OFFICIAL: What did you do to your Alero today?

[sleepyalero]

[Babyblue]

[fisdad]

LOL:haha:

[tw0123]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sleepyalero]

haha oh jeez

[i4g3t]

got into an accident. had a toyota t100 take out the front of the car. had it back together and plastidipped in 2days with going to work. new struts and 1.5" lowering springs are now in need to take a new picture. new adjustable lateral links. just gotta get the rest of the rear suspension. picked up an actual wai, front and rear strut bars, also a underdrive pulley kit some new rims and exhaust.... anyone have any recommendations for a good ign coil upgrade?

[AleroB888]

Looks like full stealth mode in the flat black. I had a 68 442 done like that once, most people thought it was pretty cool.

On the coils, unless you are doing it for looks, you don't need to upgrade, the stock coils are fine. Is that pipe on the muffler to tune out drone?

[sleepyalero]

dang! it looks sweet plasti dipped!

where did you get the adjustable lateral bar??

[mfuller]

Is that pipe on the muffler to tune out drone?
My guess is it's a double-pass (or twin-loop) muffler.

[i4g3t]

its a twin loop threw muffler. its a little quiter then the thrush turbo i had one there but it gives it a deeper tone and sounds a hell of a lot better. the lateral link is a factory one from a 09 impala. replaced both and not to sounds stupid but i cant remember the name of the other bar that runs parallel to the lateral link. it can be replaced with the same thing. rims a from a 04 acura rsx. i was thinking about plastidipping them but idk if i wanted to be a dick and do them white ahhasha.. if it looks horrid i can always peel it off..

[TDavis]

Big brakes are in

[AleroB888]

well, after 45 minutes, finally got it done :)


Hey, can you tell if it raised up the engine any with the new one?

Only 45 minutes, was it that easy lol

[sleepyalero]

very nice

[tw0123]

Hey, can you tell if it raised up the engine any with the new one?

Only 45 minutes, was it that easy lol

not too sure... I had the engine braced with a jack... I noticed it lifted a bit when I put in the motor mount a couple weeks ago... with this mount, it looked like there was a bit of play in the cross bolt holes which would more or less keep things at the same level but with the torque on the mount it holds it in place? hard to see down there, just going off what I could feel...

as for the time, I probably spent about an hour the last time I looked at it trying to figure out my plan of attack... tonight I had the time to play, so I went to town :)
braced the motor, took out the cross member, then the other 2 bolts, pried the old one out, stuffed the new one in... put the socket on the top bolt to hold it in line, started the threads, then tightened the bottom one... then the top, then the cross bolt... done :)

[i4g3t]

tw0123 where did you get the mounts? and last night i got bored and decided to do something about the tail lights.. i felt they were wayyy to big for the car so i tried to make them seem smaller. can still see all the lights with no problems and the reflector is still visible. this will do until i get ga bumpers then ill make a set. already have a couple ideas since i wont need the reverse light in the housing anymore!

[sleepyalero]

mounts are found at milzymotorsports.com

[tw0123]

Those tails look like my old set i just swapped out.. :)
Next up for me is to try and tackle the sway bars... been putting it iff for a year now and with no suspension in the way i really am out of excuses hahaha!!

[i4g3t]

will ga sway bars fit?

[03glgold]

basically all chassis parts for the 99-05 grand am works on the alero

[03glgold]

double post

[MiLo]

i washed my car today and was looking in the hood and noticed these areas were a lil damp.. possible leakage.. can someone tell me what this can be and how much it would cost.. the 1st couple of pix are from the dried cracked hose on top that goes from engine to air intake.. the 3rd and 4th are from the power steering reservoir. wondering if i need to replace that? and the last 2 are from around the gasket right underneath where you put the oil in the engine..

[guiguilandry]

Nice Wheels TDavis !!

The only ones I see being worried about are power steering hoses...the one between the motor and the intake is ventilation and I would probably put a breather filter on there before bothering to replace the hose (mine looks like that as well) and the gasket under where you put the oil in is a problem area for the ecotec...a new gasket was put on when they did my timing stuff less than 10k miles ago and it already seeps there again, as long as you aren't losing a lot of oil it should be fine...If you are losing a decent amount of oil then the first thing I would do is pull the black intake box off and look at your throttle body plate...if it is covered in oil then the vent in the oil cap is clogged up so too much pressure is building up and throwing oil through the intake.

