[serega12]

I forget to ask you guys about this minor problem if it is a problem. Both my dad and i gt aveo's he gt a sedan 1.5 model though. Anyway the shocks of the car males a noise wen going over a hump or so, is that anything to worry about they tried tightening the bolts of my dad bt nuthing helps wat cud be the probelm?

No big upgrades... would like to trade it in

Mine does that to sometimes on the front shocks...btw i'm from JHB

There's a thread about this. You can find it here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27685

I got a question, i know a few guys asked this question, can i put a straight pipe in if i remove the the CAT as per picture shown above that serga has uploaded. We dont get any carbon testings this side in South Africa so that wouldnt be a problem and also if that isnt possible would a Opel/Vauxall manifold fit on the Aveos, because they are the same or similar if you look at it.

no emission system testing in Florida put mine on 4 yrs ago.

I go with 17x7 with 205/45r17 tires.

I have 205/50r16 had 45's wish I stood with the 14's they came with with 195/50r14 I want the car lower.

they make 195/45r14s.. i have 195/45r15s. would like to test fit some 195/50r13s for autocross.. (not sure 13" will fit over brakes)

Sowi Aveo Joe, wat exactly did u put on, regarding the manifold? I cudnt understand ur reply regarding that.

I have google Opel Corsa modified manifolds and they all luk similar to the Aveo modified manifold that the other guy made, am i correct in sayin so? Because then i would possibly get a opel one in South Africa to fit on my Aveo.

exhaust manifold? I got it from eBay. there is a forum member by the name of xiaogary he sold me a header .

well ill probably be doing this to my dads aveo, now the SA corsa and aveo motors have the same design so ill be using a opel corsa manifold. but what i want to know is can i jjust remove the cat and the car will drive fine or will the co2 sensor need to be changed to one that gives a false reading to the ecu?
