Your first problem is that you are still living with your parents.......
Secondly, yes you don't have the power adder it deserves, but if you buy his block, i could probably help you out with that, you know maybe get you a second set of the custom whipple mounts
As far as the tranny, i can't help you out there because I got his tranny going in my car, oh and I got his cam too so you would need to buy a new one for the block too.......

uhhhh i just now moved back into my parents place because they offered me a place to get back on my feet since my roomate left me hanging, but imo 1200 $ for an la1 with 0 miles on it doesnt seem bad to me, im not in to the whole "replace with used" unless i know whats in it.....

but johns motor sounds nice i just dont have the place or time to drop it in any time soon, so if i got it, it would just sit until i had my own place to do it my self....


and no people no motor swap unfortunetly la1 for alero life yo

yo -Alero-. i just noticed you lived in bmore. what part? i live in randallstown ( owings mills area ) if u r still considering doing the head gaskets yourself, id be more then willing to help. ive done them on a 3100 before. not too hard. easier than the cavalier i had (ugh). PM me if ur interested.

Does that new LA1 come with a warranty?

That is the plan for my rebuilt engine with a cam

[oldskid33]

milzy's stage 2 kit!!!!! hellz yes!

[Bad99Olds]

haha that leaves a poor taste in peoples mouths apparently after his stunt as ASS and johns experience with his injectors

[kwhauck]

wot-tech FTW!!

[Bad99Olds]

amen. ben really has his shit together over there. talked to him several times. very knowlegable, nice guy. wot-tech ftmfw.

[alerored04]

WOT-Tech x3. Out of curiousity what did milzy pull at ASS?

[Bad99Olds]

wasnt there, but from what i heard he was responsible for giving out a tune as a door prize or something, and didnt show up/didnt follow through.

if im wrong please correct me

ok so just got the car back and had both head gaskets replaced, it appears they put the car back together rather sloppy, a bunch of wires are exposed and not placed where they should be, sigh no big deal just 90 minutes of my time re routing, and replacing all the effing up wire loom

but they also put shitty ass penzzoil organic 10-30 in.....and for some reason they couldnt put the 5w 30 mobil 1 oil 5 quart jug i had sittin in the passenger seat into my car.....cool i guess, so i had to change that and when i changed the oil i noticed a whole bunch of mettalic flake in the oil, so thats cool hope thats something serious

but other than that it feels like my car lost alot of power.....like i have to mash the gas alot harder and it has to downshift alot more.....i dont know why maybe its just me i dunno but i feel like i have lost so much low end...sigh....

car just doesnt feel right, i dunno maybe its just me.....i wish i could of done it myself but i didnt have the garage to do it in.... oh well i guess....

[undecided02]

Ya metallic flakes dont belong in your oil. dunno how the eff they would get there but I would seriously consider whooping your mechanic's ass. then again im a shoot first and never ask questions type of person.

[-Alero-]

well im calling the dealership about it tommorw, knowing thye will probably feed me some bullshit story to brush me aside and just ignore it, but no worries ill write down the date i call and what they say so that way if something happens ill just be like "i brought it to your attention"

[-Alero-]

also noticed my idle was rather high and i said hey why not, so i took it back to the dealer and it turns out i have a vacuum leak on the cylinder 3 fuel injector o - ring..........eff me right?