[fisdad]

After about a year, I came home and finally received my Aleromod decals! I went right back outside and put em on!

[Papa Rad17]

:awesome:

[03Sleepr]

Finally got it running right!!!! Then destroyed my tires, holy shit a tune woke it up. New tires Wednesday and paint following soon.

[Nas Escobar]

Grand Am - GT front bumper conversion, bolted on the rear caliper brackets, got a new rear caliper (one got messed up), and I should have it back in driving condition soon.

Cutlass Supreme - Fixed the top (finally! no more manually putting the top up or down), vacuumed it, and got some trim pieces for it.

[Babyblue]

Toke my carpet out and cleaned it. Going to change the T-stat to 180 tomorrow and clean the intake and seafoam her.

[sleepyalero]

fisdad breakin sh!t again.

[fisdad]

Fixed the window regulator not allowing my glass to go down as far as the stock regulator. Washed my car. Logged 100 miles, took a lot of photos, finally got my back seat bottom reattached after letting it be loose for a year, cleaned my tail light, touched up some paint, added some door edge guards, and trained my fog light that was out of whack!

Ahh... Feeling better already!

[03Sleepr]

Got 2 new tires, cleaned all the spare parts out of my trunk and went on a long overdue drive..I can't wait for ASS!!

[fisdad]

fisdad breakin sh!t again.




http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/2A4D1A31-BAED-4204-94EF-9E24A8D61F11-5201-00000148F6761849_zps26fb82ff.jpg

It needed to be done! Now my window looks like it should. Why do I seem to get screwed every time I pay a "professional" to do a job for me?

[sleepyalero]

because you get what you pay for. ;)

[MiLo]

sooo... i started feeling shaking in the front end.. i take it to the shop and find out that the front passenger side brake line to caliper was installed upside down. it caused rubbing and cracked the cv boot. ball joint and axle has to be replaced. front tires wore really bad so i have to buy new front tires. until then i have to rotate the tires. so everything without the new tires = $250+tax

[WIALERO]

Detailed her today and still wishing my ex gf would give me the money she owes me for a new fender because its and eyesore to see :( and to find a black hood or silver/aluminum

[rocketfast321]

I need tie rod ends after 6 months. Never buy the cheapest ones off rockauto

[fisdad]

because you get what you pay for. ;)

I paid market rate for this bs too! The only thing I got done at a discount was the bodywork...and yeah...got what I paid for. But I expected worse:lol:

[Babyblue]

I got my car back together and when I start it. It runs rough and idk what the problem is.

[sleepyalero]

I paid market rate for this bs too! The only thing I got done at a discount was the bodywork...and yeah...got what I paid for. But I expected worse:lol:

It's honestly not to bad.


I got my car back together and when I start it. It runs rough and idk what the problem is.

Well.... Is your plugs back in for the intake? Did you damage anything on the MAF or anything when you cleaned it?

[Babyblue]

Yeah, I mean the screen on my MAF was taken out. Other then that I put everything back. What is the firing order for the plugs? maybe I messed my plugs up.

[03Sleepr]

Firing order 1-2-3-4-5-6, coil order is different though,. I believe he coils are 1-4. 6-3. 2-5

1-4 is the farthest coil on the drivers side

[Babyblue]

That is what it was. I was lucky and had a olds silhouette next to me with same everything. I looked at the order on that and copyed it over to mine and it worked.

[sleepyalero]

Oh yeah, you can really mess your motor up doing that.

[Babyblue]

Yeah, I got lucky. It is actually running better then before I had taken everything apart. I cleaned the shit outta the throttle body and intake.

[sleepyalero]

very nice.


i added fuel system cleaner in yesterday. going to check all hoses and everything today for my leaning problem, and maybe a trip to see aleroB for a tune adjustment... maybe.

[Babyblue]

I have found a local shop that tunes 3800 and such. I'm going to see if they can take a look at mine and tune it up a little.

[sleepyalero]

tuning is expensive at times

[Math-u]

got 2 new wheel bearing installed ytd.
ima glad that isnt very rusty at all. got them out very easily :coolio:

[03Sleepr]

Replaced my dash, and for some reason it won't crank again...I effing hate my car..and wiring.

