RIP 2000 Alero Deeply missed. 11/7/2010-12/31/2010

[sfi3400]

I was on way to get new front tires because the ventus ones were low. Well a wet road and bad tires and a dodge avenger stopped, and my car sliding ends up badly.

Im fine just scrapes on my shin. My car well needs from looking at it. fender drivers side, hood. bumper, light housings each side, raidaitor, and possibly FRAME work. Car still starts up fine and sounds fine, and drives

[Malibu369258]

how fast were you going when you hit???

glad you're ok

[hok666]

that sucks it was the driver side I need a new left fender and you have the same color car as mine:P XD

[sfi3400]

25-30. speed limit is 35. i just slid and well ya nothing i could of done. i was gonna go in the grass but didnt know if i would stop and there was a nursing home there so ya.

[sfi3400]

hey the right fender is fine.

[robalero]

that sucks, looks like its going to be a write off. glad no1 was hurt tho

[jawa]

fix it fer sure...if you dont the alero gods will hate you lol

[cherrington17]

Glad to hear you weren't hurt.

Don't bother fixing it. Buy another... it'd be cheaper. :lol:

[bdyman]

sorry to say TOTALED!
but before i make that a true statement what type of insurance is invovled here then ill come back and say totaled for sure

[hok666]

hey the right fender is fine.


yea i dont care about the fender, at least your all right. I have been in similar accidents just be happy your ok:D

[sfi3400]

yea i tend to survive lots of things in my life and walk away with no or little injury to what should of happened. and its libality insurance, so this is outta pocket. but anyway we know a body person friend of family, and he gets good deals and finds parts cheap. if it cost more then 1,800 im parting it and junking it

[XanderWiFi]

I'll take that driver side light if I may please...? Good thing you're okay and wearing your seatbelt I presume? You would be in an ambulance if not I would imagine.

Sucks...another one bites the dust.

[Afugy]

I forget how close to Ravenna are you?

I could ask the guy that did my door and bumper if he has the time. I got to tell you, its not something he'll have done in a week or even 2. But at least you're okay.

[sfi3400]

I'll take that driver side light if I may please...? Good thing you're okay and wearing your seatbelt I presume? You would be in an ambulance if not I would imagine.

Sucks...another one bites the dust.


actually i wasent wearing my seat belt for the first time n a long time, but i have been known to get in major situations and no one knows how i survive or walk away with no to little injury, maybe im just lucky or can take one hell of a beating

[sfi3400]

im like 20 minutes from you

[Lucalare]

I'll take that driver side light if I may please...? Good thing you're okay and wearing your seatbelt I presume? You would be in an ambulance if not I would imagine.

Sucks...another one bites the dust.

It looks to me like the driver's side light is blown to pieces.

[sfi3400]

it is and the pass is messed up in the back but still works every lights comes on. i turned the car on and it drives forward and backs up fine that was done in driveway so not much room to check if it pulls to right/left

[XanderWiFi]

It looks to me like the driver's side light is blown to pieces.

I know. Was just messing around a bit.

[sfi3400]

hahahaha lol well income tax comes in 2 months or so. im looking at a 2003 tiburon gt 6sp. 79k for 5g asking

[kwhauck]

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

I have a dented rear quarter fender with some scrapage and it was $2200.

It's DEFINATELY more than $1800

[keytonic]

Glad your ok. I have plenty of parts cheaper then 1,800 :) only issue is it silver. I see you must be near the Cleveland area? a little over 5 hrs I'd meet ya half way instead of ship since shipping would be more lol

[Ttop191]

Hmmm, is it my turn to make a smart ass remark on how you can't drive like you did to me last year?

[kwhauck]

Sounds like you were following to close there hotrod, not to mention you let your tires get too bald......

[Ryan from Ohio]

That car is gone.

Part it out for what you can if its even worth it.

In that shape yard MIGHT give you $3-500 for it... What will you get parting it? A headache and people wanting a single piece of plastic for $3 shipped.

Yes I am bitter.

lol

[sfi3400]

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

I have a dented rear quarter fender with some scrapage and it was $2200.

i found alero parts on this one site last night and for like bumper hood fender bumper brackets the gaurd its like 900.

It needs painted though and added on its just primer. ill search for the site again and post it

[sfi3400]

haha i was on my way to get snow tires, lol my ventus were about 30% or so. but any way i just slid and its either him or a tree with a nursing home next to it


But hey i was able to pull my
silver star high and low lights
my Silvana turn signal the oily colored one
and the clear led that light up amber. if anyone wants them ill let them go for 20bucks shipped

[XanderWiFi]

I would have hit the nursing home. You might have been doing a favor for a lot of people...black humor-apologies.

[sfi3400]

hahahahahah that is mean.

but i found couple cars all i need is 2 grand for dp.

