Project GSRT a.k.a. Sattie

Project GSRT is a 2000 Saturn SL1, with an automatic tranny and 1.9L engine. Here you will see the progress from start to if I ever get finished. Along the way, I will be including some How 2's, which can be found on the How 2's page, so that you can do some of the things I have done, to your ride.

What's New in September?

Goodness, I haven't done as much as I would have liked to do with Sattie. I think it's because I've been focusing on the business end so much that I haven't done some of the extra things I wanted to do. Actually, I still have time. It's not like it's going to get bitter cold this month, or next month for that matter. The one thing I won't like is that it's going to get darker sooner...that's already started. Last month it would get dark around 8:30, not it's more like 7:30. But that's still okay too. I'm not gonna put all my tools away and start hibernating. All I really have to do is get started a little earlier. No big deal right? Right. Maybe. Anyways, I'd still ike to grab that big bore throttle body from Street Design Auto. That's a quick mod that just requires about 5 minutes off and 5 minutes on. It'll give a little more air to the engine so that's always a good thing. That coupled with the AEM Short Ram (I know, Cold is better but I haven't figured out how to add it to the auto) will help with a quicker lower end. Hey, I need all the extra little ponies I can get! I still want to get my exhaust system set up and installed and qill probably get the CAT replaced as well. Street Design Auto has a High-Flow one that will go in nicely. I did change the braking system up a little bit. I put on a set of EBC slotted/dimpled rotos up front along with the Greenstuff pads. And yes, the drums are still in the back and Iwill probably keep it that way. I'm still trying to keep a good looking single cam, with a clean engine bay (along with a few goodies) and a modified interior and exterior that has been thought out. It's easy for me to go the route of everyone else, but why...that's the purpose of having a project car...to do what I want to do...not follow the pack. With this car, I'm going to focus on doing things differently and keeping a good look. More than likely, my next project car will be another Saturn BUT it will already have the engine and braking system to start with. But no rush with that either. I'm having fun with my single cam and will continue to. Okay, enough of all the explaining! Back to what I'm working on with Sattie. I'm sure you fave realized that I have NOT put on the bodykit yet? There's STILL a reason for that...maybe I've decided to do something else. Actually, I have, but you'll have to see what it is. I think it will look even better than the bodykit, HA! No more talking, just wait and see!
