OFFICIAL: What did you do to your Alero today?

[03gxeco]

hoping to make this an official thread-sticky?

today i let my car get soaking wet and kinda clean, then bought some turtle wax upholstery cleaner and went to work on my Smoke stained seats. I give the turtle wax cleaner two thumbs up, it took alot of the stain out and made my seats smell new.

Also heres a photo

Got piston rings for it so assembly can continue.

[JLw7123]

got some new wheel bearing for the back and fixed the exhaust with 2.5 inch catback.

[a.graham52]

dug it of the snow bank and drove it! changed oil with dexos... Which reminds me i need to reset my oil light. Pressure tested the cooling system, removed a side skirt and got a rust repair est.

[Valley olds]

Drove it from point A to point B and back.

Sorry, did not realize this is the alero appearance section.
Well, not today, but last weekend I had it washed and put new pads on it. The old ones were literally bare metal.

[Alerojester]

i have done nothing with my ho in 2 years epic fail

[spc2125]

i have done nothing with my ho in 2 years epic fail

smh

I quik waxed my car with mcguires

[sleepyalero]

i let my car run for a little bit its been in the garage all winter, not seeing snow. lol

[Papa Rad17]

had to work today, so just drove it. but this was yesterday :)
valve cover is actually a lot darker, cherry looking red (shitty phone camera) put on new gaskets for all that while it was off, and replaced the black intake box with pipe.

[kwhauck]

Stopped and cussed it out in the driveway...

[jhubbz]

Bought a brand new 12" Type R (600w RMS) to replace my cheaper sub, of which I thought already hit fairly decent. Now my ears feels like I just got home from a concert.....

[Hellfire5670]

Stopped and cussed it out in the driveway...

I did this also.

[03gxeco]

its good to see this thread has taken well. -Ion, keep up the good work, i wish my motor looked that nice inside. :)
papa rad17- i still feel like red is a honda color for "valve cover" paint. but looks good! nice intake, is it autozone spectre pipe? i wondered about the pipe, i didnt think it would have all the holes and hood ups for all of the stupid sensors and crap that are attached to my stock intake hose.

the first pipe right off the throttle body is the cheap autozone pipe. then the rest is actual chrome pipe with the K&N filter. It only has the one hole for the sensor, in the first coupling I drilled a hole then sealed the vacuum hose in there and put a breather on the valve cover where the other one would have been. getting rid of that black box helps a ton.

[hok666]

changed the oil

[03gxeco]

yesterday, i popped my rear door panel off, and hit the locking mechanism with some WD-40, then vigorously worked the lock rod until it moved some-what freely. and then put the panel back on, and locked the door. Now my driver side rear door is locked and stays locked. :)

[a.graham52]

yesterday i took my new headlights and cleared the corners. next im painting the bezels. fixed my flashing hid, cleaned her out and cleaned the airfilter.

[cavaliers60]

Today, I'm about ready to take my Alero out and set it on fire... :lol: It's falling apart, and the lack of money to fix it isn't helping things...

[bushmanalero]

I just ordered a Pioneer AVH-P4300 dvd player from Amazon to replace the 7 inch flip screen that I have in there now

[fisdad]

Can't drive in Indiana... indefinitely, sooo....I looked at her, rode shotgun in her to my parents house for birthday dinner... FAIL

[tw0123]

had to take the temporary car port i built over the sedan down... apparently someone in my neighbourhood complained and because i didnt have a permit i had to take it all down and get a permit or face huge fines... in the coupe i finally installed the gauges for the gauge pod, and took off my idi cover to clean it up and paint it...

[JLw7123]

i drove my car to work and washed it.

[03gxeco]

My friend had this problem. except his was on his own "private property" and the guy that does all the code enforcing, is a dick head and thought he was cool and basically said if my buddy doesnt get the permit for the "building" which in all reality it was a tent big enough to fit a car in, he will be fined.

funny thing is, the only reason this code enforcer guy messes with my friend, is because- my friend, told the code guy that if he doesnt leave his family alone, hes going to kick his ass. :)

[tw0123]

ya... i was going to buy one of those pop up car tents but with the high winds around my house i figured i would use some wood for the frame instead of the metal poles... according to the building department, it basically boils down to the fact that i need a permit to use wood, but the metal poles do not require a permit... even the inspector said it was a dumb rule, but it is his job and that he gets paid to follow the rules...

