I don’t think anyone has taken Bill up on his offer yet.

Thanks John,
I have no plans for losing my job at this time.

I'm sure that if multiple trips were required, Bill wouldn't mind. Yeah Drew, most of them are currently stacked 6 to a pallet (chains facing out) and 3 or 4 pallets high. If I lost my job tomorrow, I'd teach myself to rebuild C900 gearboxes the day after tomorrow and then flood the market with chea...

Bill Jacobson of Sports Car Service (in Wilmington, DE) is trying to clean up his shop. He says to me "Stefan, you're an internet guy" and asks if I would be willing to put it "out there" that he would let all his C900 transmissions and used parts go for 50 cents/lb. He can get 3...

These guys are pretty funny too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATBB2z7qhbw It's what I imagine it's like when Brian McNamara codrives :P Nice and tighty, nice and tighty. "This is some kangaroo!" haha "jessas kryst!" "you feckin' idjiot!" And night and day, at least t...

The car is set up for vintage road racing. It meets all the specs outlined for the VRG ( http://www.vrgonline.org/rules/ ) and (with a specific age allowance) the VSCCA. One of the oddities of vintage racing is that in many cases they actually dis-allow extensive safety modifications, specifically f...

I've always liked putting the camera on my helmet. I feel like it gives a better sense of what's going on with me in the driver's seat. The "speed sense" that this video gives is helped by the narrowness of the road and how close the trees are. I agree, the engine noise is a huge factor. M...

I've got a JDSquared Model 3 and am very happy with it. My only problem isn't really a fault of the bender... I don't have enough room in my garage to use it and house the car at the same time. Swinging a 10' piece of tubing around a pivot point requires a somewhat "central" mounting locat...

Very cool Stefan! A co-worker's aunt used to own a yellow Sonett II with the roof chopped off that they Autocrossed, hers was a 2-stroke at the time the sold it though, sometime in the late '70's. Maybe the same car? History on yours? Thanks! Not the same car. Dad built this one in the early 80's (...

Really enjoyed your footage. That was quite fun to watch. I liked the long relatively straight run near the end of the climb. It looked like the throttle was pegged to the floor! Nicely done Stefan. Thanks! The throttle is always pegged. :thumbsup: That long section is where I lose time to the big ...

Hi folks, Its been a while since I posted anything, but I figure this is a good way to start up again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7alBUcKR3Ew&feature=share&list=UUxgDJ6G9judGZlwbz2C1yjA This is my final run at the Mt. Equinox hillclimb last Sunday. It was good enough for FTD. Mt Equinox ...

Bill at Sports Car Service (Wilmington, DE) bought a pile of Chip Lamb's old stock now that he's out of the game. Also, he used to service V4's back in the day, so he sometimes has stuff leftover from back when. 302-764-SAAB Over in Sweden, Niklas Enander has his XP-Tuning brand. He specialized in t...

I realize I'm digging up a very old post, and I haven't been active here for moons but... Were these gearsets ever manufactured? I have an old Special 1 set installed in our Sonett, and love it to death. It's the best upgrade we've ever installed. I've got a spreadsheet on my website that calculates...

Luke, You have my sympathies. It always feels like a personal affront this happens to a car that has, through it and its (various) owners' qualities, managed to survive longer than most folks on this list have had their licenses. Especially when the other car is a new vehicle that adds nothing of va...

How much for the T5 bits?
Injectors, MAP sensor, DI Cassette?
Maybe the harness?
No need for ECU or crank trigger.

Hi John,
As I still have other cars with DI, I should probably hold onto the cassette...
But make me an offer on the other stuff. I'm sure we can work something out.
