I hydro-planed into a curb, and I'm now replacing pretty much all of the the left front suspension and steering equipment. However the car is so very worth it! Other than that, no problems, though it did need a tune up when I got it.
I just downgraded from a super charged 5.0 Thunderbird, all because I liked the styling of the Cavalier Z 24 (I also got beat by one after a long day of dragging once, but I don't tell anybody about that), and the power that I found in this car awed me. I would have never believed that you could pack so much punch in such a small engine if I hadn't experienced it firsthand. And the intakes are actually functional, unlike the intakes on the mustangs!!! Everyone that doesn't own one is truly missing out.
I need your help... I have a 1989 z24 cavalier and I want to add a lot of horsepower to it. What can I do to add horse power. Please Email me at Canes615@aol.com and if your on aol or aim my sn is Canes615. Your help would greatly be appreciated thanx.
Well, she met an untimely death in the summer of '02... to that day (august 25th) I loved that car to death, the only somewhat major problem we ever faced together was the heater core @ $440. and wouldn't you know it she was totaled 10 days later. now every time I see a beautiful cherry red Z24 I get all choked up. sometimes I kick myself for not trying to bring her back to life, $3600 in body damage alone, not counting the suspension (rear left tire was horizontal, but still on the car, front tires both faced separate directions) and I only got half that from the insurance. ended up buying a 300ZX because I was out of state traveling when it happened and I needed something immediately. I still have it, and I still don't love it like I loved my first Z...