[sleepyalero]

time for a 3400 shell swap

seriously youll be so much happier

[03Sleepr]

I would...but I just don't have the time wih ASS coming up in a month..hopefully it will be running tonight...then nothing left to do besides paint..

[sleepyalero]

understandable. after ass, id look into doing the change.

[03Sleepr]

I probably will, but this time I'll be patient until I find the perfect shell...

[sleepyalero]

yeah, search search search!

[WIALERO]

Wired up my rad fans to a switch because they still would not kick on with new relays or fans or temp sensor so I said hell with it and wired them up and alacazam they work :) then washed and waxed her

[sleepyalero]

tensioner fell off, fixed that last night.

[fisdad]

tensioner fell off, fixed that last night.

Things don't usually fall off when you use the right hardware... Just sayin:haha:

[03Sleepr]

tensioner fell off, fixed that last night.

How the heck did that happen?

[sleepyalero]

you know im not sure. when i bought and installed a new tensioner from autozone in jan, it came with a new bolt, i said screw there bolt i wanna keep my stock one. well just last night i went to start my car to hang out with fisdad and my batt light was on, and had no power steering, pop hood, my tensioner is off, and belt isnt on anything. so fisdad took me to get another tensioner at 1am and it was free (warranty) used the bolt it came with and all is ok.


its a tad stripped out for some reason so the stock bolt wouldnt bite, im just glad the new bolt works and i dont have to get it retapped or a new head because of it...

[03Sleepr]

I wish I had part stores open at 1 am..

[sleepyalero]

we got one autozone in indiana open 24hrs, its about 35 min from my place comes in handy!

[Papa Rad17]

Lucky bastard!
@WIALERO I still have that gauge cluster in my garage... and the headlights if it was you or whoever else wanted them.

[03Sleepr]

My local parts store closes at 6pm and Isn't open on Sundays...otherwise the closest one Is 40 mins away..

[sleepyalero]

thats not to bad but 6pm around here they are open till 10

[Nas Escobar]

My local parts stores are iffy with time. Sometimes they want to close at 8pm, sometimes at 9, sometimes at 10, and every now and then at 11. They say "it depends on the season". I call bullshit. Anyways, I wish I had a 24 hour Auto Zone nearby :(

[sleepyalero]

thats stupid. but understandable. your really slow, why waste the money staying open you know?

[WIALERO]

Lucky bastard!

[03Sleepr]

Got it running again..for the third time this month...

But interior is done, got new tires, now I need paint..whenever it stops raining..

[tw0123]

I started ripping out my dash last night... almost ready to finish the interior swap... again hahaha...

[sleepyalero]

nice both of ya lol

[03glgold]

Got it running again..for the third time this month...

But interior is done, got new tires, now I need paint..whenever it stops raining..

I don't know about you, but this way we could use a little rain to cool it off some, a couple weeks ago I was complaining about snow, and now I am tired of 90's, I would prefer if we could have at least a few weeks of 70's or at the very least lower humidity

[03Sleepr]

It's been going back and forth between 90 and 60s with rain...it's making people sick around here lol

[Papa Rad17]

Clock is ticking for ASS... just got back today, have a phone full of people coming to look at the goat. Hopefully alero this weekend if all goes well!

[sleepyalero]

29 days.

[fisdad]

I removed the white faced gauges and changed my needles again. It looks cleaner. Also, I had to rewire my front LED load resistors to get my blinkers to blink in tandem like I want them to.

Revealed my passenger tail light housing. I've been getting moisture inside. Hopefully this solves my problem?

[Papa Rad17]

I have a good set of pass tails on the parts alero. Can bring to ass if you want...

[TDavis]

"Revealed my passenger tail light housing."

"Can bring to ass if you want..."

Am I hearing car porno?

[sleepyalero]

haha fisdad is drunk. ;)

papa, he would need to repaint it.

[MiLo]

I figured it was about time to clean the interior of the car. So I got the Rug Dr for the carpets and seats, scotch guard, detail the nooks & cranny's and top everything off with the armor all spit shine.. I bought some new mats earlier this year on sale and was waiting for this very moment to throw the old crusty mats away. Febreze spray and air vents works wonders. This may be the cleanest my Alero has ever been. Just in time for the free hand car wash I won in a raffle at work set for Monday morning...

