offroading?

has anyone gone offroading in thier max? i found 1 thread a while back but no real info. i was wondering what upgrades whould be needed to make it safer for our cars to go offroading. also, what kinda damage could be done to the car without those upgrades?

thanks

if you really wanted to do that, i would suggest making some kind of skid plates, and tires with dirt grip.

uhhh, how serious off-roading do you mean?? I wouldn't suggest any type of "off-roading" in these cars, the chasis and suspension design isn't made for that and I doubt any upgrades would allow for that either. anyways if you want to go off roading, your best bet is to buy a jeep or a 4th gen

Rally sport style huh? Well with our low ground clearence you have a whole mess of stuff under the car thats going to be damaged, so I dont exactly think you have any options.

4th Gen on 20's would make a nice SUV though

yeah..I wouldnt offraod in my max cause its my baby...however, theres something about the plastic ploymer body of the saturn that makes offroading exquisite.

actually...my friend and I go in his Saturn...so its dent resistant..and we take that things EVERYWHERE....mud, mountains, "surfing" on country roads...its the "fun mobile"
