Ordered a 24" o2 wire extension from casper electronics. The MMS headers require me to add another extension in... Already got one from them back with my old set. But the wiring is pretty taunt and ran right above the rear header in the exhaust tunnel right now cause thats the only way i could get it to reach. So i got an extension so i can move the wire out from above the header and relocate it.
Its been fine. But i dont want to drive 4.5 hours to michigan in 2 weeks and melt my o2 wire. But with the hour drives ive done so far, i havent had an issue. So im just doing it to play it safe.

Not today but, Saturday we got the stock manifold off, only broke one stud but a bolt extractor took it right out. 7 of the other studs pulled right out, 2 the bolt came off clean so we didnt pull those. We got the new studs in, thermostat replaced. and the new manifold on. Turns out I had to modify the brake booster vacuum line a pinch so we left the rest for next weekend. Hope to have all the other goodies put on and ready for exhaust by the end of the week.

I walked out to go to work today and one of my exhaust tips was gone, I dont know what to think about that. It looks strange with just a passenger side exit.
Drove it again. 2108XX miles now

Today was quite busy. I replaced the pipe behind my cat to 2.5 along with a glasspack to replace my resonator, put an oem ecotec emblem on the coil, and reinstalled my subs. In the past couple of weeks, i also replaced the brake booster and hub bearing.

I know what you mean. When I dont have time for my alero, sometimes I just want to give up. After a little elbow grease though, it feels very encouraging.

Wow that's a long time. When your project is complete though, I am sure it will be worth it.

I probably should have saved the money for something more important but I was really tired of the stock radio and the FM transmitter I was using really sucked, so last week I dropped the $130 for the wire harness with chimes and an install kit....
didn't notice how dusty that was until I just looked at the pics here.
the rest of today will be spent trying and get the screws for my air filter off....

Why is the deck out so far? I had the same deck in my car right flush with the bezel...

I couldn't get the mounting brackets to bolt to the deck with the bolts supplied and get it in the space. the bolts have a smooth head, no screw driver slot or squared edges for a wrench. so it's just kind of sitting there.
it took about 20 minutes to wire the harness, had to strip the wires for the speakers because it had RCA plugs but the harness for the unit has wires, not plugs.
took another 2 hours fighting with the thing to figure out I couldn't get the brackets on, then trying to fit all the wires in with the door chime unit hanging somewhere.....
I can push it in a little more flush but I just got tired of messing with it and gave up

fitting everything in behind the radio is a real pita. It takes a lot of crafty packing but it can be done.

Finally got the front brake upgrade kit from MMS put on, boy is it nice to not have warped rotors. (And much better stopping power!)
I think this is how all Aleros should have been equipped. (Or at least GLS models.)
