Hey everyone, I'm new!! (link)

Oh no! I didnt realize I was digging my grave, let me try to save myself!!! Call me an ass. A saturn on 20's with 20394803 T.V.s, lambo doors and a Skyline wanna be kit will get you laughed at by any real car guys. Your money, do what you want, won't keep me from saying that it is riceriffic.

well, you might have reading comphrension problems, looks like he is doing the tailight conversion ( from teh shapes of the back) and he's probably doin teh healight too from what i read, you call it rice, others may call it a show winner in his class....usually others would be car guys

My mistake, replace Skyline wannabe kit with wannabe Skyline conversion. Just read that you plan to put down 450 horses. Not sure how you plan to do so, but much respect for that. When you do that, you will get positive attention from car guys. Even with all the visual mods you chose to pursue.

Civic-The type of car guys that would enjoy all that stuff with no engine mods are the same guys that think that Pimp My Ride is a cool show. Are you one of those guys?

Yeah, it's not a kit...the front bumper is, but the rest is from actual Skyline...front and rear headlights and everything else.

...and for the engine, I've got Crower rods, QKSLTWO full race cams, Ferrea valvesprings and retainers, JE Pistons, Garrett T3/T4 .48/60, Spearco Intercooler, TiAL 38mm wastegate, etc, etc, etc...not to mention I've still gotta get ARP head studs and it ported and polished.

I actually hope someone on the outs says it's rice...that way I can embarass them.

But, like I said...i'm doing this for me. ME! If I don't get respect by ANYBODY, i'm not going to lose sleep!! There's a ton of people who like and appreciate what I'm doing, so the few haters I have won't deter me

For what engine?

[SaturnSLR34on20s]

Tpduke: It's the stock 1.9L DOHC...I thought about a motor swap to a 2.2 EcoTec from a Cavalier or the 2.0L from an ION, but I don't feel like gettin into all the crap involved...transmission issues, ECU, getting it to fit w/out sacrificing stuff, custom motor mounts, etc...I'm just gonna use the 1.9L DOHC for all it's worth.

Well, I'm about to go to work, so I'll talk to everyone later tonight!

Sounds like the same setup other turbo SL2's are doing... and I see a few of 'em in the 12's... hope to see your setup run similar times someday.

Good luck with that... however, everything on your car outside of the engine bay is not my cup of tea. ^.^
