About Chevy’s

Andrew Barker asked:


Chevrolet is no doubt part of an American heritage that witnessed the evolution of the automotive industry. Chevrolet has long been the most famous and largest vehicle in America and for those who drive them, there is no doubt of the statement they make just by parking a Chevy sports car or just by displaying a huge GMC truck.

A trait that goes along with their popularity is the fact that Chevrolet is the only automotive company in America that manufactures and produces vehicles that can easily be customized. Actually, no car manufacturer out there can match Chevrolet’s wide array of aftermarket parts available for their vehicles. Chevrolet prides itself with a variety of accessories and parts available for its vehicles.

If you are planning to customize or personalize your Chevrolet by using Chevrolet body kits, then keep in mind these very important reminders since customizing your Chevy can get quite complicated.

Before you go ahead and buy your Chevrolet body kits, make sure that you at least have a background about what body kits are all about. Knowing a little or at least something about body kits can help you make a better choice in picking the right kit for your car. Choosing the right kit for your car is essential because the correct kit stays with your car until it becomes unusable.

Nobody said it was that easy to choose the right Chevrolet body kits for your precious vehicle. To help you in picking the right Chevrolet body kits, I have prepared these six steps that you can follow to ensure that you are getting the value of your money in buying Chevrolet body kits.

Model and Make Year. Make sure that you order a body kit that is specifically made for your vehicle. Though this may seem really easy, many people always end up ordering a wrong body kit thinking that they customize it to fit. No matter how beautiful the design or style is, if it does not fit your car, then it will be useless. You have to be certain that the body kit you will order is specifically intended to fit the model of your vehicle.

Fiberglass or Urethane. Body kits are made of two basic materials: Fiberglass and Urethane. On one hand, Urethane is more dent resistant but if it gets severely damaged, it cannot be repaired. Fiberglass, on the other hand, breaks easier but can be repaired. Most people go for a fiberglass body kits, but Urethane can also be a good choice if there is a tendency for you to get too close when you drive.

Style or Look. Another thing you have to consider greatly is, of course, the look that you want to achieve. Creativity is limitless with the right body kits. Personalized your vehicle the way you want it to be. Just make sure that the body kits will really fit your car.

Finished Look of a Kit. The best way to look for the best Chevrolet Body Kits for your vehicle is by browsing pictures of it already installed in the car. You can check out i love body kits to see how cool the finished look will be.

Body Kits Painting. Think of how you will paint your Chevrolet body kits. Can you paint it all by yourself or are you going to let a body shop paint it for you? Are you going to let the kit be installed first and then painted or will it be painted first then installed? Usually, fiberglass kits are easier to paint. If you plan to install and do the painting job all by yourself, then fiberglass Chevrolet body kits will be easier to work with.

Installation Considerations. Lastly, you have to take note of installation considerations before ordering a kit. Make sure that the kit comes with a hardware to install it. If it doesn’t, then you have to order it together with the kit. You may also have to consider all the extra parts you are going to need. For instance, some body kits require dual exhaust. If your vehicle has only a single exhaust, you may need extra parts so the body kits can work.

Following these guidelines or steps will ensure that you are making an informed decision and give you the best value for your money in choosing the best Chevrolet body kits that will hopefully last for years to come.

For several years in the North American, market for used sedans has witnessed an all-out war between the used Toyota Camry and pre-owned Honda Accord. So, not surprisingly, General Motors engineers have taken them as an example for the total redesign of the Chevrolet Malibu.

If you would like to consider buying a used Malibu sedan is available in four models: LS, LS1, LS2 and LTZ, each progressively add more elements of luxury and standard equipment. The used LTZ with the V6 engine of 3.6L, and the standard LS with a 4-cylinder 2.4L are highly popular used vehicles.

The 4-cylinder 2.4L that produces 160 horsepower and has a fuel efficiency of 22 mpg in traffic, and up to 30 mpg on roads open, this comes with automatic transmission with four-speeds. The second is the same but with a four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic gearbox, The third is the 3.6L V6 that produces 252 horsepower, with a fuel consumption rating of 17 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the open road, it comes as standard on the LTZ. Finally, the newest version of the used Malibu is a hybrid based on the same 4-cylinder 2.4L but with an electrical system that assists engine combustion.

In addition, the Malibu is available in a used hybrid vehicle version with an electric motor that assists the gasoline engine and promises to pay out up to 32 miles per gallon on the road, and the version of five-door Malibu MAXX, which is still based on the Malibu previous generation, used car.

