Well I’ve just started working on my new Aveo5, starting off with baby steps. Got some big idea, but have to hold off on any engine mods until the warranty is over (3 years).

1. Going to be adding some custom interior dash paint to mach the body color.
(add red vinyl to door trim Aug. 1st 2009)

2. Replace the rubber shifter, get the knife out and cut away!!!

3. Replace the shifter boat with a red and black leather one.

4. Have a racing strip painted on the car that runs from front to back over the top.
(racing stripe add Aug. 3rd 2009)

5. Installing a custom rear spoiler.

6. Modify the air intake box to hold a cone air filter and keep the lid off until it goes in for it’s check-ups Have to keep it looking stock!



So as I put things together, I’ll post them up

First Road Trip.

Well just came back from me first long road trip with Red Max and was very happy with it all around performance. With the car fully loaded, wife, son and luggage we set out on our 1100km round trip. It consisted of winding country roads, steep hills and flat out highways, a really good test for the car.

1/ So for gas use I averaged 550km a tank (42L) with A/C on half the time.
2/ The comfort of the ride was good for a small car and my ass never fell a sleep.
3/ The winding roads where fun to drive, but I did need to give myself enough time for passing. Need to shift down to fourth or third to pass to have good power.
4/ In the hills the car pulled quite well. I only had to shift down to fourth on long hills or if I was passing.
5/ On the highway, well that’s when the fun started. I had no issues, the car ran at 120km/h with no problems. Had a little fun with a blue Minnie and we played tag for some time down the highway, cruising at 140km/h. the car was smooth with no vibration, there was still more she was willing to give.
6/ After the trip I checked the oil and had used ¾ of a L, but the engine is still going through break in. (before trip car had 1200km)

So after a wash and a clean up I am very happy of this little car. No it’s not a big block eight or a lechery sedan, but a well put together small car that can give any car in its class a run for there money.
