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: |

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.
Recalled Saturn Ion facing separate federal safety probe
Fri, 21 Mar 2014General Motors may be staring down another recall campaign for one of its models already embroiled in its high-profile ignition recall. The 2003-2007 Saturn Ion is already among the 1.6-million vehicles being recalled for faulty ignition switches, and now new light is being shed on a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation over 2004-2007 models centering on a loss of power steering.
The government safety regulator has received 846 complaints about the problem and claims that GM has had 3,489 reports of failure. Of those cases, there have been 16 accidents and 2 injuries reported, according to Automotive News. While NHTSA has been conducting an investigation since September 2011, no recall has been issued yet.
The inquiry's length was brought to light by an organization called the National Legal and Policy Center that alleges GM and NHTSA have known about the problem but are delaying a recall. It has sent a letter to CEO Mary Barra asking "to recall Saturn Ions for the model years 2004 through 2007 without further delay." The letter in question is available in full on the group's website.
GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings.
