Not much power for a big engine? :/

 

Ouch, engine bay doesn't look very well :)

 

It's getting painted green probably :cheeky:

It still uses old school tech probably. I wanna get a throttle chip to help it with power and fuel economy.

 

EDIT: for some reason, performance chips aren't allowed in California because of our rediculous emission laws.

[Ryzza5]

Planning an interstate road-trip then?

[randomsox10]

I would, but the problem is California requires you to smog check all your vehicles every year or something and its very bad if you fail a smog check.

[Ryzza5]

A remap wouldn't affect your smog though. I've got one on my car that I can turn on/off during ignition if I want, not that we have yearly checks or anything. Only have to check the car when someone buys it off you.

[Broseph]

Cali law states is that new vehicles do not have to be smogged for the first 5 years.

Ive got two cars to represent

My baby.... 2001 Oldsmobile Alero GL2

Why don't you get one of those engine programmers (Trinity, Diablo are some brands I know of off-hand). You can tune your engine, then revert it to its stock tune when it's time for your emissions test. ;)

 

@Broseph- I like the Alero! :)

I'll look into that.

And Broseph, you sure know Cali law better than I do.

[Broseph]

Lol sox I lived on the high desert. for a lil bit of my life. And as an ex street racer (plz no complaining, im not being a bragger)....you learn emissions laws fast and who can provide illegal smogs.

A few more pics. All pics of alero are before I got into a collision feb 2011.

I was going to be all cheeky and say "Nice forklift", but you had to go and ruin it by making it the subject of your second photo :fp: :lol:

[The Compensator]

I love forklifts. We have one at our company. It's 30 years old, makes a lot of smoke, but it's fun driving it. :D

[me™]

Well at the moment I'm in this temp job I've had since the beginning of December. I sit in that warehouse at an abandoned papermill 10 miles out of Aberdeen and wait for lorries to turn up with bits of oil rig.

 

This past week I had 3 lorries the entire week. I spend a lot of time sitting about watching movies on a lap top, as I'm there on my own. The only other people on the massive site are a couple of security guards.

 

I actually have a fair few photos of the creepy abandoned buildings, including a few in thick fog.:ill:

4 fresh tires on it now :)

Let's wait for some more snow... Drifting time :lol:

[The Compensator]

Poor car. Buy some cover! :p

[Mb]

Why? To much hassle. And when the car is wet and you throw a cover over it, it freezes onto your car...

Snow is awesome... :lol:

[The Compensator]

Not bad. :para:

[Novice8]

Oooooh. A Koenigseggegegegeggggegegegeg.

 

JOKES

 

I don't drive. Too young, you see. It's the government's fault really.

[DJdan]

nice Pug there Mb

 

but i wonder are those driveable in the snow?

 

because took out my Mondeo today to buy me some winter survival food and barely could get it moving.

 

im guessing we both dont have Traction control

but do you have winter tyres and do they help?

 

i dont see the need to buy winter tyres only to use em for a week a year

It's a pain in the ass really... 185 wide summer tires on it now. Put those on this morning.

185 doesn't seem like much, but it's quite wide for a Peugeot only weighing 850kg.

Can't make any turn, when i push the pedal to hard i spin, when i brake to hard it locks right away.

I actually use the handbrake so i can make a 90 degree turn :lol:
