      Chevrolet
      Aveo5
      SV

      First 70k were pizza delivery use. Dodged a deer the other day-- Left it's outline in the road salt and a few panel wrinkles.

      Modifications

      Front: Kumho Solus KR-21 185/60R14 on factory steel wheels-- looking to replace 2 bent wheels
      Rear: new KR-21 dot-to-dot

      CHAE37A2 "reproduction" outside mirror. black goes with grey

      •  

      Cleaned splice pack way up behind cluster.

      Don't steal my Kenwood radio!

      Baro was way off, Tried Borg-Warner MAP/Baro Sensor, still skewd 1.0 in Hg. Fuel Trims +4 at idle. Lights dim with turn signal or brake apply: Cleaned grounds behind headlights, and big one bet. battery and coolant bottle; Cleaned ones attached to starter.

      NGK BKR6E-11 plugs, Import Direct 40074 wires, Fel-Pro Valve Cover Gasket. BWD EC1792 MAP sensor. 35 MPG.

      Timing belt #3 around 180,000. some time after that the odometer quit counting up. some of the segments don't work anyway. backlight bulb is melting the plastic around that area as well

      leaning towards replacing the ignition coil for the intermittent hesitation/buck/jerk. My throttle body throws a correlation code once in a while so I'm still mulling it over

      Creak in front end over bumps: poss strut mounts/control arm bushings; lubed strut rods and stabilizer bushings, still squeaks; Probably control arm bushings. Lubed c/a busings one side- squeak went away on that side for 2 mos. Looking for energy bushing kit, chassis stiffening bars...
