I rebuilt the motor with hard to find parts for anykinda after market shit on a saturn.. wich if I woulda put the money i sank in that car I coulda had 2 badass civics runnin boost.. once i built the motor with a lightened knife edge crank, new rods, and sealed power pistons for 40'bore,decked the block, full port n' polish shaved head match ported to a full port n' polish intake with bigger throttle body, threw in a standard n' all the shit to go along with it.. wich was alot easier on that can since it bolted in as of to this teg wich is totally diffreent in the body betwen 5spd n' auto's.. the motor had enough power to sling gears out the bottom of the trani so I had to get another one.. shortened the shifter, 4 kove 12's in the trunk w/ a 2,400watt Kove amp, pioneer cd/mp3 player w/ 12 disc changer, just finished all the interior with crushed penea (looks like crushed velvet but alot eacier to work with) had a tv on the dash w/ a ps2 then got rid of the dash month tv n' got 2 visor 7" tv's, and cut out a spot in the dash and mounted a clear x-box with blue lights inside to match my other interior neons, shifter and pedals along with the groundglo, and lights under the hood you could see the motor through.. 4 years and right at 30 grand of all hard earned legally earned money went into that car.. Just right at 99% Completed.. gone, $22 grand in lawyer fees, $7,500 in bonding out, and $3000 in fines and court costs.. total loss of $62,500 for some bullshit guilty by association shit, and tryin to help a friend to stop shooting up coke, by trying to turn him on to a friend that needed some weed.. long story short, the person who paid for the dope was at home waiting on us to get baclk.. got pulled over.. ' i'm such a friend I said they didnt know it was in the car its mind.. let them go.. anyways.. heres all the pics I have.. and come on dude dont hate.. it was my 1st car I tried to go all out with.. and at the time I wasnt thinking bout weight n'shit.. i tried to go for alittle of everything.. Anyways, I appologize for gettin pissed earlier.. Sometimes it just rubbs me the wrong way when people talk to me like i'm 12 Knowing I've rebuilt atleast a dozen motors and a couple trani's and REALLY Tried HARD To Do whats best for my daughter when me and my babys mom split up, and over 4 years and saving extra money for my car instead of weed n'shit my life was thrown away.. I was in the airforce, had a computer store when i was 18, head tech at another b4 that. 2 years of college in electronics, realestate license.. I cant do shit with none of that now with felonies on my record.. And for the people that think this message is to long, fuckit dont read it.. its for eg6sir cause he asked, And I'm NOT tryin to brag on any of this shit.. Just letting you know I'm not full of shit and tried to do the right thing when my daughter was born and leave drugs alone.. just occasionally smoked.. but carma came around and bit me on the ass for my past.. bigtime.. The picture of the Blue car with extreme dimensions all across it is the bodykit i got thats there.. I fucked up the frotnt bumper right when i put it on.. But nothing aliittle fiberglass coundnt fix, made it stronger and made the lines alot better than when i got it also.. but thats buot what i was shooting for.. i was gonna sell my 17's for some 18's and rase it up an inch from the 4 inches i dropped it.. I ended up going back to all new factory struts cause the coilovers where shitty.. ate the bearings up top in the front struts when i turned the wheels.. and bumps put dents in the hood from the struts bottoming out.. |

And finally broke and desperate for another car because Cars are my passion.. with a grand in my pocket i bought a 91 integra LS 5spd with a fresh motor... got it tagged and a suburbad ran over the front end.. motor and trani un harmed but body twisted, i opicked up a shitty 92 LS with obd-1 but automatic and 225k miles on the car.. head was fried.. $100 for the car.. couldnt turn it down.. I took my motor trani system and all the interior out of the black one, threw the new head on this p.o.s. and rode with it .. hoping it would last till i finish building up this block but the bottom end in the grey one eigther isnt building enough oil pressure or has an ateup wrist pin cause it makes npoise.. sounds like valvetrain, but its not.. adjusted the valves to exatcly where they should be (.006-.007 int, .007-.008ext ) noise is still there.. but its super str8 cause I have a 91 CRX si coming down from kentucky got get this $650, runs, paint looks good even.. And i have 2 people ready to buy my teg for $1500, I'll have just enough to rebuild the bottom end with ctr pistons (Full gasket set and pistons w/ bearings on ebay store - automotive pro for under $300) He's throwing in a b16 head and the OBD-1 ECU and harness that came off the car the head came from.. Already bought my nephews 17" motegi's, And I had a friend with 17's on his CRX So I know they'll work.. Traded my 3 12's for 2 12's, actually weighs alot less.. Take out my jvc deck I bought when i got out also.. jbl components.. 4 eclipse 2 way 6 1/2's to work for now.. I'll be fuckin happy once I get all that together.. then I'kk be looking at a good Starting point again.. already got my LS Block on my stand and been sandblasting shit and cleaning shit in my vat.. Its not much to be excited about.. but look at it this way.. its all I can do so Rock what u got.. Theres PLENTY Of shit out there WAY Better than that.. to be better than me isnt setting any kinda goal atall really.. I'm fuckin broke..
In a months time I stripped all the interior out of both cars and put the best peices between the 2 into the grey one, Everything matches great, took everything outa the enginebay except the clutch cable, even got the shifter assembly and exaust under the car, brake system.. everything, a wrecked shell with a vin number left my house, threw the head and intake in the other car with all the interior and system.. I know 2 sonys and 1 mtx 10.. they're individually sealed and same wattage, plus having 1 dual voice coil sub and 2 singles i fooled the amp into thinking it was 4 subs so I could get the most power out of that amp.. Sold them and got the 2 pioneer's.. I think the 10's hit harder, and the box it to big for the 12's .. Anyways.. thats the bullshit I'm working with now.. .. it'll be a few years before i peice together all the expensive shit I have planned for a big boost build.. I'll build up a lil ls/v to hold me over in the CRX for now.. but the big boost builds a whole nother story and I think I already posted it up on another thread.. when brutal was arguing with me on one of the threads.. if you care to read it and give me any input on that.. it'l be bout 12 grand to build that motor.. Garrett gt37r-ho and all in that price.. GSR fully built eagle bottom end, ferrea valve train.. its all blueprinted now.. anyways.. ok.. To much fukin time went into this thread.. Sorry if I offended anyone pissed anyone off or whatever'z,, Just tired of trying to feed the hand that bites me all the time.. Last edited by kevins39564; 07-02-2008 at 03:25 AM. Reason: Opps |