[fisdad]

haha fisdad is drunk. ;)

papa, he would need to repaint it.

I was drunk...

Papa, how much for all 4 tails as well as sockets for the lights to them?

[sleepyalero]

25 days, 520 miles till oil change... i think i can make that work.


trying to hold off till close to ass

[xXManwhoreXx]

Cleaned it out on the inside added aux support for my head unit and going to get it washed

Edit: washed

http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a581/emahan1990/20130519_212702_zps0481013e.jpg

[03Sleepr]

Drove it a few hundred miles, then it started backfiring under moderate acceleration..then all the electronics started freaking out, gauges would shut off at random times...lights, blinkers would stop...and windshield wipers would slow down.. I hate my car...

So any ideas?

[sleepyalero]

when my gauge cluster/headlights/turn signals messed up it was a bad wiper/turn signal switch

[tw0123]

when I had this happen with mine, it was a bad alternator... could be a bad ground or a spliced wire causing the issues as well...

[Nas Escobar]

I would say clean your battery terminals, then check your wiring... lastly test your alternator and battery. The problem lies within.

[03Sleepr]

I'll check my alternator but its probably wiring somewhere, because it was acting fine until it got rainy and humid..

Hottt damn

[sleepyalero]

well, yes its a new muffler and tip setup. still got the pacesetter piping to the muffler. originally i wanted a full stainless but with ass coming up and them wanting 400+ roughly i couldnt fit it in. i wanted her louder, so he hacked off my pacesetter muffler and tips... put a new flowmaster under her with 3.5 inch tips. she is alot louder then with the pacesetter muffler. all in all i paid 160$ and i do not regret it. though, i will miss my pacesetter muffler.

[sleepyalero]

installed an HID kit for fisdad. FINALLY upgraded!!!

Swapped in the Intrigue instrument cluster.
http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu132/matthew_fuller/null_zpsf88e803d.jpg
Thanks to user Difflay for instructions to swap circuit boards to make it function.

[tw0123]

any chance on a how to?? :) I heard there are some wiring issues to contend with...

[mfuller]

any chance on a how to?? :) I heard there are some wiring issues to contend with...

Difflay posted that the circuit boards need to be swapped.
So, buy an Intrigue cluster (I bought a reman one off fleabay).
Take the black plastic cover off the back of the Intrigue cluster.
Carefully remove the printed circuit board - it's just a friction fit. Do NOT touch any of the circuits or solder points!
Disconnect your battery.
Remove the cluster from your Alero and remove the printed circuit board with the same procedure.
Install the circuit board from your Alero into the Intrigue gauges, being careful to line everything up before pressing together. Pay special attention to the PRND321 lights as they are on a separate daughter board.
Reassemble and install the new cluster into your Alero.
Reconnect your battery and test it out!

[sleepyalero]

nice matt

[TDavis]

Why'd you install the HID for fis? A 10 year old could do it lol

[sleepyalero]

cause i was there at the time, and he was a little confused.

[Nas Escobar]

Was it really that hard for him? Or was the kit screwy? I know my kit from DDM tuning was weird because of the way they ship them out (they attach a random wiring harness to the bulb, but tell you to clip it. I ended up using it as an extension instead)

[sleepyalero]

well hes got the euro headlights and last he checked the how to on here (been awhile) he thought it was splicing. the euro heads arent regular 9006 bulbs they changed to H7 so it was new to me but got it figured out after a min. but i told him it should be plug and play, etc.

its always nice to help someone out, im sure he could tackle it, but why not help when hes got it laying there and wanting it installed? lol

[TDavis]

Who da fk still helps people in the world? lol

[Nas Escobar]

Sleepy does because he's not about that Yolo bull shit.

[sleepyalero]

if you give, you sha'll receive, my brother.

[TDavis]

I do alot of giving. The receiving is non-existent.

[sleepyalero]

maybe cause your a pr!ck. ;)

[03Sleepr]

Exactly...I go out of my way to help anyone who needs it and I have absolutely no trouble finding help whenever I need it...but I live in a small town where people aren't hippies or aholes.

