things for the 3400 and 2.4L

[sleepyalero]

found this website.. idk if you guys have ever seen or been to it... i was just looking through google. i like that they have a poly mount for the 3400 but there website looks to plain... and doesnt look like a "trustworthy" site...

but just curious on your thoughts.. just what gets me is there is no way to contact them... or where they are loacted and everything..(yes i know it says one of the people will contact you after the order.)

i bought a set of pulleys from them around 3 years ago. how it works is you email them, then someone from the site calls. its odd, but they did call exactly when they said they would. then you have to use a credit card to pay over the phone. if i remember correctly, it was shipped fairly quick, but just kind of a pain in the ass to have to wait for their call.

[sleepyalero]

thats good to know. i want the poly tranny/motor mount and the pulleys since they are the cheapest i have seen them. havent seen the poly mount anywhere else though.

[kwhauck]

From what I recall z-spec just bought out the leftover RSM stuff when they went under, which is why it is so cheap. That being said, yes the pulleys are cheap, but DO NOT buy one of the supercharger kits......

[sleepyalero]

Oh okay. Well I didn't plan on that a turbo is cheaper then that kit. If I were to get a sc it would the gm racing kit one.

[kwhauck]

Only if you can build it yourself (if you have a 3.4). Milzy's turbo kit is $4500...... If you have an ecotec then you are just blessed with aftermarket products.....

[sleepyalero]

well in good time ill turbo my 3.4 and then get another alero as a daily driver.

[kwhauck]

What's with all the newbs and promises?

[sleepyalero]

What do you mean I've wanted to turbo my car for awhile I just need the money And ill start it.

[heineck]

40 bucks for a crank pulley? i might give that a shot

[sleepyalero]

Hell yeah

[hok666]

I figured everyone knew about that website :D

[sleepyalero]

Not me.. I don't thindi heineck did either lol

[kwhauck]

What do you mean I've wanted to turbo my car for awhile I just need the money And ill start it.

the proof is in the puddin....

[sleepyalero]

Lol well it will happen I already have everything I want saved on the computer but its gonna be like 20,000$

[Lucalare]

20k for a turbo setup...That sounds like a totally failure.

[sleepyalero]

Not just turbo I mean everything.. new motor, cam, turbo, race block, forged int... etc..

[AZFire316]

20K in mods for an Alero? hmm doesnt sound like the best way to spend 20K if you ask me, you can buy an LS1 T/A or Camaro for <10K in great shape now days and they run 13s bone stock with alot of aftermarket support.

[sleepyalero]

i dont want one. you dont see a modded alero everyday... i want something that is not predictable.. camaros and t/a's are everywhere.. those are just to orignal. im going with something different...

[AZFire316]

I respect that, but to sink 20K into it just doesnt seem practical, you can put like 5k into it and have a pretty damn quick Alero thats unique as well, then have 15K for other stuff.

[sleepyalero]

i appreciate it that you do, i know 20k is alot. but there are other people out there who dump 100k+ into some cars. now that is just rediculous...

[AZFire316]

then it gets stolen/wrecked and the insurance company only pays out like 3500 much money lost

[sleepyalero]

wont get stolen. lol and i cant say im not gonna wreck it.. but im very observant of all my surroundings while driving.. just this winter i dodged 5 people merging into my lane without looking.. i always watch behind, on the sides and in front of me all the time. just because 99% of the people here do NOT know how to drive.

when they come into my lane i swerve into the shoulder or into the fast lane then flip em off for being an idiot.

[AZFire316]

cant say it wouldnt get stolen you never know! and all it takes is one idiot running a red light or using a laptop while driving to rear end ya and its over

[sleepyalero]

you can usually fix any damage and it wont be a daily car.

[AZFire316]

its your car your dream :) but honestly speaking you can get fast for way less than 20K

[sleepyalero]

yeah i like the alero though, and it will be unique.

[AZFire316]

im sure if i sunk 20K into my Balt, it would be retarded fast, but I wouldnt be able to sleep at night worried about it :(

[heineck]

jeez guys let him do what he wants. 20s a lil steep imo but its his car. sleepy all u have to remember is ur the one driving it not anybody else. if u want a 10 sec alero i say do it. but make sure its what u want. and alarm the shit the outta that car lol

[sleepyalero]

oh yeah it would. as long as you have a garage your fine really.. lol.

thank you! lol and it will be what i want and there will be a very sensative alarm system on it hahaha i just wish i could get it done now.. but gotta wait for cash flow. ;)

its going to be just a nice day/weekend car. and want to get another alero for a daily. :)

[kwhauck]

I say go for it too, BUT.......i was just saying it because there are always newbs coming on here saying they are gonna do something like that. However, you are doing for yourself which is the important part!

20k is A LOT though, I won't even have that much and I think I could easily argue I have the most complete build going from top to bottom.....

its your car your dream :) but honestly speaking you can get fast for way less than 20K

Well duh.......none of us would have aleros if we wanted to go cheap/fast, we would all have fox-body mustangs with big direct port injection systems....

then it gets stolen/wrecked and the insurance company only pays out like 3500 much money lost

As far as the insurance, I wouldn't worry about it.....you get insurance for what it is worth in parts, so 25k......and then if it gets wrecked or jacked you get your 25k and you start over with a better design from things you've learned about your setup......

[sleepyalero]

^^ exactly and im 100% sure im going to do it. The only thing stopping me is money... for now.

[robalero]

or we would all get a golf cart and throw a r1 engine in it

[AZFire316]

or a tricycle with an LS1?

[sleepyalero]

Smart car with hybusa engine.
