New Member Here
Hello everyone, new member from Ontario Canada, and I just purchased my second Alero, since my last one was destroyed when it ended up in a river 3 years ago. New car is a 2003 gl coupe with the 3400 engine.
Since I do enjoy the looks of stock cars, because i don't like to draw unwanted attention. I won't be doing much to the exterior of the car, other then clearing the corners this weekend. But the car can definitely use more power, just feels a little slow (compared to the 380+ horsepower car I normally drive).
So over time I plan on doing many upgrades, but I need to start somewhere. So other then a tune up, I am thinking of starting with a cold air intake, and new headers. If anyone has suggestions on a CAI, I would appreciate it. I'm thinking of going with a mp-racing CAI.
I'm going to have more and better quality pics up very soon.
