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.

Thanks!

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.

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

Hey welcome to Aleromod! 2004, is it a final 500?

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.

As for suspension, you should begin by putting your name on the list for the PFYC front and rear swaybar group buy! :)

Welcome to the forum and have fun in AZ

I have the same vibration between 80 and 85. I had it with my stock rims and aftermarket. Not sure what it is I have been through mounting balancing etc...annoying but after 85 it smooothes out...and before I get a ticket from Cav the speed limit is 75.
