NEW CAR (new to me car that is)
Well, as those of you who read the board know, i've sold my CRX, but i just bought a '95 Saturn SW2 wagon. I know, I know.... MAJOR step down in performace, but it's hard to fit 2 adults, a car seat, a stoller, and a diaper bag or three into a CRX. Nice think is, I've got about $300 left from the sale of my rex to buy some upgrades for the Saturn. *WOO HOO*!! Underbody neons and glowing seat covers here i come!!! (yes, i am SO kidding!)

Never fear I can set you up with everything you need to turbo your Saturn, manifold, turbo, downpipe, intercooler and piping, all of it. I did Saturn turbo kits for a year or so before I realized all the Saturn owners were all talk and no money. The Saturn 1.9 is a good motor that responds well to turboing. If you are interested Email or MP me and I will work something out with you on price, or if you think it's just to ridiculous just ignore me, im use to it.

Re:NEW CAR (new to me car that is)
turboing would be great, but since i'm gunning for STX in SCCA, it's kinda outa the question. but i really do appriciate the offer. i'll keep you in mind if i decide to go that route though.
btw, anyone from chicago in here? the cars at a dealer ship on La Fox St, just tryign to figure out if mapquest gave me the best way to get there.

The saturn should do well in autocross, the chaises are very ridgid due to the fact that all the body panels are plastic and give no support to the vehicle. Get a good set of sticky tires and you should do great.
I love autocross, I did it for a couple of years before I started my business but now I am too busy to go out and play.
