A winter in the books.

[HooWybrow]

Some of you might remember this car from a previous thread last fall entitled "Boosted and Slammed, but that's all", or even have spotted it at H20i last year.

Well, a LOT changed over winter, and I'm happy to say (I think) for the better.

A summarized list of what happened:

-car now runs 5x115 as opposed to 5x100
-knuckle swap in the front, now running LSx camaro 12" brakes.
-Independant rear suspension, Alero 12" disc brakes now out back.
-running adapters front and rear with 35th anniv. Vette wheels with effective offsets of +12 front and -1 rear.
-195/45/16 tire front and 205/50 (piss poor decision on my part) on the rear.
-Engine bay was tubbed, painted and most of the engine compartment has been totally reworked.
-Exhaust has been completely re-done and is as tight to the body as physically possible
-LSD installed in trans

These wheels are far from final. I hope to be ordering new wheels late this week, early next, in a 17x9/9.5 combo. Also the rear lower control arms need to be shortened slightly, so I don't get such ridiculous camber out back.

Aside from that, I'll let the pics do the talking, I'll post the same pics from last year, then post the new ones. I tried to duplicate the same angles.











And the new:

















And for anyone who is interested, here is the build thread:

about an hour west of Mississauga in a little city called Stratford.

Should be at the stretch and poke meets this summer! And whatever else I find to cruise to, got a few buddies local with some neat junk too.


Thanks everybody else!

Rear needs work for sure, but hoping to clean it up with the new wheels.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm NO

It turned out great. I think your the first Caviler or Cobalt to really pull of Vett wheels nicely.

[Zayan]

Love how low you have it.

[GTIKole.]

Have to say I like this. Nice to see something different.

Thanks dude, Ive seen a black SS (Mike's) and a blue one on here (both cobalts) on vette wheels that pulled them off pretty good... or really as good as vette wheels can look... which isnt very good

Love how low you have it.

Thanks dude, it's maybe a little over the top, but whatever.

man, that stance is mean. MEAT!!! so much win

Thanks dude, maybe too much meat out back for me... but it doesnt look aweful.

Thanks dude.

I haven't seen too many low cars as of late; very glad to know how well you're rollin' in this.

cavaliers aren't exactly known for stance, but I think you've nailed the fitment. the vette wheels seem fun, but rare german meshies would be killer. maybe you can start saving?

Thanks a bunch dude.

I have wheels in mind but they won't be to any "purists" tastes on here. 17x9/9.5. To be honest I bought this thing a little over a year ago as a daily that was just going to be "lowered a tad". Much like everything else it's spiralled out of control and wound up here. I'll be buying the new wheels, cleaning up the rear fitment a lot then pretty much calling the car done.

I've got a '52 GMC pickup that's calling my name - that's the real project.

love the low, not feeling either set of wheels, but still better then any other cavi i've ever seen.
