Well I have the following

Chassis bracing (adj. andti-sway bars and strut braces)
Improved brake rotors
Improved brake pads
Braided brake lines
High rate springs and struts
Cold air intake (mostly for its freer flow not for the cold air aspect)
larger freer flowing throttle body
new high pressure fuel pressure regulator
low loss wires and premium plugs
short shifter with big grippy leather knob
The worlds smallest dual band full power mobile ham radio

Then of course theres the future plans

Recalibrated computer (custom since there is no chip available)
Coil over conversion kit
Larger and more agressive brake kit
Wider 17" wheels with 40 series tires
Moderate head work and porting
ported polished and extrude honed intake manifold
centerforce clutch
special reinfoced motor mounts and stiffeners
Header
High flow cat
High low exhaust
Potentially a supercharger if the companies that keep promising them
eventualy do it
new all black paint job with restyled ground effects

All of these are contingent on the Saturn becoming my "play" car later this
year when I buy a new car. I'm leaning towards either an AUDI S4 or a BMW
330xi coupe

So, what does one have to do to get into that?  What mods were done to
your Saturn anyway?
