1996 green 2.2L Cavy kit??? help?

Alright, I really like the Street Fighter body kit.
Wheres the cheapest place I can find one?

Also, I want to increase the horsepower and performance of the car. I am definately thinking about a new intake. Already got new exhaust. What are some other things I can do fairly easy and cheaply that will provide a lot of gain?

Btw, as you can probably tell I'm new here so just wanna say hey to everyone and I hope you guys can help me out various times throughout the summer.

w/ cheap bolt on parts like air intakes and exhausts won't get u much power increase in a cavalier. u need to do serious engine work or super/turbo it, all which are expensive. good luck.

the cheapest would be a wet NX kit, that's about $600, and u can find that at about any performance site (www.nopi.com). but if ur lookin for more, porting the cylinder head, and u would have to have a pro do that, and it won't be cheap ($1000, www.cavalierconnection.com). turbo KIT for a 2.2 can also be found at www.cavalierconnection.com, and it's relatively cheap~$2000. superchargers r more common and more expensive ($4000), can't think of a site off the top of my head, but u can try www.rksport.com or do a google search. another thing is to search local junk yards or local car shops. hope that helps.

Ive got a nology ignition, coil, amp, 8.5mm sparkplug wires, (I tried the whole iridium sparkplug thing....but since I wasnt racing 24-7, I fouled out the plugs....theyre strictly racing plugs...so im back to stock for now)59mm throttle body, Cold Air Intake, hi-flow catalytic converter, performance muffler, and ceramic header in my 2.2L. It kicked up about 50 hp total; about 25-30 of that is the ceramic header....you'll really feel a difference once u get one, but intake, and exhaust dont really do much....a little, but not much. Also, DO NOT just go out and buy a can of NOS, cuz you think your a superstar racer. NOS, NX, VENOM, EDELBROCK nitrous is for people that ACTUALLY know what theyre doing, and that have engines that can handle the forced induction. Youre gonna kill youre engine if you just go out and slap a 100 shot of Nitrous, and a supercharger on there! You need to have some forged pistons and a forged crank...maybe get some new valve springs and retainers...oh and youll probably throw a few rods....so invest in some money in high quality parts....which will also dramatically help you gain horsepower as well. Just buying a stage 2 cam, upgraded conecting rods, forged pistons, valves, springs, retainers, cylinder sleeves, some reinforcing (machining) etc....will dig up over another 100 hp. (well, as long as you get the right stuff!) <<dont go out and buy extra long conecting rods, install them, and find parts of your engine scattered all over the yard within a matter of seconds....study valve lift, ratios etc... before you just go and buy parts!

good luck!
