Okay everyone, my name is tony. This is my first thread (yay). I had to purchase a new car today as my geo tracker was rear ended saturday night with my girl and i in the car. Anyways so i bought the 05 aveo. i thought it was an 04 somehow and when i googled 2004 chevy aveo issues i didnt see the failing timing belt. anyways i spoke to the guy i bought it from and he says last year he purchased the gates deluxe kit (includes water pump?) and had all the parts installed. okay first, a bit about the car, its an 04, has 56000 original miles. automatic. no leaks. okayy heres
question number one: is the gates a decent timing belt kit? are the tensioner and idle pulley metal by chance???
question two: when should i replace it again?
question 3: what other little things should i look out for?
question 4: before i ask let me first say that i appreciate quality sound from my speakers. I have two 6x9 type a 5 way speakers at 500 watts each (pioneer) that i would like to stuff in that car somewhere. wheres the best place?
question 5: i also have a ts-sw3002 shallow mount 12 inch i wana put in the back. is there a plug and play harness to change out the deck unit?
question 6: am i going to lose dash lights/electrical funtions if i use said plug and play harness to set up an after market head unit?
question 7: has anyone tried putting 8 or 10 subs in the rear door panels? id like a couple of those for my rock music. the 12 just cant keep up or sounds wayyyy too bassy for rock music.
question 8:are there any interior upgrade parts to help ease the install of the bigger speakers? i dont want to botch the interior of such a decent little car. I guess i should give myself more credit, i do good work but i dont want to have to alter the interior if i could just change it out with premolded parts.
