    hey guys so selling all my after market parts that i pulled out before the trade in. just going to post the links to craigslist where i have them listed. I'm in orange county CA but willl ship anywhere you just have to pay the shipping. shipping internationally not worth the cost to ship but if you want it that badly fine. everything is off of a US version 2014 spark 1.2L LT2 but should fit all us 2012-2015 sparks spike lug nuts http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/5746054132.html k and n filter http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/5746057015.html

    This isnt mine but.. looking for a pic of mine already in the spark face book group I noticed that the black sticker things are an american thing.. overseas version dont have them.. weird.. anyway check the fb group for more pics or I'm sure you can find a euro version in your color without them to see what it would look like in google images. I've taken them off my spark and sonic and it looks so much better. If they were gloss black I can see it maybe looking like the one big window effect its trying to achieve, but they're that ugly plastic textured junk and it just doesn't work :(

    pretty sure they do most modern cars do. and I bet the speakers are the same size as what is in the sonic since theyre int the same location and sound the same but could be wrong

    never seemed to get tailgated but a lot switching lanes in front of me or merging into me.. never happens in the truck. lol stay safe out there guys

    too much money and in california salvaged cars can only have liability insurance so if it gets stolen again or an accident where youre at fault youre s.o.L your state might be different. still too much money.

    havent had the issue.. cause I peeled it off a long time ago.. just pull it off it makes the car look way better and classier.. use car wax to buff off the residual adhesive

    well I traded in my spark and took the k and n air filter out (they aint giving me more money for it) and put the stock like new one back in. I do have exhaust so this might not be typical but.. it ran smoother, way quieter which was weird, and was quicker off the line and saw a huge jump in mpg. only drove it for a day and raced it everywhere using as much gas as could cause screw them i'm not giving them my 20 bucks worth of gas too lol.. but I gotta take it back.. stay stock not worth the investment .. again theres after market exhaust but from what I experienced witht the exhaust it made i

    yup. it was shifting at funky points and for no reason on the test drive my 13 doesnt do that which is weirder .. again I'm going to break in maybe? how many miles on your wifes 15? other thing I dont like about the sonic is the breaking you have to push half way down for the breaks to start engaging like a honda. all other gm cars break normally as soon as you touch the break pedal you get response. is hers like that as well?

    thanks guys .. after the last road rage thing i was scared to drive around in it (PTSD??) it super noticeable no there one out there that looks like mine and with the crazy f*ck still out there waiting to see me in it again. I was driving around with weapons in the car for protection. getting into to a road rage battle in a land rover that can actually crash into another and survive or has enough power to evade the other car is a whole different ball game. I know how easily this guy can take damage and become undriveable with no way to get away. I loved my spark and you guys know that I had on

    sadly this car has become a safety concern for me.. not the car itself but the other careless and dangerous drivers.. 2 road rage incidents (one spitting on the car one trying to run me off the road and kicking in my car door) one terrible accident (that was only a side swipe and was $300 short of totaling a 6 month old car had it been a t-bone I probably wouldnt have survived) and numerous they didnt see me and it could have been really bad moments. I love this car have put a ton of freaking man hours into it making it the most awesome spark out there but.. it's too small and they just dont t

    well trading in my spark and taking all my goodies off of it.. will up date with exact models n such but gm all weather floormats $100 sylvan crystal white headlights (clean bright white, not that annoying ghetto blue shtuf) h13 $40 philips led back up bulbs $15 Lug nut spikes $50 Stock muffler and resonator $100 K and n air filter (stock replacement) $30 im in orange county CA .. local is better but will ship. you pay shipping costs.

    test drove a sonic hatch automatic and it might have been a new car thing but its shifts were super harsh (i have a 13 sonic sedan and it doesnt shift like that so might need breaking in but) I was like cool more power but the shifts hurt (the car anyway i felt bad) and I was like I like my spark with the cvt way more..
  15. Skids
    yes. most gm cars (the ones Ive driven anyway) drive smoother and seem have "more power" with traction control off .. weird stuff but it is noticeable and seems like theyre in a lower gear with it on..

    i drive this thing like its a sports car and haul ass in it.. i definitely dont baby it in anyway but i do take good care of her.. every car youll ever own these days will have some sort of recall regardless of where its made who makes it or how much it costs thats just life.. i love this car.. im sorry for some of you guys that are having so many issuses :(
  17. Skids
    yup what ray said.. and i know from experience.. if you want to keep the same sound levels not sure why you're adding an exhaust?? just keep it how it is. these small engines basically work opposite of everything you've ever done to improve power.. too much air for the intake =slower, too much free flowing exhaust =slower.. I put a flowmaster on mine after getting in an accident to make it louder and more noticeable. it made it slower, i did a resonator delete and it made it even slower but sounds bad ass especially for a tiny car.. at highway speeds you're ok but getting up there is killer. i

    got to drive an impreza with a cvt for a few days.. huuuuge difference to our cvt (im not saying power and all that good stuff wise obviously it hauls ass compared to our mini motors) it was smooth as silk and thoroughly boring i tried on multiple occasions to get some sort of beefy mode out of it, or over drive if you will, and nada.. ya no lurching, jumping, stalling, in fact a bit too much power from a stop (or maybe just used to flooring it in the spark) but naw no thanks.. i can actually make my cvt "shift" and feel it.. this was just a constant ------------------ eh no fun.. plus a borin

    the 14/15 dont have an OD.. i doubt the 16 does.. possible but unlikely
  20. Skids
    took some getting used to but now i love it. drove an impreza with a cvt for few day smooth as silk compared to this thing but i like the sparks cvt better.. making it louder does make it funner.. for me any way

    if you go on ebay and search chevy spark accessories you find some random stuff.. gas cap kinda looks like a dodge challenger cap (don't know if theres writing on those things but maybe a start) definitely some custom work in your future

    lol vegas.. i'm red lining this puppy all day long!! sho is fun! lol evertoy on mine they put a sticker on the front buper/grill right above the radiator under the hood, that says it was done and says do not remove.. first time ive ever seen this but maybe its a new s.o.p for gm to do.. take a look see if you have a sticker.. anyone have a sticker after the recall????
  23. Skids
    intake and exhaust wont void your warranty but the tune will just a word of caution.

    very weird, may have something to do with the security sensors in the key fob, old battery needing replacing in the fob perhaps. but youd probably get a little security indicator light flashing or something too.

    lots of manufacturers make 4" (front) and 4"x6" (rear) speakers and basically theyll all fit. I'm running clarions cheaper that kickers and sound better in my opinion too. i fit 6.5" in the rear by just lining up holes and drilling an extra hole in the speaker surround frame and 5.25" in the front by cutting the holes bigger. take a little skill and some power tools but not much.
