lol hey guys, i'm formly a saturn owner / modifier.
I had a 2004 Saturn ION-1 sedan which I turbocharged, there's youtube videos of the vehicle of it running and when i popped a piston lol.
Well after spending too much time and money on the damn ION i finally broke down and wanted to buy a better car.
So I went to my saturn dealership and saw this.
I wanted to test drive it and holy crap I was impressed, the car handled like a dream and it took off pretty quick, I was definately in love.
So I purchased the vehicle for $16,995 and it only has 30k miles on it. I just need wait for the registration to go through before i can take delievery.
For modifications since i'm not 100% on the tuning options for the vehicle (i dont want to play with piggybacks, i'd rather have some kind of ecu modifier like HP tuners (GM / Ford) or something. I just don't want to do the whole standalone route unless i really have to) But i'm just going to be basic for now (smaller pulley, colder plugs, better i/c, intake, header, catback)
I know my stuff for car modifications and engine building since i have built a forged engine for my ion but sold it, so right now it has a stock engine in there with the turbo.
Here's an image of the turbo ion
That's when I was trying to get the car to run on Megasquirt II, but it ran like crap so i just put in the 034 Extra Injector Controller and called it a day, it only put down 210whp and 230wtq :( and i never got a video of that day :(.
But the other reason i got the Mini Cooper S was because I just recently defeated cancer and wanted to treat myself for the hell i went through for the past 5 months .
So i guess i'm not your average newbie? lol
