Whats broken, or damaged on your car?
Saturday, April 16, 2005 6:23 AM
Car : 2003 Cavalier Base Coupe

Currently running no shifter or E brake boot, have a small gouge on the passengers side side of dash where my seat hit the dash, several small dents on the drivers rear and front fender.

Uhh thats it.

Anyone else?

Car : 1999 Cavalier Z24


sunroof broke yesterday (something wrong with the motor i think)

front bumper is beat to hell

nice ding in the driver's door from some old FART..

TPS is faulty, my idle RPM likes to change a lot

exhaust leaks (but the RK-Magnaflow combo ALWAYS will until it's welded)

KYB struts are blown, the ride is pretty terrible


i think that's it, i've been fixing things on it left and right lately to get ready for a show at the end of this month.

WOW, where do I begin? 2 Cavaliers:

First is the 96, 2.2 5-speed base model:

1) Wheel bearings are bad, again!-96
2) Dash noises-96 and 97
3) Front end noises-96 and 97
4) Brakes always need changed-96 and 97
5) Passender side rear and trunk lid are dented, has white paint where my g/f let it roll back and hit a shed(e-brake didnt hold)-96
6) Clunk in the rear when backing up

Im sure there is more, alot more, just cant think right now.
