Another Unsuspecting Victim! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I'm on my way to work tonight, just chillin. I come to a red light and stop. Next thing I know I've got this jackass next to me in a puke green Saturn. He's revvin' up on me and I just roll my eyes. I've been sitting at the light for a while now hearing the BS coming from his muffler and I'm getting annoyed. I wasn't gonna race, but now he's just pissing me off!

The light turns green, but I don't dump the clutch, I take off slowly, then gun it. Ahh, the horror in the guy's facial expression made it worth the while. No way did he expect to here the whistle of 5PSI let alone a second gear massacre from a Camry. Next time, domestic boy will be thinking twice I can gaurantee that!

I really hate it when they can't even admit their own defeat, rolling back by you at slightly higher than speed limit, rolling the window up as they pass, and not even looking at you face to face to acknowledge their retardedness. Oh well, life goes on!

nice, if it weren't for that snail he would have probably barely have gotten you though

similar engine and saturns weigh nothing

275 000kms, timing chain tensionner failed, chain was skipping on the sprokets, bent valves, broke rockers and valve stems

only a few more days till she's alive again

the new saturns are running the ecotech doch motor, puts out like 150 hp its a nice motor, however the older motors are ohv, they only put out like 110, which is simmilar in hp to our motors but the valvetrain is to heavy, and doesnt handle rpm well so pushing 200hp with them is a very big chalnge

Nice Smoke!

why i like saturns (when other people have them):
When your brother is driving your car and gets pulled over for speeding and shifts to the right lane without looking and a saturn goes into the shoulder and passes you and clips your right front fender. Now, if the guy's car wasn't a Saturn, there would have been real damage. There was just burn plastic/paint/whatever from the friction of the clipping but it came right off with rubbing compound. However, if this had been any other kind of car, there would be scratches galore and probably a dent.

have you called Rubbermaid's tech support yet? they should be able to help.

tomorrow she'll be up and running, looks like a nice cold day, but at least it won't rain

GM cars have been running Timming Chains for a while eh?

Toyota is new to the game........since GM highmilers have problems with the chains skipping should we be worried about toytas with chains?

threedom · 10-05-2003, 10:36 AM

Toyota isn't new to the game, my '82 Celica had a timing chain, never skipped. One of the best engines ever made BTW!!! I think it was called 22R.
