New here, from Wilmington DE
 

Hey guys...I was just informed about this site so I figured I'd introduce myself...

My name is Dan, I'm from Wilmington Delaware...currently I'm driving a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline. I just figured I'd say hey, and wait for it to warm up to get out to some meets. Here's a quick pic of my car...let me know what you guys think.

Not a bad car..... needs a drop.

Where bouts in Wilmington?

And of course, welcome to TST

car looks very nice. what mods do you have done?

Haha yeahhhhh, the springs I want aren't in production again for another month or so...but trust me it's on the list lol. But I live right off of Naamans road. Or Foulk. Or Grubb. depends on where you're coming from lol.

So far I have intake, header, exhaust, GM Stage 2, torque dampener.

I ran consistant 13.8s at Cecil with 2.4 60's on my old tires...unfortunately I didn't get to run it again before they closed when I got my new wheels Tires...

I'm really just hoping to break mid-13s and call it quits. I've got a 2.8" pulley on the way, so I'm hoping that and the tires will do the trick.

nice man, we should meet up some time. i got a stage 4 cobalt ss/sc.

Nice, and welcome!

13.8!! Holy crap. Thats with the factory pulley? What were your trap speeds?

no offense, its a saturn. haha but keep up the work

welcome to tst!

and i am always in wilmington at my g/f's house off of faulk rd. So if you hear a loud wrx blow by you or hear it around that would be me haha

I'm not a big fan of Saturns but I gotta admit I like yours.

Welcome to TST!

Well, the factory pulley is 3.3" but I've got the GM Stage 2 pulley on there which is 3.1" and my trap speeds are usually around 104, give or take a 1/2 mph.

Haha trust me, I use it that my advantage all the time. If I race somebody and win, then wow, they just got beat by a Saturn...but if I race somebody and lose, who's gonna go around telling their friends they beat a Saturn?

It's a win/win siutation lol. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I saw (err, heard) you by the gas stations (four corners) on Foulk and Silverside...

My gf lives off of naamans too. She lives right around the corner from booths corner and I hear a subie pass by pretty regularly.

HAHA good point....I was looking into a cobalt before I got the sti....but nice ride anyways man...did you get the recaros?

i pass by there all the time. I ll be passing there between 5 and 6 tonight

Yea, i am going through there all the time. My g/f lives the first dev. if you make a left off of faulk coming from naamans. But, maybe you will see me around sometime in your car. Just honk or fly by me and i ll do the same hahaa i love crusing down faulk there isnt really any cops haha. And trust me my car is loud, so you will know it me

Yep it came with the black/blue Recaros.

The one right by the ACME? I'm pretty sure it had to be you, I only know of one other WRX louder than this one was...around here anyway.

did it have an STi wing on it?

Yeah it did. Like I said it was really quick glance of the back, and from what I saw I just assumed it was an STi...not you?

yea i am rocking an STi wing

welcome to tst

Wow. Thats pretty fast. Was that street tires or DR's? I'm assuming with that pulley you are around 13-14psi? Does the stage 2 eliminate the high RPM boost bleed?

I"m going to have to take the Saturn to the track after I get the new clutch installed. I've never really run it because the stock clutch goes weeee after the first 30 feet, but i've got the 2.8" pulley, motor mounts, suspension, HP Tuners, and i'm about to do the Exedy clutch. Once I get that clutch tighted up I think the car will really fly.
