July 21, 200718 yr This is my 2003 Chevy Malibu LS it has the 3100 LG8 V6... Its my first car and i really didn't know if i was going to like it at first, but then i drove it a little and i fell in love. It's LG8 pushes 170hp stock which isn't horrible for a car its size. The 3100lbs it wieghs is heavy but tolerable. I love the feel of stepping on the accelerator and i want to do some engine work now... suggestions would be great!
July 21, 200718 yr from that pic looks pretty clean, nice. i don't know of much engine work that can be easily done to that engine, i have a 99 monte 3.1L. you talking about dress up work or digging into it? welcome to C&G also.
July 21, 200718 yr Welcome to C&G! Looks great in black! 3100 has some performance mods courtesy of the Grand Am.
July 21, 200718 yr Nice car...I personally don't like them because the ones I drove had squishy brake feel, lifeless steering, uncomfortable/cheap plastic steering wheel with plastic "stitching" that dug into my hand...and I found the accelerator too sensitive/not progressive enough. But that's just me...looks nice in black..hope she's good to you!
July 21, 200718 yr I took my driver's test in an '00 Malibu, my Grandma's at the time. The brakes decided to randomly lock up on me when I was coming to a stop. Damn thing. Looks nice, though. Edited July 21, 200718 yr by blackviper8891
July 21, 200718 yr Keep on truckin' in your Malibu, sir, and welcome to C&G, the car looks good. From what I remember, the Malibu earned some quality awards. Strangely, I don't remember the Intrepid or Millenia doing any such thing. :AH-HA_wink:

I'm just looking for a a few more horses nothing too major.... but something still noticable
July 21, 200718 yr Not bad for a first car... save you money for performance upgrades for something RWD, Welcome to Cheers & Gears!
July 22, 200718 yr Welcome to C&G! GM's Wilmington assembly plant produced this car from 1997 - 1999. I test drove this car from Oklahoma City to Wilmington, Delaware for GM in 1996, it was a fun road trip. Nice car...I personally don't like them because the ones I drove had squishy brake feel, lifeless steering, uncomfortable/cheap plastic steering wheel with plastic "stitching" that dug into my hand...and I found the accelerator too sensitive/not progressive enough. But that's just me...looks nice in black..hope she's good to you! Rightttt, you like the car, but you hate everything about it? How does that work? Don't listen to him JFitz03Malibu, after all he drives a Chrsyler product! Edited July 22, 200718 yr by Pontiac Custom-S
