Junkyard build

im also quite flattered that the sphere has invaded cause of me, I'll do my best to document what I'm doing for the Saturn people out there! just out of curiosity How'd you guys come across this? most Saturn guys aren't into the whole stanceworks thing lol, unless you clicked the link from the thread punkboysl2 posted up on 6s, i tend to lurk through there . you might remember me from way way back, I'm the kid who has the 5 panel mirror and at the time made Domo badges haha. i believe you can get the same set from the neon from certain sunfires, IIRC I saw something about it on the kw site...

Ive been on this site for awhile, just never post.

I also would probably already have my car on the ground, but I havent had my license for 2 years and live an hour away from where my car is sitting. I got the parts lined up though, like I said GC sleeve setup and some 16x7 +32 and 16x8 +32 sitting here next to me that have to get redrilled and refinished. I always thought that Joe(punkboy) and I were the only ones that were into this scene as well, so its nice to see someone else making progress.

Someone linked your StanceNation thread on the sphere, and then someone brought this thread up.

LOL for the invaders from sixthsphere here's some more pics
top mount for the shock absorber. I will try and get more picks this weekend as I'll be adjusting the front lower

also, mistake on my part, the shock absorber didn't bottom out... i forgot the stock washer thing from the top of the dust cap on the one side but its in now haha, guess i was to excited and missed the one lol.

Kw vs stock.... can't tell in the picture but the kw's bottom mount is about .5 or 1mm tighter then stock so I used a hydraulic set to expand it a teeny bit.


I should be getting around to putting the back set in during the weekend. They look like they will be much much easier as they have way more thread then the front set.

@punkboy sl2. I loved your silver sl2.

Hey, tis a 6s takeover.... lmao

^ Hi Dan lol.

I'm also extremely interested in everything you did here suspension wise OP. I'm looking at a set of BC coils (for the neon) for my 94 SW2. My current setup is not ideal (old progress coils up front and H&R springs rear with a few dead coils trimmed). It rides nice, but I want to go lower and can't with what I've got. If this works and is relatively simple I'll probaby do the same setup on my coupe as well since that could highly benefit from better suspension setup.

Also the car looks decent, but I'd ditch those side skirts, they're just too big and bulky and don't go with the car well.

[PlastikAvenger]

Neon coils eh? Ok now Im intrigued.

Havent made a thread yet, but Im working on a 95 SW2 (wagon). Currently have wheels that Im working on, and also have some Ground Control coils that I will be using, but I like this Neon option. Would love to see more pics/info on how you did it.

A+ for creativity. Lose the bra, wing and mudflaps and you'll be golden.
Also being 4x100 you should beable to locate some pretty decent wheels on the cheap.
I love junkyard builds. Apparently there is some form of turbo that bolts onto the twincam Saturn motors too...lol.

I'll try to grab some picture sometime soon. essentially your just shorting the connection for the shock absorber as the threaded section on the kw is much shorter then the stock struts.
some quick Google sketchup pics to help try and explain what i did:
for the modified one i added some larger washers to the top as well

and this is just the top of the shock absorbers. the KW's have a much shorter stepped down diameter/threaded section


this pic is NOT from my car, just using it to show what im talking about:
essentially the mounts (parts with the bolt sticking out from the top of the strut tower) are shortened to allow for less thread, and extra washers added.

hope that helps!

@Anonymoose, for sure. haven't seen much in the yard in terms of imports but if i come across one i'll let you know!

[Anonymoose]

Mate if you happen to come across an s12 silvia can you let me know!? I'm after some side skirts and maybe other bits and pieces. Liking this thread

[siris]

Would you post a few pictures of your mods to the strut tower?

[mshriver]

Im sort of okay with this. I wish the mudflaps would dissapear though.
