Installed a Cosmo Evolution short ram intake, however I didn't use the little Cosmo filter that came with it.. I got a giant (10.125in long x 6in round) Spectre on sale at O'Reilly Link to filter. Had to do a bit of head scratching and backwoods engineering to get it to fit (sri is something like 2-3/4in smallest ring on filter is 3in) I drilled my own hole for the temp sensor rather than adding length to the wire.... in retrospect I should have not used an auger/paddle bit that's meant for wood...hole ended up not so round..shoulda used the Dremel.. eh.. Gorilla Tape to the rescue! Which reminds me.. I forgot to plug the original temp sensor hole.

Yes, yes I know.. pics or it didn't happen :p

Nice!....though I love DOHC fours, I admit I'm a bit jealous. edit to add... What part of GR ya from BB? I'm over in Wyoming, 36th and Burlingame area.

A little off topic, but...
How hard is it to swap cruise control switches? found a couple aleros in the junk yard with them in real nice condition, mine the lettering is wearing off, and look rather bad. Also what parts would I wanna grab off a '95 Achieva S? other than intake cam.. on second thought I'll grab both cams.. hunting down the exhaust secret cam will be more effort than I wanna do.. also are the cams drop in and go, or is there modification needed? (i.e. take the same timing gears.. I just did timing set in January)

Bolts are behind the air bag... Have fun!

We got the new studs in, thermostat replaced. and the new manifold on. Turns out I had to modify the brake booster vacuum line a pinch so we left the rest for next weekend. Hope to have all the other goodies put on and ready for exhaust by the end of the week.


I don't like quoting such an old post but what header did you go with? Was it designed for the N-body, or was it designed for either J-body(Cavalier/Sunfire) or Delta (Cobalt/G5) cars?

Papa Rad17 05-15-2016 01:02 AM

The listing was titled as "Chevy Cavalier Malibu Grand AM Sunfire 2.2L Exhaust Manifold Performance Header" I believe its the same design as the M2 one on ebay (where I got mine as well). Its still on there, been on for about a year. Still in good shape, everything is holding up. I didn't use the gasket it came with. used 'Copper' gasket maker.

I renewed my Alero registration today. Might even start driving it next week. I don't drive it in the winter.

Redog 05-23-2016 09:31 AM

Parked it in the garage about 2 weeks ago. Suspended the insurance :(

:cry:


Renewed the registration last week. Today I installed a new eyelet on the negative amp cable, and drove it up town to get a spare key cut for the Intrigue. I think its time for some new front brake pads. BabyBlue's old setup is finally nearing it's end days after being installed used 2 years ago at homecoming. GM Parts Direct finally shipped out my new coil pack bolts yesterday, after two weeks! Next week she'll go in the garage to extract the old ones and get some fresh brake pads. 231,137 miles when I pulled into the car port earlier, still rips through the gears just fine. :awesome:

Changed the oil... Basic I know, but it needed to be done.

tw0123 05-25-2016 03:38 PM

i looked at mine last night... I was away for 4 days and missed her lol

CharmfulPeace 06-30-2016 04:36 PM

Today I put in some LED's under my driver side dash (Will move second over to Passenger side yet)




Figured that, instead of drilling holes in the trim or dash, I would use the little cubby to the left of the steering wheel for the switch


Also Painted my front emblem.




Sorry about the size of the images.. heh..

Also want to look at getting Izzy repainted yet because of the many spots where the paint has come off.