I thought that the old how to said I had to cut and splice and run a harness? It has been years since I looked at a how to. I didn't realize that they were just plug and play. I was doing like 5 projects to my car that afternoon also so it was nice to have an extra set of hands to speed it up.

[sleepyalero]

you're welcome.

[TDavis]

I miss DrFab and his HID rants.

[sleepyalero]

i hated that lol dont put hids in stock housings!!! no, its fine. i even had fisdad follow me after adjusting them and they were not blinding at all.

Lol. Sleepy is always ready to receive!

[fisdad]

I'm getting my new exhaust on and the redoing my stereo installation to correct for my hasty idiot attack.

[Nas Escobar]

I thought that the old how to said I had to cut and splice and run a harness? It has been years since I looked at a how to. I didn't realize that they were just plug and play. I was doing like 5 projects to my car that afternoon also so it was nice to have an extra set of hands to speed it up.

The new one still does. IDK where you got your kit from, but I got mine from DDM tuning. For the 9006, it tells me I have to cut the circled plugs as they are not needed, but it turns out that the circled stuff is simply a wiring extension if in case the ballast needs to be further in the car.

I miss DrFab and his HID rants.

You know we still have that at the GAOC with Bryle. "Don't put HID lights in a halogen housing" "Don't put blue lights in your car" "Don't use anything higher than 4300K" "Don't use your fog lights as driving lights" "Don't use the TYC replacement stock lights" "Don't use the aftermarket projector headlights".

i hated that lol dont put hids in stock housings!!! no, its fine. i even had fisdad follow me after adjusting them and they were not blinding at all.

You're tinted though, remember that. Personally, I have HID's in my 9006 sealed beams and I just don't give a fk whether or not it's blinding someone. To this day no one has flashed me, and it's not like I have the annoying lights on. If anything, they look like LED lights in color. Sure it would be nice to have a good cut off line and focus the lights to be wider, but with my small ass headlight housing, I can't do that. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

[sleepyalero]

his are ddm, and H7 not 9006

I installed a double din DVD deck. The first attempt was brutal because at some point, when you haven't slept in days... All that matters is putting it back together so you can go to work.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/forhiddentears/null_zpsbb8d0278.jpg

First attempt above...

Second attempt below... I'm okay with this but it still needs some touch up.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/forhiddentears/null_zps9e632376.jpg

Then I had my new tips and muffler installed. Plus my new front and rear strut tower bars...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/forhiddentears/null_zps3926705d.jpg

And I had her washed and half cleaned up inside...

muffler tips look amazing but the stereo install could be cleaner.

Bought a new mod today...installing tomorrow.

I'm gonna be like sleepy and keep it a secret too!

[Papa Rad17]

Looking good! :thumb: Nice center LED light!

I didn't get mfullers tips. It was sleeps old pacesetter. And yes, the stereo install sucks, but I'm working on it. There will be a round 3!

Seriously though, get them on the car! I think they will look nice! What was the price of that system?

I got them from a 2008 Grand Prix? It was a Grand Prix of the last body style for sure. You will have to modify all of them to make them work in our cluster though.

[sleepyalero]

need 2.5 inch piping

[TDavis]

It's really a win win, no power loss, if anything its still a little of a gain since it has mandrel bends. Also the lovely sound. There is really not any "losses" here.

Glad that have 3" tips though :)

[sleepyalero]

mines 2.5 with 3.5 tips lol

but yeah i wish they would have upgraded the piping .25 inches instead of stock piping size.

[sleepyalero]

I didn't get mfullers tips. It was sleeps old pacesetter. And yes, the stereo install sucks, but I'm working on it. There will be a round 3!

Nothing today, just had an interesting note I wanted to mention a month or so ago. I found out my "62mm" RSM throttle body I used to have on the car actually only had a 58mm bore. Was a surprising discovery.

[xXManwhoreXx]

62mm od lol

Wrapped my headers..and put a new radiator in my gfs camry.

[sleepyalero]

changed the oil in my baby. runnin 15w-40

[simonclay]

runnin 15w-40

Why? Just wondering

[sleepyalero]

because Diesel.



just kidding, that would do some serious damage to these motors. i put 5w-30 in. :)

just seein who would call me out on it. :lol:

[mfuller]

I'm supposed to run Valvoline VR1 20W-50 in my new motor. Thick stuff.

