Hello
Hey! I just recently within the last month got a 2004 White Alero GL1 with a 2.2L Ecotec in it. I will post pics later today after I get off work.

2 Door Automatic
Even as a Automatic I am impressed with it. I am able to manually shift through 1st-3rd efficiently with no problems.

Where is a good place to get the Ecotec supercharger kit? I am also looking for a good place to order all the parts to build the suspension... Right now it corners alright but could be a lot better.

I also got another question. Is it common for the Alero to shake some when going over 80? I think its just vibrations from the engine as I had the same thing with my 2001 Tiburon as it was just the nature of the harmonics of the wide powerband 4cyl engines. I am not completely sure if they had/have this harmonics issue with the Ecotec 2.2 though. |

why would you need to go over 80 MPH unless you take it out on a track sometimes???? Welcome to the site btw.

cavaliers60, the forum police, lol
@settite: tire/wheel balance most likely, if things aren't aligned perfectly you notice it then. the RSM kit is unreliable and centrifugal superchargers suck. plus it's way overpriced. RSM are thieves, also.

Gotta give out tickets to people on here to make a living. j/k Just don't want him to get in trouble for street racing... Something we don't like here on aleromod. 
There.... I made myself official.

All the highways out here are 75mph and I usually drive 80-85 to stay with traffic. Not to mention the smaller highways in the middle of the desert that you have to go 90+ so you don't get run off the road :P |

forget that supercharger! Get a turbo on that ecotec beast to really see how fast that motor is. Good idea on working on your suspension, great start. welcome

The final 500 was a GLS 4 door... not a GL1 2 door. |