2000-2003 tiburon 5 spd miles range from 80k-95k asking is 5 grand
2003 eclipse convertible miles range 85k-95k asking 4800

[kwhauck]

I wouldn't buy either of those....

[sfi3400]

why you say that?

[Ttop191]

because they are both known to be extremely unreliable, and both are over priced

[sfi3400]

ttop are you on aim i have a honda ? i found a nice a$$ honda and pretty nice price

[sfi3400]

how about a 2001 honda accord asking 4grand with 80k

[FlyingSpoon]

I had very similar damage to my last alero, not as bad though, and it was about $5000 to fix it, but I needed a new rad.

[zzyzzx]

I've done worse and fixed it myself for not much money. I just pulled out the radiator support and replaced the bumper, grill, hood, headlights, and one fender. It was not difficult.

Lots of pics here:
http://www.feoa.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=41207

I also repainted it myself, but the car in question is a beater so I used Rustoleum and my Harbor Freight compressor and paint gun.

[kwhauck]

because they are both known to be extremely unreliable, and both are over priced

don't forget ugly.......

[sfi3400]

the new tiburon are sexy i think and the 03 and new models i have heard good things about, especially the gt's


and 4 grand for a 2003 isnt to bad from the prices around my area.

[Ttop191]

I have heard nothing but bad things about tiburons, from friends, customers, everyone, they are quite unreliable, a lot of suspension and a lot trans problems.

As much as i hate to promote Honda, I do drive one, and as far as an 01 accord, i have a buddy with one, and its a really nice car and he's got over 200k on his. It wouldn't be my first choice, but that sounds reasonable for sure.

[sleepyalero]

hahahahahah that is mean.

but i found couple cars all i need is 2 grand for dp.

2000-2003 tiburon 5 spd miles range from 80k-95k asking is 5 grand
2003 eclipse convertible miles range 85k-95k asking 4800

my buddies girlfriend has a tiburon 03 GT. sucks in snow. and ALL tiburons have the same problem... after awhile it will grind into 3rd gear. and be hard to shift it into 3rd. if its a manual... not sure about the autos.

[Ttop191]

Autos spontaneously combust at 130k :lol:

[sleepyalero]

answers my question about the autos lol. :D

[robalero]

as much as I hate to say it thats a good price on an Accord, something like that in my area of the world would sell for 8k +

buy a GM if possible but thats just me lol, but don't get a tibby their just plain junk after a little bit of driving I looked at them before too and as tempting as it is ( their not so bad looking but not goergus either ) as for the eclipse its a convertible you really wanna drive that in the winter? I havent heard anything bad about how they are realiability wise so I can't say nothing there

[sfi3400]

cold dont bother me much so with a convertible yes it will get cold as beep n side but, a convertible has been my type of dream car.

Ok so tibbys are out i guess????

[Ttop191]

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/mnewell/dsmcrankwalk3bd_2.jpg


there is your eclipse idea...

[Chris2000]

exactly -^ . and hilarious as hell

[sfi3400]

lol thats like a 98 or something.

[JLw7123]

If you get an eclipse get like a 02 or newer or the eclipse GSX AWD turbo those are the only good eclipses.

[robalero]

im with you on convertibles being a dream car type thing ive always had a thing for the top down for some reason I don't know why

[sfi3400]

the eclipse are 2003 im looking at. but i found a f-body again the best body ever. 1996 firebird v6 t tops 87k for 2,900 (asking)

[Ttop191]

3.4 or 3.8? either way its slow...but I'm curious

[robalero]

dont buy the v6 ull regret it....their just slow and require a lot of maintenance on u-joints and normally no1 replaces their suspension parts so their really worn out

[sfi3400]

i had a 94 firebird that was the 3.4....i think the 1996 is 3.8 if its the 3.4 im not getting it

n 3.8 can get up and go, for the what like 200hp????

[Ttop191]

yup just checked 95+ was the 3.8, either way, i wouldn't get it...

[robalero]

just pulled this off wiki:

The result was 205 hp (153 kW) and 230 lb·ft (312 N·m )

now add how old it is and that its a convertible ( so its heavier ) its prob just guessing here has 160 hp left out of it I mean it be ok but I wouldn't be impressed by its performance but at least its a t-top id still not get it unless it was a v8

[sfi3400]

ok now how about this.

2002 camaro 78k t-tops asking 4900.

or a 1994 camaro z28 40k asking 4grand <this is private seller so i can work him down lower to maybe 3grand

[kwhauck]

Just do what you want. I guarantee inside of 3 months you'll be gone from here anyways.

It's too bad you don't live closer to me, I have been looking for a coupe alero with major front end damage.

[robalero]

the 02 is a decent price

[sfi3400]

what you mean gone from here?

hahaha dang it cuz i dont want to junk it ill only get 200-500 MAYBE

[Alerojester]

If you get an eclipse get like a 02 or newer or the eclipse GSX AWD turbo those are the only good eclipses.

