I decided to stay away from these two for a couple reasons, a. confucius say man who is milking unemployment should not buy more cars, b. i'm afraid i would just scrap them for the windshields for me, it would be nice to use the 78 as a daily and park the notch as a spare rally shell. Sam, yeah i be...

it infuriates me that europe got all the 5 doors and 2 doors. I love my 5 door 99 and would love to have another 5 door in the future.

I'll be purchasing a set for sure, the only question is when. At the moment I'm trying to scrape together enough cash (and permission from the girlfriend) to do the big white winter rally in BC. Good thing the old bushings are squished so tight they haven't fallen out yet, eh??

Well max, at least when you break down you can just call up one of your friends with their saab hatch backs and instead of a tow truck just put your mini in their trunk.

So do you autocross that thing?

the hole was about 3/32. very small. but he went sort of around with gyrating motions as he grinded his way in there. either he really knew what he was doing, or he had no idea and just was faking it. really i dont think glass is too scientific, but the thing is the enormous risk involved with exper...

i feel like i let the universe down by not competing, so 3 saabs could be out there. my fault for letting the maintenance of my car fall to the co driver this time.. Garth (red 96) got a DNF, i'm not sure what happened. I'd expect them to both be out at this same event next year. I believe garth als...

Well i had to withdrawl my entry the night before the race, my co-drivers tow rig broke down before he could even leave his house, and then the rally car broke down on him as he was trying to drive it 4 hours to the race. We're not sure what caused it but it got pretty hot and a hose split. So alrea...

just need a big lathe! any automotive machine shop has probably seen this kinda shit before and would just charge you more. I know that v4 flywheels have the same kind of thing. i imagine all the metal would come off the back (engine side). my concern is even with even metal removal, would it still ...

I used a glass professional :) he used a dremel tool to drill it. no shit, the li-ion one. and then he used a syringe and then shot it with those UV guns like the dentist has. he didn't charge me since he told me it wouldn't stop the crack but i told him i really wanted it done. I think i should go ...

Haha. Yeah, my car is slightly more rally-tastic with its new sticker after the successful broken windshield transplant: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_L-exL7PV_s8/StzkOzHbdVI/AAAAAAAAAOg/gkvz2h2j6aM/s640/1017091217.jpg the damage is only to the outer pane and doesn't bother me, as long as no John Q-laws sti...

3 saabs bitches!!!

Yeah I saw that story. Mine had a bit of a story too. This one was on craigs list for $150. I offered $100. He agreed and I paypaled the money and he sent me the title and keys in the mail.. but the mail got lost or stolen. So we agreed I would show up and take care of the Saab problem and he would ...

Is that a 12 cyl? or 16??

Wondering if that was ALSO an answer to my "what are your engine plans?" question..!

This is a really cool project!! Surely I could not fit my 6'8" frame in this thing with the main hoop where it is, but I can look :) I put mine several inches behind the b-pillar and I wish I would have gone more. I really like how you do little bends here and there to make everything accommoda...
