Add a strobe light so the rest of the cars look like they're moving in slow motion.
muffler elimination, and a cai. About $100 for both if your handy.
Lowering springs would be the next buy.
Not very handy rabbit, but I learn quick. The CAI was definitely on my list of things to do. Does it really help throttle response? With the muffler, any suggestions of maybe something I can pick up at a chain store? Not really interested in waiting on something from ebay.
I guess that's a lil go. HahaQuote:

That's what I told her I was doing hehehe. Unless you have carpet thumpers you can't go wrong with slowin down the P/S, A/C and Alternator a little bit. You won't get alot of more power, but it'll free up just enough to be noticeable.
Mufflers are a cheep kill.
Better plugs bigger wires. Buy a dremel and polish the throttle body. Exhaust is easy stuff. **** i built my first CAI from parts at ACE hardwaer and oreillys in junction city i know you have been there.
So I put in a cold air intake. Does it ever make the car sound like a ricer. Haha I love it. New speakers also. Cant believe the difference in sound quality. No new subs or deck.. yet. But maybe I'm to old for that ****.
No one is to old for bass!Quote:

I'm too old for bass, but then again, the aveo is my first car in a while that you can still hear the stereo over the engine.

So the zebra has been sputtering since I put in the intake. Any ideas?
check for air leaks around the sensors. and the connection at the throttle.
That was definetly the problem. Just didn't have the right fitting. Any ideas on what to do with this?Quote:

will it really help anything if i do? One more question. Im pushing 35k.. what all do i need for a tune up? I have spark plugs, wires, oil and filter, tranny fluid. maybe new brakes or other fluids. not really sure
what tranny fluid? Our trannys are no service. Unless you do some work that requires a refill like i did. Check your brakes and rotate tires maybe get them rebalanced.
Good to know about the transmission. My tires don't have many miles on them. Hopefully the rain holds off so I can get this stuff done today.
there i a lot of debate with auto transmissions needs changed. i am going to go with the side of caution and say if you have an auto, to change what you can.
if you have a manual and smash gears a lot. then i would consider changing it too.
The shift is still pretty smooth. Currently doing a deep clean on the interior. Used a pet carpet shampooer. Wow the floor mats look like the day I bought them. You woukd be surprised at the room you have if you take out the passanger seat. Haha its like I have a truck. I would leave it out but I'm the barraks taxi. What do you know about that classic? Haha
I know a lot about that. lived in Junction City but I drove to the barracks before PT to pick up people.
Couls you possibly take some pictures of your "30%" tint whenever it's daylight from kind close like 5ft, then inside out? It'd be cool to see how much it shades.
Yes Mike I can make that happen. Should get those up tomorrow.Quote:

I was just spraying away and he was like.. "dude you destroyed your car" I was like "sh*t will buff out" haha. He almost freaked when I peeled it off. I have a knew take on the "audi-ish" lights too. I will post that pic momentarily. Let me know what you think. I'm thinkinh it needs to look more like a christmas tree.

Ever been bothered by police?
"knocks on woods" haha i have never been pulled over for the tint. Not sure what the price tag for that would be. The tint cost me around 130 installed. it makes the aveo look a lot better. dosent really help with the inside temp untill you get the AC pumping. Thinkinh of getting a shade for the front to see if that helps. As soon as i get the LEDs in my green in the dash will become white yo match the rest of the interior.
does your aveo have power windows and doors?
No. Where are you getting Green? How are you changing dash color?Quote:

in the dash cluster the lights are green. where the RPM and Speedo are. Also the same for the radio switches. On the 2010 you just cant plug and play the LEDs. Going to get a local store to change them out for me.
Ah yeah, forgot that the 2nd gen are soldered.Quote:

That's awesome man! I'm going to probably get "30%" in back and then 35% in frontQuote:

Guess what tomorrow is sports fans? That's right another day to put money in the Aveo. Looking for performance ideas. Tired of the V6 pieces of junk beating me. Lol
