ew. i hate poor people.
my point of hating on your choice of saturns is as follows:
It’s FWD. FWD sucks real bad. I’d prefer to drive a fucking camaro than any FWD car.
Someone bitched that there was hardly any aftermarket support… You’re setting a double standard here, because you want something that no one else mods, yet you want companies to make alot of stuff for it? Well, I can tell you from experience that modding a motor with no aftermarket support (in this country at least) sucks real hard. My motor even had a huge precedent that i could follow, but you’re kind of taking a stab in the dark here… if you’re going to be a pioneer, shit WILL break. “not everyone has alot of money for their cars”… EXACTLY why you should not be trying to build a fast car on an obscure platform…
I was knocking your choice of parts because it seems like you’re planning on staying NA, but the parts that you’re buying seem like they would be at home in a high compression race motor, yet no slugs or rods? How the hell are you planning on making 350HP? It’s possible i missed something here. Also, you listed one current aftermarket brand of plug wire, then said you were planning on changing them out to a different aftermarket brand? Sounds like a real ricery thing to do… maybe there is more reason… maybe you just need them to run that MSD ignition…
I know you want to be different, but it’s tough to be different on a budget. If you really want to make your saturn go fast, pull it with a turbo honda setup… (or better yet, push it ) If anyone on here understands odd projects, it would probably be me… (someday i will build a rear engined turbo nissan v6 powered geo metro)
This is just my opinion, of course. I admire people who try to do something different, but i also hate to see people, myself DEFINITELY included, throw their money away…
are u refering the greatest motor evar known as the vq30 in ur #2 …cause even being in the top 10 motors of all time it took the 350z a good platform for companies to start making quality parts for the VQ motors…unfortunately its different enough to not be compatable with my version of the VQ…i also get asked y i mods my car…i just say cause i want too…but i am also not trying to build teh ultimate car either…i still hate Saturns though…Happy Motoring
