No offense... but I doubt you'll be able to do it yourself.

Is the flat black one a gsi dohc. My buddy had an old one that was done up for ice racing. Totally gutted, was like driving a go kart. Went not bad. Kinda fun for a car that was a POS.

Nope mine a 06 sans comp pack. Wasn't really a fan of the center mounted boost gauge. This is a psi gauge and if i do mount it it'll prolly be temp and shady cause it is most deff gonna be a inaccurate POS and i'm getting an interceptor next yr anyways.

Well, just took my car in for warranty work.....again. Two front shocks were toast (Brock you might remember from when we noticed when we swapped the tires) and my second gear solenoid is apparently gonzo as well. 3 days for the shocks and possibly 1-2 MONTHS for the solenoid! Hopefully this will fix my transmission issues i've been having.

P.S. I'm rocking an electric blue 4 door balt that makes me thankful i have such a nice car. Definately not diggin the plastic-feeling steering wheel, among other things.

Ya that car was fun for what it is. My buddy Brandon bought it as a joke. His new project is a dodge colt with a talon tsi drivetrain swap. Handed me my ass and then some. Mind you he dumps the clutch at 5g. The car is totally gutted and the boost is cranked to the max.

Saturn of Saskatoon had my car for 45 days AFTER THEY destroyed my transmission to replace it so you can expect it to take probably that long.

Dunno... but this whole place blew up this week. Lots of 'political threads'.
Guess which two mods locked them all up...
