Couple quick Q's

[PSiedTSi]

Pulley kits are like $80. The motors are stout as hell too. There was just a TT Grand Prix that ran mid 9's with the stock long block...

[inspector01]

Trannies are the weak link of the ssei from my experiences.....pretty shitty but that was in a 93

[PSiedTSi]

They have the "HD" version, but yeah it is generally considered the weak link. People have stockers into the 10s but at that point its a guessing game.

[JN607]

How much would a HD tranny for an SSEI?

[PSiedTSi]

The HD is standard after like 96...

My buddy up in aberdeen has a avenger and damn for an avenger wow

17 inch wheels
carbon fiber hood
lowered 5 speed
can (exhaust)
looks fuckin nice

performance he has heads and car intake i believe and some other shit not sure tho its nice and well its actually pretty quick too

[beachbum_jon]

yeah its pretty rice, it think you can get a 5spd sebring tranny, same motors i beleive but dont quote me. i know they had 5spd trannies for sebrings tho for a fact. and both cars are 2.5L...and something most people dont know about sebrings and avengers is that in 1st they will shift to 2nd by them selves redline..

[JN607]

I went to test drive it yesterday night and it's pretty nice. 6K for a car with 54K miles. Not to bad, in my book, that is still getting broke in. They said that the car was serviced every 2500 miles whether it needed it or not, and I slammed it down a few times, and it goes pretty quick. I am going to go try and test drive the bonneville today and I will let you all know what I think. I really want the bonneville, but in all practicality, it might have to be the avenger. I'm not made of money...although I wish I was...lol

[PSiedTSi]

What year of bonneville were you looking at? I know you can find yourself a GTP/Regal GS/SSEI for cheaper than the Avenger...

[inspector01]

It is a domestic tho, that is towards the end of its life.......

[JN607]

The bonnie I am going to go check out is an 01'. It's really nice. Black with a HUD. It's a sick car. They want 8950 for it which kinda is a stretch for me. Tell me about that other bonnie though..

[PSiedTSi]

Oh damn, 01 is pretty new, have you checked out carshq.net or keepitlocal.com yet? I bet you can find somethin there. If not try, autotrader. A little bit of distance is usually worth a lot on the price...

[JN607]

This person did alot to his Avenger...

Looks like a lot of money to me..

[24valvenotak]

he bought a purty motor, although im not sure where he got the part about reving the thing to 13k..

[PSiedTSi]

And its the SOHC motor as well...

[JN607]

I know the differences between a DOHC and a SOHC but what are the advantages between the two?

Well I was saying the motor he bought was the SOHC 3/s motor, which is not the super-motor he claims it to be. If he wanted something cool, he shoulda just done the TT motor.

420A 5spd > 6g73 automatic

You beat me to it..
I was going to say that some avengers come with a 4cyl (420a) motor, and already a 5-speed, so you would save on the transmission swap.
The 420a motor is a pretty popular motor, not only found in avengers, but also talons, eclipses, and even neons. They make a few kits for them as well. I believe hahn makes a 20g kit for them.. This was upon research many years ago. I don't think the stock clutches in that car aren't quite that strong, but an upgrade is a pretty good idea if you do turbo it. The internals also I don't think can hold too much power, but upgrades are also avail. as well.
I'd do a google on 420a Turbo or something of that sort, and you'll find a lot of info.
Regal GS/GTP(GrandPrixs) can also be modified easy for some great speed.

[PSiedTSi]

420A's are pretty upgradeable, but I will say L67(Bonneville SSEI, GTP, Regal GS) is a better motor than the 420A.
