Tyler is a great friend to have
There is something very therapeutic about watching Jake and Tyler wrench on the Saturn!
Or indeed anything else
Glad the Saturn is being repaired. Bumper could use a repaint. Hope the back is ok.
Told you @100percentjake

@@GrimesGarage Hi Tyler, I was agreeing with you all.
Absolutely love the S series Saturns. So easy and inexpensive to repair .
It’s been a relatively pleasant little beater to wrench on
This is one of my favourite projects of yours, along with your moped and electric minibike.
There is something magical about being able to bring a car from being one wheel in the scrapyard to being almost 100% mechanically sorted for less than a thousand bucks.
The idea of finding a second hand car that is legitimately 100% sorted mechanically for $1000 with fresh fluids, new bushings, ice cold air con, and tyres that are still round is laughable. But by picking up a turd filled rat chewed, peeling paint old Saturn for free fiddy you've made that happen.
My favorite was when Firestone told me I only needed pads until they found out I got pads for free (lifetime brake warranty) then they decided I needed rotors too since I had to pay for them...
That’s known as “The American Way”
Thumbs up for the cat appearance
The front suspension design is the definition of the MacPherson strut, that is to say the for and aft movement located through the lower arms via an anti roll bar. Pioneered by Ford UK in the 50s I think and extremely effective, economical to build and giving independent front suspension by simpler means than huge double A arms or similar. The ratchet straps took me back to my ford Sierra days but in reality it's easier to do it on the floor, start one side and use the steering to get the other side started. But you've done it now anyway haha
Pink Monster ftw!! Haha, I love wrentching on old beaters too. There's just something about giving a new lease on life to something that is still usable in this consumeristic world.
My dad was a brake expert, seriously and he said that anyone stating that rotors must always be replaced were scammers. In my life I've never had one out of spec....but I replace the brakes before metal on metal action happens. For reference, I have repaired many flat tires on my motorcycles and rode them for thousands of miles after doing so. LOL
I replace the rotors because it's cheap insurance. Also it takes longer to properly inspect and turn a rotor than it takes to replace it. Just on the labor time.
y'all must be in the south
if you live in the rust belt, please don't take this advice or you will most definitely get burned and have to replace rotors and pads AGAIN
@@stickit2theman1Yup, America's armpit for surface corrosion and rust. Thanks salt and snow!
@@gwick358 People like you are why we live in a throw-away, disposable society.
As a BMW owner, I too have a room full of rock auto boxes.
Johnny Carson's corvette was always breaking down on the freeway after the show. Guests were always commenting on seeing him at the side of the road.
Man, for a hot second I thought you were getting taken advantage of letting. Tyler drive the ZHP, but now I think that's pennies on the dollar for all the pro tech wrenching he does on the fleet. You guys are great on camera together
We’ve had a couple of Saturns they were a good car
New to the channel; this is awesome. Just watching two dudes figure it out as they go is great. I’ve got a 2000 Saturn SL with 246K miles that I bought, used, in 2002. Great freakin’ car!!! Head gasket failed at 235K miles and did so in the most elegant way possible; just dribbled a bit of coolant out the front. I fixed that along with replacing the timing chain, oil pump, chain tensioner and motor mount. Ready for another 23 years!! My wife hates the car, no power steering, stick shift and no power windows; I love how no-nonsense it is! Good job replacing the suspension components, mine could use those too!! Also, side tip, if you ever get a weird hi-idle, it very well may be the TPS. My TPS was lying to the computer and making the computer adjust the idle air control motor. TPS takes less than 5 min to swap out. Last thing, why do RockAuto boxes always look like they’ve been dropped off a cliff!?!? 😂 Cheers boys, thanks for letting us watch you work the mechanical magic!!
The first car I bought (yesterday) is a Saturn sl1 and it needs work. I’m actually excited to work on it now thanks to this vid
Ratchet straps…reminds me of words of wisdom from my High School auto shop teacher. When a newbie (and clueless) student was asked to get a ratchet, he said “what’s a ratchet?”. The teacher replied “It’s a little bit bigger than a mouse shit asshole!” Boy I miss that guy!
Jake’s editing on Tyler’s quips makes my day
These two guys make for great entertainment!
💯
I have a 93 Saturn. was parked when I bought a new vehicle. That was several vehicles ago! I have not started it in almost 10 yrs. Charged the battery today and It started up first crank. It idles better than my current vehicle. Just nuts. They are really well built cars in my opinion! Simple and economical but solidly built!
Really enjoy the Saturn Videos. Terrific little car. Seems well designed for what it is. And relatively reliable and easy to work on.
NUBALNC gets my vote
If you can find it locally, barkeeper's friend is a mildly abrasive cleanser than works wonders of beat up windows.
