SleeperSl2's '92 Saturn- Long term ish

[PunkboySL2]

i will drive to your house and kick you in the face if I see those wheels on your car haha. I'm telling you a good 16x8 w/ a 205 or 215 width tire will look nice. Or you could buy my old 16's for 150 bucks :D

[sleeperSL2]

nooo im not doing those. i have two definite wheel choice im going with, once i get to that point. buy my progress' haha you have like 3 saturns.

[sleeperSL2]

Just bought 1/2" rear hub spacers, it'll help bring the rear out from its stupid sunk in position now.

I know what they are lol.

And nice pickup

[sleeperSL2]

haha yes you do. but im happy with them. every little bit helps.

You need some nice LIGHT 16" wheels. Rota Slipstreams or something that weighs similar. Reducing unsprung weight is the best way to improve performance of any car, acceleration, braking, cornering all in one shot.

What about lightweight pulleys and a header?

[sleeperSL2]

no one really makes a header for the car, i believe obx does and there may be another company, but there isn't that much of a gain with that or light weight pulleys.

[sleeperSL2]

Rota's average about 16lbs at 16x7

Then go custom ;) Bring it to a local fab guy and see what they can do for performance. Is there any reflashes or tunes that you can do?

[crazysaywhat]

well i can make a custom header for it, but they arnt exactly to cheap to make... if you want you can always pm me... i more specialize in turbo performance tho haha

[Willdue]

I can get a header made for you Kyle. And that things never gunna be speedy unless you boost it. id stance it.

[DPancoast]

coilovers and a switch to 16s is a must.. maybe even 15s. interested to see the spacers installed because thats the first thing I thought.. some tint and some other stuff and you're good. I wouldnt do exhaust until you do the 5 speed swap and just do the same size piping as the stock or if anything and 1/2 inch bigger.

good stuff so far man.

[sleeperSL2]

Im not throwing boost at it. that's for sure. 16's for sure, i believe with those it's enough balance with tire/wheels ratio it'll sit nicely.

Dpan, exhaust wont be until after 5 speed swap for sure. i can't stand cars that are auto and run aftermarket exhausts. bothers me something terrible haha.

[sleeperSL2]

Oh, and as for wheels..i wanted to go in the BBs direction..but most likely will be rotas..until i can go with something more "legit". i can justify spend 1000+ on wheels and the same amount on coilovers..hate if you want haha

[DPancoast]

haha yeah spending a lot on wheels on a daily none the less is silly

[sleeperSL2]

very. as long as it looks good me is all the matters.

Its one of 3:
-Slipstreans
-Grids
-SVN(VOlk RE30 reps)

in white.

[sleeperSL2]

the more and more i think about it and look around, i kind of want wide wheels, looking at 17x7.5 because i cant find anything 16x7.5

[DC2-Chris]

go 16x8

[Willdue]

stop messing around and go big or go home

[sleeperSL2]

as in?
