My newest ride

Ok, here's some engine bay and side pic. and I beleive saturn is sold overseas, I used to be a japanese company, I think, so don't hold me to it.

Cool ride, what kinda MPG does it get?

I"m sitting at probably around 30-35, I know I went probably 250 miles before I had to fill back up again, and I think I have a ten gallon tank, I'm still learning about the car so somethings I'm not 100% solid on.

thanks for the pics!....not a bad looking car

Thank you sorry the motor pics look bad but it's 11:30 and it's dark.

cool car, dude

Finally put my intake in, looks ok, didn't fit right but hey.

Saturn was started by GM back in the mid-90's I think. Their main focus was cars that were built and put together by actual humans and not robots. They are actually a really good car and they have come a long way since they first started.

As far as your car goes, I would buy some Eibach or Neuspeed springs and drop it about 1.5" and throw some bigger rims and tires on it. The only other thing I would do since it already has the sound system in it would be tinting the windows and adding an alarm if doesn't already have one.

This is making me miss my Accord, I had a AEM short-ram intake, DC 4-to-1 headers, ACT stage 1 clutch, Eibach lowering springs, JDM projector headlingts, Civic EG (i think) tails, and 4 inch pipe from the headers back some exhaust I got from a autoparts store. It sounded really good, not that high pitched shit, it had a nice deep sound to it.

see about twekaing the timing. after adding the plugs and wires you may be able to get a nice advance without to much detonation. i think its 10 degrees TDC but you may be able to get to 15. and yes CM owns them and they are based in kentucky. only factory of its kind to take in actual raw materials and produce cars. meaning they take in actual iron ore and smelt it into metal to build cars with... uncle just transferred back after opening the plant up. been back here in kansas city about 1-2 years. not real sure if its sold overseas though... have plastic door panels so no door dings. just pops back into place. kinda like a fiero in my opinion...look it up on google...!!!! mid 80's car with only 28 bolts holding complete body on...yes the complete body. as in totally plastic

Wo 28 bolt's talk about safety issues, I've seen them before though very nice car in my opinion. by the way can anyone see the picture of my intake and stuff I posted?

my wife has a 97 sc1. watch the oil closely. at about 100k miles it starts to disappear. not sure where it goes, to my knowledge no one does. she puts about 500 miles a week on the car and i end up putting a quart of oil in ever 2 weeks. just something to look out for.

haha nice try, you won;t get 25 to 30 horse with an exhaust and intake. id like to see that dyno

who knows, a good intake and exhaust combo may add more than you think

Every car makes a statement about its driver. For example, cars that get good mileage or any Korean car (Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo) pretty much make the statement "I never want to get laid again." Or they say that you are responsible with the environment yada yada yada. But I am going to go w/ the first one.

uuuuuum....wow....well...uuuuh.. it sure is a saturn............my advice man...just leave it alone, maybe the bigger wheels like the one dude said but dont go bigger than a 17, and if you want more power then really....good luck....i dont really know of too many places that make high performance saturn parts, i mean you would need a new intake manifold, pistons, valve train, cams, headers, and if you were really tryin to go fast then you would need some sort of forced induction, but honestly theres not too much you can do to make a saturn look any better....so good luck

if your happy with the saturn, more power to ya man. dont let haters get to ya

Actually on something as "Non-Performance" oriented as a Saturn, I would be surprised if it didnt pick up more than that with a cold air intake and less restrictive exhaust.Toyota, honda, etc. are somewhat performance oriented from the factory so these parts dont make as big of a difference, Saturn was supposed to be an economy car. Performance parts for it will make tremendous differences in hp levels.

i have wanted a saturn wagon for a while but i ended up gettin a roadmaster wagon but ill post some pics when i get it done what i would do is shave the door handles please dont put a wing on there and look for a lip kit of some sorts not one of thoughs big body kits but i know they make a few different things for it and than buy some 2 inch lowering springs and maybe if you can try and fit some 19 inch wheels maybe some black wheels with a chrome lip that might look good but with a car the sky is the limit bud
