My friend's wife just bought a 2005 Cavalier. All I can say is WOW. How the hell do they expect anyone over 6ft tall with long legs to FIT in that car?!?!? With the seat as far back as it can go my knees were against the dash; it was one of the least comfortable seating positions of any car I have ...

I'm there.

I'll be peeking in here every so often just out of curiosity. :)

Bye Bye 2000 Lanos Hello 2004 Cavalier

Last Saturday I bought a 2004 Cavalier. I traded in the 2000 Lanos. I went in looking for a 2004 Kia Spectra 5-speed, but I ended up test driving a bunch of cars. I didn't think I'd end up with a used 2004 Cavalier automatic sedan. Then too I didn't have any idea that you could get rubber with an au...

Actually i'm saving up for a Tibby now. A turbo'd Lanos sounds more interesting than a Tibby, even if it is 10x the work doing all you said you want to do to it. I have to say I do like Tiburon's. Have you driven one? If you buy one make sure to stuff a twisted up tin can in the intake tube, or bet...

Re: I'm almost ready for the swap....

well i'm thinking i'm either going to go with a swap or save up for the 2.0l spectra. Nearly the same power to weight ratio with the Spectra as a 2500Lb Lanos with a 130HP 2.0, the 2.0 also weighs more than the 1.6 so curb weight goes up even more. I thought about doing this myself (but keeping the...

Not every product sold that claims to work actually works.

Check out the link if you need an ECU. You can get them for cheap used. I assume you have no more warranty.

I like the way you numbered/lettered the order.

I have to say, I do hope number 5 comes to be, Homer is the man.

That's not proof bud.

That's OK, you just go on believing everything you read.

I don't need to prove anything since I haven't anything to prove. Remember it's YOU making claims not me.

Bring me proof that the magnet idea won't work with the right powered magnet. If you have any 500 gauss magnets on your fridge i'll buy them. You are in fact the one needing the burden of proof. You can't just state things and expect people to believe you without proof. You have none because there ...
