hey
 

I may have introduced myself here before.. I can't remember.

Anyway, I just picked up a 2001 Alero GL (GL2 I think?). Blue, 2-door, 2.4L with all the options except leather.

Anyway, it's nothing truly special... swapping to a 5-speed in the next month or so, once work slows down and I can get a weekend off. Also got a line on some coilovers, so might grab those as well if they are not awful.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Looking forward to being more active around here in the future. Cheers!

Good amount of doors, good engine. :)

Hello and Welcome

Welcome to the site!

Yes, 2-door is pretty proper. I paid barely any money for this car and it is in excellent shape (a co-worker is moving to Florida from where I live in Canada, and sold me his second car cheap).

Yes it does have a sunroof.

Car goes back in Monday to get the hazard switch recall done, and then I am looking forward to modding it! I'm thinking HIDs are a must... for those with them, what is the cutoff like? Should I look into some form of projector so as not to blind everyone on the road, or do they project just fine on the stock headlights? The way they appear to be set up, I'm thinking they won't cause too much glare, but never hurts to ask from people who already have them!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

welcome to the family

good call on the 5-speed swap... mine came with it... and love my 5 speed

Welcome

no projectors needed, they work fine outta stock HL

Yes it's going to be a bit of a pain in the ass to do, but I'll be much happier with it... I have never owned an automatic car before, so it's hard to kick the habit of reaching for the clutch haha.

My buddy had to put a peice of foam on the floor for when he'd stomp down reaching for the clutch after changing to an automatic.

Nice. :lol:

Welcome buddy!

welcome, and search about the sunroof leak? I'd double check any common areas like that and prevent that now

ya... whenever i drive other peoples cars i always try to hit the clutch... or feel like i should be putting it in neutral or something. some days a auto would be nice but in the long run i love the 5-speed... now i just need more power... bwaahahah!

Thank you, will do so and ensure that is not a problem area. Just had the hazard recall done, and cleaned the shit outta the car. Gotta remove a dent, then prep for the transmission swap.
