If you want a shop to tune it for you, you might have a bit of trouble finding a place in calgary.

I have phoned/e-mailed everywhere, with no luck. You can forget about davenport motorsports. Even though they use HP Tuners, I asked for a tune and they told me that their tech has ZERO experience with a 4-cylinder.

I would maybe checkout Toma K @ Dynomotive

depends on what bulb went out AJ. mine was an LED that you would have to solder back on. and the ODO bulb IIRC is an LED.



JBO Stickers are back!!!! Click Me!!

if its the one behind the ODO, then its a bulb, I replaced 6 of them in the last week for people lol, sucks no matter where I go Icant get away from cars or modding , and because I wanna be a whore lol............





and it looks like replacing axel on red car soon, and working on selling her lowing the car, I do know a set of tokicos

It is a regular bulb on the Cavalier '95-'98 mechanical and '98-'99 LCD clusters. I can barely see the mileage when the headlights are on, meaning that the clusters bulbs are shining through the odometer. This wasn't the case on the '02 Sunfire odometer LCD display, which used an LED.

Brian go to wreckers and pull one out seriously doesnt take long, my bulbs I grabbed were out to 3 different 96 sunflowers lol, and that was before the flower interior swap, just need patience. yes 00+ used LED for the most part, but then again thats how I did it, you CAN also just remove a cluster out of a sunire in wreckers, MINOR modding needed to do to make work with Cavy dash, and you would never have to worry for some reasons the ODO problem was MAINLY in the Cavies, and not the Flowers, not sure why. but something to look at as VERY easy to do

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. it's common on both cars man, lol. my dad's burned out in 2005, he doesn't give a @!#$ about it though. I've seen it quite a few of them now too. also had a bunch of them come in for sunfire one aswell. so no, not mainly a cav problem.

I don't want to see ANY red in my car again! I don't want to be remembered of that @!#$box called a Sunfire that I once owned.

lol the sunflower interior is better anyways lol, but too bad Im so far lol, I found 16 odo bulbs sitting in my trunk lmfao

I dont know who you talked to at Davenport but they have no issues tuning a 4 cylinder. I have been there on numerous occasions and they will be helping me with some dyno time and tuning in the next few months on my cav. You can certainly try there Ty if you like. They seem to be good people over there and have been a lot of help so far for me.

Awesome, I will pop into there shop once im done school at the end of feb to see what they can do for me

Would be nice to have the thing running smoother and making decent power once spring is in full force


had a blown ecotec swapped 2000 cavy, now just an 02 Grand Am, and a 74 BMW 2002...

Does this Dwight guy you guys keep mentioning have any Gen 2s? I really need a working Getrag/Muncie HM-282.

No, he only works on the 3rd gens.

I talked to Namala at Davenport.

I talked to him on the phone, and via e-mail. This was the response I got through the e-mail:

"I discussed this with our tuner. He's had NO experience tuning a turbo 4-cylinder, and he doesn't feel that he would be the best choice for you to tune your vehicle. Sorry"




So I bought HP Tuners, and am doing it myself

Might not need to worry about it now. There's a guy selling everything I need for a 3800 S/C swap for cheap. If its still there on Friday, it'll be mine. Then I just need to sort out the body work and we'll be golden.


2010 Honda Fit LX

i'd hope that its cheap... those parts are dime a dozen


had a blown ecotec swapped 2000 cavy, now just an 02 Grand Am, and a 74 BMW 2002...

$250 for everything.

2010 Honda Fit LX

@!#$ that's cheap. Hopefully it works as well as the guy says it does.

Nice!

So for under a grand, I will have a 240 HP sleeper. Wonder if I can make it 300 HP and obvious...


2010 Honda Fit LX

Oh, and I might have someone buying the old engine + transmission. Just have to get the cav body out to the farm so I have welding equipment and help with the swap.


2010 Honda Fit LX

Anyone here able to fix an exhaust leak? I think I have a bad gasket on the exhaust manifold.

Brian the leaks are easy to fix lol, you would know by the sound where its coming from, Tony hate to be the guys for bad news but 3800???? Good luck not as easy as you think the 3400 is easy as hell but 3800 hope you like fabricating lmfao, and yes I would know, thats why my 91 Z ended up being 3400 turbo charged, WAY TOO MUCH WORK for the 3800 swap

"As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride." -Amen

AJ, learn to read. it comes with EVERYTHING.


but I'm betting the whole thing is for a 3rd Gen and not a 2nd, hahahahahhaha.






dude, if it is, sell it to me for the same.

Oh I know it'll be a pain in the ass, but its there, its cheap, and if nothing else, I can find a different body to swap it into and take my time (I still have a Beretta body at the farm in better shape than the cav in most places) and just have the trans in my Z rebuilt.
