You'll have to upload the pictures to a hosting site such as Photobucket or Imageshack.

looks like you have A LOT of work to do. Oh and if its a 2.2 nonecotec, first thing should be swap that motor out and throw in the trash and swap in the ecotec. Gook luck

do what YOU want to your car , not what everyone else wants you to do. because, when it all comes down to it, you have to drive it. not them, congrats on the new car, enjoy,

Wheels/tires, CAI, tube header and full exhaust. It's not much but the gains will help in both efficiency and performance. Simplicity is your friend.

haha yeah..i was debating weather or not to buy it. there is another sunfire for sale same body style as mine except its a 2dr. 2.2L 5 speed, red with like 140k and they want either $1000 or $1200 cant remember which, but they said it has something wrong with overheating i think so thats why i didnt buy that one.

I love the fact that it's a Sedan! It seems like Sedans are the new thing around here. If you're more into looks than performance, the 2.2 is a fine engine. It may not have a lot of power, but it will last a very long time if maintained properly.

true that... the 2.2 is a very reliable engine... my first cav was a 4 door 2.2 5 speed... and we put 300k+ on it when we sold it... and it was still running... my second cav got totaled at 280k and was still running strong... and that was a 2 door 2.2 5 speed... and my current fire has 240k on it and its a 4 door 2.2 5 speed and it runs mint (knock on wood)...

they are an awesome engine...

To be honest................ I'd start with lowering it, and some rims first... maybe some dark tint... then worry about body kits...

If you do a kit first, then lower it and put rims.. you might just risk being a SCRAPER!!!!!!!!!!!

Word of advice.

id start by selling it and using the money for a better cause, there just doesnt seem much of a point in dumping money into a car that will never really be fast, and the amount of money needed to make it a decent looking head turner would be a waste

well i cant really lower it because i live in maine which = tons of huge potholes. the roads are horrible up here. i really dont like the stock front bumper thats on it at all.

My mom's '98 Sunfire Sedan 2200 is quickly approaching 200,000 miles and it still runs strong.

My dad's '01 S10 2200 is also quickly approaching 200,000 miles and it still runs strong as well.

My '02 Sunfire Sedan 2200 has around 55,500 miles on it so I have a ways to go with it .

I agree. Lowering will make it look so much better even if everything else is still stock. Personally, I am not a fan of body kits at all. I don't think they're worth all the hassle and the worrying about if you're going to scrape and all. I prefer the clean, sleek practically stock look myself.

You're a douchebag! Not everyone is looking to have 1000 horsepower beast or an over-the-top show car. Some people just want a decent looking, dependable daily driver so go @!#$ yourself!

If you really want to lower it but don't want to sacrifice ride quality, I would suggest KYB AGX struts and Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. I have had this setup on my Sunfire Sedan all winter now and it rides and handles great. I have hit plenty of potholes and bumps and it's really no worse than the stock suspension. If you ever need any other information or anything, please feel free to contact me any time.

I agree with both of you about the bumper. I wasn't a fan of the '00-'02 Sunfire SE front bumper that came on my '02 Sunfire Sedan, so I swapped to a '00-'02 Sunfire GT front bumper and it couldn't look any sexier in my opinion. Switching the front bumpers is an uber easy way to completely change the look of these cars.
