that is the RSM STB

[battistoni21]

dont you have the ones from RSM canada, which are very rare?

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I have the same front STB...if it's rare, I didn't know about it.

[Mr_White]

looks great

[battistoni21]

well i heard this from nosweat83 that they were rare...... i dunno, we'll see what oldsman says

[Oldsman]

yes it is the RSM one. it isn't rare. it's just RSM doesn't have a big supply or they just can't seem to get them in a timely manner

It was a good show, I'm trying to remember if I even had my alero then... definately wasn't in the show, my dad and I were just there looking, he's got 9 collector oldsmobiles between '57 and '66 but none are quite show-worthy yet ;)

someday i will have a bigger collection than the 3. but need a bigger garage first.

hopefully your dad's car will be and he can bring them out so everyone can see.

[Coldfire]

Yeah, he doesn't get many opportunities to work on them now, he'll finish them when he retires in a few years

[steve-o]

lookin good, engine bay is blinding me!

[Oldsman]

thanks everyone.

i know it may not be the hippest or the lowest alero but i can say i have things nobody but GM has........................OSV parts, baby.


but wait..............more parts coming.........................hehehe

who owns the Red Alero in the pics? are there any more photo's?

[troyertrain]

that is one of the OSV aleros, GM owns it... it is a one off car along w/ the green OSV...

[Oldsman]

it is the last OSV alero. GM will never be selling it.

[99redcoupe]

stupid question what the hell is a osv? btw oldsman car looks good. where did you get the rsm??????

OSV = Oldsmobile Specialty Vehicle...it never happened though, but they were pre-modded cars from the factory

[Oldsnut]

I know they won't sell it but where are they storing the OSV?

[Oldsman]

according to GM it is stored in one of many warehouses in Detroit. but i think that might be a little BS. who knows.

[protocol7]

Oldsman, your Alero is downright awesome. Every mod is tasteful.

One thing: I noticed you have the older stereo/headunit. Why not upgrade to the '01+ stereo. The newer one has RDS, which displays the name / artist /information for the currently playing song on both the radio and CD. It has other imporvements as well and also matches the Alero's interior better (IMO).

It should be plug and play installation, though you might need a security code from a dealer.

They typically sell on eBay for $40 - $60.

Just a suggestion..

[Oldsman]

i actually plan on upgrading the stereo to a nice aftermarket one but not as important as other mods

[Oldsman]

basically it

[p1mptress]

I never saw pics of your car till now and it's awesome looking!!!! Love the paint job!

[Oldsman]

:naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

everyone already knows about the front brakes. and some know about the true OSV Alero rims and tires 18x7.5 with 255 40r18

well cause my girl just bought a 2001 alero and i want to make it resemble the osv with the rims, decals, and hopefully soon when its done the bodykit. So what are the rims called and how much.

[alerored04]

the ones he has are one offs made by bbs i think. Gotta find pictures of the osv and pick something similar.

[Oldsnut]

the OSV rims are racing Hart C6's but these ones were one offs done just for the OSV. There is a few manufactures out there that make similar rims that would give you about the same look. can't remember the names. but go to wheelmax and you'll find some.

[j{}n]

weren't you working on some sort of secret deal for your engine? turbo or sumptin?

[Oldsman]

it's still in the works. still working out all the kinks in the build up plans.

[Cliff8928]

Those wheels seem to be popular with the "JDM" crowd as they're made in japan (not sure about the OSV ones, maybe they say on them?)

They're also known as the Work Esperio 02R

Supposedly Work made the RH wheels too...

[Oldsman]

well now to upload the good pics.

More chrome under the hood and now I have a HURST Equipped Alero. That's right a His/Her Hurst Dual/Gate shifter is all mounted and fully functional.

[Oldsman]

the center console piece was done by bdyman and just need to be sanded, little fitment, and then CF.

Your screen name says it all, you really are blind. Looks nothing like a Camaro dude.

