Ken I'm glad you were able to bring this down to the meet, I thought it looked awesome. I'll also help you look into a filter set up for this thing, I'll ask some of the guys with WRX's i know, how there filter is setup.

ahah yes! I love it... how do you like it so far? your going to see now how hard it is to put the power down with the power curve. Defiantly let me know what kind of numbers you put down. I am at 305whp 315lbs.tq @15psi but if you are going to a more aggressive tune you should easily be able to hit high 300s with that same boost.

blue car (R.I.P) - 240whp @7psi..

Sorry for the delay in updates... but getting laid off tends to put a damper on big costly projects.

No numbers yet... but i beat a wrx without much effort at all earlier in the week.... and then just yesterday beat a mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 (twin turbo v6 320hp awd). the 3000gt was shocked as hell. He got a jump on me, but you should have seen his face when i caught up and passed him... and then once I slowed down and he caught up to me he kept smiling and giving me the thumbs up.... i guess when you drive a 13 second car that sold new for like 50k, you dont get your ass handed to you much. So when you do your just glad to get it back. I do love respectful losers.
i was going to follow them off the freeway, so i could talk to them... let them know that they put up a good fight, and explain to them how a cavalier just whooped them. But alas we got seperated in traffic, and i lost him. Oh well... I guess that poor guy will never know how that happened.
but yeah... the look on that guys face was worth every penny i invested into this car.
^^^because of that moment in his life he will alweays fear the mighty Z24 and I sir thank you for that..!
Glad to see this is working out well for you. I hope to see it in person at the jbody bash this year.

Damn.. twin chargd Cavs are awesome. I'd love to see this setup done on an Ecotec.
That thing is mean.
Not really a fan of the body, But that is sick.

Now just curious... When you say "not a fan of the BODY" Did you mean to say "body kit" as in the front and rear bumpers? Or you meant the whole body... including my hood, and fenders and spoiler?
Just wondering... Alot of people (including myself at one point) dont like the big mouth style fronts.... and i know alot of people just love the "stock" look, and frown upon anything that strays from stock.
But i do like to hear peoples thoughts. So what part of the "body" do you not like? are there any parts you do like?
What was with the trunk being molded to the bumper, I'm guessing that's how you bought everything? Just thinking also that you might want to trim the bottom of the spoiler on the body side, because if you close the trunk it will most likely be taking off the paint on your rear quarter panels, if not denting them.
With the rest of the kit, are you getting sideskirts? They're definitely needed to finish it up.
PS. Twincharged is cooooool!

Nope... the trunk is stock... and there was originally a HUGE gap between the trunk and the top of the bumper... like you could fit your hand in it... So i did some fiberglass work, and re-shaped the bumper to flow right into the trunk... they are not molded together... but from the rear it does look that way. I did however mold the corner pieces into the bumper... more like the 2003 style...

Once again... this was intentional... the original spoiler had a HUGE gap over the quarterpanels. and i liked the look it was going for... but i just didnt feel it was executed well enough. so i pulled out the fiberglass and once again reshaped to my liking. the spoiler is bolted to the trunk, but contours perfectly to the quarters to give the appearance of being mounted to the body. There is plenty of gap between the spoiler and quarters... i originally molded the spoiler TO the body, and then sanded off a gap to do exactly as you said. I also plan to add some soft "feet" or other type of padding to further prevent this.
Dave Dunsmoor wrote:With the rest of the kit, are you getting sideskirts? They're definitely needed to finish it up.
yes, i have some bomex skirts... but really not a big fan of them.... so i may either fiberglass them into something i do like... or else i may just get something different. but i agree... the sides need something... looks funny as it is now...

hahaha.... wait till you ride in it... you think it is cool now!

As for the spoiler, the idea of putting some sort of rubber feet or anything like that is a bad one. I'd just leave it how it is, and make sure you're always closing the trunk carefully. If you put anything in there, the force of them ever hitting the quarter panels and pushing up on the fiberglass spoiler could cause it to crack.
Your best bet might be to see if you can design an actuator setup that pulls the trunk down flush after you catch the latch. There are vehicles with hatches that did this from the factory. It might be worth checking out.
as for the BC2 sides... they arent half bad... if i could find a set cheap i may do that... in the mean time... i may just toy around with mine.
for the trunk lid.... i didnt mean like stoppers that contact when closed... just more of less something softer that FG on metal if they ever do hit... but when i fitted the spoiler on the car, i closed the trunk and put some weight on it to close the tollerances a little more.... and took some 36 grit sandpaper and slid it (grit towards spoiler) around all over until it slid freely without contacting the spoiler... then added more paper underneath and repeated... i did this until you could fit a sheet of 36grit (thick stuff) folded in 3rds and easily swipe it thru without touching.... so there should be enough room that short of someone sitting on the trunk lid, they should never touch. i also have the latch and pin setup so that you MUST slam it closed pretty hard to latch... and even then it doesnt touch. (that is better than an easy closing lid, but someone else closes it for you and slams it down and CRACK!)
But i do rather like the idea of the actuator latch... my dad always had cars with those on them... but im not very likely to find a lincoln town car in a local yard out here... any ideas for older cars that i could pillage one from?
nice Ken

This is amazing... i have the same fenders for my sunfire and i was worried how they would look, and i'm digging them.
That engine bay could be rusted/rust colored and it would look golden to me man...
No numbers yet. has not been to the track or on a dyno yet... hopefully real soon here...
all i know is that i have yet to lose a street race...
and i have had some very worthy opponents... so i am excited to see the numbers myself.
And i am in parma ohio for any of you who want to come for a spin...
Can't wait for you to find a track or dyno to keep you from being yet another street racing moron with a nice car they don't deserve because they can't be responsible or respectful to others on the road. But motor looks nice, so hope for good numbers before you broadside a mini-van!
