Smashed out litter box

[heeter_33]

Just went over the whole thread. Really enjoyed the build. Its always nice to see someone put the effort into a car that no one typically does, making it look awesome in the process.

Wheels are sold.

Replaced with these.



Keskin KT1's. 16x7.5 +20 and 16x9 +15. Going to go down to a 205/40 on the front and stick with a 205/45 on the rear. Fake bolts are currently coming out and the wheels are going to a buddy to get the lips stripped and polished.



And I had to test fit them on the old one. Would have worn them well.



Almost time to start moving parts over.

So. Been driving it around, letting stuff break on it at stock height before diving in. I dove in this week.

Last night, this happened.





Coilovers got completely disassembled, cleaned, greased, and put back together with new Hyperco Springs. Shorter and softer. So far the ride is better, andI still have 2" of thread to go down from where I am in these pictures. This is a good thing.

Then this happened today.



SPS 4-1 header and HKS Catback is on now. Car feels like a brand new car, powerband is so much more familiar, it feels like the gold wagon again.

Also purchased this.



Legit Nardi Classic, 360mm it is a takeoff of a vintage Jaguar(I think) from Malaysia. Got it for $70, which is a steal for these. Then just spent another $80 on a horn button, button retainer ring, screws, and a trim ring. Now Im having Kyle Eagleton's buddy make me a hub like his, and this will be on.

So now that the Exhaust, coilovers, intake, and AMR radiator are in, that covers the big stuff. Now its time to star the interior swap, and moving some small stuff over form the gold car.

Wheels come back from my buddy next week, so those should be on as soon as the roads are clean.

Feels good to be back in a low car again.

Getting there. Slowly but surely, its almost show season. Haha

[PlastikAvenger]

Welp...

[Randomofodication]

Looks badass!

[d0wse]

Looks killer.

Very nice. It looks like you have a little rake there, but it looks good. The first dealership I sold for was a Saturn store, so I have a soft spot for these weird little cars.

First show of the year was yesterday. 2.5 hour drive to CT on some sketchy highways. This thing is easily and inch lower than the gold car. Needless to say, some of my subframe was shaved off. But, the car made it down and back without any major issues. Car was pretty popular though, got a lot of good things said about it. Show was in a gravel lot, and I was shaking gravel out of the subframe for hours. Whoops.



Then it started rubbing pretty bad somewhere around 1am on the way home, stopped at a rest stop and found this. Whoops. Time to lean that side in a bit I guess.



Going to start ripping the tan interior out of the gold car tomorrow. I miss my brown dash and leather seats.

I don't know how you did it, but you made this Saturn look GOOD.

[saturnstance]

I love it. Makes me miss my saturn lol

Rubbed through the fender. That's boss.

Looks so awesome.

Wow I never thought a saturn could be cool. Nicely done.
