96 Aurora in OHIO

[adam]

I've browsed the forums a few times and thought I should at least tell a little about myself.

I'm 25, live in Ohio. I own an Aurora because I can at least drive it comfortably, as I'm 6'8".

Mine is a 96 Autobahn Packaged, dark green with tan interior and currently at 93K.

I've put a few items on it in the past few years.

-Pioneer MP3 player
-Syl. Silverstars
-Euro Designz fog light bulbs should be here Tues. - Yellow ones
-Kenwood 3-way's all around
-Bridgestone Turanza's LS - H rated
-Cat back exhaust. Chopped the resonator off, 2.5" back to 2.25" y into a set of dynomax race series mufflers
-2004 gran prix gtp exhaust tips
-Gutted air box with k&n filter

Repairs
AC Comp. Clutch
3 Fuel Injectors

I love the car but sometimes think about trading it in for something that is less of a money pit.

It can get expensive, but I've seen worse repair bills

Either way, looks like an impressive mod list, well done!

Welcome adam!

Do you by any chance play basketball? ;D

I envy tall people.

Welcome Adam! Looks like your 96 ride is almost the same as my 98, minus the mods. Is yours the dark green or dark teal. I don't see too many in GM dark green. Check out my repair list on the Classic Maintainance section. I don't feel too bad now. Definition of an Aurora: "A bucket on the pavement in which you pour money."

[dred98]

yes . . but it's a fast luxurious bucket.

[adam]

Yeah it can get real expensive but I get discounts through some of the shops that sell ac delco products, along with the dealership my brother used to work at. Not too mention plugs and plug wires as well.

As for basketball, no I don't play...I'm too uncoordinated.

My Aurora is dark green, not the teal.

I've beat up on a few cars in it.
-A new Mach 1, rolling from 45, all the way to 90. Actually we were side beside, same for a 03 Conv. Stang.
-Gran Prix GTP, a few four doors.
-Saturn 2 Door Coupe, 16 year old kid. Man that was funny.
-A couple of bonnevilles.


And yes it is a fast bucket

Welcome aboard Adam,

Hey let me know how them Euro Designz fog light bulbs turn out, I was thinking about getting some of those also. If possible get some pictures up.

Sorry its been so long for a reply. I haven't been around the pc much lately. I acutally sold the car about two months ago to a friends mom. I will try to get pics and sound clips too. The 893 yellow fogs from euro designz are nice, helped me in the rain.

Sorry to hear you sold it. But feel free to stick around and contribute all your Aurora knowledge. Do you have any parts left over that you have for sale? Post in the Marketplace forum if so. I too would like to see those yellow fogs... what did they cost?
