    Are Saturns noticeably lighter than similarly sized and equipped cars? I would think so. This means the new Satrun Sky may be lighter than its Pontiac cousin.

    Nah, just a S. Non-turbo. Screw doing a heather core in that 9000. They are a big pain in the ass (luckily the 900 core isn't too bad). I already had to replace the serpentine belt idler pulleys, the radiator fan (bc of the resistor), the thermostat, hood emblem, the center and rear mufflers, replaced both 02 sensors, and I re-soldered the ecu wires (jest as a precaution). Most of those and other parts were donated or extras sitting around so its all good. Hopefully the heater core will be it for a little while. I'm glad theres no DI cassette but I'm waiting for the clutch cable to snap! Fukken eurotrash lol.

    hahaha you mean GM Trash! yea luckily you dont have that di cassette the black ones are so nitorous of being faulty. i feel your pain. And REally the over price GM parts for that car. good lord! At least it is NA i beat my 9000 to the ground and autocross it once in a while and still runs with that much miles! I had to rebuild the head cuz the exhaust valve melted because of carbon deposits. install a new timing chaing crank sprocket and guides. i dismanted the whole engine to reseal the timing cover, oil pan and oil pump housing. i still have few things like a trunk latch broken and the EDU not functioning. Other than that its a beater!
