FS: '91 Z24 Cavalier turbo

[trickyrix]

A friend of mine is selling his old project car. Some of you know this car - it's very fast, well-built, and well-sorted. If you punch it in third gear, you will most likely wet your pants if you don't have a death grip on the wheel. Torque-steer is redefined, and there will likely be wheel spin to compliment the aforementioned torque steer. If I didn't have to buy a house, I would consider buying this thing just for the satisfaction of making Mustang/Camaro fanboys crap their shorts when they realize they've been pwned by an effing Cavalier. It's lots of fun. :)

Thought he might get a few nibbles here... I know, I know... it's a Cavalier, but it's a damn good sleeper.

I'm selling my '91 turbo Z24 so I can focus on a new project. Many of you know this car, but here's a rundown of what I've done to it:

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels & Tires
Tokico struts and shocks
Eibach Pro lowering springs
Energy Suspension poly bushings
Stock front sway bar
Addco rear sway bar
Cadillac STS 11.25" front brakes and spindles
Pontiac 6000 10.5" rear disc brakes
Camaro master cylinder w/Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve
ASA 16x7.5" wheels
BFG G-Force Sport 225/50 tires (less than 5K miles)

Engine, Turbo, ECU
3.1L V6 bored 0.020" over
Federal Mogul hypereutectic 8.9:1 pistons
Moly rings
Clevelite 77 bearings
Crower custom grind turbo cam
Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid with internal wastegate
Greddy Type-S blowoff valve
Spearco 2-115 intercooler
Custom crossover and complete 2.5" exhaust
GM heavy duty truck catalytic converter
Magnaflow muffler
Haltech E6A engine management
Laptop computer with software and backup programs included
Low-impedance 30 lb/hr injectors
Holley 255 lph fuel pump

Drivetrain
Stock Muncie-Getrag 5-speed
NEW Clutchmasters kevlar clutch
Driveshaft Shop custom chromoly axles

Interior
Custom AutoMeter Ultralite instrument cluster (tach, speedo, oil temp, water temp, boost)
A-pillar pod with AutoMeter Ultralite gauges (fuel level, oil pressure)
Alpine AM/FM CD w/aux input
Infinity speakers
Greddy Profec boost controller
Otherwise stock interior in excellent condition

This car is in excellent shape - I don't think you'll find a cleaner Gen II Z24 anywhere. It would be suitable as a daily driver, yet it is still very fast. The A/C works great, the car doesn't overheat, and the new clutch is sturdy but easy to use. I also recently replaced the steering rack with an AC Delco Z24 unit (quicker steering ratio). All the bugs are sorted out and it's ready to go. The car is located in Dallas, TX.

$6,000 OBO - I'm open to all cash offers. No trades, please. For additional info/pics, email me at [email protected].

It's lots of fun. :)

You speak the truth!

I never thought I could have lusty type feelings for a Cavalier but.....daaaayum.

Will it pass safety/emissions?

Yeah, it's a kick to drive, and quite a handful in lower gears.

Safety? No problem.
Emissions? I think the sticker's current, but the owner says the tune needs just a tad more tweaking to pass with flying colors.

[juxt3r]

Inspection and registration are indeed current.

That is a very nice change from the usual J-Body crap I see. Very nicely done to the owner, and I hope his next car comes out as well!

[trickyrix]

The "next car" is still an early work in progress - a '74 MGB GT stuffed with a fully-built, much hairier version of the ol' Cav V6, and ostensibly built for track days... should be fun.

Hope he's getting rid of the Lucus electrical gremlins while he's doing all of this.

Yeah... I don't think any of the original wiring will be left...

It's pretty much gutted at this point. It's shocking to see all the RadioShack-quality bullet connectors, inline fuses, etc that came from the factory.
