Well I bought the car with alot of stuff done to it already and im just adding to it. I was planning to replace the clutch cause it started slipping but after getting new tires and getting on it the differential decided to blow up. When it blew it sent a nice junk out the side case and back into the gears. So that trans was shot and I ended up buying a used one for 350 thanks to Vince helping me find it. Now im just waiting for parts to put it all back together.

The exterior of the car is absolutely perfect, dont change a thing. The engine bay needs ALOT of work. Random wires everywhere, kinda reminds me of skunks engine bay. Once stuff like that is dealt with, it will be absolutely perfect.

Thanks man. I know the bay looks like crap. I don't even know where to start. I just painted all my hardpipes and my intercooler black. Im gona paint the computer black to. I just don't know where to put my fuse tray and have it look good.

ITs easy to relocate the ecm under the dash on your car.

I was just thinking of doing that today actually. I haven't been able to find a good place for my fuses cause of where my hardpipes are located. I just took some more pics of how everything is now and ill be posting them up tomorrow.

Very nice man, the only thing about the exterior I would change would be removing the side moldings. Other than that sweet car man.

Thanks man. I was debating on doing that cause I park in so many parking lots and I would be really mad to come out and see a nice door ding from some one who doesn't respect other peoples cars.

Looks good bro, love the wheels

LOL @ the gears!


What brand of catch can is that?


Re: My 04 Cavalier 5 speed

Ya the gauge pod actually turned out alot better then I thought. Ill take some pics of it all out tomorrow. The wheels are my favorite thing on the car lol. Well the gears in the differential I think were mesessed up with I bought it. But I thought it was just the slave cylinder and was planning to replace it all when I replaced the clutch. Does anyone have any opinions on where I should put my fuse tray? And thanks for all the compliments guys means alot.

And erik its just some cheap ebay one till I get a better one. Their was just a filter on it before and it was getting all full of blow by and spraying all over the bay. So I just threw it on for the time being.

Nice boosted cavi! I like those rims.
There was somebody on here that moved their fuse panel to the glove box. If you don't use your glove box then it's a great spot. Of course you could always make a bracket and mount it where you have it now but maybe level.

I would get rid of the hood, but the car is clean and overall i like it. Clean up the engine bay and your set. Match up the gauges, meaning either all black face, or white face and should be good.