It is great to see a new video. Great work on the Saturn and the Corvette. Looking forward to the next video.
Look at your previous video to see where parts went. Great job on the Saturn.
New headliner for the inside would make it look real nice.
Downside is I think one of the windows comes out to get the headliner out in one piece
It is really great you two are taking the time to fix and restore the Saturn. I always liked these cars. It is coming along great. The Corvette reminds me of my 2002 Z28 Camaro I had.
most reliable car ive ever owned 99 saturn SL1. only car that has come close is 80 celica GT. that car was alot of fun. both 5 speed. Lakeshore drive made for that kind of car. vettes just too much an elephant. good video
I was a saturn tech for 18 years, good to see stuff like this. Also guys stole all my plug wires on a sl I was working on. I went to the bathroom, came back and went to go for a test drive. The car actually started up and ran, not well , but it ran with no wires. We were all surprised.
I've done that with 3800s before. Start them up, yank all the plug wires, they'll keep running on compression ignition.
Corvette license plate = "RCKAUTO" , no strings suggestion. Cool video! 😎
I'm 38, if you're 10 years either side of that number, than you've had a friend that drove a Saturn with 350k+ miles. Sure they had to add a quart of oil a week to it, but it got then around. When they got rid of it, it still ran and they got $500 bucks for it.
JORTS absolutely

Enjoyed the video, like always.
Idea for vette plate: BST CRVTT
More Tyler please.
Hi
I stream FLACs from my Plex server at home to my iPhone. Plex has clients for pretty much everything. Carplay to most of my vehicles, basic BT to my Minivan. Bonus, I can stream movies to my laptop, tablet or phone when I'm on the road.
Got to love it when things go as planned. 😃
22:02 when you go home at two with a ten and wake up at ten with a two
I use rock auto for parts, but they irritate me with the shipping costs. Have you found like four item's, and before you go to check out, they are all coming from warehouse c, but then you go to your cart, and they have the stuff coming from 2 or 3 different places? I usually have to change parts a couple time's to get them to ship from one place, even though they have all the parts in one warehouse. You can't call anyone either, you have to e-mail them, which is annoying, because i want to call them and ask why they are trying to rip me off on shipping, or more expensive parts to get them shipped from the same warehouse. Fed ex has definitely raised their rates. I have had a couple of those old saturns, and they were good cheap transportation, and i would have fixed this one up to if i were you. G-d bless y'all.
JORTVET Plates 😂
Great bunch of work completed 5 stars🎉🎉🎉
Channel needs to be renamed 50% Jake / 50% Tyler! 😂
Great work boys keep it up 👍🏻
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
Too many Tylers in Kansas
We are legion
Grimes!!! My favorite!! Does Tyler have his own channel? Love to know!
I think your Vette is my fav of your fleet now.
The Saturn sure has the egg yolk headlight styling
I actually hope you guys get that bumper painted, it would look great!
License plate NT1TLD (entitled)
Question: how do transmission shops separate lower ball joints without damage?
Ans: Without a pickle Rick fork.
The rest of the answer: with a big prybar and a hammer.
I’ve killed an expensive ABS module doing Tyler’s piston compression technique. Now I open the bleeder first. Besides, the fluid at the caliper is the most degraded.
NB JORTS
This. I like this
I think you nailed the plate with Boomerific.
Junkyard run to replace the remaining missing parts, and some wheel covers.
10:27 Mighty Car Mods reference?
Very cool video

OMG it's like some brother's from another mother lol. My tastes are slightly different, but i can so relate.
Great to see you getting that Saturn up to par, Jake. You and Tyler work well together. Tell Tyler that the brake trick will not work on everything. Some cars have pistons that rotate to retract. I'm wondering if that would work on the 4 piston Girling calipers in the old Volvo. If so, definitely easier than any other way. Next brake job I will find out. 4 piston front, 2 piston rear, all Girling. Not a floating caliper in sight.
Almost at the end and you are talking about being able to listen to music through the car stereo via Bluetooth. I still have the 1990 Clarion noise generator Volvo called a stereo head unit in 1990. I can listen to music from my phone no problem, using a Motorola Bluetooth unit that I bought about 2005. Phone to Bluetooth. Bluetooth transmitter sends signal to car stereo. Problem solved. Now I really do need up upgrade the stereo. Just touching 33 year old Bosch wiring scares the bejesus out of me! Wish I had a Tyler to do it!!
I have the piston tool for calipers that screw in. I’m aware of the difference. 😊
Yea I do pads without doing rotors, unless it’s just obvious the rotor is toast.
Oh I have also encountered red loctite on a swaybar. Really tightens the ride up I guess
I had a 92 SL2, that thing would warp rotors if you looked at it too hard. Always replaced the rotors.