[sleepyalero]

dang, really??

[AleroB888]

I'm supposed to run Valvoline VR1 20W-50 in my new motor. Thick stuff.

If the logic behind that is to supress detonation because the thick oil absorbs more heat, why not use a thinner grade plus a good oil cooler?

[AleroB888]

Bought HP Tuners credits and added my 2004 to the licenced vehicle list.

[mfuller]

If the logic behind that is to supress detonation because the thick oil absorbs more heat, why not use a thinner grade plus a good oil cooler?
My guess is the build clearances will be a bit looser with the forged pistons. Also, extra protection for the cam lobes given the PAC 1518 valve springs (which are really stiff - closed seat pressure is 142.5#!).

[xXManwhoreXx]

Most likely for the valves. I can't see you needing to run too high of a ptw ratio only being NA NA.

[[ion] C2]

just kidding, that would do some serious damage to these motors. i put 5w-30 in. :)
no it wouldn't
i used to run 15W-50 all the time

[sleepyalero]

may be different for your motor, but from my understanding the oil wouldnt glow fast enough to where it needs to be im guessing. but maybe it could be okay.

anywho, i need to pm you.

[[ion] C2]

Rewired my radio completely and installed an antenna adapter. Finally have a working AM/FM radio since my friend installed it back in 2006. And now that the wiring is done properly the audio quality/power is much better.

Replaced a silicone coupler that had been cut into many times by the A/C pulley. Now out of the way of it.

Removed my fender stripes. I much prefer the clean look.

Ordered a dash cap like Redog has to go over my wrinkled/destroyed dashboard vinyl wrap.
Ordered a new 2-way key fob since mine is beat to hell and 90% of its usefulness doesn't work. It's been broken for a long, long time. Years. I've been fixing all sorts of things that have been lingering for a while as you can see.

[sleepyalero]

you never showed us your fender stripes anyway!

[[ion] C2]

That's funny, I actually just deleted the only pictures I have of them, I think. They look like yours, but gray.

[sleepyalero]

yeah, but i would have liked to see a red alero with grey ones. :(

[Nas Escobar]

Junkyard trip today!! Got some misc. stuff for ASS/Homecoming. Mostly homecoming since I can't show my car at ASS hahaha

I bent the top corner of my door parking my car far enough back in the trees (watching the trailer behind me didn't notice the top of the door was so close to the tree) that my dad could fit his old truck under as well...Hopefully the young but thick vegetation is enough to stop the hail that is supposed to be coming, though I know it won't affect tornado's if that part of the storm hits us without calming down

[sleepyalero]

best of luck, be safe.

Yeah honestly fk this weather we've been having.

[03Sleepr]

This time of year sucks. Luckily we haven't got a lot of severe weather in my area, just a lot of rain and wind..it's been crazy humid every day though, idk the last time humidity was under 85%.

[fisdad]

Dropped her off at the body shop for a pre ASS touch up. Got some extra special goodies that I'm not talking about yet until everything arrives. I hope it all happens before we take off for ASS!

[TDavis]

Since the weather we've been having is supposed to be gay this evening I will be going to my grandmas to hog her garage for the night and probably sleep over. Atleast my car will be safe :D

She doesn't use her garage so its not like I'm actually hogging it.

I put the new header panel on her. The old one had been busted for a month since I hit a deer. Lol

[Nas Escobar]

Cleaning it... getting it ready for ASS.

[03glgold]

did a preliminary wash because it was nasty since it has been through some mud as of late, also repainted wipers so they are all one color, but I am not really satisfied with the finish so I might sand and redo them...then I took it on an 80-90 mile round trip because I figured it was sad I got rid of all it's bugs (really went to visit theirishpope because I hadn't seen him for a bit and to figure out a little more what was going on)

[Papa Rad17]

It was not the person I talked to 's fault. He put a new battery in it for me today and everything. When I got there and we went to go do paper work another employee had taken a deposit on it earlier that afternoon. I watched him chuck the keys at his sales manger, he was mad to. it was quite the situation but I couldnt be mad at him (he was cool, older guy, had been doing it for years) we both kept our cool though and left. I talked to him on the phone after, Im not sure if he'll even be going to back to work he was so mad.

