Nice list of mods there. Finally, another person with a muscle car AND a 1st gen CL on this forum, lol. By the way, is that the LS1 WS6 ('98-'02) style hood you have?

Well drove it home today, time to clean up here's what i'v noticed and i had a few questions

car looks like it has all new stuff like alt, starter, compressor engine is very clean all new belts even new air filter (pretty clean)

Tires are goodyear assurances.. 7/32 or 8/32 dont have my gauge

the clutch in first i dunno if these cars are just touchy i get up to like 4,000 real quick like its slipping but it doesnt slip at all shifting @ WOT or normal and the clutch feels great..

Everything on the inside works but the lighter it comes out and is nasty, cup holders are to aswell as the seat/visor having tons of makup on them am going to shampoo the carpets and floor mats tonight.. Gonna need a new ciggy lighter it just pulls out with whatever i plug in

raced my friends 04 Cav LS ecotec for giggles, door and door is that where the car should be about?

real nice car man. way to rep the primrose!
the clutch is on the soft side, at least my 97 one was
the cig lighter is a pain, mine stopped working and then kept getting stuck or needed to be held in to work properly
and yes, you should be pretty close with the cavalier
