Are you sure you didnt put the springs in upside down or something? See my sig for how low sportlines should be.

Anyways looks good other than the wheel gap. Oh and nice job on the engine, really clean.

yeah it is supposed to be lower but i have 16's with low profile tirse the average stock tire size is i wanna say 24.5 inches .. mine right now is 22.1 . so thats 2.4 inchs smaller ... if you could picture my car 2 inches lower it would look bout like urs dave . my tires are just way to small .

how do u like the intake? Does it really make much of a differnece.?
Re: new picks of the sunfire

honetly i didn't feel a difference but i know it did . i love it . it makes a cool sound when u step ion the gas . but the intake it self will not give u ahrdly any power . you would have to do it all ... intake , intake manifold , throttle body , then to get all the air out .. header, highflow cat or straight pipe like me and a bigger exhaust ... i have 2 1/2 cat back but i'm goin turbo . and if you wanna go further and make good use to th intake and larger throttlebody a port and polish . then cam and lifters ... you see .. one peice by itself will barely give any power . but when added up the right way .. u will gain a good pit of power. but a intake and full exhaust is almost the best starter mod for performance .

Yes.


@ blade0604: The exterior looks really good, as does the engine. Is that a Vibrant strut bar you have? How do you like it as far as fit, look, performance, etc.? Keep up the good work.

On a side note, does your friend with the red Sunfire have a Car Domain page as well? I really like that car and would like to see some more pictures of it. Thanks.

No, I don't. He doesn't have any information in his registry or on his Car Domain page as to what brand, type, etc. they are. Since I know nothing about aftermarket mirrors, except that the ones on his car aren't factory ones, I'm no help . You may want to try emailing him about them or something.

the tires are just insanely small, thats why you got so much gap. Get a bigger sidewall like you are supposed to have and itll look even better

i just took the old valve cover off sprayt painted it aluminum and put it back on .. nothing special . the mirrors i bought off my friend with the red sunfire . it was carbon fiber but it started chippin so i sanded it down and painted them black . the strut bar is a vibrant strut bar . i have the front and rear . the intake is a weapon r intake . for the sturut bars i think it was 100 bucks well spent . and yeah i will get biggrer tires later on . and no my friend doesn't have a car domain site . he uses mine . me and him kinda share the site . the red sunfire is on 17's with cut springs .. looks good but the ride sucks ass. but thanks for the complements everyone . i appreciate it .
