My Sound!!!!!

These are my 2 12" MTX Audio Subs. I love them. i dont think i can go a day of driving without them. they make my car and everyone elses car around me shake. i also installed them myself. they are powered by a 400 watt MTX Audio Terminator amplifier. its not much but for my tiny car, it puts out a good punch.

ok now the interior







Now as for my modified interior, my car is aboslutley plastic all around which is bad but good in a way. i took out all the small pieces that i figured i could paint and did so. i think it looks pretty cool considering that ive never seen it done before. i also added a new aiwa dash radio and Pioneer speakers.

My first upgrade!!!


This would be my cold air intake. it costed about $75 and i installed it myself. it gives me an estimated 5 miles per gallon extra in fuel efficiency and as for horse power, a low 15 horses. But either way, it makes an awesome sound. I also replaced my stock spark pluge and installed bosh platinums. they burn hotter when the engine runst to make the car runn smoother cleaner and better all together. i still haev to replace my wires though.

Now to the stock engine


Here is the engine. i try to keep it as clean as possible and its actually staying pretty clean. but you will see some upgrades soon.

Stock Interior


So here is my stock interior. Cloth seats with auto windows/locks. automatic tranny and stock radio. lets just say there are many more updates to come.

My Car


So here is my car. It is a 2002 saturn sl1. its a new fun little toy for me to fool around with. I took the time to clean up the engine. the rims on the car are still stock but i took off the hubcaps, shined up the black rims and added some chrome air caps. other than that, so far its all stock.
