    I painted the front and back emblems black. I painted the chrome across the taillights black. Redid the grille. Lowered a little in the front. Tinted windows.

    Well I'm going to paint the wheels gunmetal until I can afford new wheels. Im also gonna drop the back 1" too. That wouldn't be considered a trend would it?

    Nice car. L-series are lame though. S-series is where its at. Needs a drop, wheels, and exhaust.
    Check out sixthsphere.com if you're not already on there. Best Saturn website there is.

    Thanks man. S series didnt come with ecotecs though. Sleeper FTW. I plan on supercharging it. It's just the car I was looking for.

    Yea. I was saying that because the S series did not come with an Ecotec which has way more aftermarket support than the 1.9 that it does have potential to be a sleeper. Right now hell no it is not a sleeper. it's got all of like 120 whp.

    Pretty sure something is a "sleeper" when you think its a slow P.O.S. car and then it beats you in a race. If I got beat by a Lol 200, it would have to be a sleeper.
    1. you act like people wont race anything and everything
    2. yes, a d series. there is something about beating civics that Saturn owners love. I know I had a good time beating them in mine. They were always so sad.

    Just found out today that I can't supercharge it because gm's reflash won't work with my ECU . Now I have to build it n/a or turbo it. I shouldn't run into any problems doing either of those except tuning.

    Well I mean if he takes it to a detail shop it'll obviously be cleaner than a simple wash. I bet he gets it detailed.

    Owned a Saturn some time ago. Stock, ugly, and 5-speed. Walked on many stock/mild civic's around. Best kill being a mini-me swapped ej1 with basic bolt-on's.

    Saturns are straight cars man. If they had better aftermarket support things would be a lot different. What are your plans?

    I wish they did. LLo's are great motors too though. Mine had 176k when I sold it and it ran like new.

    VERY true. When your aftermarket support is other members on a forum, its pretty difficult sometimes.

    I'm gonna go with a Cobalt SS exhaust. not sure what kind yet. I'm also gonna piece together a supercharger kit from an SS. Throw in some cams. If that's not enough then I'll see where it goes after that.

    Thanks. Whenever I was at varsity I didn't get one look so I figured I was the only one that thought it looked better. I mean I understand that there is alot of wayyy better cars there but noone really even glanced. I guess it is only a Saturn.

    Ur just not jumping on the "new fad bandwagon" or whatever it is that kids are doing now. I applaud you for going away from the norm. Just keep it simple and don't make it something that it is not.

    I might do some small things to the outside like I already started doing, nothing flashy. My goal is to make a fun to drive reliable daily driver. It's already fun to drive, but the other day I got outran by a Durango 5.9r/t of course it is a 14 second SUV. I hope to put down 200-220hp to the wheels. My old Sentra put out around 200-210 to the crank and I was happy with it for a civilized daily driven car. It wasn't slow but it wasn't a race car. Anyone else who wants to call me stupid for even messing around with a Saturn that's fine with me And for the people that don't understand what an Ecotec is, its the same thing that is in a Pontiac solstice, Cobalt SS, Saab 9-3 and the HHR SS. And I'm saving up for another car that is not gonna be my DD. I'm gonna try to not spend too much turboing it but I'm not skimping out and buying cheap parts either.
