You know someone who says "They Know A Cheaper Guy" who will fix their car.
Well, i have been "THE CHEAPER GUY"
The mission of this channel is to educate people in the simplistic yet frusterating at times process of auto mechanics. Although I'm most experienced in Saturn as well as other GM products.

If you want advice on new cars, I'll tell you to go elsewhere. This page is for cars with soul and character. Manual cars! Loud card! Fast cars! Fun cars! So dont be afraid to comment and like those videos. It helps me out, and i really appreciate the few that do. Enjoy the journey, and i hope you learn something along the way.

Car show in the morning. Took the car out for a shakedown since it hasnt been started in almost a month. The Redline performed great today running errands and on the way home i wanted to do a couple 2nd and 3rd gear pulls. Enjoy the sounds of the straight piped 2.0 with that sweet sweet M62 supercharger. Got a full tank of corn and the twisty road ahead of me. LETS GO SATURN FAM!!!

Sound Deadening, Rust Removal, and a little touch of Bodywork along the way. Today I'm taking the time to work on the finer details. Things that will ultimately go unnoticed when the project is finished but will make all the difference when it comes to comfort and longivity of the car into the future.

GONE, IS THE DASHBOARD AND ANYTHING THAT MADE THIS CAR AN AUTOMATIC
Просмотров 8614 дней назад
Starting off we remove everything from the engine. Exhaust, Strut, Axles, Rack and Pinion all have to go! Then we move to the interior where we finish removing whats left of the dash area down to the firewall. All this in preperation for the Manual Conversion and aftermarket goodies. Who knows, not so stock parts may go back on. Already considering the Willwood Gas, Brake, and Clutch Pedals and...

Man those little redlines are awesome!
That they are! Getting really hard to find too.
You can purchase phosphoric acid from home depot for about eighteen dollars per gallon and put it in a garden sprayer, and it works as a rust converter prior to priming and painting
Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. Ill definetly give it a shot!
I miss the days of rivalry amount the Integra GSR, Civic Si, STR4, Redline, Cobalt SS and the Celica. Fun times.
Those were some of the best days in automotive history USA vs JAP import tuner culture. Need For Speed Underground 2. Fast and Furious. It was a truly remarkable time for sure!
@@Thecheaperguy I still have my GSR which I bought in 2002. I refuse to sell it. Hoping to get the new Integra Types S maybe by 2026. Just subbed. Keep them videos coming. 😎
Thanks for the support bro. Things slow down in winter but i plan to keep posting as often as i can.
@@Thecheaperguy yes, keep them videos coming. Looking forward to it.
Dry ice for around deadening. Sprinkle it on the floor. Wait for 30 seconds. Chip it out with a hammer and wedge/screwdriver. All that sticky stuff is brittle and just chips off leaving clean metal behind.
That would be helpful but i have no idea where to get dry ice around me. Plus the point of these videos is to do the build in a way that everyone can do it with minimal tools or specialty equipment. I went back with a flapper wheel on a drill and got the rest out. Wipe down with goo gone and its back to bare metal. Way less scratching and denting than using a hammer and chisel. I know it takes longer but the result was comparable in the end.
lol I love the music choice
😊 thanks
Thanks for the video! Very helpful! 🙂
My pleasure! Thats what I do it for! Glad I could help.
How do you get the front end high enough?
I used a sissor jack and some cinder blocks to hold it up. 3 cinderblocks are enough height to drop the engine and subframe onto a dolly and manipulate it out from under it.
I love how he touches his nuts, then when he whacks his hammer 😮 made me do a sex wee
Ha, not many videos online about how to removed a 2003 Saturn Ion dash? I bet. Good that you did it b/c you have a rare video compared to the many on Lambos and Jags. Good work. Looking forward to the project!
To my knowledge theres not much more than the basic maintance stuff thats posted. Im doing a full teardown and rebuild. It may take some time but i promise it will be worth it. Its comments like this that remind me why im doing this! Thank you brother. Thanks for watching!
Amazing stuff man!
Thanks buddy. Its been a lot of hard work and learning.
Some nice looking rides there.
Although you got it unlocked in 5 minutes, it was still a pain, like you said. I am a stickler for having a second and sometimes a third key. Looking forward to full swap.
I only got 1 key with the car. When its said and done, ill have the doors, trunk lid, and ignition cyl swapped over from my other car. I have 3 keys for it.
Put the nut back on and then hit it out, saves the threads if u wanna re use the driveshaft
I know. If you watched the full video you would see i explained that but im not reusing these axles as i have zzp axles ready to go in.
@@Thecheaperguy ah fairs, might go watch the full video
LOL
Thanks for showing engagement with my content. It helps the algorithm to show more people 😂
Not me being mentioned in the video lmao
If it happens in the yard, it gets filmed, lol #1 rule of youtube, film everything lol
Cool video! I'm in Northeast TN so not too far away. I just picked up a 2005 red one with 82k miles that is 100% stock. Maybe we could meet one day and geek out with our Saturns. 😂
I saw your post on fb after you bought yours. Pretty sure i commented on it with a shot of mine saying red ones are the fastest lol I bought mine in Sparta TN 4yrs ago. I live close to Huntington WV now so about 6hrs or so.
If i wasnt on e85 id be doing the dragon every year but the lack of fuel prevents me from making the trip.
Aaaaaaand now you can’t ride it anymore bc it’s been shut down
You dont say
Not really shut down. More like priced out of existence, just like every other good thing in the world currently.
Some really nice cars there,don’t know why they are dirt bags
The car club name that hosted the event is called "Dirtbag Car Club" They're really nice folks! One of my favorite shows of the year too.
I just picked up a bone stock 05 red with 82k yesterday. I already love it.
I wish mine had that few miles. Im sitting at 209k miles on my 05 redline.
Is Bella as Formidable as She Looks?...
Not sure what you mean? Shes 140lbs of Big Dog so im sure she could hold her own.
Oh I love her. 😊❤️
You could build a shop back there!
You the best bro 😢
Glad i could help ya out! Remember to upgrade the oil pump with a hardened gear if you can. These engines dont like the ratcheting motion the 2 step makes the oil pump gear do.
@@Thecheaperguy yeah ima get it soon just got a new exedy clutch ima do a full timing kit from that guy too I just bought this thing with 160k and it's pretty much ok except the intercooler pump being dead but that all good now
I got mine at 201,000mi. Im not sure if its had a timing update recently or ever. I know im playing with time but it does run very smooth and i dont drive it too hard, or often for that matter. I only drive it about 20 days a year to and from shows or on errands on a nice day.
@@Thecheaperguy is the oil pump not behind the timing cover if so sick
@chrisgriffin4097 i havent replaced that gear in mine so im not 100% but from what i know it is behind the timing cover. Seeing as the timing is directly tied to the oil system. It would make sense that its behind the cover.
Can you please make a short vid on where u hooked up the watt box too brother preciate u for being the only dude in 2024 with a ion on yt
Give me a few days to do it but to my knowledge it's only 5 wires and you do have to splice into the main harness. I dont really do shorts but ill post something up soon detailing the wire locations.
@@Thecheaperguy thank you and I don't mean like a short I meant like a short video doesn't have to be super drawn out just show the wire and how to find them preciate u boss
@chrisgriffin4097 all good brother. I'll look into filming it tomorrow. I should have done one at the time but that was right at the beginning of my youtube experience. So it just slipped under the project radar. Back then i took lots of pictures but didnt really make video content.
I will say that you should opt for the Hardened Oil Pump Gear from CatV Portworx if you are going to 2 step an LSJ. These engines have been known to grenade the stock oil pump gear so its definetly recomended.
@@Thecheaperguy ok ill be looking into that right now
Can confirm this sound is accurate haha

