The motor blew in 2005 and the #3 piston had a hole burned through it the size of an egg.
I spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $8,000 rebuilding the engine and modifying it.
I love constantly working on my car as much as possible. I'm pushin somewhere in the neighborhood of 170 at the crank HP for now. Most modifications and upgrades have been done by yours truly. I just recently spent close to $3,000 on more performance parts.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RATE MY RIDE and write me your current opinion, CONSTANTLY UPGRADING ,I love my Saturn!
