My car right now is pritty much stock, i didnt get many features with it but i did get the power moon roof, and remote gas and truck access with A/C . So far the only things that ive done to it is add a bigger throttle body from SPS

and a Ram Air Intake from AEM (RED).

It has a lot deeper note during acceleration and a quicker response to throttle changes.

I just put on my Saturn Tribal Vinyl, it was 11$ after shipping, made from 7-8 year indoor/outdoor vinyl.

Right now im purchasing everything so i can put my new Subs in, there two 450 Watt RMS AudioBahn Speakers, im getting the AudioBahn Amp to go along with them on monday and will be installing that weekend. Will post pictures then.

<<<<----May 14th, 2006---->>>>

Ive installed my Subs and an amp, but the amp is 4/3 channel. 120 RMS. So i plan on using that for the 4 surround speakers, and buying a 2 channel amp that pushes 450 RMS per channel for the subs, but its better sounding then it was so :).

I still have to carpet the trunk and hide the wires but at this point im to lazy and too busy with work.

I just got my catback exhaust system installed, along with my muffler. I still have to wear the muffler in and its still blowing some stuff out from the welds but i can feel the HP increase now that the muffler is like 2 inches wider.

So i wore it in yesterday and the sound is very nice. Very deep note, with out that High RPM rattle that honda civics make, i hate Honda's :)
im going to get it dyno tested soon so i can stop guessing what the horse power is at.

<<<<----July 13th, 2006---->>>>

So i decided this weekend that i wanted to start painting my car...why i dont know but i wanted to do some engine accenting and some interior stuff...

marcusolds's 2002 Saturn SL-Series



I want to do more accenting but im not sure what else i want to paint...i will eventually get some blue tubing put through out the engine.

The main part that I worked on was the interior, I ended up painting the vent grilles, cup holders, back door handles, the tinny oh Sh*t bars, and the face plate for the over head dash lights and the power sun roof controlls. On monday i decided to take the levers for leaning the seats back and paint those :).

I used this paint called Krylon Fusion, its supposed to be really good after two thin coats of that dried i used a clear coat on all the peaces. In a couple weeks ill take some close up pics to see how well it holds up :).

<<<<----July 17th, 2006---->>>>

So the paint is working out nicely some of the paint has chipped off on the cup holders which i expected, on the can is says it will take 7 days to be chip proof and that you can recoat before 24 hours or after 7 days, so im going to use some really fine grit sand paper...600 and sand down the areas where it chipped and do some small recoating :). Ill take some pics of the chips and the recoats and after that it shouldnt chip.

<<<<----July 30th, 2006---->>>>

So the paint for the interior is looking good...ive already got gunk at the bottom of the cup holder but i used a wet rag to wipe it out and the paint held...i even scrubed heavily just to see if the paint would hold or not and it didnt even feel like it would come off...just feels like plastic? The paint works excelently and i recomend anyone uses it...although i noticed that the paint on the seat reclining lever is comming off...its a harder surface then the other parts in the car, but it did chip and scratch off alot so im going to take them off and use some 800grit wet sand paper and try to repaint. its night time right now ill throw some pics on tommorow :).

<<<<----September 19th, 2006---->>>>

Ive upgraded my amp to a 1/2 channel audiobahn 800 watt amp, and ive bridged the two subs so there both getting about 400 watt RMS.

Ive also carpeted the trunk so it looks a whole lot nicer im going to be buying 4 surround speakers but im not sure what kind yet and plan on using my old amp to power those.
*pictures of the carpet soon*

Why the hell would you ever want to do all of this work to a saturn?? Thats a waste of time man. You would be better off with a pinto.
