So i guess i should post what i am doing, why i am here.
93 saturn sheet metal intake, T4 turbo, 50# injectors, hacked ecu + safc2, progressive coilovers and rear sway bar. motegi track light 15-7 wheels.

i was setting up my 92 saturn as drag, but i was driving it home and a simi side swiped it.
I guess i am going to be in street modified because of the turbo, i am not looking for trophy wins here just figured i have all this stuff for my saturn i should have some fun with it.

So is there really a big difference in running 205's VS 225's? i can make 225 45 15's fit with minor work.

a 225 should fit no problem. Well its a wider contact patch, but I would focus more on the tire compound first & then the size.

Laguna Seca is my goal.Well, I'm confused... Is your goal to do HPDE or to SCCA race... They are completely different. If Laguna Seca is your goal - and you have no track experience - there are better tracks on which to start. Thunderhill & Buttowillow are good tracks for beginners because they are more forgiving. Start out there and work your way up to LS.

When are we going to see the car? Lemoore will have adequate track size for turbo cars. Any track days picked out yet? Are you keeping your help desk job?
