    Default 98 Saturn SL2, great DD

    I'm getting rid of my perfectly good DD for another project car. Not the smartest idea but I'm doing it anyways. I bought it here last year with a blown automatic tranny. I swapped it to a 5 speed and rebuilt the motor while everything was out. I used 1mm oversized Hypereutectic Moly coated pistons, shaved the head/block .030 total to raise compression, OEM Tri-Y stainless headers from a 92 DOHC, new timing chain, water pump, Centerforce clutch, Powerslot rotors, and a few other things. It was never a race car but since I had many of the parts laying around from previous cars I figured I'd give them a home. I later replaced the struts and the inner/outer tie rods. The motor has about 15K miles and the car has about 225K, had about 210K on it when I got it. The struts were done a few thousand miles ago and the tie rods were just done this week. It still gets nearly 30mpg hwy and about 24 city. I haven't driven it much except for longer trips since I ride my bike every day since its more fun and uses less gas. I'm asking $2400 obo for it but need to get it gone fairly soon.