[xXManwhoreXx]

.... are you serious...

[Papa Rad17]

.... are you serious...

Unfortunately yes. They'd had on the lot for a couple months to, I was the only one who'd test drove in that time and shown serious interest. Apparently someone else had their eyes on it to. I'm going to be pissed when a new member pops up real soon with that car.

[Nas Escobar]

I'd doubt they would show up. More than likely it was someone that just wanted a 5 speed.... daily commuter.

Dash cap install today. Big brake upgrade and rust fixing tomorrow.

Are you waiting until tomorrow because part of you brake upgrade is weighing down your dash cap? :D

[03Sleepr]

Well I officially won't be at ASS. I leave for New Mexico in the morning, And since I won't be there I guess I have to reveal my secret mod here. Unfortunately with everything going on i havent been able to finish it,, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

Big brakes on Saturday.
Washed the car.
Did an "okay" job at wetsanding my headlight haze away.
New serpentine belt


Unfortunately I don't think I have time to repair my side rust before ASS. :( I was going to do it this weekend but didn't have the metal I needed. Maybe I'll try a temporary fix to at least cover up the gaping holes.

Tomorrow might be picking up some 15lb Motegi TrakLite wheels with some basically new tires...

Photoshopped:

Those wheels look great on there.

I'm driving to nm and I've been averaging 27 mpg doing 80 all day. Its so nice now that my car is running right again.

how did you do that !! I was thinking about doing this, but I never actually started the project...

[sleepyalero]

Its not to hard. Pull off mirror from car then there is little clips (on GA mirror) you can reach behind the glass and pop with your finger. Then the glass/backing plate comes out of housing. Use heat gun on glass to remove it from the backing plate. Stick leds on backing plate with wires soldered to it. Put glass back on over the leds, run wires through mirror and down door into kick panel, wire up POS to signal wire, ground to a block by your seat hiddin by carpet, and done.

Set my personal record for best mpg today, 37mpg at ~80 mph for half a tank then I got pulled over and had to slow down. Still averaged about 32-33 at 75, ever since I got my car running right I've been getting crazy good mileage all the time...this wot tech tune must be like magic.

What kind of cop pulls someone over for 5 mph over??

And sleepy, come wire me up some lights...

[fisdad]

Give me a few days and I will write up the how to for this with pics. It's not so hard. I just didn't want to say much about it until after ASS.

What kinda cluster needles are those?

[jawa]

Grand prix needles

[WIALERO]

The newer one? Like 05 06

[sleepyalero]

I think so

[QUOTE=fisdad;

From a 2008 Grand Prix. These are NOT plug and play. You will have to modify them to make them work as well as figure out how to calibrate your gauges again.

[Babyblue]

Fisdad that dreamcast tho.

[Seorsum]

I changed out the stock starter. It died on me a day before I left for a vacation to Hawaii. 13 years and 123k miles on it. At first Autozone gave me the wrong part. :( It seemed like the exact same but nope, even after shimming it still gave a grinding sound against the flywheel. Swapped it for the correct part and viola! Starts better than ever. I guess I could have done a how-to. Oops, next time.

It is behind the glass, no drilling of glass needed.

I will also work on a how to post for idiot proofing how to recall rate the needles after removal. It's also not hard. I will probably make a how to for doing the gauge cluster like I did.

Now I know you didn't just hate on my dreamcast?! That's the cheapest system to lose if stolen and its small so it fits where I want it.

That would be awesome!

Picked this up today, going to get it painted soon to match the car. (Yes it is a black bumper) Its to replace the old rear bumper that has had a hole in it for years now. This one is in pretty good shape, but to many scratches, so a repaint is in order before put on.

[xXManwhoreXx]

Omg nate finally!

[sleepyalero]

I know right

[tw0123]

you should do a proper cut out for the passenger side exhaust before you get it repainted :)

[sleepyalero]

I was actually just thinking what if i cut the cutout on mine, and have the body shop mold it in on the passanger side?

[03Sleepr]

Jb weld then sand it..

[sleepyalero]

Yes but i now am thinking gagt cutout if i go that route

[AleroB888]
