new guy from ny, tring to mod my alero

[SnoopySnooper1]

hey guys, im matt from saratoga ny. i have a 2001 alero i bouight off my gf last spring for 1500, most reliable car ive ever owned. recently i decided i missed having a modded car, so i started doing some reaserch

on a local craigslist i found a 2001 z24 which obviously has the ld9 2.4 gm motor. it was heavily modded and he was parting it out

from him im buying a dc sports 4-2-1 headde4r with 2.5" test pipe and coustom cat pipe, aem cold air intake, venom fuel rail, coustom chrome and blue quad 4 valve cover, coustom cat back (technically itll be a headder back) using 2.25 from the car to the axel and 2.5 to the axel to the greddy evo2 muffler. should be hella loud and eibach springs and kyb gr-2 struts

right now i have a spair trunk lid i jnust bought an invader wing for it and im gonna get a french lisence plate kit and french the plate along with shaving the taillights possibly and doing small led strips for the tunk lights

currently i have 20,000k hid hi/lows and 3000k fogs, and 4 12" alpine tyoe rs on a soundstream 3400.1 at .5 ohms.

cant wait to see how this come out, good to be here guys

Welcome to the site!

welcome to the site. mod your car the way you like it. not how someone else like it.

unless it includes a ghey wing

[Lucalare]

I assume you're talking about a Z-24 cavalier? If that's the case the struts won't work, and I really doubt the exhaust system will.

[JLw7123]

unless it includes a ghey wing well that is true.

[wrestlingandrunning]

Welcome.......Good Luck.......Hope everything works out for you..........

[sfi3400]

welcome and to let you know ppl here are straight up and will say what they think so have hard skin, i found that out when i came here. not to say names but.......'cough cough' EVERYONE lol

[Alerojester]

welcome, and like its been said to each their own and take whats said lightly

[Redog]

Yeah Exhaust is one of those things that has to fit the engine and the body. I've run into this many times since I've been modding.

20,000K HID's? Can you see at night? IMHO anything 8,000K and up is pointless, because starting at 8K they are getting darker.

The plate kit is cool. People on here have done that, but just say no to a wing. Stock Alero or Grand Am wing is the way to go

Yes, the springs will not fit your car. They do make an Eibach kit for the "N" body

[SnoopySnooper1]

these wont work?

and idk, i have always hated wings, but idk i can see it on the car

the alero started kinda as a joke anyway

i have hd a few heavily modded audis and vws, i do love the alero though cause NONE of the euros ive had are reliable, this is

and im the type of guy that when i get a car, i learn evetything about it, im surprised i havent with this by now lol

im a HUGE car audio guy too btw, i have alot of profesional excpericne at electronics warehouse in saratoga ny

check my youtube vids, snoopysnooper

Fogs are NOT headlights. Fogs are for use in dense fog... NOT for seeing a mile down the road....

[That01Olds]

Welcome to the site man. Got any pics? and yes please don't do the wing idea. If you wanna a spoiler go for a stock one like some have said or find one that isn't a park bench lol.

Was warned for this post, seriously? No vulgarity, no racism, no explicit flaming; just a comical observatatory response to let him know his planned/current things are not a good idea.

[SnoopySnooper1]

C2;560828']Sounds like you'll be the coolest kid on the block.

ya sick.

thanks bro?

Let's play nice!

[Cashdollar2009]

dude i have 2 shitty JL W1s with a rockford 300w amp and its like perfect.

I can agree with all but this. If you're shitty subs are sufficient for you, then kudos. Some people may want more. My bone stock 2.4L "is like perfect" for me, but i'm not relating someone who like modifying their engine to perform in their minds "better" as being an idiot. :wacko:

[SnoopySnooper1]

[kwhauck]

Everybody calm down here or points will be dealt out. We need to cut down on the hazing of newbs some.

[[ion] C2]

i dont tell you that putting 15gs into an alero engine is dumb do i? no i like it, i complemnt
It would be dumb if that's how much I paid to mod thus far. It was only around $4k.

[03Sleepr]

welcome to the site, and if you put that wing on..would you mind following me to class when I'm late so I have a bench to sit on?

[SnoopySnooper1]

sorry, its my car and my money. i will mod it to my liking, thank you for your concern though
