Our 2012 Chevy Cruze

[Black02Silverado]

We picked up a 2012 Cruze LT/RS with the 1.4l Turbo AT. It is a cool little car and has pretty good power for a little 1.4. I have been reading up on CruzeTalk forum and there are a ton of mods for this thing already. Some have gone as far as to get a bigger turbo, not sure why but hey if they have the cash why not. I got a few pictures and yes it is dirty. I wish the pin stipe wasn't painted on, at least from what I can tell it is and the dealer decal is coming off but by the dealer since the paint under it is all scratched from where they took the other dealers sticker off to put theirs on. So they will be fixing that.

I already checked the spark plugs. Seems there is an issue with them coming from the factory not gapped properly. Mine were at 0.024 on all four but some have had as far a range as 0.019 to 0.028. I set my at 0.032. Seems to bee the best setting from all the other Cruze owners.

Those cars are nice little commuters. Two close friends have purchased them recently and they both really like them.

Topaz Blue is a cool color. I already ordered a new harness for the headlights. Seems the stock one is really week, and when you upgrade to the new one with relays it really adds to the lights brightness. Best part is there is no splicing so if for some reason I need to remove it I can with and go back to the stock harness.

Some of the guys on CruzeTalk are going all out and trying to get what they can out of this little thing. Looking at adding a Magnaflow system but I want to hear one first. It looks better with dual pipes coming out the back.

Also someone has added the Korean tail lights and if you take off the bowtie from the back and add a BMW tag it kind of looks like one.

Good looking little car. What made you decide to get it ? And what did you get rid of ?

I was about to mention the rear bow-tie. The car looks cool, I just think no bow in the back and a PTM one up front would really be nice.

Korean tailights? Pics?
