I still think the racing strips need to be uniform across the roof of the car as well. 
OnlyTaurus's Build Thread (PICS!)
Yes, I'm doing it.After long thoughts about it, I've decided that I want to have a lot of fun with my Cruze. I'm going to have this car for the next 6 years with a loan, and I want the account life to last 6 years, so it will look better for a home loan after. I'm already ahead on payments, so I'm fine.Before I continue, I KINDLY ask that all negativity be kept out of this thread. I will delete it. This is an enthusiast's build. I know I could have chosen a better platform for performance, but I am a proud Cruze owner. I know the power limitations of the engine, no need to remind me either. I'm not trying to be a d***, but I am well aware of what I am getting into. Positive comments/suggestions/questions gladly welcome! That being said, I decided to modify my Cruze to a MODERATE level.

I may actually do that now, thanks for reminding me. I bought the roof rack for traveling to the local ski resort, but fell through when one buudy had to get surgery on his right hand, and the other is his girlfriend, who now takes care of him, lol. I'll finish the stripes.
We will see how they look when they are done. I still don't think they need to be on the roof (also y I don't have them there)I still think the racing strips need to be uniform across the roof of the car as well.
Approve of all other mods though

I really would like to get a lightweight flywheel. However, $500 for one is ridiculous..
Not a bad idea though. Thanks for the input

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I'm actually pretty satisfied with the Pioneer system in it. I managed to find the perfect equalizer settings that plays my 384 bit-rate music almost flawlessly. Powerful too.
I did consider upgrading some of the speakers, yes. I'm satisfied with the amp and rear deck subs though.
When we last met at the first Lordstown tour and mini-meet, I didn't really give you much of a tour of my sound system. Seemed like it was something Terry would be mostly interested in.Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I'm actually pretty satisfied with the Pioneer system in it.

This time, you will have your ears raped. By that, I mean you will be infected with a disease called "audiophile." You'll go back to your car and think to yourself "sh*t, this sounds like crap now..."
Terry and I will get a good laugh out of it.
I see, well if indeed the turbo is capable of 230 fwhp, then that means there is room for 93 to achieve some good power with good ole VE massaging via Cams, Head and IM. Probably not quite 230 FWHP good power but more than what people are seeing now. Which might even be preferable, I can't stand the diving power with this car is very odd. Good luck.
Good luck.
