Hey guys so recently work has been slow because of winter and ive been getting alot of days off due to it. Anyways not having anything to do is getting pretty boring and i have a decent amount of money saved up so i was thinking about spending it on my alero!

Buuuut im not really sure where to start or what to do :/ so i came here looking for possibly some ideas or recommendations. I dont plan on doing anything to crazy tho like a full turbo set up

im just hoping for things that are quick and easy and dont involve taking too many things apart

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

3400? Do upper and lower intakes, bigger TB, headers and exhaust.

Not to sound like a buzz kill here... but with your first sentence I'd be making sure you have enough saved up to get you through the rest of winter if your hours are cut...

After you do that, then go nuts haha! Sleepy has all the basics covered for a mild build but the headers will give you the biggest butt response just by opening up the exhaust...

To compliment what Sleepy said a tune on top of all that would make for a real nice running car.

Well yeah i have a decent amount of cash saved up for bills over the winter and everything but i also have a separate amount of money that im willing to put on my car to upgrade what i can but i like what sleepy said so i think i might do that

Well while sleepy has covered the basic idea, what exactly do you want to do with the car? You can easily take tuning money and drop it on visual and sound if you're into that. These Aleros look nice with 18 inch wheels.

Also, before you start messing with the engine, start with a full exhaust system. Headers, high flow cat, decent mufflers and tips really make a difference. You may also want to opt for a REAL CAI. A real CAI goes in the bumper or at least has a way to draw cold air to the cone. I've seen people use a velocity stack and pull cold air to the filter with flextubing to keep the filter in the engine bay, but drawing cold air.

The TB mod won't be of much use without a good breathing system (intake and exhaust).

If I was you, I'd do all maintenance items including the LIMG replacement if it's not already using a metal gasket and then a nice exhaust system followed by some nice wheels and tires. If you're into music, I'd get a nice sound system going. Doesn't have to be all crazy like Str8 track but a nice head unit, 6 1/2 door speakers and upgraded 6x9s in the shelf will set you off real nice. Put a 12 sub in the trunk if you like bass and you'll be happy.
