    Default The New Race Build......

    Here it is I brought her home today.
    My new car is a 1994 Saturn SC2 the funny thing is that it was converted to a SC1 front and rear because of weight and air intake on the front, it was a turbo build that never happened.
    I have the fenders and the nose for a 96 SC2. After running Russels Nissan and seeing Xian's Honda I have some great ideas. Hopefully she will be as nice as Lawtons SC2.
    Any input or help will be great...

    over at the corner of catalina and helen osteen there is an SC2 for sale for 1100.

    I was actually thinking about it as a nice little DD, then maybe go from there to auto x.
    I like the bigish 4 cyl, I've heard the handling is pretty decent...of course performance parts might be a harder find...but cant be more difficult than for my ITB suzuki swift

    Thats a decent price for a dd...they auto x the heck out of these cars.
    Parts there is Saturnmotorsports and SPS that still have some things left.
    Engine is easy to work on and pretty tuff too.
    Between Lawton and myself we could give ya the engine build setups...

    Andy my PM's are now on thanks.

    Lookin' good. I see you've already got it to IT legal ride height!

    BTW, out of curiousity, what's the advantage to this chassis over your other Saturn?

    The reason is the older one has a shorter wheelbase and is less weight, And lower air profile than my tub.
    I have always liked the older model better. I guess it would be crazier if I was building a Sedan?????lol

    I did not get the chance to help with the initial build with my car when it was prepped for SS. I did do all the ITA development wich was fun but I just want to one from the ground up.
    It's the only way to catch you guys!!!

    Gotcha. SWB should make it easier to setup to rotate a better. Lighter weight is also a great bonus!

    Yeah, starting from ground Zero is time consuming and costly but at least you get to do it exactly how you want. The catch is, that even when you do it how you want, there will still be some items you want to change when it's all over with
