Speedracer's Purple Monster
Monday, March 12, 2007 12:24 PM
Well on Sat ZspeedCavi, Speedracer, and I went up to Green Bay, WI to pick up a car that TaetschZ24 and i have deemed the Purple Monster.

didnt get any pix of the drive back but lemme tell ya it was a long drive and the 45mph limits on the uhaul dollys are crap. We did 75mph avg the whole way and no problems.

Yeah this car needs some TGC (Team GREEN care) But it should be pretty quick when done. As well as look TONS better. These are just pix to show what were starting with.

Oh and BTW this is SpeedRacer's beater car so the blue car can get some bigger and better things done to it.









MMMMMM free speakers.

We used a 07 Silverado 2500 HD. It was like a bad head wind going down the road at most.

I wish my 95Z was 5-speed, cause I would love to be able to chip mine. I hope you guys get everything in with no problems. Let me know if you guys need an exhaust cam to out in there...

Every cavalier I've ever seen with the door panels off has that rusty ass bracket...I'm almost convinced it came like that from the factory

Give that 2.4 some lovin, could only be better if it were a convertible purple monster.

101000 miles. Timing chain tensioner is fawked. so we are working on it to see if we can get er running with the motor in the car.... OR we have another motor that can go in

I need to hid when the camera comes out....... I'm always doing something stupid!!!!


anyway, its not in that bad a shape...... the interior is comming out, and '02 LS Sport/Z24 interior is going in (seats and carpet at least), no real exterior rust, no major dents/damage (other then the front bumper, and the fact the trunk doesnt close all the way).......

A 'used' but good chain/gear/tensioner assembly is going in on Wed, just so I can crank it over and see what kind of compression it has..... If thats good, its getting a few new parts here and there (ho manifolds, black Z wheels ) and then its on to my next project......

The only 'mods' it came with are the speakers shown above, a K&N OEM Replacement filter, and a purple painted trim piece around the trunk release lever........ oh, and a few Z24 badges, like the old school one on the dash, and a 00+ one on the trunk lid.

I'm still needing to put my timing cover back on my 95 cause I took it off to repaint it... Damn sometimes I really wished I didn't ever paint it, but it looks so good now.
