Junkyard build

[orion84gsl]

If you want a more mirror polish go to Princess Auto and get the Enkay polishing kit they sell there and a bunch of polishing buffs. The kit should come with rouge and white compound and a couple small buffs, but you'll want the larger diameter ones they sell separately. It's easier to get them to make contact without the drill hitting the lip. I have a set of BBS RS lips I'm just about done with and 3 of them are mirror polished. They started out looking just like yours did with tons of oxidation and pitting. The 4th one will be done this week. Use the rouge polish and then after wiping that off use the white with a different buff, then get some Mothers Mag and Aluminum wheel polish and go at them again. Then get some wax and wax them. It'll help pull a little more of the contaminants out of the lip as well as protecting them for a bit. I say Princess Auto because it'll be cheaper the Canadian Tire, and I know they have the stuff. The buffing actually doesn't take all that long either and you can watch as it goes from kinda cloudy to seeing your face clearly in it in just a few minutes. Amazing stuff. Good luck.

why not volks up front and enkei's in back? i think that might look alright if they're paint matches

that's what I'm planning

thanks!

so took a break from things wheel related for a bit and decided my trunk needed some attention.

Before: toooooo much junk in the trunk. definitely needed something to mount my amp to, plus the wires were a serious mess. and I didn't have a trunk light.


so i got to work! built a mount for the amp and tidied up the wires




and added an led light to brighten things up


yay for 90's audio!

This is awesome. I'm so happy to see another saturn guy on here. I'm trying to save up to do some work on my 2002 three door sc1.Your info is way more informative then 90% of post on sixth sphere.

Sooooo, got a set of 2 tires...

205/40R16, Which means the cars going an inch and a half lower spacers should come soon and then I'll have an actual update

This car reminds me of when mine was still blue!!! Haha


Man great great idea with the neon stuff, are the struts shorter as well to alow for more shock travel then the Saturn ones??? That's the issue I'm running into with my setup being so low is my struts keep bottoming out and rides horible..... I've been looking for something todo and this I home is the answer....

I'm on stock struts now,

Spotted you! Turning onto John Laurie Blvd, slammed out, just missing some wheels

I'll have to measure them when I get a chance, but if I remember right I think they're maybe about an inch shorter. haha your car is actually the main inspiration behind my build! what size of tires are you running on yours if you don't mind me asking? I'm guessing its around a 40 profile 16?

17" 40 series tires.... And thank you man that's honestly very awesome to hear!!!!

[Randomofodication]

sooooo, got a lil delivery today


and because I'm a 'tard I decided to test fit my back wheels without trimming down my stock studs.... so the wheels are pushed out half an inch further then they'll actually end up being. should be easily manageable with a little camber and stretch


from the front it looks like it sticks out a foot


gonna paint when the weather is good again, got a coat of primer on so far tho

Anytime! yours was the first Saturn i'd seen that wasn't riced out lol and I thought the roof was cool. k, so yours wouldn't throw the speedo off much then hey... I'm trying to figure out if i can change the face of my speedo gauge from the dohc gauge to the sohc gauge to compensate for the smaller tires..

Well my speedo is off by like 5mph fast at 70(according to gps I'm going 65) still, but my gps tells me so I just go by that.... Yea the roof is cool but still is a work in progress, I'm figuring out a top of it with magnets and things.....