[jhubbz]

Gave my throttle-body a bath last night. Bought a bunch of goodies for the ho today :)

[spc2125]

turtle super hard shell waxed

[03gxeco]

lol i tried to find a recaro seat but i couldn't so i gave up and went with the simpson racing one. it will last us untill shes over 60 lbs. so it was a good investment. I thought about getting racing seats in the front but i dont know which way to go. they have to be comfortable because this is my only car and i take it everywhere.. ha. and i dont want to spend 600+ per seat for a good seat.

[03gxeco]

[a.graham52]

[[ion] C2]

[XanderWiFi]

Today, I pondered selling it.

[JLw7123]

can not decide to use my tax return money to fix my car or put in the bank for a new car (legacy gt).

[03glgold]

Saturday put in new fuel pump which also made it run a lot smoother on the highway, there are a lot less downshifts and when it does downshift it is less abrupt...yesterday i gave it a bath and its first ever coat of wax as well as armor-alling the dash and all the trim...today I think i may vacuum it

[[ion] C2]

put the head on (friday)
tomorrow should have more to show

[MMGT1]

Assembled my Supercharger over the weekend and gave it a dexos oil change. Going to install charger the third week of April I think... need to make an intake for this sucker now~!

[bushmanalero]

Ordered DDM Tuning HIDS last week :yahoo: 35w 8000k for the low beam. Hopefully they arrive this week.

[03gxeco]

well i installed my cosmo racing intake last week. and its been to cold to get out there and install interior under dash l.e.d :(

[bushmanalero]

I installed my DDM HIDs today and im loving them :coolio:
Next thing is deciding what color to paint car because im tired of the black and white look after my encounter with a deer

[a.graham52]

due to the heavy rain fall we have had this weekend i turned my cai into a wai. didnt like running on the interstate in other peopls wake very well. lots of water in the intake. ordered my ddm tuning 8ks, vacuumed the interior. called it a day. tomorrow im removing the radio for warentee reasons, also going to inspect my rear sway bar bushings for a clunk concern. its either those and/or the strut tops. probably strut tops though..

[rustyballs_69]

Put these in the other day with some poly end links. Still need to make some custom spacers for the end link.

[sleepyalero]

Tonight, my Alero left me....:(

ohhhh no!

[NoSweat83]

Installed HID's and reinstalled the rear strut bar

[a.graham52]

junk yard is one way. 99 aleros have them.

[Nate's Alero]

Dissassembled my front doors, trying to figure out why my fuckin sash clips keep snapping every time i roll the windows up or down.

[JLw7123]

replacing rear struts and springs, spark plugs,fuel filter at school. cleaned the K&n filter of the cai. Possibly changing out the 80 series muffler with 44 series.

[rustyballs_69]

id like to know how much of a difference you notice from these..

I noticed that the front end was tighter and steering feel is better.

Those the aluminum control arms from a grand am? Where did you get them?

From a 99 Alero. I put new control arms on his car and I keep the aluminum arms.

Their are polyurethane end links made for our cars.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MEV-MK6600/?rtype=10

I already have the poly end link in the car already, I need a custom spacer on the end links to make the sway bar parallel with the lower control arm.

[Nate's Alero]

I have the same setup as Rusty, plus my car came with the aluminum control arms, so i just had them cleaned up and powdercoated, plus the poly bushings from moog, big difference with just the bushings.

yesterday, I seafoamed mine. it has helped idle a and there was a ton of smoke. I'm trying to get a video uploaded to my car domain but its having trouble and I dont have a youtube account...

[03gxeco]

last night my alero met my friends Ford GT. and my ecotec got scared of its 550 hp supercharged v8. :( i now want that car. So instead of becoming a millionaire and buying a new GT, i will settle for a mediocre mustang GT, and possibly swap out some of the engine parts from a GT into the mustang. then have the poor mans version. :) saving pennies is boring.

A millionaire can't even buy a new GT if you are referring to brand new considering that the newest version was only produced from 04-06.

Please tell me you aren't thinking about a crappy 4.6L

Yesterday I installed some new front speakers and today I washed it and vacuumed.

maybe in your area a millionaire cant afford a 06 GT.
but here in new york my friend whom is the CEO of a company and i believe he is only a millionaire, purchased a brand new 06 ford GT 40th anniversary edition the orange and blue one, off the lot of a dealer.
and brand new meaning there were no miles on the car when purchased. it is obviously not literally brand new off the line. lol
not that i need to prove myself to anyone but, my alero is in front of his car in this photo.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/6831862786_654f66a659_z.jpg

and i may get the "crappy 4.6L" even though it made what nearly 50 hp more then the 5.0L in the fox body and early sn95.

i happen to like the late sn95 body (99-04) main reason is because not many people really have them, and mod them in the area. people either have fox bodys or early sn95 (94-98). i dont like the s197

and to be honest i dont really care what people think about what i drive, or if they think the engine is garbage.

