just look at my car below... imagine the possibilites!.. Be unique and stick with the 4dr, not many modded 4 drs and thats my plan...the 2.2 will never be as fast as a 2.4 but they make turbo kits for them and with cam upgrades and run nitrous you can run 14's. in the 1/4 mile with all the safty specs in tune ofcourse..

Trade the Cavi in for a 2 dr. I bought a brand new 2 dr LS Sport that was completly loaded. I had a chance to buy a new Cobalt but I wasn't too impressed, I liked the Cavalier better. The cobalt had these white gauges that I thought were ugly.Plus I wanted to get a new Cavi before they discontinued them. It's your choice though, I personally think the 4 dr cavis are ugly and I would never ride a motorcycle.

keep it and get the bike too, just because she is a 4 door and a little slower does not mean you should just kick her to the curb. but everyone is right don't do anything stupid on your new bike!

mmmm.... drop in 3800 and turbo charge the bitch!.. You'll match the other cavys with that major upgrade and smoke any z24 with mods too. Just think... getting beat by a cavy sedan... Ha Ha.. those are my plans in a few years!

well the 4dr 2.2L is a pretty slow ass car, so dont expect anythinf fun out of it, yes you could turbo it, but you would then only be as fast as the 2.4's are stock. Theirs no way you could get into the 14's without spending more money than it would cost to get a new car. I say trade it in for an SRT4 or a cobalt SS.

hey,

i got a 95 2.4, z24, and i buying a turbo for it but i think if you are going to trade in the cav get a 2.4 a lot more horse and i was looking at dropping in a 350 and changing to rear wheel drive, but keep the car there are a lot of mods you can do to improve your car

This is true, but i'd think it would be funny as hell for a 4 door cavalier to out run z24s, or anything at that.

hell yes man! Thats my goal!

^^ a waste of money goal. . . yes it would be funny, but in order to make that car anywhere near fast you need to spend more money than what the car is worth. You could prolly run 5PSI on stock internals, that will put you around mid-low 16's. Then replace all the internals and turn up the boost to around 12 PSI, will get you low 15's, add a No2 kit and you will be in the 14's. Price for all this. . .lets see

Turbo Kit Stage II- 4,000 (you will need stage II for that much PSI)
N02 Kit- 500
Internals- 2,000
Tires&Rims-800 bucks (need better traction to put all that power to the ground)
Suspension- 500 bucks
Fuel Management system- 400
Exhaust- 500
Performance Clutch- 500

that right their is 9200 dollars. Yes you might be able to get away with a little less, but your gonna have tons of problems and the car will break down alot. All that for a 14 second car? with 9200 dollars you can pay for almost half the price of a new colbalt SS, SRT4, RSX, something with alot better appearance and respect. Sorry but trying to make a 4dr 2.2L cavalier fast is a waste of money and time.

Not to mention a Z24 with the GM supercharger that cost 2,000 bucks can put down a high 14 second time with no other mods. . .

we can take the clutch off of there and suspension cause its already done... i can buy better tires.. It ok if i never get extremly fast... a souped up cavy 4 dr looks great anyways...

no it doesnt matter that its already done, thats just a total on how much all the work will cost. Not saying how much more you will spend, im saying total spent.

But its your money, your style, your enjoyment, do what you want. Just in my opinion i will never see 4dr 2.2L cavy as anything more than a slow pos grocery getter. And im allowed to say that because i used to own a 95 2.2L 4 dr cavy.

i agree.. it is all what u like and nothing wrong with making a 4dr look nice. and it is all about what each person likes. i have an auto in my z24 and i have no prob running low 13s with many mods.

If I wanted to build a fast 4 door Cavalier, I'd probably start with a '99 or earlier 4 door LS model. The 2.4 was optional in the LS and some of them are out there, but they're rare (they look like a plain jane 4 door Cavalier). Plus, after 2000 sometime, they started making 4 door Z/24s and LS Sports with 2.4s or Ecotecs. Its all up to you. :)
It kinda sounded like you'd trade your car to get a bike. Myself, if I could only have one, I'd stick with a car because we have 4 seasons in good old Pennsylvania. :iceslolan

It may be a waste of money to you, but to others its worth it. And who said anything about fixing up the 2.2l engin? drop something better in it and go from there. So what if you spend more than the car is worth. If the person wants to do it then let them spend their money...may not be a waste to them.

That is so true. A lot of people put way more money into their car than they can recover if they ever decide to sell. This goes for tuning sport compacts as well as restoring muscle cars. Only the individual can decide what's worth it for him or her.
