Installed the Cobalt trunk lift kit...makes life sooo much easier! Lol uploadfromtaptalk1411248159787.jpg

your trunk is so rot free and perfect looking. I will have to look into that lift kit as my trunk has stuck a few times over summer.
Anyways I've been playing guess that rattle. I've got 2 ideas. 1. the input shafts bearing is f**ked or 2 the clutch thrust bearing is f**ked. Its an odd noise I don't hear it when the clutch pedal is pressed and the clutch is disengaged and I can only hear it a little when its engaged but if I'm riding the clutch while I'm in traffic it sounds rather nasty like ball bearing are rolling around in the gearbox. If its the box rather then fixing the bearing I might just buy a 6 speed (quite cheap in the UK about £250-£300). If its the clutch its a cheap fix but I'd probably want to get the clutch swapped for something that can handle more abuse while the gear box is off.
Found a shaved bolt with a missing nut in my power steering pump making me think it was going bad replace the bolt replaced the nut and now it works fine
Over the weekend I fitted the new front bumper, rear bumper, finish panel, Zoom lights & trunk lid. I've got to do a little more trimming to the exhaust cut out and then mirror it over to the other side for the reverse light, then it is off to paint next monday

Left mine with the roof off last night, weather said 10% chance of rain. Woke up to a downpour outside. She now has an inch of standing water. I need a soft top
I woke up last night/early this morning due to the storms. Was not looking forward to driving to school in the downpour, but it let up just before I left the house!
I finally, finally removed the baby teeth. Not as hard as others made it sound, but I'm not lining up to go do it again either

Installed a hilariously ugly Nardi for an upcoming track day. Used a K.G.Works horn button and titanium bolts to dress it up a bit more. I have a few wood wheels that I rotate out, but even with leather gloves, I found they never have enough grip for the track.
Nardi Gara Type-3, 360mm.

It really is terrible sitting at a stoplight next to a civic with a steering wheel cover in the same color....and I stare at a combined $600 worth of parts that looks like a high-five worthy Autozone special from their vantage point. I have a quiet exhaust re-installed again thank goodness.
