  • My 99 Saturn Build

    So since things are actually coming along, figured I would start a build thread. Started off as an all tan low mileage granny mobile, and has come a long way. Some stuff that I've done are full black interior swap, 3rd gen center console swap, rear disc brake swap, 17.5mm rear sway bar, beefed rear brackets, manual trans swap w/lsd, seam welded subframe, cai and header, and kyb struts with progress spring. Nothing fancy yet, but just picked up a set of Agility coilovers for a good price from a member on another forum. Just need to find some good 16" wheels to complete the setup. First picture is last summer with my old cheap wheels. Then some from the second trans swap and how it sits now until spring.

        Picked up some xxr 501's this past weekend that I'm working on getting the lips polished on. Not my first choice of wheel, at all, but they were local and a good deal. Threw them on today just to get an idea of where they will sit.

              Got the tires mounted and on today. Front coils are maxed out as of now.



              And of course, shredded plastic.

                            Glad you guys like it, front mudflaps came off, and this weekend I'll be going over the whole car buffing out all scratches and scuffs from the winter and maybe give it a good wax. Then I need to order my exhaust and headlights.

                              And not necessarily stancey, but I finally got around to tearing into my cluster and adding needles from a mk4. My goal was to rid it of the factory "theater lights" and make the needles illuminated. Took a few good hours but it turned out good I think.

                              And the finished product.
