What cavaliers do you guys drive?

I drive a 2.2 ecotec, it's not bad.

1987 z24

1987 z24 do you know anyone else who drives an 1986 or 1987?

I drive an 03 ecotec

I drove a 91 RS for about two years, and now I am in a Brand spanking new 04 with the 2.2 Ecotec. Talk about a difference.

i drive a 2002 chevy cavalier yellow ls sport coupe 5 speed , upgraded ecotec to t4 turbo, 55 shot of nitrous, 3" drop, apex exhaust original paint, short throw shifter, tri-pod gauge holder, with boost, nitrous and ATF ratio gauges, stage 3 racing clutch

I have a 98 Z, check sig.. also http://www.cardomain.com/id/genex

Yellowcav.. you on the .org?

92 Z24, Red with the 3.1, Auto:(

silver 2002 Eco LS Sport

02 yellow LS Sport Coupe with the ecotec and 5 speed. Borla Cat back exhaust and tint are all I have added on so far. Aem short ram intake and apc glow guages are next. 15K miles on mine

I'm a newb here, welcome me!!!! j/k

Anyways, saw this post and thought I'd jump in. I currently drive a 91 2.2L Auto Cav. I bought it at 105k less than 3 years ago, but now it has 155k. The 2.2 is one sturdy engine, but I don't think mine will last. I think it also lacks real HP. I saw this 96 2.2L L4 for sale that I may be able to acquire. And then I want to partially mod that so it can be comparable to a decent 6 cyl. I'm sick of getting beat all the time and I need something that doesn't keep getting overtaken at traffic lights when some a--hole comes up on the right to pass you up. Unfortunately I don't think suping up my current Cav will do anything, as it has way too many problems to invest in fixing. So I'm looking into buying a newer Cavalier as a mini-project car. I would've loved to have found a Cav (Z24) with a 2.4 instead as I believe that is one hell of an engine there. But a 2.2 will have to do.

If anyone's interested, I'm also into Jetta III's, but only the GLX model. When I have decent money for one of those, that will be my real project car.

Anyways, if I get that 96, I will be hitting up these boards for suggestions on increasing it's HP reasonably.

I've gotta red '92 with the little 4 banger, it's got 181K and still runs great!

hello everybody I'm new here I drive a 95 cavy 4 door 2.2

I have a 91 Cav. 2.2 5 spd, 270,000 miles. I also have a 89 Cav Z24, 5spd, with a 2.2, Yeah I said 2.2, but it isn't any 2.2 . it is a 91 2.2 . But Beafed up...heh. Plan on a Turbo in the near future.

how can you tell the difference between an ecotec and a regular engine?

Ecotec's were offered in 2002 LS Sports only and standard on 2003 and 2004 Cavaliers and Sunfires...it also says ECOTEC on the top of the engine

I have a 91 Cav. 2.2 5 spd, 270,000 miles. I also have a 89 Cav Z24, 5spd, with a 2.2, Yeah I said 2.2, but it isn't any 2.2 . it is a 91 2.2 . But Beafed up...heh. Plan on a Turbo in the near future.

Mine's a 90 2.2 (automatic tranny though :disappoin oh well), it woulda lasted longer, but the guy I got it from beat the heck out of it, so I got it (the engine I mean) rebuilt. It's got 25,000 mi on it since and hasn't given me a problem.
I love my "little blue" and it's gonna take a lot to get him away from me.

HeH Yeah. I Will miss my Car when I get rid of it.

95 cavy 2.2, rims, audio, tint, stripes...shes my baby

i have an 03 cav with an ecotec 5 speed, 2 door and nice and silver

Red 91 z24 5 speed with some nice lookin 16in wheels

I drive a 98,2.2, 5spd. Currently 94,500 miles.But,it's finally paid off.

i drive a greeny blue 92 RS with the 2.2L...stock right now but not for long...and i also drive (until mines safteied) a 95 with the 2.2 i believe they both ha e 126500 km on em so they run great

You know,people always laugh when I tell them this.But, if I had obscene amounts of money(you know, shits and grins kind of money).I would take my 98 cav,I drop in an LT1,5psd,and any other crazy power improving bolt-on that would fit in that tiny engine compartment.I'd get flowmasters,and the same style exhaust on the early 90's style mustangs,the kind you can barely see,they are kind of curved under like a half U shape. So that in essense,it would be an extreme sleeper.