When I said not even a millionaire could buy a new ford gt i was referring to a 2012...I was being a smartass...the 99-04 body isn't bad and when I said "crappy 4.6L" I was referring towards the new 5.0... power wise it would be cool to take a 99-04 body and put the new 5.0L in it or if you are going for the whole gt thing put in a 5.4L then you would have the same powerplant...I was in no way implying that you didn't get to hang out with a ford gt however now noticing that it was a gt40 I am quite jealous...Nowhere in the comment was I planning to trash you personally

[03gxeco]

lol i didnt mean to come across like a prick either. believe me i am very jealous of his car too.

yeah they do... but i will say i look under a ford and more often then not go "wtf were they thinking". frames that arnt straight, o2 connectors you can possibly reach, crappy cv joints on the drive shaft, stupid 12 point bolts on the drive shafts... THAT FACE THE THRANSFER CASE. and a bunch of little shit like that. i absolutly HATE lifting ford trucks. suck so bad.

I haven't worked on many fords...my f250 is an 89' so they hadn't quite gotten to trying to make everything impossible to work on yet...pulling the motor on my 65' thunderbird wasn't fun though...in order to take the power steering pump off you have to take the a/c compressor off and in order to take the a/c compressor off you have to take off the power steering pump, everything was so screwballed...I also know that on my moms 04' Freestar in order to change the spark plugs without excessive risk of breaking one then you need to pull the intake manifold...On the driveshaft for my dad's 02' Chevy however they have it with one spline smaller than all the others for fitting it together so something that should take like a minute to put back on takes much longer if you don't know about it and mark it first... They also put a frame support on the 02' chevy so that you barely clear it to get to the fill plug and have to go through a hole in it to get to the drain...I think all engineers should have to go work in the field they are designing for before they start writing up plans because then stuff might not be so screwed up all the time

[03gxeco]

for me chevy is easier to work on because its all simple. However i enjoy a challenge when working on cars. When i had my J-body, i was bored with it in a month. when i had my sn95 mustang i didnt get bored, but i had to get rid or it to get something cheaper on insurance and a little faster then the beat old v6 that was in it.

if i didnt hate camaros i would probably get an older iroc. but a camaro is like a tampon... every kitty needs one (no offence to any member here that has a camaro)

and with that i actually mean that everyone and their mother has a camaro around here and its annoying as all hell when you try to go for a drive in the summer and all you see is camaros everywhere.

anyway this is the "jist" of what i want to persue. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7061/6979491467_e24c36a06a_z.jpg

accept not powder blue, my photoshop abilities are not quite up to snuff. id prefer a medium-dark blue or black.

go unique...get an 04' mystic cobra there were only 1010 made


i looked that up because ive never heard of it. i am impressed. i do like it mainly the hood and front end. it looks more agressive and im sure its a little faster then a stock cobra. either way, i'm not really looking to burn the streets with power. i just want a v8 that is faster then the "ricers" in this area. I am fairly positive that a mustang GT with an intake and cat back exhaust would be faster then any of the imports in town. accept maybe my friends honda civic. i envy him. its a b18b1 from an integra, with a td04 turbo from a subaru wrx complete frankenstien build but its tuned and it beat my 360hp supra back when i had it.

Get a Subaru wrx or an evolution you could beat the ricers in those cars. Also if u supercharged ur alero also look at a 350z or a g35 or g35x. You do not need a v8. To beat ricers.

all of those would be nice, but i am trying to get out of my import Phase.


anyway, today i cut the muffler of my alero in favor of a new one. I wasnt aware the ecotec sounded like a v6 at idle and until around 4k rpm with no muffler. past 4k sounds like a crotch rocket.

[kwhauck]

If you have an ecotec and did a proper turbo build you could be ripping 12 and 11 second 1/4miles no problem......

[03gxeco]

i dont have the time to do that to a daily driver. between taking care of mein mädchen and using the car for grocery getting, i wouldnt be able to get under the hood to install even if i put everything together well before hand.

also, full weight ecotec can run a 12 with just a turbo and tune?

i will still be keeping the alero when i venture into the v8 realm. Theres no way id get rid of this car i love it, everything from the style to the economy and more. the few flaws it does have give it character and its well worth keeping it around. ive just been a mustang fan since birth (mostly because my dad is a mustang fanatic) and also because i cant afford a Dodge Viper ACR ;)

[cavaliers60]

Just changed the oil today... Found out that she is losing oil somewhere... It was almost empty, and there was a lot of black gunk on the oil cap and on the end of the drain bolt.... Not sure what's going on, but I will be keeping a sharp eye on the car now... I think it's on its way out soon....

