Exclamation U like the 93' caviler?

Looking at a 93' Chevy cavaler. Do you like it. Looks almost like the old 5.0's. I can do stuff to it in the long run.

Reliable cars. Not the fastest if you're looking to be racing anyone but if you need a ride to school and work go for it. I do like the looks of them too.

Re: U like the 93' caviler?

sure just don't expect them to be fast.... like at all, my '92 bone stock accord is faster than a late 90's model with an intake (not sure if it was short ram or cold air, not that it makes much of a difference). but if you're using it to get around and go to school, like i do with my accord, it should treat you ok. just don't abuse it and it should last a while.

Re: U like the 93' caviler?

I owned a 91 for a while and it was kind of a crap box, It had really high miles and all and really didn't owe anything to anyone. It never broke down though, even though parts would sometimes fall off haha.All in all not a bad car. Don't expect speed from it though.

Re: U like the 93' caviler?

sure you can do stuff to the stock engine but you won't be able to make it fast without investing lost of money into it. you could spend a few grand buying your basic bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, ignition, etc) and you'll have a faster car but it still won't be fast.

Re: U like the 93' caviler?

You won't see 300 ish at all. You won't see 200 ish. They aren't fast cars. You might be able to make 200 with full bolt ons with the Z24 with the V6.

Re: U like the 93' caviler?

Why is this? Is because the engine is not really good to modify and can not fit.

Re: U like the 93' caviler?

it's just that it's not a powerful engine so it'll take more to get the power you're looking for than if you started with a better engine.
