I have a 97 Cavalier Coupe (2.2 liter). It's all bone stock right now with 106,XXX miles. I just want to clean up the engine right now and make it look nice. What are some things I can do to make it look and even run better? De-greasing, new spark plugs and wires, CAI....anymore suggestions?

new spark plugs, air filter, oil and filter change will all make it run better (also known as a tune up lol)

short ram or cold air intake will get rid of alot of ugly black plastic in the bay

polishing the valve cover and fuel rail are always a nice touch to go with your newly polished intake piping.

re-routing the ecu is a nifty mod that takes ALOT of wiring out of the bay.

deleting cruise control gets rid of even more wires and ugliness under there.

and yeah a nice degrease and wash will obviously remove years of dirt and grime build up in the bay.

also removing the a/c get's rid of alot of piping and what not under the hood only thing in that pic of my bay that hasn't been done on this list. (the female won't let me lol)



srry i keep forgetting things lol, you can also re-route the battery and the fuse-box

you can also add msd coil packs, paint or polish valve cover as said, either add a header or paint the factory one black with exhaust paint, strut tower bar and new hardware like bolts etc where you can