[Oldsman]

thanks everyone. installing the shifter was challenging but the end result was worth it.

I must give credit to my dad for the dual/gate idea. i was going to do lightning rods but since you can get a dual/gate for a 4-spd auto i went with that. besides that is the shifter that came in the Hurst/olds and w models w/ autos back in the hay day. Not like seeing a hurst shifter in an Oldsmobile.

[knuckleballer32]

how does the shifter work? just like a normal stock shifter or b&m style pulling it back several times to put it in gear and then forward?

[Oldsman]

how does the shifter work? just like a normal stock shifter or b&m style pulling it back several times to put it in gear and then forward?

it is gated. it works nothing like our normal shifter.

the dual/gate is known as the his/her shifter. and by gated means the following.

on one side it is like a normal shifter. but rather than push a button down to move it out of gear you have to move it sideways and down to go threw the pattern. when you get to netural you can then move it to the right and go down the his side or racing side. on that side you can shift each gear without over shifting. meaning your in 1st gear and you hit the shifter as hard and fast as you can you only go to 2nd gear and then hit it again and oonly move to 3rd and then hit it again and you only go to 4th gear. Now if you take your stock shifter and put it all the way down into 1st gear and then hit shifter forward to the next gear as fast and hard as you can you will end up into neutral.

[clutch1]

So it's kind of like a manual in the fact that you get to pick shift points on the "his" side?

Sounds like a really cool setup, the car looks great for sure.

[knuckleballer32]

i see. i have heard that shifting an automatic harms the tranny? is that true?

i would love to do this conversion on my alero. how much did the shifter run you and how much fab did it take?

[Oldsman]

shifting an auto isn't bad. misshifting or jerking off or shifting when you have no idea really what your doing is bad.

The shifter cost me over $300 and then in just fab work with getting the shifter to work and with the console piece didn't cost me anything but lots of hours of work. Triging out the angle for the cable bracket and making brackets and figuring out how to get the stock cable attched figuring out mount points and height, etc. it took I would say about a good 2 days to engineer it to fit and then another 2 days to fab everything and that isn't the console piece.

This is not a cheap or easy project. If you have the tools and know how to engineer and fab it up it is worth it and then if you have a body guy who is a plastic man this makes it easier also.

[knuckleballer32]

i see. well i could always dream of having one... haha

[DOHC_tuner]

Looking good as always Oldsman, what cams are you running?
Any W41 Quad 4 parts other than the coil pack housing cover?

And would it be too much to ask if you can make a few brackets and sell them? Making some extra money in this economy isn't bad;)

i am running the secret cams. no other w-41 parts. I was thinking about the cams but they are not for boost and unless you raise the limiter on your rpm's you can't use the whole power band of the cams.

I could make the brackets but TOO busy with the OSV kit.

I just noticed what looks like an MSD module in your engine bay. What is it, what does it do, and why isn't it chrome? :p

had you been at ASS last year you would have sen it painted. I have to check on the baking process of the immersion process and if too hot then it will not get CF.

[Oldsman]

you would be correct. a MSD DIS2. It gives you the multi-spark ignition also it gives you adjustablity for retarding the timing for boost. Good question on the chrome.........i haven't looked at it to see about chroming the heatsink but thanks for the idea.

[cherrington17]

hey scott... where did the tips come from... may be lookin for those since im thinkin of goin towards the OSV idea again

[XanderWiFi]

How do you detail your engine to get it looking so clean? I always try to get mine cleaned up but there always seems to be a lot of grease and whatnot. I'm guessing this Alero isn't a daily driver either?

I have been trying to detail my interior because my carpet looks like crap. but the more I use the carpet cleaner, the more it just pulls stains to the surface...(sigh) any suggestions you have or did you just replace the carpet entirely?

[Oldsman]

hey scott... where did the tips come from... may be lookin for those since im thinkin of goin towards the OSV idea again

the tips are from Corsa. They don't sell the tips seperate. you have to buy the whole exhaust system.

