I had nothing to do so I took my trusty Cavalier to a track day to see what’s hot and happening.

I’m all about that junkyard speed, found a few gems at the JY on the cheapo beepo to take home to upgrade the Cavalier.

I tagged along on his adventure at Blackhawk Farms Raceway and made a thing a year later lol.

I spent a good hour wandering my local junkyard today just to see all the cool stuff buried in there.

Yeah, base models did not have a tach so it’s all feel. Engine: 120hp/130tq 2.2L pushrod I4 9.0:1 comp ratio, mated to 5speed MK7 Isuzu Trans. Car weight hovering around 2950 lbs with driver.

Today is the day I begin bringing my 2003 Pontiac Sunfire GT back to life after croaking, left for dead over a year ago.

This car’s been needing one repair after another to keep it roadworthy. A simple brake job turned into replacing hardlines and my shifter cable went the way of the dodo. Classic Cavalier charm i suppose.

On Nov. 19 1993, GM and Toyota signed a deal to sell Cavaliers in Japan by 1996. Aiming for the sky, GM wanted to sell 20,000 units a year. They sold Just 36,228 in its entire 4 year run.

Who needs a fancy car museum where the cars are pristine and desired...The junkyard museum is my go to where I gawk at cars living out their golden years being harvested. Today’s spotlight falls on a 1998 Cavalier Rallysport.

I went Rallycrossing again with the Sports Car Club in Iowa last Sunday. The $500 craigslist car came in 1st in stock FWD class by 29 seconds!

Fixing some odds and ends that comes with the territory of owning a 22 yr old car.

The $500 craigslist car goes rallycrossing in Iowa with balding street radials and a whole lot of heart.

I’m a scavenger and such a simple man. I find stuff from the junkyard I like, I buy on the cheap cheap and put them on my car. Then profit?

I have a weak spot for old, problematic and cheap FWD GM cars that turn into money pits. This ‘97 Cavalier was bought on a whim without even a test drive.

Is there anything a whale tail CAN’T do?

There’s a photo of me next to my Dad’s brand new Yugo!
