Stripped the interior and did I/E and ran a high 15 out of the 2.2? Um...well why not take it further? First get a CAI, CF fenders, doors, hood, trunk lid. Get some lightweight wheels and slicks. Remove all the glass and replace it with plexiglass. Remove power everything, remove all carpet. And of course, pull ALL audio equipment, including all speakers and the head unit.
After that go to the track and get an official quarter time. Then scan your slip and post it. You break into the 15's with a lightly modded 2.2 and you got my respect.
Oh ya, please dont do the electric S/C. Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

I know how nice it is to have your sub, however in my case I always needed to pull it out for hauling kids, dogs, strollers, computer shit etc. In your case you will want to pull it out for racing, hauling lots of beer, etc. I installed some plain speaker terminals into the side made it easy to take my sub in and out of my truck. I am planning to do the same thing for my cavalier. Then I can quickly and easily take my sub from my truck to my car depending on my current needs. I know you can hook it up and remove it straight from the amp but it’s a pain.
Also don’t you have separate pre-out off your deck for your sub amp? If you do you should have a button somewhere to turn on and off your “NF” Non Fader preout. This is how I turn on and off my sub. No need for a switch.
Anyway link to a pic of the speaker terminals below.

My 99 Auto cav is a 3 speed auto.

no its a 4 speed automatic, why would GM use 2 different types of automatic transmissions? They didnt, you have a 3 speed with over drive. Which makes it a 4 speed. He only has a 3 speed.

What, don’t you think I know the difference between a 3 speed and 3 speed with overdrive? The 99 I have does not have overdrive which really is bad on the hi-way running about 3000 revs. I don’t know why the stupid GM engineers have 3 tyranny options that year. Double check what you think you know before you post so you don’t end up looking like an ass! :iceslolan

Well obviously I have D – 2 – 1 as it is a 3 speed. I would take a picture for you but my digital is out at our lake cabin with my wife and kid for the week. Perhaps next Monday if you like ? :screwy:

Since 95 there have only been 2 types of automatic transmissions used. The one used in 95 was a 3 speed fluid controlled transmission, with no overdrive. The other was the Getrag 4 speed automatic, electrontic controlled, 3 gears plus one over drive gear. Thats it.
IF your gear box says D-2-1 then you have the 3 speed transmission, if it says D-3-2-1 then you have the 4 speed transmission. Theres no other exceptions. And trying to count the times a transmission shifts to determine its gears is extremly unreliable. ITs even dumber that you think you have a 4 speed and that you counted the times it shifts. If your excellerating at WOT, the car will never go into overdrive before redlining. If your not excellerating at WOT the car still wont go into 4th gear unless your excellerating very slowly, and then you will never know if it skipped a gear.
If you have a 95 then you have the 3 speed automatic, and thats it.

Jason perhaps we are getting lost in the terminology. In summary would you agree, using a consistent naming scheme that people regardless of years between 95 and 99 is all I know for sure you could buy a cavalier with the following transmission configurations:
5 Speed Manual (This one is easy)
3 Speed Automatic
4 Speed Automatic (the 3 speed with the overdrive coupler at the end of the transmission)
FYI GM labels their transmissions at retail as 3 speed auto and 4 speed auto.
So when you said things like “no its a 4 speed automatic, why would GM use 2 different types of automatic transmissions? They didnt, you have a 3 speed with over drive”
You were just plain Wrong. I don’t have overdrive on my 99 dumbass.
And when you were slagging on Mr. Finalturismo “uhh 95's came with the 3 speed automatic” you may be able to hide behind the 4 speed is really a 3speed with overdrive bullshit but most people will see through it. At least keep some dignity and admit you were wrong and spreading mis information on this board. You can independently verify from many web resources that cav’s come with 3 or 4 speed autos for those years.

In all fairness, Jayson was just offering polite insight, he never got rude whatsoever. He gave quality argument, and for that was called a "dumbass" and insulted. Were it me I would have retaliated with more than "ricer".
Not to argue with our moderator's fine judgment, I just think the blame finger might have been pointed at the wrong guy. And I'm sorry if I'm overstepping my bounds, I just thought it needed to be said. :-D

It is truly unfortunate how things ended up. What annoys me to no end is when people post inaccurate information. I have no problem getting corrected when warranted that is what forums are about learning new information. I do not ever mean to get into a fire fight I believe that I backed up my arguments with facts and links and even possible photos. I guess my problem is that when I read a post with misinformation I will post a correction. On this particular form it usually deteriorates quite rapidly into name calling and serious denial of the truth. In the future I will PM inaccuracies and hope that the poster will edit their posts.