[[ion] C2]

It's too bad the tips are so tall they stick way past the bottom of the bumper, should have custom ones made.

[Oldsman]

My Alero used to be my daily driver. I have 117k on it. The trick to a clean engine bay is........Engine Gunk it all down.....rinse.I always take it to a car wash and use the no-spot rinse to wash the gunk off. When daily driver I would do this about every 3 months. Now the other trick is after all washed and dried......get a can of CD-2 Engine detailer and spray your motor down. This stuff is the shit........just ask bdyman, redog.

Far as the carpet I replaced my carpet. I still got a few stains because i have kids but carpet cleaner takes it right up.

[Oldsman]

C2;475698']It's too bad the tips are so tall they stick way past the bottom of the bumper, should have custom ones made.

the reason is they are for 2.5" exhaust. the original tips are only 2" high.

I should have custom ones made........right after you pay for them. Those tips cost me $200 and they only stik below by 1/2" so they stay.

[[ion] C2]

they only stik below by 1/2"

Seriously? Looks way farther past the bottom of the bumper in this picture, and in person. For custom ones, 2.5" would be fine, if its designed properly it'd fan out so the exhaust flows sure, only 2" high, but the tips are what, like 15" wide in total. No restriction.

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z219/peterilewis/ASS%2009/100_4183.jpg

iirc OSV didn't have that big gap between the exhaust and bumper. :p

let me be as nice as possible........do you think i'm a dumbass and don't know shit about exhaust flow???? What my point was that these tips are designed to attach to 2.5 pipes. the actually OSV was only 2" high and did not attach. Like I said I could have custom tips made but are you Chris going pay for them???? These are the tips I have and they are close and they need to be tighten up due to the coilovers and using stock hangers.

Maybe someday custom cast aluminum tips will be made.

[Oldsman]

iirc OSV didn't have that big gap between the exhaust and bumper. :p

OSV wasn't designed for driving on the street. I wanted to see how hot the tips got before i tighten them up. Now I have to tighten up the whole exhaust.......damn coilovers

let me be as nice as possible........do you think i'm a dumbass and don't know shit about exhaust flow???? What my point was that these tips are designed to attach to 2.5 pipes. the actually OSV was only 2" high and did not attach.
So what was the bullshit about:
the reason is they are for 2.5" exhaust. the original tips are only 2" high.

Why make that comment about the exhaust pipe sizing if you know it doesn't matter since the outlet is wider than it is tall? Sure as hell seems like you're saying since the originals are only 2" high, yours needed to be 2.5" tall instead to accomodate your exhaust. Not saying you're a dumbass, you just can't express what you mean so everyone can understand..

[Oldsman]

the bullshit or whatever has to do why the tips stick past the bumper. the bumper is design for the 2" high OSV tips the the pipes just blow thru. My tips are mae to attach to 2.5" pipes this is why the tips stick below. that was the point.

I'm sorry I didn't go into great detail in my first comment so that you fully understand what I was trying to say

Apology accepted. :lol:

Scot's was purchased on a group buy. The chances of that buy happening are slim and none to answer your question before you ask it.

It was Shipping/Damage issues.

[Oldsman]

the hood was thru alerostyle.comwhich did a group buy and boatec made the hoods for alerostyle but alerostyle went out of business.

the guy to talk to about it all would crazytaxi37 on here

[Nate's Alero]

[Oldsman]

you talking about the rear quarters? those are just vinyl stickers. The will actually get ghosted in when the car is repainted.

[SweetNLow]

looks good scot.... glad to see you guys finally got an osv kit made. your car doesnt look like it has monster truck tires on it anymore haha.

[Oldsman]

Thanks Brent. Glad i got away from that look. Now just got to get the wing and side skirts on. Hopefully someday in the next 5yrs the company will actually send out fixed side skirts.

