Default What to do with that old Saturn

I am a new member. The first time that I worked on a Saturn was in 1992. It was a twin cam automatic. I was impressed. Here was a compact family car with a twin cam, 4 valves per cyl, hemispherical head, and port fuel injection. At the time I worked on heavy equipment and I also owned a home made Trike motorcycle made out of a volkswagen. As soon as I saw that Saturn I started making plans to use one of these for a trike. 23 yeas later it is finally done. It took 8 years (not full time) to get it built. I could make another one in 2 now. I would like to make the Saturn's as popular for modifications as the Volkswagen beetle have been.

Wicked, cool, original, and totally unexpected.

Welcome to the forum.

PLEASE, more PICTURES, esp the engine

Would be cool to start a new thread titled "199(x) Saturn S(x)2 Trike Motorcycle" or similar. Will be more visible to the search engines, and we try our best to keep tech questions out of the new member posts, so if you could start another thread in...ummm...Modifications (!?!) that would be appreciated.

Default Saturn drivetrains

I like it. They have stuff like that showing up at some of the better rat rod shows lately, but I don't think I've seen one using the Saturn Drive train. I knew I would find a use for some of the older complete cars that I still have in inventory.

Hey Howie, PM me your email address if you don't mind. I lost it in the move. Computer went nuts when I got a new ISP and I lost everything. Oh, BTW, it's me, Charlie, formerly in Tennessee. LOL
