Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I have had my 97 SL1 for about 5 yrs now and have done a tone of work to it. I hope to be able to learn a few new things and share what I have done with you guys. It's great to have finally found a forum dedicated to the Saturn enthusiast. Now if I could just get my images uploaded to the gallery to share without getting some thumbnail error :/

Here is a picture of it for now untill I can get some images uploaded.

nice car man. what lowering springs do u have? does it sag in the back, or level?

Rob-D · 05-20-2008, 12:10 AM

Thanks. The springs are Sprint and the struts are Koni. The car sits dead level. Hopefully I can get my pics into the gallery soon to show the rest of the work done. I was getting an error about thumbnails when I tried last night. you can see it here though Saturn Project on my website.

I forgot to mention that 1 coil was removed from the front springs and 1-1/2 from the rear springs. The springs are a very stiff progressive rate with a urethane stopper added so when I do bottom on a harsh bump it isn't so bad.

nice pics. did u paint the bumpers? where is the line from the valve cover going to?

Rob-D · 05-21-2008, 01:16 AM

Thanks, I just left the bumpers the stock plastic grey. The gunmetal grey ENKEI rims match them almost perfect. I didn't want to have to re-paint them if I bumped someone or if I got bumped. They are just the skins and go on with just 5 bolts so I might get another pair to paint to match the car for the street. The intake line for the valve cover is in the engine compartment while the vent line goes to the breather in the lower bumper. I keep getting side tracked but will make up a list of parts and work done to it for my site soon. I just keep loosing focus since I have so many things going on right now. Next up will be a pair of Sparco EVO racing seats and the cage.

Well, still can't get images uploaded to the gallery so I thought I would resize one for my signature until I can get images uploaded.
