One bolt strut towers, because race car.

 

I had seen Ion Redline before and I see 2 is up forsale at dealer's lots. They want it for $9k for either those 2 colors. 1 in blue and 1 in black, I just don't understand why they want it for that much. I know this car is a rare car, I think this car is lighter than our Cobalt. Right ?

 

^^^yes lighter. But also not as stiff; the structure suffers with the funny little side access doors. Neat and useful feature, horrible for torsional stiffness.

 

I'm on pins and needles waiting for my custom powel race shop creation, cant wait! haha!

 

same here. but i can't rush him he's doing me a huge favor lol

 

why would you rush perfection?

 

techincally 4 if you really wanna get down to it.

 

filter in, and its now a matter of days and you can come in for a test fitting.... stay in touch.

 

mounts are done but I am suddenly not satisfied until I check one more thing tomorrow. then out they go

 

lol I'm not in a rush, I'm just excited

 

Never understood who signed off on the dash being in the middle. When I bought my car the dealer had a redline and my ss on the lot. Drove the redline first and loved it but couldn't get past that dash.

 

its a weird world. Saturn was a great concept/ ended with a gay CEO at the helm who was somehow linked to the marketing v-p , if I have that right.

not that being gay is right or wrong, its just

weird.

Redline was a great concept. Started with the Vue redline which came out with a Honda v6. No sooner did they produce that with redline badging and distinctive grille and body mouldings, than Saturn proliferated the engine into the regular line.

so why Redline?

Someone posted they sold maybe 1400 Redline Ions in 2007, the last year for the car.

If you have ever driven the Astra, the replacement, its a POS.
with a stupid signal and wiper stalk operation that is far from intuitive and a practically useless digital readout conventionally located IP.

weird.

Then there is the whole Sky deal

useless sports car with no room for anything, way more attractive than the solstice

and the Aura the last new Saturn was a kickass car on the new Epsilon platform just a brilliant car that went no where

weird

 

John, Do you sell shifter linkage pin ? I think my shifter linkage pin broke. I got short shifter then upgrade LSJ to LNF shifter bracket. It's still feel like sloppy and loose.

 

we have a finite supply of hardened racing roll pins. I run an LNF shifter housing, our own alloy and stainless housing bushing kit, the LNF cable bracket. Its really good.

email if you want the pins....

 

Anything more on my stuff John?

 

Great thread. Subd

 

 

^Best use of that meme yet.

 

I have a drum brake twisting beam here, would you need me to do a strip and conversion rebuild photostory for you?

 

lolwut? I'm talking about my motor mounts, my rear brakes are already on. lol

 

orly? excellent.

 

John, did you ever get those sway bar endlinks back in stock?

 

what needed to be checked?

 

John,

How are those under car rails on cars lowered more than your spring(I'm on bc coils).

I can get my jack under my sub frame but only in the middle of the car..

 

work fine with a typical floor jack with the rotating cup removed. the jack point slots into the cup pin hole in the jack.
what i found.
