This car speaks for itself.
I built this car over the past few years and have used only quality,
brand name parts. I guarantee you will
never see another Saturn like it, and will be hard pressed to see this level of
detail in any car you might encounter. Exterior: I shaved the gas door and emblems. There is an RCI aluminum fuel cell in the
spare tire well with a Walbro 255 inline fuel pump. The front bumper is something I
fabricated. Not only will you not see
another like it, it does wonders for the look of the car and adds a lot of
airflow to the intercooler. I painted
the body using House of Kolor True Blue Pearl, except for the hood, headlight
doors, and roof - which are black. The
wheels are Enkei DM5s. The tires have very little wear. Two of the wheels have small bends due to
potholes, but they do not cause any leaks.
Also, there is a scuff on the passenger rear quarter panel/bumper area
where I got too close to the garage when backing it in. It is not noticeable until you get very close. There is also a very small knick in the front
bumper. As far as I know,
these are the only defects on the car. I
welcome anyone to come see the car in person, even with those small issues it
is a magnificent vehicle. Interior: The interior is black vinyl with blue cloth (similar color
to body). There are racing seats with
4-point harnesses, which utilize a custom harness bar. The bar is powder coated
a blue that is very similar to the body.
I also have four Autometer gauges: Fuel level, oil pressure, boost, EGT,
and an AEM wideband AFR; all custom mounted.
In addition, I replaced the factory carpet with a brand new black
carpet. There is also a true short-throw
shifter with an aluminum knob. The
shifter has reworked arms, not just “chopped” to make it shorter. There is also an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player. Engine: The engine was completely torn down, thoroughly cleaned,
then built using all brand new parts. I
used SCAT forged rods and .040” over Sealed Power pistons. The CR is about 8.8:1. The oil pump, water pump, timing kit,
bearings and seals are all new. The head
is ported and polished and I installed ARP head studs and stainless steel exhaust studs. The crankshaft was machined and
balanced. The intake manifold has been
re-worked and bored to 3” from the throttle body all the way to the plenum. I welded a new mounting plate to accommodate
a 3” GM throttle body. I used a Fel-Pro
silicone valve cover gasket and the valve cover has been powder coated blue to
match the paint. The ignition uses MSD
coil packs with Accel 8mm wires. The
fuel rail has been polished and accepts a SS braided line with AN
fittings. The TAM mount is custom made
and uses Energy Suspension poly bushings.
The dogbone mounts are also custom made out of T6061 aluminum and also
use the Energy poly bushings. I custom mounted
an aluminum half radiator with a 12” SPAL fan to clear the turbo setup. The battery location was moved and I installed
a small race battery. The transmission
has a welded differential pin so you don’t have to worry about it coming out
with the added power. Also, the
transmission is fully hand polished. The
pullies and brackets are also powder coated blue. All
new stainless bolts and hardware were used.
I promise you that the level of detail here is very, very rare. There are 55 miles on the new build. Turbo Setup: I used a 1/2 ” mild steel flange and fabricated an equal-length turbo manifold using Sch. 40 stainless steel.
The turbo flange and wastegate flange are also 1/2 ” and mild steel. The turbocharger is a Holset H1C. Apparently, there are two sizes of H1C
turbos; this is the larger one. I can
get numbers off of it if you need me to.
The wastegate is a 38mm Tial. The
downpipe and exhaust system are 3” stainless steel. I have a Flowmaster 70 Series muffler, which splits to
two, 2.5” outlets for a dual exhaust. I
have video clips of the exhaust if you would like to see how it sounds (amazing
sound, lots of turbo whistle). The
intercooler piping is all 2.5” and is powder coated gunmetal. I have a good size front mount intercooler
with 2.5” in/out. All oil and fuel lines are SS braided with AN fittings. I currently do not
have a spring in the wastegate as the car is running off of the factory computer, but I
do have several springs I will include.
