Hi all, I'm John. I was searching on google and came across these forums. I needed a good source for my beater cavalier, and this place seems to be the right place. Why am I here? Well, my wifes 97' Cavalier needs a new head gasket and I'm going to tear the motor apart this winter as a fun project. Gonna build it back up with my brother in law for fun. So.. if I had questions, I needed a good place to ask em, this is the place!
I'm actually not a USDM tuner, I'm into the JDM scene. But.. I'm not a USDM hater by any means. I love all cars but prefer Japanese makes. I started a group called the bB Squad (www.bbsquad.net) and I'm an active member as well. I have a 2006 Scion xB aka Toyota bB and I absolutely love it. Here are a couple pics of my box (car...
) :
So thats my daily.
On to whats important. What is a good source for buying replacement parts for Cavaliers, especially the 97's. Also, anyone have the part number for the head gasket? Thanks!

For some reason, when I look at those things, I imagine one pulling up to a club with some guy opening the back doors to reveal a mobile DJ service stuffed in the back. Sort of like "look at me, I'm shaped like a squared-off delivery van", but at the same time "I'm hip, cute, and from Japan". It makes my brain hurt.

97 with the 2.2L i assume.
gmpp direct I also recommend. But, if it is for fun, why not just swap in an ecotec? much much much more pep.....better gas (IME)....and much more fun to drive.
You on SL at all?
