Quest for slammed/boosted Saturn Wagon

[mcmuda]

Something you do not see everyday! Keep it up .

What size are those wheels?

Missed the whole last page of comments, thanks guys!

Wheels are 16x7.5 ET35 using 10mm spacers up front and 1/2" hub spacers in the rear.

Working on a 2g DSM front seat swap. Gotta mod one of the seatbelts to work, saturn one attached to the DSM seat sits too high and the Saturn belt won't clip into the DSM buckle. Going to try and mod one of them lol. We welded the saturn sliders to the bottom of the DSM seat. Seat sits a little high, but it's not too bad.






New meaty tire fitment. 205/50R16 ziex 912. They bulge a bit, but oh well. Ipod nano wedged. Now need to get the backs to the same. I'm going to find a set of used coilovers and swap top hats and cut off the mounts and weld on some brackets so I can bolt them to a stock rear knuckle. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Loving the car. Mines coming along but I have a tire issue that I'm trying to work out.

What options does your wagon have for aftermarket front bumpers?

We don't have a lot of options, let alone any that I personally find good looking. Some examples:







I'm more of a stock body guy anyway.

It's gotta be fun pulling on people who think they're hot shit with your Saturn wagon. Definitely a different build going on.

It is fun! haha

I like the stock front bumper with just a lip on it honestly, I think any of the kits would sit too low anyway being that I drive this thing EVERYWHERE so it sees a lot of roads in Pennsylvania that aren't exactly slammed car friendly lol. I've been debating hooking it up with some Accord side skirts though just to bring the sides down a hair. Would be an easy cheap mod that I could pick up at any local junkyard.

I should add some more camber up front as well being that the tires rub on the already rubbed away fenders every time the suspension compresses. I will probably leave it until it gets a real alignment from a shop.

I was able to save up some dough and purchase these bad boys. I'll finally have a full set of good new coilovers so I can give this thing the drop it deserves! I should have them next week so now I can tuck tire all around. Going to try and get a photoshoot going soon and I'm thinking about changing up my wheel color as well.

God-awful wheel choice
I would suggest some fender flares, so that those wheels wouldn't poke out so much.
But nice to see a Saturn for a change.

[PunkboySL2]

I like a little poke now and again lol

Just need a hair more camber to stop eating up the front fenders and we'll be good to go

New coils are on the rear, it's lower than before, but still needs to go down a bit more all around.

Going to try and do a photoshoot on this thing very shortly before I raise it for winter. I do plan on picking up some new wheels and tires if I keep it for next season, something with a lip and going back to a shorter tire because these just rub too damn much.

Car is looking good!
