Sounds just like me 2 years ago, anyone remember the giant thing i planned on putting on the Alero? Still put it on, but in shrunk format. Then took it off.
Don't do it!

I am in fact, for mechanical and aerospace engineering. And that's kinda funny...small world. Well if you're ever passing through, I'm the RA at Kelly A this year. I'm sure she knows where that's at and can point ya. You'll probably see my Alero before you see me since it's parked on the street...I'm on the wait list for an actual parking pass, lol.

I spent $1300 on turbocharging. It could've been done for less if I hadn't used a $230 external wastegate. My mention of $5,000 was TOTAL. As in bodywork, paint, interior, engine, wheels, turbocharging and all other minor items.

I understand you're going for the show-car look, but just because it's a show car doesn't mean it has to be ugly. When you start seeing the same wing on every pile-o-shit on the road, you might regret putting it on. That's all I'm saying. By all means do what you want, we're just here to try and give you some tasteful advice so you don't make a mistake and have to re-mod over and over like I did lol. I used to have a huge wing.

i used to have a fart can, a bunch of vynal stickers, and a rattle can paint job...:lol: :lol:

KenshinZero 08-09-2009 11:22 AM
Yeah please avoid the huge wing, every gawdy civic I see has that, and all the ricy V6 Mustange with asshats driving them have it, it has a real negative vibe to it, like it screams idk wtf im doing or something, IMO. I used to think haveing a spoiler was cool I wanted an aluminum one, but I realised that it was a bad idea, and kinda looked dumb, thankfully befor I ever bought one. Giv this some real searus thought, befor you go and do something you will regret.

wrestlingandrunning 08-09-2009 11:48 AM
oh don't post street racing stories a lot of people on here people do not like that and will get on you for it. So please edit that before someone else reads it.

KenshinZero 08-09-2009 12:30 PM

Pictures will be up when I have some more time. Right now I'm going through training for my Residential Assistant position at my college and it literally eats up about 12 hours per day. I'll try and take some tomorrow, but right now I just got back from a 2 day camp and am just ready for bed.

Psyfox,
Because you are my new "pick-on" buddy, I say post pics now or I will come down there and smack you around with a camera and hope to get some good pics that I can post up on the forums. LOL
Just kidding. I work 16 hour days and am on here most on the time, what are you complaining for?

It's 12 hours a day training, plus breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus another 6ish hours that I work on stuff that needs to be done for my job with a deadline of this Friday. So in all reality, I'm working/occupying 18-19 hours of my time to this job. And it's raining at the moment otherwise I'd run out and get a couple real quick, but I won't have anything up until tomorrow, and if not then it could be as far away as the weekend.

For now I need to head off to another meeting. Stuff's hectic around here.

I'll get them up as soon as I have time during the day, but for now, deadlines for my job are my number one concern.

KenshinZero 08-11-2009 08:43 PM
PLUH...
Grab some pics between work and food, thats usually what I do, lol I keep my camra in my car

Psyfox 08-13-2009 05:13 PM
Pictures posted. Check the link in my siggy to see them.

[ion] C2 08-13-2009 05:39 PM
I hope you bought side skirts. Probably not installed yet.

You seriously like the way this looks? I just don't get what it is that attracts everyone to this wing. It's ridiculous. Double deck, wavy, tall.

adam337 08-13-2009 05:47 PM
...now no one from your area is going to come to aleromod.. good going bud. :p

I did buy them, and yes they're just not installed yet. I wanted to get them on before I came back down to school, but it just barely didn't happen in time.
