• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

'97 Z24. paid exactly $0.00 for it. motor is blown, threw a rod. going to throw one in, and use it as my DD this summer. its got pw windows/locks/mirrors, sunroof, a/c, ABS, ETS, CD player, remote keyless entry/alarm, spoiler, front fogs, and alloy wheels. i believe its all just the Z24 package, but w/e.


i refitted the bra, it looks good when its on straight. i've also got rid of the dent in the right rear 1/4 and buffed out all the paint/smudging.

you can see the huge pile of oil under the car, and running out from in front of the passenger wheel.

so what do you guys think? not bad for the gas i spent to tow it home huh?
 


^^honestly, ive been thinking about it. i wish i could find a HO 2.3... but i can get a complete '88 Cavi w/ a 2.3 for $400. the body is trashed, but its got a good motor. i wish i could get a HO and S/C it. but thats a bit out of my budget haha


oh yeah, and. this use to be my niece's car, thats why its got the bra and lei haha. my brother just called me up out of nowhere and was like "hey you remember that blue Z24 infront of my house? well the motor blew, you want it?.. its yours!" lol
 
new cavaliers....suck. my lady has a 4 cylinder 2001 and the oil filter is SO hard to change. easiest way is to take the passenger wheel off. LAME.

id love one of these with an l67:

^^ its a 2.2 huh? yeah, i only took the car, because its got a 2.4 Twin Cam. the oil filter is in basically the exact same spot as on the LHO.

if you really want one, my friend has an '88 Z24 convertible, with a 2.8. he said it runs great, body is in great shape, as is the interior, but the top is pretty rough. said he would sell it for $600. same dude with the '01 Special Edition GP
 
lol my l67 days have just begun... but my girl has a 01 z24 so i know how to change the filter lol... still sucks b/c its mounted horizontally and always runs down the block when you change the oil.. o well.
 
Yup...what is it with GF's and Cavi's? Mine has an '05 and I HATE changing the oil filter on it lol Just did it yesterday.
 


no. idk what u guys are talkin' about. i get a drop of oil on the ground. thats it! the ECOTEC is way different than the 2.2 and the 2.4!
 


Nice find. Be sure to dog the crap out of it when you get it back running. lol
 
too bad the 2.4 has terrible low end... thats why an m62 would be suited nicely on the 2.3 HO b/c once that motor hits 3000 rpm its a bat outta hell
