car without them. Started burning a bit of oil as the control rings weren't sealing properly likely as a result of my honing. And after I got on e85 that dang clutch started slipping.

I wouldn't go back even though it got a bit expensive. I learned a lot.

Getting some SC HHR pics would have been very kewl AP, infact I still hope to see it in person when you're done!

The Solstice is downright awesome to drive.

 

Where did you get that heat shield looking thing on top of the SC? Thanks, Gary

 

Gary,

Thats just the way he Painted it.

Painted half and sanded the other half to a brushed metal finish. Sanded the Ribs on the SC to expose them.

 

hey A&P, where did you get the valve cover? is that from a cobalt?
