If your interested in custom aluminum tilt wheel levers hit me up!

A skunk sat on a stump, the stump thought the skunk stunk,
and the skunk thought the stump stunk. Say that 10 times fast lol.
04 sunfire auto 16.3@82.5.................for now
bought mine feb 17 with 71 miles on it. about to hit 21000. nothing major yet. <br>
I used to race cars, now I race myself.
5K PB: 24:50
10K PB: 54:26
got 33 000km on it
no problem yet.
but still got the noisy engine knocks when cold.
I suspect the timing chain.
I know the dealer had to redo an Ecotec cuse the timing chain failed after 70 000km <br>

26K, got it with 7 miles on it, nothing yet
<br>
39k on my 03 5speed!!!!!! Replace 2 clutch master cylinders, had in the shop 4 times for stalling at a stop and that's about it. <br>
ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE
30000km on 04. Almost every possible problem. Ecotecs arent bad motors, they are certainly (from what Ive read) the most reliable engine that GM is using in their j bodies so far. <br>
cool keep them coming. i am very interested in seeing whos got the most miles on there and so far
its me. 55k
oh well it will be fine. <br>
Keep in mind yours is a 2002 so you got a year or two on the rest of us. If my engine was a 2002 and I drove it as much as I do now Id have easily hit 95 000 now (km) <br>
2003 4 speed auto ls sport zedan 27,000 miles, 2 trips to canada

Who wants a mustache ride
02 ls sport 32k miles. <br>
What kind of sound does the timing chain make? Guaranteed thats next on my car. Any chance I can simply tighten something so it doesnt blow when I need it? <br>
02 sport with 30,000 miles. <br>
03 fire w/ 30k miles no big problems
05 cav, bought it with 1 mile on it, now has almost 2000...no problem yet :o) <br>
"Might be slow, but its cute as hell"
bought my 04 on june 12 2004. now have a little over 12k.