I have installed a MegaSquirt stand-alone fuel system, but have not used
or tuned it. I have installed MOLEX
connectors that make changing between the factory computer and MegaSquirt
easy. All the extra sensors needed for
the MegaSquirt are also installed. The
car is fully drivable, but I would suggest not driving it until it has been
tuned using the MegaSquirt or a different system of your choosing. I’m sure I have left out something, I have simply done so
much to this car that it is hard to remember everything. The pictures speak for themselves; this
really is a remarkable car. If you have
any questions, I will do my best to answer them. If you would like to see the car in person,
please contact me. If the weather is accommodating,
we can take it around my neighborhood. I
will drive and we won’t go far, as I don’t have it plated or insured. The reserve is MUCH lower than the car is worth, I could easily get $5000 by parting it out and selling the car separately, but I don’t really have time for that, so the reserve is WELL under that. Again, if you have any questions or need more pictures, feel free to ask. On Mar-17-14 at 20:11:39 PDT, seller added the following information: |

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Saturn Astra XR 3-Door Hatchback
Sun, Mar 13 2022GM's Saturn brand spent the first part of the 2000s shifting over to vehicles on global corporate platforms, then spent the second half of the decade increasingly flailing for relevance as The General itself struggled to stay upright. By 2008, prospects for Saturn— and the American economy in general— didn't look so great, but that was the first model year for the Saturn-badged Opel Astra in North America. The announcement that the axe would be falling on Saturn came the following year, soon after GM declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and so 2009 became the final year for the Saturn Astra. Some MY2010 Saturns were sold (the Sky, Outlook, and Aura), but the Astra shares the dubious honor of the shortest Saturn sales run with the long-forgotten Saturn Relay minivan. For this reason, I keep my junkyard eye open for discarded Astras, and finally found this very clean '08 three-door in a Denver self-service yard last week. The Astra could be purchased with three doors or five, in two very similar trim levels. This car is the three-door, which was available only in semi-high-zoot XR trim. I'm not sure if the Opel Astra got these GM "Mark of Excellence" fender badges, but all American-market 2005-2009 GM vehicles have them (not counting stuff bearing the crypto-GM Suzuki badge). I've got dozens of these badges glued to my garage wall, because why not? Just one engine was available in the Saturn Astra: a 1.8-liter Ecotec four rated at 138 horsepower. The Ecotec has proven to be an unusually reliable engine, but I suspect that this one died in some expensive manner (because the rest of the car looks so nice) and that's why the car is here now. The base transmission in the Astra was a five-on-the-floor manual, and that's what this car has. The four-speed automatic cost an extra $1,325 on an $18,375 car (that's about $1,765 on a $24,475 car in 2022 dollars), so either the original purchaser of this car preferred three-pedal driving or was just a cheapskate. I haven't seen enough junkyard Astras to know if the manual transmission is very rare in these cars; the five-door I found a few years back had the automatic. Presumably, an American car shopper looking for the European-style driving experience of an Opel might prefer the manual. Built in Antwerp, Belgium! As this was just a rebadged Opel, the Astra did not have the standard GM radio faceplate found in everything from the Chevrolet Equinox to the Saab 9-3.
GM calling in 56k Saturn Aura sedans over shift cables
Thu, 08 May 2014General Motors may have made a few mistakes when it came to the whole ignition-switch debacle, and it will likely be dealing with the consequences for some time to come. But you have to hand it to Mary Barra and her team, because they're determined to clean house and avoid the same mistakes. That's why the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Detroit has been issuing recalls left, right and Renaissance Center. Aside from those vehicles fitted with the faulty ignition switches, GM has recalled over 50,000 Cadillac SRXs, another 50 heavy-duty pickups and some 51,000 full-size crossovers. There are bound to be more to come, and now it's issued another 50k-unit recall over faulty shift cables in the transmission.
The recall affects 2007 and 2008 Saturn Auras fitted with the four-speed automatic transmission manufactured between April 24, 2006, and October 31, 2007. The recall doesn't affect models equipped with the six-speed automatic, or for that matter any of the Aura's Epsilon platform-mates like the Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6, Opel Signum and Vectra, Saab 9-3 or - carrying over from Fiat's aborted partnership with GM - the Fiat Croma, although many of those models used the same 4T40 transmission employed in the Aura.
In the affected vehicles, the shift cable might fracture while in motion, preventing the transmission from shifting into Park or the ignition from switching off, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures could lead to the car rolling away. Hence the recall of 56,214 units in the United States, owners of which can expect to hear from their dealership in due course to have the necessary components replaced.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