[hok666]

yea and my body kit Im still waiting on it... they said it would be done this friday which doesnt make any sense so Im going to call on monday

[Kilroy]

Where'd you get all the Carbon Fiber pats at? I'd LOVE that for my Alero.

[Oldsman]

I had vc finishes do the parts. not real c/f.

[IRONDOG442]

Recaros or bust !

[Oldsman]

[tw0123]

I thought you had bdyman redo the ones they sent you originally? did this project not turn out for the best, was there just too much work needed in them to make them fit and be the way they should be?

[Oldsman]

no the skirts can be fixed to fit the car but bodykits admitted to their screw up and said they would fix. Also bdyman said it would cost more to fix the ones i have than it was worth. But we will see what happens.

[Chris2000]

Looks great. I noticed you got alero of the month on pfyc.com

Congrats :thumb:

[Oldsman]

wow i did............awesome and it's an old pic

[lonnie]

What's up with the side skirts...ever gona get them? No one has really heard anything else on what was going on with the OSV kits!

[hok666]

thats what Im wondering. Im getting sick and tired of waiting. and nothing being done the group buy leaders need to do something about it Ive done my part..

[Oldsman]

Well we would like some suggestions. we have spent numerous hours on the phone. sent alerosaint to pickup parts from their other shop because it was to difficult for them and have tried and tried to work with them. the only solution right now is take the kit as is and then u deal with all the fitment issues. so please give suggestions not just do something because we have been trying.

[Oldsman]

Well we called tuesday and got same bs call back thursday and we should know something and i call and he is not in. i am sick of this crap. maybe we should all just get what they have and be done with them and then post up the whole story for everyone.

[HazMatt24]

was anything ever signed, could you file a breach of contract suit against them?

[Oldsman]

There was but they say the fits and extending the skirts an inch is a minor mod and should only cost $20. which we all know is BS.

[IRONDOG442]

it is the last OSV alero. GM will never be selling it.


touche!

[HazMatt24]

There was but they say the fits and extending the skirts an inch is a minor mod and should only cost $20. which we all know is BS.

you still might be able to do a breach of contract, but it might cost more than it's worth

[Bad99Olds]

There was but they say the fits and extending the skirts an inch is a minor mod and should only cost $20. which we all know is BS.

All you would need is multiple estimates from reputable body shops that dispute that $20 estimate, and you should be fine.

[Oldsman]

you still might be able to do a breach of contract, but it might cost more than it's worth

exactly and then the whole California and IL thing. Then who is going to front the money especially around christmas. But we have some good friends we have to talk to

[Oldsman]

All you would need is multiple estimates from reputable body shops that dispute that $20 estimate, and you should be fine.

Oh we know what would need to be done. But somethings are easier said then done.

I guess I should have clarified that what i meant was group buy people should give suggestions and if they want to but money forward to go after other actions but no suggestions.

Now you can't get a hold of the owner and our contact avoids us and just passes the buck.

Soon the whole story will come out.

[heineck]

Jeez 20 bucks to resize sideskirts, that's a joke, I wouldn't even sand a sideskirt for 20 bucks

[Oldsman]

touche!

do you know who bought it and where it is?????????????

[worknprog.99]

lol jay leno? haha

[Oldsman]

that would be cool

[Bad99Olds]

Well GM needs the money, lol

[IRONDOG442]

do you know who bought it and where it is?????????????
Yeah the same guy who bought the Intrigue OSV, they both sold for $15,000 including the buyers premium (totally pathetic)! I know if the value of these cars do not rise I will be DDing the SC3 Intrigue after my current DD dies (I am not kidding) I do know the guy lives in South Carolina he told me he was going to join the OCA. Hasnt done it yet AFAIK. In other news Angelo Valenti is selling the Intrigue 442.

[kwhauck]

OMG!!! do you know his name by chance, i call for a aleromod.com road trip to south carolina.......

[Bad99Olds]

How did someone get their hands on that? Im surprised gm let it go, especially at that price!

