The weather finally coorperated yesterday and I was able to wash and detail the Sedan for the first time in about four months. I'm still rocking the 15" steelies for now because I am waiting to get some new center caps for the Nex-Os before I put them back on.
On a side note, in the second picture below you will notice our '94 Sunbird LE Sedan in the background. The rocker panels on it are basically non existent and it has 248,xxx miles, but it still runs and drives strong!
Also, here are a few random shots I took just to update my Car Domain page.
B&M Shift Plus switch mounted in the glovebox:
Vibrant rear strut bar (notice the Toyota Cavalier trunk lid liner in the background!):
Re-located cruise control module up under the driver's side dash:
Next up for the Sedan is a full suspension overhaul. I am currently waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive and than everything will be getting installed within the next month or so.
Thanks for looking.
Good stuff! Nice and clean

Currently I have KYB AGX struts and Eibach Pro Kit springs. I will be installing new AGXs (the current ones are blown), all new front and rear shock boots and bump stops, Overkill Engineering Motorsports solid front and rear strut mounts, '99 Grand Am GT aluminum front control arms with polyurethane bushings, a KEN2.2 sub frame brace, Eibach front and rear anti-sway bars and an Overkill Engineering Motorsports rear tie bar. Being that it's a 2200 I know I can't make much power with it, but I figure if I at least have a decent suspension setup I can at least have fun driving it on the back roads which is plenty for me since I'm not too into power anyway.

I love it!
lookin good.
Sort of
. I actually re-located the cruise control module last summer, but I had to move it up higher under the dash because my left would hit it so I figured for the hell of it I would take an updated picture of it moved higher up. It was a PITA, but well worth it given the extra space under the hood now (even though it's only a 2200
).
Thanks for the kind words guys! Keep 'em coming.
stock exhaust?

Yes, Matt it still has the stock exhaust. It's a 2200 remember

That's no excuse! Mine is more powerless than yours and even I have a catback

Wow nice job on the sedan, definitely my favorite sunfire for sure! I have always been inspired by the work you do because all of the mods are subtle and everything is clean, all about the details! Keep up the good work, can't wait to hear how the new suspension works out for ya. Are you still thinking about going with an eco someday? I'm so torn on which route to take mine, stick with the 2200, go eco, or go with a 3400. One day maybe I will decide once and for all!

Awww... thanks Chris! Subtle, clean mods are what I strive for so for you to say that really makes my day!
I cannot wait to get the suspension done. It rides like absolute @!#$ now because the struts are blown. Unfortunately my parts aren't showing up very fast.
I would love to do an ECO swap, but I will almost certainly just stay with the 2200 for the simple fact that doing the swap would be such a PITA. The 2200 has proven to be a very reliable engine and I'd rather have that than do a swap and have problems afterwards. At this point I am focusing more on the suspension and making the car fun to drive as oppose to making it fast anyway. Also, I noticed while detailing the car the other day there is quite a bit of rust on the underside so who knows what it will look like in another year or two. It may not even be worth doing an engine swap. We shall see...
Thanks for all the comments so far guys. Keep 'em coming.
