My newest ride

Well, here about a month or so ago, my car broke down, of course it was a gas hog and pretty much worthless to me. So I bought a 1995 Saturn Sl2 and have now been makeing modifications to it as best as I can. It already came with a custom sound system, I'm still improving it though by adding new speakers. Another thing I have done is converted the head lights to xenon lights.

I also installed a set of fog lights.

And now i'm working on getting enough parts for a cold air intake, but after that I'm not to sure on what else I might be able to do besides buy a different set of rims and tires. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you, much appreciated.

looks good...(beer)

If you are looking to improve the intake... you might want to consider a new exhaust.
(no fart pipes please)

Looks like a nice car!!

Nice car , how much power is it putting out ??

Ah right now I believe it's only a 150 HP, but if I do the intake and exhaust it should be around 175-180 I think.

nice job, what kind of gas hog did you have before that broke down?

A 1985 Cadillac DeVille, which of course had an out of tune V8 that I always tried to improve. But no matter what I did to make it run smoother still drank gas like a fish.

I've never seen anyone so excited about an 11 year old SATURN

throw a big mexican coffee can exhaust system on there, so when you go down the street everyone hears you coming and laughs at you....

It's definately not a ricer machine, good exhaus is meant for a high power engine, not a 4 banger. But regardless if I put highflow exhaust it will probably end up like that.

if i'm not mistaken, its 132hp stock. cold air intake will give you about 5-10, same with exhuast. i'm not putting it down, just that car is so damn light, thats a lot of power. if you have the money, go for a new coil pack, plugs, and wires. if you want to get really serious think of a new cam.

I actually bought the plugs and wires just the other day after posting this, but I do need a new coil pack, as for the cams, I don't know. I might throw some new headers on there, and convert the back from drum to disk brakes.

since we dont get these cars here in Oz, dont know much about it. looks nice though..

you going for a full on street machine? or you trying to make something that will look really good and be comfortable?

A little of half and half, won't race it pro, but comfortable is always good. I would like a body kit but haven't found one that looks good that is affordable yet. Oh, and talk to the wizard, I hear he's good on well most of his word.

you got any side pics or engine pics of the car? like i said, we dont have them here in Oz and im really interested in seeing what they look like and know more about them.

Hold on i'll take some really quick for ya

Not too offend, but its a Saturn...not too much more you can do without doing some real mechanics.
