everything begins june 17 2004... went to Saturn dealer
and tried this car

the white one...
vti "cvt" (auto)
i kept it stock "a rental"
loved the way the car handles and it accelerate so smoothly
............
so 2 years later i went for a standard 5-speed tranny
and a red one
both cars side by side on june 8th 2006

then the 9th of june i took possession of the newly fresh baby had 394 miles on the odometer...
1st mod in the week... painted engine cover to match the car

about a year later installed some lowering springs (from a canadian company) Canuck Motorsports
1.6" all around... stiffer but handles way better

to see diff in drop mine is the lowest one lol

thena new sets of shoes.. Konig wheels 17x7" wrapped in Nankang & hankook tires 215/45r17

a bit later got her some blackhousing headlight

early this year
a "new" oem mp3 stereo to replace mine
(new one installed) costed about 1/4 of the retail price

some fog light

and painted trunk lid

then there was still somthing missin about the handling... couldn,t even turn a corner over 60 mph... wtf?
so a rear sway bar helped alot

got headlight/taillight tinted "night shaded"

same time got rid of charcoal/red duo on trunk lid so all black 🙂

((fresly tinted head))

painted brakes

then wrapped the black plastic trim on carbon vynil

got a deal on a redline shock/strut (and some body parts)
traded a cell phone for all these parts
all 4 roof rails, left front and rear body
front strut+ springs and rear shock

painted the shock silver and red

roof rail black and freshly installed on the car

and changed the stereo bezel "painted"

finally last mod this october
a friend made this strut bar

the 60 mph corner i can now take them at 80 safely :p
and i still love my car.. next should be 2.0 supercharger or turbokit from the "new" 2.0
once warranty is dead lol so in 15000 miles
perfect handling for a 145hp car
and wheel spacers are coming too soon
