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. |

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
Wed, May 22 2024When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
