Well I figure my car finally deserves this type of post, just to show my run in the J life...
Some of you remember this stage of my first cavalier... 2200 but atleast a 4 spd auto.
which ended like this...
a week later, i found this on brew city muscle. got it for $7500 42K miles cheaper to own this one by $10 per month and i upgraded to a 5spd eco
stock as can be
rear mouldings off
wheels and coilovers from the old car on
started getting into what i thought was performance
coated it with a bottle of anti sieze and it looked amazing
removed the rest of the mouldings
Intake
scored a free RK sport CF bezel with the tails since I didnt have any to replace the light bar that i had
stock 16's on and front windows tinted
Vibrant strut tower bars
these were cool at one time, i liked them but they were just too heavy and too much work to open and close
also, here is why you dont buy drilled rotors
both rotors looked like that
favorite replacements ever, Hawk HPS, and Powerslot Cryo treated rotors
haha we all know who this is on the side of the interstate in gridlock!!!
a little WI gathering
some of you know this car too, just not in this form.
the way i left the race track and while there had EVERYONE asking where my hood was....
its right here.... didnt have the pins so it was flopping NASTY at 55 so i did this to hold it down, worked perfect
how it looked before the bash and all the damage that hit.
how it looked after the first day of dropping it off
two days later
while working DTP gives me a call saying hey the extreme tuner kit is for sale on ebay you should get that instead. well that one sold so i emailed the seller who happened to have i think 5 more on hand so i got that coming.... best piece of my car in my opinion
had to change these up
started this color
how my front bumper is left
and so it begins
painted wheels on and what not. all done from the body shop
then i said you know what, header and intake just arent doing it for me anymore...
tial bov
tial wastegate
garret t3/t4 57 trim stage 3 whee, .63 a/r
yay for jet hot
innovate lc-1 with xd-16 gauge, love it
intercooler converted to black
exhaust goodies
stock tails just werent doing it for me anymore...
autometer phantom II gauges
charge pipes ran
tenzo r seats and corbeau harnesses
new, old, older
one of my favorite pics
family photo...
stock replacement, lasted what i had for about 20K
Hella Super tones
LOVE THEM
little new paint work on the front bumper here
changed the color up a little bit.
then i said, what dont people have in their trunks? MOTORS!
bought Jons, very custom fully built motor for a hell of a price
motor swap
added power windows
racetronix in tank pump
gauge pod for digital tach
LSJ valve cover
then i decided its time to go better and above and beyond...
fetter intake manifold
fetter coolant tank
partially assembled
all put together
fetters old drag wheels and radials, that i paint matched to the rest of my wheels
and the stainless custom 2.5" turbo back exhaust,(for sale)
i leave you with another one of my favorite pictures. Enjoy.
And now for the final word...
I have had a lot of good times with this car. I went from a 16 second car, to a 12.6 daily driven street car. Had its ups and downs and a lot of money put into it. met a lot of good people with it. however, i see a lot of them for sale recently to get out while they can. so, with that being said, the owner will be getting the title tomorrow. thanks everyone for looking and let me know comments criticism
by the way, i am going to get the title since I finally payed the car off