Wow, all these posts happened in like 12 hours? I remember posting something about an R8, then I went to bed. Woke up - and bam! Epic thread.
I really hope what this kid is posting is a pure joke - because it's damn funny. And don't hate on Jeffie....he's basically 123453 times better at life than you will ever be. |

I was talkin bout jeffie on "The Ringer"... Johnny knocksville Movie.. Anyways I'm over it.. lol whole bunch of something over nothing.. thats what happens when men disagre about something and revert back to name calling n' stuff.. I aint got no problem addmitting I was outa line.. but whats done is done.. Like I said, sometimes some people just say the wrong things to people, And I was in that state of mind at the moment.. Noone likes to be punked down over something as simple as 1 inch... But its all good.. Shit happens... Thats life... And I'm sure bout Everyone in heres always gonna be better at life than me.. I have this thing where I dont think I'll be alive in 5 years all the time and its really starting to make it where I'll never have a life.. I dont deny that.. Supposed to be on Xanax, but BAD Shit happens when anyone takes xanax. So I deal with it.. |

Yeah dude, I saw your video's n' pics a good while back.. Forgot all bout seein that 350 till I checked out what they were talkin bout.. I didnt know that was you.. Yeah dude, its undeniable, you know what your talkin about.. and again my failure to research who i'm replying to bit me in da ass.. . What size rims r those and did you put any kinda drop on there?? your rims look like they fill the wheelwell alot better than the one I'm talking about.. theres a good 2 or 3" gap and it already has 20's.. thats why I was saying n the 1st place.. Your right bout that though. on yours if your rims were any biggre in the front you'd definatly be scrubbing.. 22's would work in the back, 20's in the front.. but i'm sure a slight drop alone would fill the space on this one.. props on the car though man.. Dunno how you managed to afford all that n'only 25yrs old.. I need your job lol.. . Dont drop that full coverage down, lol that would totally suck to loose that...

I aint even bout to break out reciepts. I know what I spent on it over da years. There was no competition on parts pricing like there is with hondas n such. There was literally only 2 sites to choose from. Shit wasnt cheap. 3 transmissions and fixing the body n frame 3 times ontop of that. It aint hard to figure it out

Nahh dude, there was a point for about a month i almost gave up on it.. but I couldnt help but see the potential left in it.. plus I got pretty damn atached to it.. you know how that can be.. it wasnt that old of a car and only had 50k miles on it.. It was fun at any rate.. Only thing I regret is letting people take advantage of me and screwing my shit up.. All that was left to be done was paint.. I even shaved the handles.. it was a good learning experience |

I got it in 2001/2002 and it was a 97 that was pulled behind some old folks RV.. thats how most the miles on it even got there.. and I got it for 3 Grand.. Had to jump on that.. It never woulda been much even after doing everything imaginable to it.. I've never seen a saturn with that kinda shit done to it.. I had a goal to be unique, but it just wasnt a car that shuold be done ... never again..

My car has 19 x 9.5" wheels on the rear and 19x8.5 on the front, the car is lowered. lowered to the point where in order to get it off the ground I have to run the front wheels up onto boards, then use 2 special dollies that lift the rear tires http://www.toolshop.com.au/Images/vp8370h12-1.jpg click for picture, those suckers were like 125 a pop =( once the rear is off the ground I have to use my jacks to lift the car from the rear end, once the rear is up I can mount jack stands under the rear control arms where they meet the frame. Then I can jack the front of the car up using the normal jack points then put jack stands up front. fun times for calibrating the O2 sensor and oil changes. For the record my car sits around 2.5" off the ground. as far as my job goes I work at a pizza place. also have lived on my own for going on 4? years. no roommates just myself... well now I support my gf so the both of us. |