[kwhauck]

were you not aware of the sale at barrett jackson?

[IRONDOG442]

were you not aware of the sale at barrett jackson?

Obviously not, I know his name, I am not sure he wants me to make it public. But his first name is Joe.

[kwhauck]

understood, well, at least we know now, that is great, any chance he would be showing up at homecoming and/or nationals?

[hok666]

Well we called tuesday and got same bs call back thursday and we should know something and i call and he is not in. i am sick of this crap. maybe we should all just get what they have and be done with them and then post up the whole story for everyone.

maybe, but you would have to get everyone else's approval as well....

[Alerosaint]

We tried we need to spread the word throught all the forums how shady bodykits is... but on thread topic...when those skirts gonna be on

[Kilroy]

I had vc finishes do the parts. not real c/f.

Do you remember what it all cost you?

[Oldsman]

i think it was $150 but that was a group buy price.

[Bruscomusco]

Do you have spacers on? What size wheels are you running on? I like how flush your wheels and tires are with the wheel well.

[heineck]

Dude those are OSV wheels

[Oldsman]

Do you have spacers on? What size wheels are you running on? I like how flush your wheels and tires are with the wheel well.

yes i have spacers on. only 1/8 on the front but 1" on the rear. the wheels are 18x7.5 and they are THE osv wheels.

[Bruscomusco]

Wow! Are they adapter or just the spacer? Have you had any problems with them? And what springs do you have? Sorry for all the questions lol

[kwhauck]

just a spacer, and he is running the real OSV coilovers, so clearence issues will be completely different for you....

[Bruscomusco]

I'm guessing those are hard to come by. They don't produce OSV aftermarket parts correct?

[kwhauck]

yes, both the OSV coilovers, and OSV wheels are hard to come by.

There is a set of 19" OSV wheels with the centercaps in the for sale section. They came off of the Intrigue I believe.

And all coilovers for our cars must be custom made. Mine are a replica of the OSV coilovers.

Also, they do make the OSV bodykit.

[Bruscomusco]

It costs more than my car...

[tw0123]

there is a company in quebec that will make a custom set of coilovers for the alero for $1350 + shipping... i emailed them a couple days ago to find out their pricing...

[kwhauck]

My OSV bodykit is for sale for much cheaper than you can buy it online....

[meadus101]

One of the suspension guys is running a set of those now i think. I think this guy has run everything you can think of and he loves em.

[tw0123]

i am pretty sure guiguilandry has them, as he is from quebec, and has done so much to his alero... including the 3.8 supercharged/5speed swap... not sure who else has them... but they are available... just like everything, all you need is time and money...

[Oldsman]

well i finially got it out of the garage. nothing new has been done. Been working on house projects. Besides the poor workmanship in the side skirts and wing just kills the motivation to get them fixed and put on the car.

[cavaliers60]

pic #2 is better.... Looks weird without the side skirts. It's a shame they didn't make them right. I have always loved that color though. Isn't your car the one with all the wonderful chrome in the engine bay? :)

[Oldsman]

chrome? naaaaaaaa not me................lol

[Oldsnut]

We are debating sending him for therapy to Chrome addiction.

[cavaliers60]

it's ok oldsman..... I have that addiction too....

[jawa]

the first stage is admiting it

lol

[jturkey69]

Lookin good!!...find that motivation!!!..our Cutlass should be in primer by the end of the week!

[[ion] C2]

argggggggggg.... y u no fix side skirts yet

[Oldsman]

Because the shutting workmanship. Bdyman was over and I showed him the Damn things and let's just say its going to be probably a couple grand to fix and fit those things so they look like they should.

But doing the basement in house along with landscaping projects so no cash to finish. Maybe next year.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

if it werent for the no cash obstacle, I'd suggest Razzi sides to tide you over....not sure how well it would flow. could be good, could be puke. but what you got going so far is tits.

[Oldsman]

I have thought about those.