At first glance, the used Malibu impresses-especially when we see higher LTZ version with its silvery 18-inch wheels, chrome exhaust and fog lights, among other touches of distinction. The newer exterior design seems to present a great harmony between the elegant and sporty, but not with extremes. The big split front grille proudly displays the logo of the golden mark-as if the car was saying, “Look, I am a Chevrolet!” The aerodynamic profile is distinguished by high doors and short trunk with a capacity of 16 cubic feet, which help create a more spacious interior now becoming highly sought after by many buyers of used cars.

The truth is that the used Malibu of the last few years has a vastly improved new attention to detail and quality of materials especially inside the vehicle, and combined with the smooth handling and low engine and exterior noise allow occupants of this quality used vehicle to make the most of my favorite XM radio station XM. Chevy has a used car winner in their hands and is in a great position when it comes to the competition in the form of a used Camry or a pre owned Accord, the Malibu is a very capable used auto contender, and car that is very important in the history of this classic American brand.

The interior is practical, with a well-designed instrument panel; the indicators are simple and easy to read, illuminated by a light blue. The used LTZ version is especially attractive with a design of two-tone colors in the interior, chrome accents, center console, leather seats, and sound system with eight speakers, XM satellite radio and OnStar, among other amenities offered from this quality used vehicle.

Thanks to the independent suspension at all four wheels and a long distance between the axles of 112.3 inches, the Malibu behaves like a luxury used car: smooth, balanced and quiet. This is a good all round quality used vehicle worth investigating.

1994 Chevrolet with 350 all gears shift fine except when it goes into overdrive, it begins to shift and the rpm begins to drop. However, the rpm does not drop fully before pausing in the middle and then dropping the rest of the way. Someone said this might be a slipping clutch. Is this serious? It still smoothly shifts into overdrive, but just that pause makes me a little worried. Thanks.

Those looking to buy a used sports car are very familiar with the ultra-classic Chevrolet Corvette, This is one of the few models that have managed to stand the test of time. And adapt to the changes that have transformed the used auto industry over the last 55 years that the almighty “Vet” has been part of the used car motoring scene.

The modern used Chevrolet Corvette features a projection system for on-board data display onto the windshield, designed to let the driver keep his eyes on the road at all times. Good for day and night, and it is steerable, so that the engine speed, oil pressure, speed and the basic parameters of the machine are available to drivers, as found in a fighter aircraft. An original 1953 first generation Corvette is a long way from that kind of high tech equipment.

One thing the modern used Corvette shares with the original is that it just plain looks good. The corvette through the ages has consistently produced classic sports car lines that used car dealerships love to park close to the road to attract rubber-necking of less fortunate used vehicle drivers.

You do have to be a little energetic to lower yourself into the cockpit like environment of the passenger area that sits pretty low to the ground. The whole vehicle is “low slung” and the front skirt has a tendency to be easily caught on any high roadside object especially when parking, but that’s one of the very few minor drawbacks to this iconic used car.

If you are search the classifieds or trawl your local used auto dealers the most likely engine you will find in a used corvette is the 5.7L version that gives out 340 hp, which is a very powerful motor but it does devour gasoline. But this is a sports supercar, the brand has introduced numerous nuances in this legendary small block, aimed primarily at a sweetened response, to make it more pleasant and above all cleaner in terms of its CO2 output, fast becoming a major part of used vehicle considerations.

The latest engine is a 427 cubic inch 435 horsepower with the new system of no less than three twin barrel Holley carbs, although a rare L88 model was offered, with the help of a single quad-carb from Holley, which is capable of a whopping 560 horsepower. Although the GM listed its output at 430hp, they indicated that this model was strictly intended for operating on a closed circuit, and not to be used on the road. And we are sure that anyone who could get behind the wheel of such a used dream car would not want to show it off on the open road, then again.

If the truth is told, it is the name that is perhaps one of the main attractions of a used Corvette. It has a certain appeal that comes from its very long history and many people strive to buy a used Corvette because it was the first car that interested them when they were children or perhaps their favorite uncle owned one. This is a used vehicle that is very much built on history and reputation.

But on balance, we are talking about a V8, which already was an old acquaintance in the fifties, when it was introduced in the first Corvette. You can not go wrong with any generation of the stunning used Corvette; just take a trip around the used car dealers to see what is available.