A P1G standing at the front of the car at the 30 second mark just itching to give out a reckless operation charge 😂
everyone has experienced family members suffer and die from cancers. its beyond thoughtful to add to the environmental toxins which sicken your own loved ones. Maybe you all are making the case against being entitled to freedom?
Thanks for commenting on my video. It helps the algorithm and gets viewed by more people. Thank you
Is this a legit Charger or a rebodied Crown Vic?
Its an actual charger with a massive big block and has been signed by just about the entire cast of DOH. It's as legit as legit gets!
Awesome video thanks brother 😎
Love the scenery! 🏔️
That is an unusual lashup!
I was on that train!
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚇🚋🛤🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚅🚄🚃🚂 they're one of his favorite things in the whole world 🌎! He finds the Rocky Mountaineer an interesting operation and thinks that the former Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad Tennessee Pass line between Dotsero and Parkdale should be restored and used again for both freight and passenger trains but he does not want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality!
The end of an era! New chapter … maybe a garden area lol
Hope everyone is well 🙏
Hail no😂 I hope everyone is good.
We survived!
Where?
Southern WV on The Pokey
Nice look at the BNSF on the point.
Sold my 07 SS with 250k miles 😢 miss it too much, got a 96 Vette its fun. But on the looks for an Ion or Balt again
Ahhh ❤ it's so good man
I miss my saturn
Wow that DOES sound good!
very nice!
-3°C aint shit we just had a week of -35°C up here in Canada
what a miserable existance
Yeah well this aint canada eh. This car never sees snow and still has summer blend e85 in it. Typically if its near freezing outside it wont even start or takes forever. I got lucky today.
Wish my Ion was a redline, then it'd be more fun!
Ain’t even cold
i’ve got an 04 redline, you think i’d be alright on e85? read some stuff about the fuel pump on 04s being iffy
Should be fine with 80# injectors. Stock fuel pump can handle the flow. If you co with the 1050x injectors from ZZP you may need a higher capacity pump
I was just thinking about how i don't see many saturns driving around anymore
Get ya one while theyre still dirt cheap. The last man standing game has already started. Id bet theres 1000 or less still in road worthy condition left thats plated and legal.
Salvage Ion sounding tough.
Salvage? It was clean and rust free when i got it. Just had some issues the previous owner created that needed fixed. Far from salvage though.
@@Thecheaperguy ahhhh I mis read savage. The car looks 👌 what kind of motor you got in there? I dont know much about saturns.
@@makisupaPIGman Salvage redline
@makisupaPIGman 2.0 Ecotec w/ the stock M62 Supercharger. 2.9 pulley, 80# injectors, ZZP CAI, 3in Straight Pipe Exhaust, Full Cooling System Upgrade (Dual pass, FMIC, High Flow IC Pump, Tuned on E85 and a pile of other small things i wont bore you with. Its no where near finished. Eventually ill go big with the 1320 TVS, Cams, Valves, Springs, and Weisco Pistons. The goal is 500hp with a supercharger. Bc the sound is orgasmic.
