Re: Where Have All the First Gens Gone?
They're all over the place around here. My area has a fairly high concentration of hoopties, and first (and second!) gen. Saturns feature prominently and in high volume on the local low-rent dealer...

Re: Secondary air question
I'm not sure what I'm lookin' at, there. Where the heck did the original mounting studs go? Did homeboy just stick the wrong year exhaust manifold on that thing before you bought it, or what? That...

Re: Got rear-ended, car totaled
I hope you looted every nut, bolt, and screw from your totaled one that would be of value for your new one before you let them get their hooks on it...
How much do they want to salvage it back? It...

Re: Backlit Shift Knob
They sell battery powered ones in the riceboy aisle of your local auto parts place. I don't think jury-rigging one with some resistors to safely run at 12v would be too difficult -- at least after...

Re: tailpipe hanger rusted
You can get clamp-on "fix it" hangers that may or may not work for you. You can play with them at your local auto parts place and see if you can find one that looks as if it's the right shape. The...

Re: Post Up Your Wheel/Tire Setup!
My Altimaxes are a size shorter and a side wider than factory on the "aspect ratio" meter. That probably reduces my ground clearance 0.02% and changes my spedometer to match, but I have yet to have...

Re: Post Up Your Wheel/Tire Setup!
Finally, I found someone who shares my point of view.
Everything in my (extended) stable of vehicles is riding on steelies. When I got my SL2 it had aftermarket wheel covers on it and currently...

Re: plastic doors?
To be specific, all of the horizontal surfaces are metal. The vertical portion of the trunk lid is plastic as well. So, pretty much anywhere you'd want to stick a magnet you can't. On the plus side,...

Re: 2002 radio wiring
Insofar as I am aware, the stock radio I ripped out of mine (2002, single CD player) just just a straight up stereo that doesn't talk to anything else other than the speakers. To wit: I can power it...