If I’m ever down in the 316, remind me to bring you and Tyler cases of Monster.
was that an MCM reference? "Jack up uour car"!😂
So you may address this later in this video. Are you going to fix the paint that is chipping away on the front end. Or are you just going to find a new bumper that is the color that you need and not worry about painting it? Since you are excited about this car I figured it might be a good question to ask. I've always been extremely curious about Saturn’s but no very little about them.
121% Tyler is back
The numbers just keep going up
@@GrimesGaragefacts
Great video, why not go with BWMER for the Corvette. Its boomerific as requested and kinda also has a 'my other car is a BMW' nod
Need to Rustoleum Turbo can paint and clear to make it complete
For the vanity plate, MIDCRIS, as in mid life crisis.
Lol same head unit in my truck.
Corvette vanity plate?? It has to be DEPENDS. IYKYK
I have satrun it’s got a ticking area where the belt and pulleys are but idk if it’s pulley going out or. Not sounds like car is knocking but it’s coming from belt pulley area
jorts ftw!
Awesome to see a decent car come back from the brink...
The choices were legitimately either scrap yard or try to save it
@@GrimesGarage The minute y'all said the smell was gone, I knew there was a chance... 🙂
A Maaco paint job would be great for this old diamond in the rough.
Just do the prep work yourself before you bring it in. Had a friend who went in for the maaco paint job and didn't, it looked pretty bad. Had another that did all the prep work and brought it in, and it looked so much better. Same exact maaco.
I have a question about my 2004 BMW 325i.
The car goes into limp mode about a min or so after I start it, I turn it off and back on and can drive a little ways and then it goes into limp mode again.
Once I make it to the interstate and get to 6th gear it runs fine no issues at all, as soon as slow down it goes right into limp mode again.
I have changed the following, both vanos solenoids, the disa valve, the maf sensor, the intake pipe.
I have a creater elite launch scanner tool and it's saying my battery voltage is 12.8, is it suppose to be higher then that. I get a code for the tos sensor but iam not sure it's a sensor because of how good it drives on the interstate and iam thinking it could be the battery. Please help me if you know of anything I need to check. Iam at a lose here and I don't want to just be replacing any more parts for it not to be the problem.
i always at least turn the rotors
Now you can jump the Saturn
Your new plate: GO-NOSLO
I would like to start a petition to make this car’s official name, “the smooth criminal.” Think about it: It’ll idle smooth, and you may or may not look like someone with a minor criminal record in it….
A SUBSCRIBER HAS SPOKEN. NOW YOU HAVE TO.
It’s strange that Saturn went to all the effort or making it independent rear suspension but couldn’t be bothered to make separate front sway bars and strut rods?
Bet it rides a thousand times better now mine did when I did all the motor mounts, so quiet you can’t even tell it’s on 🤣
It’s shockingly smooth and quiet
You spent 500 to keep the GF safe. That's why
New balance
at 41:50 to bed in the brakes is not recommended that way. You do three cycle slowdowns not to stop. You must go easy.
What will you do when you have fixed all your things and you have a smooth running Jake Fleet? This is motivated level of GSD!
CARVETT
Oh dude, "jorts" all the way if it hasn't already been taken. Probably has, tho.
Also streaming music apps have _always_ sucked, MP3s for life. "hey let me pay someone constantly just to listen to my own music commercial free!" Eff that noise.
Nope, it’s still available
98% Jake. :P
40:16 @AutoAuctionRebuilds in the house?
No intention of fitting a Kabota diesel engine? 😂
plate = Newbz Go
License : PH-Q
Changed countless pads, not so many rotors. Most of them are not made of cheese.
My son got a Saturn Aura with your favorite engine in it, the 3800. He wants to get it running and as it was a chance to prove himself that he could get it going, goimg he would,not get. The car fought back and I could use your help, I'm having him watch the Lucerne videos since the engine is the same eight? Anything in the way, of,advice?
I never realized the aura had the 3800! What’s going on with it?
What was up with the Vette's AC? Was it just the blend door or something else?
Blend door and it has a slow leak
Corvette plate: lukadat… look at that
Jake, your Honda Insight status? Not Working????
Everything’s eventual
I replace rotors every time unless they're too expensive.
Rock auto is the best....
headlight would of been the last thing.. make sure it ran and works for a few weeks before u got them.. also a junk yard would of been cheaper for them......
Plot twist: the junkyard was the same price for one as a new set.
Time for another XJS?
The XJ-S is a very cool car!
OK Tyler where can I get a hat like that?
I got it from the planning committee for automobilia here in Wichita last year! I’ll have to ask if there’s any others available. Pretty sure standard issue co. Made them, they’re a local shop.
