to me....

'94 saturn twincam, it has a rod knock and a trans thats on its way... got it for $400. It only has 77k miles on it:wow and i will have to say its the cleanest saturn i've seen in a real long time! None of the typical rust in the rear doors or on the cradle. interior is mint along with the exterior. only thing thing exterior it needs is a driver side front fender which i already got for $25!

no i'm not thrown a v8 in it or anything but i am converting it to a 5speed and i put together a mildly built n/a motor to go in it. prolly dive it for the summer and then make a turbo kit for it eventually!:headbang

oh and i didnt even make a new thread when i got this truck but this is my new tow rig! '98 cummings 24v with a few bolts ons and such:shades

and yes i now own 3 saturns!:goof

starting in 2nd on a diesel don't hurt it, its not like you have to slip it to get it to go, that diesel has enough torque and compression to get itself moving without you even having to hit the gas while letting the clutch out.

yea... but its a lot of stress on the clutch! you could burn the tires off one starting in 4th gear if you wanted to!

bling bling! well i changed the fuel filter and tryed a few different settings on it and still shitty.... pretty sure i need and inj. pump. when towing that car trailer, i swear my g-pa's tundra felt like it had way more power:crying


so i am going to check fuel pressure and the other few things on it tomorrow or so and figure out whats going on.
