2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Ls Sport Coupe 2-door 2.2l Iasca, Meca, Usac on 2040-cars
Indian Trail, North Carolina, United States
Up for sale is a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS sport. The real value in this car is in the audio system itself. If you piece out the audio system you should get the car for close to free. If the issues described above are addressed, car blue books for 2577.00. Audio only, not including alternator, wiring, or fuse and fuse holders are valued right now for 2895.00 for a total value 5472. That is conservative on the audio system value. This car has been built with the idea of audio competition in mind. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to actually compete with the vehicle. I have many friends that have done so, and most describe the sound of this vehicle as something that some people spend their whole life trying to achieve. It is truly spectacular. I will get into the details of the audio system shortly. First, the car itself is in good mechanical condition with a couple of exceptions. The car needs paint. I plasti dipped the car to get it looking as good as possible as cheap as possible. If that is not for you the car can be peeled and the original paint revealed. The original paint job is peeling off at the hood, roof, and deck lid where the sun has peeled off the clear coat. There is also an area around the gas tank that started to peel due to fuel I assume. These ares have been sanded, and smoothed out prior to coating the car with the plasti dip. The plasti dip protects the rest of the paint in the meantime. Other issues the car has is that the power window motor on the drivers side has started to slow down and most likely will need to be replaced soon. There is also a tear in the roof liner, a small hole in the dash on the passenger side, the heat deflector no longer deflects to the floor, and the car does burn oil. I have been keeping track of it and checking it at every fill up. The good is that other than those things I listed the body is straight, no other mechanical issues, car runs and drivers great as is. I just want to make sure that there are no surprises. About the audio system: Head unit is comprised of a Pioneer DEX P9 and a DEQ P9. Original retail on the head unit was over 2000.00. Sound quality is amazing, and the unit looks brand new. All wiring is Knuconceptz. The front stage is made up of custom fiberglass tweeter pods that hold the JBL 560 GTI tweeters and the waveguides that acompany this component set. The 560GTI mid is housed in a tightly seeled fiberglass kick panel enclosure. These mids alone sealed in the enclosure provide a nice kick to your chest. The doors have been modified to fit a 10" midbass driver with less than 3 1/4 inch depth. Currently both doors hold a 8" Melodic Acoustic Intimid8r midbass. These midbass drivers are outstanding and sound amazing. The substage consists of 2 JBL W10gtimkii subwoofer in a ported box designed by PWK designs. Amazing ouptut, depth and clarity. My favorite subs along with Boston Acoustics G5 and the JL W7. Powering the drivers are 3 PPI 900.4 amplifiers and JBL BPX 2200.1 for the subwoofers. Each channel of the 900.4 is bridged to an individual driver. Each tweeter gets 450 watts. Each mid gets 450 watts. Each 8 gets 450 watts. The two subs are seeing about 2600 watts of power total. RMS power of the system is a tad greater than 4000 watts. Over 100 hours have gone into the tuning of this system alone. Here is a list of the items and the original prices: Pioneer P9 combo 2600.00 JBL 560gti 5 1/4 components 1299.00 Melodic Acoustic 8's 500.00 2 JBL W10gti 599 each JBL BPX 2200.1 899.00 3 PPI 900.4 225.00 each 2 XS Power D3400 259 each 250 amp alternator 250.00 over 2000.00 in wiring and deadening total 9400 approx not including installation. Install on a job like this would run around 5-6000 as nearly all of it has been custom fabricated. A good pair of kicks will cost 5-700. I am selling for 4200 OBO. I am going to try this post for a couple of weeks before I go ahead, yank all this stuff out and sell the car. Removing this system would be a travesty. More photos will be available by request. Serious inquiries only. Thanks for taking the time to check out my listing. |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
