These are the wheels that are going back on the car, i'm in the process of refinishing and painting them. They were pretty badly curbed up when i got them, but I got em for cheap so I'm not complaining. They're a 16X7 which is just what i wanted

Looks like a nice car man!

[sleepersatty99]

looks very good. where did you find the interior?

[PunkboySL2]

Interior came from a JY car, it was all in really good shape when i pulled it. The leather seats came from some dude in phoenixville (i think i'm spelling that wrong) and those are in really good shape besides that the frame on the drivers seat is busted. They just need to be conditioned and fix the drivers seat and they'll be good to go.

I need a bunch of stuff this summer though, a trunk, rear bumper, front fenders, at least one door skin and maybe a front bumper. The car will be painted and tinted soon, not sure exactly what color I'm going with yet though.

[sleepersatty99]

yeah i need a front bumper cover, new pass side mirror and i got rear ended the first of this month so im waiting for that to get fixed oh and i need a new headlight houseing. lol so yeah i need so new things too. if you come a cross some parts let me know or if you want to do a JY day let me know im always on the hunt for you pull it parts.

How far from Philly are you?

[PunkboySL2]

well it's been forever since this has been updated and I'm sure not too many people care, but I've got a ton of work that's going to happen before the end of April for the sonic meet. I wanna get this thing spruced up and dropped down. To do before the meet:

-replace fuel pump
-fix stupid misfire or whatever is causing the car to chug at partial throttle occasionally
-Progress coilovers
-repaint brakes
-replace all rear bushings w/ poly
-new more sleeper muffler (no more fart can!)
-fix rust, especially in the rear door sills and front subframe
-paint, finally!!! (mabye, more than likely going WRC blue)
-fix rattles that have re-developed on interior
-new wheels, looking for a 16x8 n 205/50R16 912's
-find newer MP3 trans to replace the beat one in this car
-newer control arms
-new painted knuckles
-replace or fix crappy header
-yellow fog light tint (maybe)
-35% window tint all around (another maybe)

It's a somewhat big list, but I think i can definitely see getting it done in the few months I've got. I'm gunna be daily driving my 95 SC2 that I picked up for a while till I get this done, then i'll be selling that off and putting this car back on the road. Really I just want to do what i've always wanted to get done with this car. It should be pretty sweet once it's all done (as far as a saturn goes lol.)

[PunkboySL2]

here's more what i'm aiming for, but all one color and w/ some rimmmmzzzz

[sleeperSL2]

Stick with grey. don't paint it blue.

[JDMTyler3326]

If I had a saturn it would look like this but one color.

[PunkboySL2]

Hoping for one color before the april meet. Just throwing a quick update in here. Wanted to start taking parts out a few days ago, but not gunna happen now since it was raining a little and my yard is too soft for it to go anywhere. I wanna start tearing it down so i can pull out the engine/trans together and just bolt everything back together outside of the car. Which reminds me, gotta pick up a new friction surface for the fidanza while i have that out. I'm back and forth about getting rid of the power steering as it's nice to have for a DD, but I used to drive without and and i actually enjoy not having it once the car is rolling. Also going to be replacing the AC compressor and one of the hoses as the system just doesn't want to act correctly even after replacing the high pressure line and regulator deal on the firewall. Somone mentioned i should probably do the dryer at the same time so that'll probably happen too.

[sleeperSL2]

Reading that seems oddly familiar

[Dom1013]

Aw man, love to see Saturn builds, looks good...gotta have that tupperware pride haha

...I gotta few more things to wrap up on my build also, I'll be at the sonic meet as well if I can get these last few parts in time.

[Slow_EJ8]

hmm ill hafta see if i can drag out some pictures of my old SL2. turbosaturns.net still the place to be? Ian still makin moves in his 95?

[Slow_EJ8]

[sleeperSL2]

i believe turbosaturns.net is gone..some things are saved from there, like write ups and such. it's sixthsphere.com now. a lot of smart people.

your car looks clean.

car looked clean. I can't say the last time I heard of Ian working on his SL2. He had a MONSTER build that he ended up selling off unfortunately. Turbosaturns has been gone for a few years now, like Kyle said Sixthsphere.com is really the best place for saturn info now. There's a few other decent sites still floating around, but 6S is the most active it seems. Saturnfans.com is still active, but its pretty gay so I don't even bother with that anymore.

Anyway, on to updates. The car is coming back apart again, here's some shots.













Everything except the motor outs are out now to get the engine out. Got the header out tonight and a few other small things. Now I just need to get some parts and I'll be ready to rock n roll.

[sleeperSL2]

With the progress', should the drop be about the same for me?

[PunkboySL2]

Probably not quite that much, the first gen fenders sit a little higher I believe so it won't look quite as low, but it'll be close. Progress drop more even too, so the back won't sit up higher.

[PunkboySL2]

well here's a few crappy pics. I did take it for a short drive tonight and realized that with widish sticky tires, no power steering and a really crappy alignment the car is not fun to drive haha. Also the lower coolant hose decided to start leaking > but i think it's just not seated correctly and clamped right so i'll fix that tomorrow or wednesday. It's hard to get a real good idea of how it sits right now, but once it's all better i'll do better photo shoot.







I still wanna touch up in the engine bay a little before the show, it's pretty clean, but i wanna get it cleaner.

EDIT: got the coolant hose fixed, no biggy there. My one tie rod end bolt is stuck, so it's currently soaking in atf and hopefully i can get it moving before the show sunday. I'm doing some work trimming the fender liners as my tires are going to rub them off soon if i don't.

[sleeperSL2]

Again. looks good haha
