Lmao... justin, its funny you talk about the diff pin.

A couple of years ago, when I had my contour, I raced a guy with a turbo sc2. He blew his diff pin while racing me, so undoubtedly I won.

We pulled over, talked a bit, exchanged phone nnumbers, he limped it home... the next day I helped him replace the whole trans, then he moved 2 hours away the next weekend.

Good Afternoon Everyone! The Sun is shining up here in the Dakota's but still not all that warm. Going to swing by a detail shop after work to see what it will cost to get my Monte all nicely detailed for summer. Hope everyone has a great rest of the day and evening.

i'm suprised he could even limp it home, mine wouldn't even move when it blew, luckily amy was on her way home coasted a goot 1/4 mile and it stopped in the driveway, i was outside and was standing there looking at her going wtf is she doing why did she stop 3/4 the way up the driveway, then i saw it was smoking, ran down there and saw the trans fluid, lol hopped in the mystake and pushed her the rest of the way up the driveway, i was oooober pissed since i had actually just fixed the motor 2 weeks befor,

i've read alot of fail with turbo saturns becuase of the design on the cams, actualy had a friend who built one, got it running, spiked 17psi then died he said it was really fast for like 3 blocks!

Back from the dentist. It was a long day, but we were unable to get everything dine. I still have to have the two teeth pulled in a few weeks. We ran out of the amount of Novocain they can give you in a day, so thats why we stopped.

Keith, pmed you back, 185 sounds like a good price. I have a 1 foot flat bed if you decide to tow it.
