Default i got a new saturn!

its a 93 sc2 it looks like it used to be the same color as my 95 but they painted it yellow super cheap. its mostly gonna be used for its parts right now but when im done with the old saturn this one will become my daily

so it needs a LOT of work! needs rear quarter panel, trunk lid, new seats, missing interior trim peices (this im not gonna wory about), needs new motor mounts, o2 sensor, maybe a wheel bearing, 2 wheel bolts (the 95 still needs one replaced haha), something with the brakes (might just need more fluid and a bleed), and new mortors for the flip up headlights, probably more it needs a LOT of work!

but it has!... sda full race port intake manifold, pacesetter 4-2-1 header, sps ported throttle body, aem SRI (was a cai but the lower half was messed up bad so now its a SRI), Fidenza 8lbs flywheel (stock is 18lbs), zoom stage 1 clutch with 2k miles on it, 2.25" exhaust already drilled for wideband with the loudest civic-esk muffler in the world, mds coils, some bad ass big ass radiator (i have no idea what its made for but its NOT made for a saturn), 3 mazda wheels and one steel wheel, its lowered but from the ride id be very surprised if its not just cut springs (its much lower then the 95 thats 1.5" lower), more im sure im forgetting something. also he showed me a timeslip where it ran a 9.1 in the 1/8th at lakeland.

so im gonna rebuild this engine and take the clutch and flywheel and put it in the 95, then probably sell the sda intake manifold and put a stock one on and DD this new car.

i paid 400 so with those parts i think i got a pretty good deal

that was actually their biggest "excuse" for not making saturns plastic any more. they said they couldn't get the tight lines on the body panels for some reason like they expand is different weather or something like that.

the real reason for making all saturns now steel is of course they make more money cuz everytime that plastic body panel flexed in and back out instead of denting in, that cost them another sale of a new panel

Are those tiedowns standard OEM from the factory, or were they aftermarket mods. If so, do you know of any place I can order them for my S?