Hey guys, I just bought an '03 5-speed Ecotec Coupe.

I think the sound of the car would throw out all possibilities of it being a sleeper fajita...

and why not go with the LS1 T56 6 speed?

Yes, the sound would give it away.As for the LS1,it's an awesome engine.But,for some reason I've always liked the LT1.My friend had a 96 Z28,auto,he had something done, some kind of chip upgrade or reprogramming that made that car screaaaaam!!!

'96 Z22 reddish 2.2L with 130,000 kms on it now, but still going strong! And aside from some minor 'annoyances', probably the most dependable car I have had yet.

02 ls sport 2.2 ecotec

2000 Cavalier 2.2L

I got a 96 cav. The smaller block I did a tranny swap to a z24 tranny. Now sure how they did it..but they did it.

I drive a '98 2.2 talk about power.

does anybody know anyone who is selling a 1985-1987 Z24 4 or 5 spd??

1999 z24 2.4L

i have a 2004 red cavi 2.2 ecotech 5speed 2 door best gas mileage ive ever gotten in a vehicle i named her
"lucile" :lol2:

I drive a 98 2.2 cavi... how do you know if its an ecotec or not? ( kinda just getting into cars so im not very smart about these things yet)

96" 4 door 2.2 CS !

I drive a 98 2.2 cavi... how do you know if its an ecotec or not? ( kinda just getting into cars so im not very smart about these things yet)
Pop the hood, the valve cover will say "2.2 Ecotec" and the intake manifold is on the front of the motor when you stand in front of the car and the exhaust goes out the back. It's back to front of a normal 2.2 engine.

unless you have a 2002 LS Sport or a 03 or 04 Cavalier you don't have the Ecotec.

'90 cavalier 2.2L with 180K, not currently running though, in process of replacing head gasket which seems to be a common problem with these engines.
Then will see how she runs, seeing how i just bought the car.

1987 z24 do you know anyone else who drives an 1986 or 1987?i have an 86 Z24 hatchback with 47k orig miles as a winter car here in buffalo ny

98 Base Cavalier 2200Sfi Auto and i just picked up a 99 Z24 the front was wrecked but is repairable.

2001 cavy 2.2 auto...just got signed on at a mine with a starting wage of 25 an hour..SO LET THE MODDING BEGIN...sooooo much crap i wanna buy for my car and its finally gonna happen lol

03, auto, all stock, w/ 2.2 ecotec. Runs pretty well.

Whats up with bringing back old threads? Any way i got a 2003 LS Sport Sedan. Got a AEM CAI. Had a borla cat-back but some fucker stole it when I had to leave my car in a parking lot for the weekend. GODDAMNIT. Now i got a stock pipe with no muffler lol.

99 Z24 auto with 79000 on it, victory red
mods: WAI/CAI, B&M Shift+, 56mm TB, Upper/Lower Mounts, 4-1 Header into Hi-Flo Catco, soon to be running 2.25" end pipe to an exhaust

I have a 97 rs 5 speed. two door. black ( the color don't matter) with cold air intake, short throw shifter, msd ignition, headders, high flow cat, flowmaster cat back pipe, and high flow muffler. Soon to put racing clutch on.

My first car I ever got was an '88 Cavalier Z24 convertible.
It had I think a 2.8 V6 engine with 3 spd automatic transmission. I miss that car alot. It was like the role model for cavs. My second car which I bought this February is an '02 Cavalier LS with one of those loveable 2.2 Ecotech engines.

I'd prefer Z24's any day. :biggrin:
