why was it a huge mistake?

because now the SS TC is available. :confused

Ahh the Z24… beast!

As for seeing my car PJB, that car is mangled up beyond belief now behind my dad’s shop. You may have seen one of my past chassis though. My friend rolls around in a maroon one with projector headlights, white multi-spoke rims and a crappy ricer front bumper. I only took part in putting racing engine mounts, a tranny mount, ignition coil and ripped out all of the emissions shit in it. The ricer stuff is all him, haha.

my first car

17 or so

93 ? i think olds cutlass siera S << lol

white and had the same hubcaps, this isnt my car but its the same color year and trim and shit

whewwww it was a freebee it was my moms old car then i took it @ 187k drove it until it hit about 200k had it from november or december until july then bought a grand prix gtp then blew that up a month or so later

I LOVE GM CARS

no im kidding fuck gm 4 life :slight_smile:

This one actually looked good. Stock looking bumper with an intercooling showing. No rice shit and I dont think the wheels were white.
It looked like the one in your pics.

hey singh,

was that ciera the 3.3L?
my buick had the 3.3, and i beat the hell out of it, hit many things and totalled it like 3 times, still runs strong to this day, i think its got 174kmi, a good 50k of them were heavily beat on, haha. i love those 3.3s.

ya it was the 3.3 and yea it was a good motor pretty fuckin reliable and i beat it hard, but it was weak and didnt get great mileage IMO i beat the ub3r shit out of it just because i wanted it to die So i would get another car… i dont know how i saw any logic in that… because i would have to save money to get a nother car if it did die, they just dont come magically for free

Because I loved that car. And it was damn near mint. My parents bought it new and handed it over to me when I turned 16. Tons of memories with that thing. George knows… lol

Damn straight!!!

yeah the gas mileage did suck for a small v6 but it was real reliable. what kind of overheating probs you have, head gasket?

not sure didnt look into it, either head gasket or something with piping or rad not sure… cuz it only started to do it the same month i bought my gtp

My dad’s Ciera started overheating just before he sold it.
He ended up taking a few hundred off the asking price and the lady that was buying it still bought it and drove it for a while after and even fixed some of the rust.

His was a '94 with a 2.2 four banger.

the 3.1s really sucked for overheating, my dad had and my friend have 95’s and both have warped heads and bad head gaskets. my dads had like 115k on it and it died. pos 3.1s :idiots

3.1’s and 3.4’s usually die around 110-140k as far as head gaskets go

my first car was a dodge aries, k car… it was a mini tank… more shit got done to that car… :idiots

k cars lmao i knew a guy who drove one mad small

I saw that car yesterday at the corner of Sand Creek and Wolf Rd. The kid stared me down as I made my turn and went past him. :lol

The ol 3.3 was a great motor. Couldn’t kill em… It was the prequel to the 3.8 i believe which was another great motor. Anyway I used to see the old 3.3s when I was working in the dealer. GREAT motor, didn’t idle for shit, and vibrated and idle like a son of a bitch… not very smooth but you couldn’t kill em!

1995 Saturn SL1 5 speed

Got it when I was 17

Added a nice kenwood deck and some subs

I owned it for about 2 months before I sold it for 1200 bucks… With a possible bad head gasket, the buyer was fully aware

Same day the car was sold I bought my 95 Infiniti G20t