And yes, i make regular oil changes, use 5W30 Penzoil high mileage. I think the car being low on oil might explain the rough idle a bit... It seemed to run pretty smooth after the change.

They are the OEM halogen projectors from a DC2 intergra (USDM). Didn't want HIDs.

Anyways today I made a lexan shield for my fog lights because I've been through 4 pairs already due to them cracking/getting pitted. It was going to be a PITA to mount it + it didn't look very good so I just ordered some Lamin-X instead haha.

My windshield wiper arms have been faded grey for some time now and most of the black paint was completely missing. I rattlecanned it with gloss black wal mart spray paint that I reclaimed from my parents garage where I left it 8 years ago.

I also found a can of clear paint...

This led me to spray over my oxidized corner of my hood with clear... It's no longer a perfect color match there since the clear has been baked for so long, but it no longer looks burnt either...SO... then I went crazy and painted clear over every little spot on my car that had paint missing due to scratching. Actually came out okay....Though it was overcast today, so I'm hoping it still looks okay in actual sunlight.

There is no way there is drum and rotors in the back of the car it has to be one or the other. Maybe you saw the component for the ebrake.

FINALLY cleaning it up after this lousy winter.

Washed and detailed.

Rocker guarded the bottoms of the doors, inside and outside.

Prepping and painting the upper portion of the back of the trunk.(bad rust/paint chipping) and then painting over the rocker guard when it dries.

The paint doesn't match quite perfectly, but it's matched to my VIN for the colour. Looks much better than rust IMHO.

Changed my oil....switched over to synthetic. Also i FINALLY put my rear strut bar on....been putting it off for too long. About to go for a drive so we'll see how well that rear one compliments the front.

I love how the oil filter on the 3500 is at the bottom of the engine....much easier to take off and a lot less messy. I hated how on the 3400 the filter was towards the middle and whenever you took it off the oil would go down the whole side of the engine and then you have to wipe it all off. Still gotta do some wiping with this one but not nearly as much. About 27k on the new engine :)

Good. All you can do in life is better yourself.

When I'm typing I come across as an ass hole(we can't even type that?!?) I'm very blunt when it comes to text. I know what I mean, but it doesn't always come across the way it should in my head.

Second attempt at the gauge overlays successful! I also changed the speedo and tach needles to orange to show up better on the white.

I'm sick of not being able to see inside my console/armrest at night so I installed a light in there.

installed the turn signal assemblies. Note that I removed the bezel around the headlights. The projectors melted them, but it looks awesome on the car. Don't know if I'll use them, might use the euro bezels.

Anyway, installed new rear tires, and did wheel alignment. Damn rear camber, too cheap to get the camber bolts :p

Seriously? A set of 4 camber bolts shipped to my door was $40. You probably spent more on tire replacement lol.I will find a link to the website if you need it.

finally got around to installng the pioneer 6x9s i bought a week ago

[Shiwnath]

Changed all the red LEDS to blue(except the engine temp warning LED) and all the amber to white. Looks much better.. I'll edit this post with a pic in the night when I get a chance.

Spent time with my mamma today. She helped me bleed my brakes and reinstall my CAI! Love you ma!

[mrmike]

I bought some 1/4" puckboard to make a baller front splitter. BTW I put my projectors back together and HATED them compared to my euro lights. I might try painting them or swapping parts around but I just love the orange dome signals with the clear corner lenses.

[xXManwhoreXx]

Pictures????

[mrmike]

I'm working on it tomorrow, I will take my good camera with me. Well here is an old pic of the projectors from last fall, before I painted the housings white.
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w312/lethalSakura/2011-10-05183822.jpg

btw the red things are Hella supertones, but I've since painted them black so they don't stand out so much.

[xXManwhoreXx]

That looks pretty sweet imo and i am a huge hater on aftermarket exterior

[Mason]

took off the front license plate bracket which whoever put that on somehow managed to put like 20 holes in the front bumper so i filled the holes and painted

[tw0123]

last night i got around to installing the impala calipers... found out as i was bolting them up they are a 15mm bolt vs the alero stock 13mm bolt... so ya... after changing out the spindle and bearings, this is what i came out with :)
