Sad day, but a good one at the same time.
Imo could my little 2.2 go to 300 or 400 k kms.? No doubt in my mind, burns a little oil but im way harder on it than i should be lol

Love this little car haha

That's only like 124300 miles... that car will run a long time with proper care. There are some people poo me with 05s with close to 350000 miles.

 

I bet you could.i think all gms burn or 'use' a bit of oil lol

 

Good work brah. Props and go for 400k!

My 2002 ecotec sunfire rolled a bit over 350k before it was parted out and scraped by the guy I sold it too. I even supercharged it at 125k, engine never gave me any problems. I regret selling it to this day.

 

Mine doesn't Rear mains are common on the cobalts.

 

Its a milestone. 200k is no chump change, especially in this freezing claimate i live in.
If this motor went on me today, id put a new one in tomorrow. Same with tranny. Although my front end realy took a **** this winter, come june im doing a complete re-do once some potholes and such are filled

Ecotec Powa FTW!

 

I havent had a single major issue with it. ( i made a $400 booboo, but was mybad) Never left me on the side of the road once. Not even in -50 degree celcius temps . No block heater and shes yet to not start on one of those morning.

I had a 94 dakota i destroyed in 20k kms , a 02 sentra that blew up before 15k kms, few other misc problematic vehicles. This ones been the beat by far, and i put on WAY more kms on it.

 

GM did very well building the ecotec platform.

 

I have 310,000+ KMs on mine. Here is the pic of when i turned 300,000 on my LSJ




Its no longer a daily driver. I took it off the road for the first time this winter.

 

Not to bug you, but you either got lucky with the one good sunfire engine, or you drive like a granny. Don't see many later model sunfires around.

 

Man my LSJ didn't burn a single drop at 167k.
The ecotec will go on forever.

 

Thanks for the compliment. No doubt it was a good engine, aswell as my 1st car, self bought with cash I saved for 5 months. Respected and modded the right way for reliability. Just like the CobaltSS will be.

Brakes->Wheels->CAI->Exhaust->Supercharger->Stage 2 Clutch->Suspension->Sound system. I just wish I kept going and put on an intercooler/hp tune instead of the gm super rich flash.

I regret selling it. My friend I sold it too did not appreciate her and gave it to the junkyard the second his girlfriend's dad bought them a new kia soul...Didn't even offer to let me buy it back.