GST and GSX's share the same engine which is the 4g63 with 210hp

[JLw7123]

GST and GSX's share the same engine which is the 4g63 with 210hp
i know samething with the older evos

[Redog]

Glad you were not hurt too bad.

Your accident sounds like the one I had with the Delta, only I had brand new tires and the asshole cut me out, then stopped (no ABS)

[[ion] C2]

what you mean gone from here?
no need to be on aleromod without an alero, your interests will go elsewhere

[sfi3400]

no ill still be here, my interests wont go anywhere, i learned a lot more about cars on here and plan on staying here, with or with our my alero.

and redog thanks, yea i tend to be a lucky lil guy. I will say though i think the air bag hurt more then a baseball bat to the head

[[ion] C2]

Air bag hurt a lot less than the steering wheel itself, I can guarantee that.

[sfi3400]

idk the front of the aleros steering wheel is pretty soft and that doesn't hit you at 200mph and doesn't have dust that burns like a mother beeep lol

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I've had an airbag blow off on me from a crash...I'd much rather take the mild burns than the BFT from the steering wheel.

[wrestlingandrunning]

If you get an eclipse get like a 02 or newer or the eclipse GSX AWD turbo those are the only good eclipses.

:lol: Are you serious? Just cause it's turboed and awd doesn't mean it's a good car. I have a couple of friends with gsx and they have nothing but problems.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

2011 Eclipse GT looks nice, though I haven't heard anything about it. Looks like they're trying to go with the Nissan GT-R/Lancer Evo styling on the front bumper though...

[sfi3400]

yea but i dont have 20grand for a car, especially on an eclipse. for that i would get the new wrx or a nice trans am ws6

[JLw7123]

:lol: Are you serious? Just cause it's turboed and awd doesn't mean it's a good car. I have a couple of friends with gsx and they have nothing but problems. well that is you opinion.

[JLw7123]

yea but i dont have 20grand for a car, especially on an eclipse. for that i would get the new wrx or a nice trans am ws6
get a 300zx or an trans am.

[sfi3400]

a nissan????? i havent heard any good about them.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

well that is you opinion.
http://daihatsu-fans.org/hosted/imghosted/random/crankwalk2.jpg

[wrestlingandrunning]

a nissan????? i havent heard any good about them.

The only issue I've had with my n/a z is a fuel injector going out, other than that it's been more reliable than my Alero.

[JLw7123]

also the aftermarket parts for the 300zx or any of the nissan cars are endless.

[kwhauck]

I've always liked the scion tc

http://www.autospectator.com/cars/files/images/Scion-RS-R-Scion-tC-02.jpg

The Genesis Coupes are hot too!

although, this is your best option if its in your budget, they wife wants a new ride and we have been shopping around for 04-06 nice used with around 50k miles for around 25k

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/05/2009_Hennessey_VR700_CTSV_Jalopnik-topshot.jpg

[lonnie]

Glad you weren't hurt.

To fix follow these simple directions:
1. Lick thumb
2. Apply genorious amounts of spit
3. Place thumb on fender
4. Rub damage out.

Patent pending.

[wrestlingandrunning]

well that is you opinion.

That's not an opinion, it's fact I see, or try to help with almost every weekend.

also the aftermarket parts for the 300zx or any of the nissan cars are endless.

fyi aftermarket parts for these cars are not cheap.

well it is worth spending the money because you will be happy with the result because nissan makes great engines and they have a lot of potential.

[robalero]

not on the turbo's, I knew someone who had more issues with that then anything esle

[Ttop191]

I thought you sold the WS6 :rolleyes2:

[sfi3400]

naw the ws6 was my dudes i drove cuz he cant drive stick. i have a 5spd 3.4 94 bird

[kwhauck]

naw the ws6 was my dudes i drove cuz he cant drive stick. i have a 5spd 3.4 94 bird

Oh really?

i was racing my ta ws6 for 4 years at quaker drag. and i opened that up to 150 on the highway when it was clear. not bsing or trying to be a prick here

im really good. and 108 isnt really that fast like i said i been to 150 in my ws6

i sold my ws6 because i started at kent state and driving a 6spd on the highway in winter would be bad especially a rearwheel drive that is pushing 350hp. so i sold it and bought a alero


Something doesn't add up here....:lol: :lol: :lol:

naw the ws6 was my dudes i drove cuz he cant drive stick. i have a 5spd 3.4 94 bird

And just for lulz, that bird is slower than stock v6 aleros.......lol

[Ttop191]

yeah...I was thinking that...just didn't want to put the time in to look that all up hahaha!

[sfi3400]

haha ok it was in my dudes name but i lived with him at his rents house and always drove it, his rents would sometimes call it mine and he owuld flip lol. and i know my 3.4 was SLOW

[Ttop191]
