Gotta drop that bitch though!

 

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?

 

What part of Texas are you from?

 

waco...

btw guys just got done shampooing carpet, cleaning seats, all plastics... and the headliner i think i got all the makeup out cept on the driver visor alittle.. got the cig lighter to work its just not staying in there

 

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

 

damn how do u fix the lighter? it works when its in but i really need it due to 30 mile drive to school on highway everyday... also do these cars kinda burp for a second right off idle when you go WOT seems like it shakes just for a sec then its smooth as silk after that can chirp 2nd to

 

half shaft/ cv boot damage. check for leak around ur front axle

 

cant be because im not moving, talking about idling and reving up
