Why not plan on making it to one of the meets in Woodbridge?

Also in your sig it say 2.0 ecotec. Did they make them in 2.0? I thought they were only in 2.2?

I've been to one of the meets in Woodbridge. Though it would be nice to take a 10 minute drive instead sometime... somewhere local and meet fellow Contourians. It'd also be nice for You to visit us!

In 2003 GM dropped the QUAD 2.4L 4 engine from the Z24 / GT line up and replaced the 2.2L 4 engine in all other Cavaliers and Sunfires. They began filling all the Cavalier / Sunfire engine bays with the new 2.0 Ecotec engine. It's got 140 ponnies, is pretty gutsy, gets better gas mileage over the old and is pretty bulletproof along with the tranny. And yes the valve cover gasket doesn't seep at 20k! Long overdue update on those cars too...now where's that Cobalt? Oh by the way...GM also installs that engine in their Saturn vehicles and other European products.

Woodbridge!?! Who wants to go to Woodbridge!?!

In all seriousness, It'd be nice to have a small local meet. Besides, the cops that hang around on 7 make it a nerve wracking experience.

If we could get another cpl ppl together it'd make for a fun night i think.

There is another option for wed. Every Wed, there is a show at Mapleview Mall in Burlington. Not to enter the show, but it'd be a neet place to gather and talk cars.

So i'm in for either. I hope that some of the others in the W. GTA would like to come. We have a great waterfront area for showing and hanging around.

So hey guys lets hear back and put something together.


Cheers!

I don't know what the heck I was thinking but it is a 2.2 Ecotec. Did an oil change on the car on Sunday and I knew about the literage before I opened the hood. I meant to say 2.2....blah...I HAD A LONG WEEK! Who's coming to my house warming party?

P.S. Anybody up for a Contour meet this coming weekend weather permitting?

there's Wed over @ Mapleview, or anytime around any of the local hangouts...
Personally i'd go for this weekend at Hutches. This week looks like rain, ruling out the mapleview cruise night, and the weekend looks to be the only break we're gonna get form this ark builders dream of a week.

If there's anyone else that would like to join on this or someother night chime in. It'd be great to have a 'Local Chapter' of the CEG.

No kidding eh...
I'd have thought there to be more interest in this with the number of kids running around with coffee can equipped zetec's.

Well Bar man... name the place n time
