My cavalier was lost to an accident back in February this year. After recovering it from the insurance company we stripped it down to nothing and i was left with a pile of Jbody parts, some sold immediately and some sitting around. So after searching long and hard for a really really clean fresh start i found this 2004 fire. Car was one owner, bone stock and maintained routinely at the dealer from which it was bought (saw carfax). By April it was s/c'ed . Pics:


































I originally fully intended to keep this a stock-ish/bolt-on daily driver. However, here it sits, and I've since scored some cams and haven't decided where i want to take the build yet. I've considered everything from throwing them in with some valve springs, to building a whole ported head, to building another LE61. I'm in no rush, as the car is in a good reliable, economical place right now...

C&C welcome.

lol sleeper. nice!

nice find, car looks great

i really do love that model sunfire. imho it's the only sunfire that looked good from the factory.

i want boost

looking good





RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

Looks great! Now tint the windows! Sleeper FTW

Thanks guys. Tint, HIDs (cause the stock head lights SUCK), and possible subtle VHT on the tails are the only cosmetic mods that are on the to-do list. Once i have time i want to clean up the catch can install a bit too, and find a more inconspicuous place for it.

So clean i love this car

very clean. very nice

this is just my opinion, but I've loved it since I saw it on Micah's Sunfire.. painting the plate bezel satin black. I think it looks amazing like that, and some VHT'ed tails would make it look even better

Very clean. I really didn't expect to see the s/c after seeing the first few pics of the exterior.

Thanks Evan. I would post a pic of mine, but my computer refuses to let me upload to photobucket for some reason.

Looking good Ryan! Like I said before, I LOVE the sleeper aspect...I love seeing the 'fire out on the highway and not a thing about it would make you guess there's a blower hiding under the hood! And I think some VHT on the tails would look great!

It just needs a set of 17x7.5" 35mm offset wheels.

Speaking of which i have a set of tail that are in need of tint....






its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

If I ever break down and buy a new eco to drive around, its gonna be a stock 03+ sunfire, this thing is a awesome sleeper with the blower under there.

Car is looking great so far,Nice sleeper look to it,Did you install the H/E yet on,I have to get mine on soon,lol....And what cams did you ended up getting for it,,Nice work

No heat exchanger, and no intentions to run one - i pulled the cores. I have the IAT mounted in the manifold, and with the water meth the IATs during a pull are well controlled. Also keep in mind this is the stock 3.35" pulley and i won't be pulleying down.

I grabbed the comp stage 1 cams because they were super cheap. Realizing these are not the "ideal" cams for a blower set up, it will be better than stock. As you know the blower grind shares intake specs with the stage 1 grind. I will baseline dyno before anything else is installed though.

well looks good let me know your numbers,I am still on stock pully also,But now thinking of going to the TVS Charger next month,we will see,And also got a new race head for mine,So be interesting to see what i put down..Keep us posted

Grabbed a head to work on. It will get a mild port and bowl clean up, +1mm valves, supertech springs and the comp stage 1's







Might very well be going to pick up an LE5 tomorrow...

Y only stage ones?

because i got them super cheap. I wasn't going to do anything after the blower, but at 150 shipped for the cams, it kinda opened a can of worms lol.

I just got happy in the pants

Continue, and I say leave the tails alone. Keeps the look more sleeper.


Want hub spacers rear disk brackets or trailing arm bushings? Shoot me a PM.

After seeing Micah's new sig i vote on picking up a spare tail light filler piece and having it wrapped in C/F.

LE5 didn't work out cause they didn't want to help me load it in my car lol. So i worked on cleaning the head.







It wasn't overly dirty to start with, but for submerging it in degreaser/water, scrubbing every orifice i could, then taking a hose to it, it turned out pretty well.
