Hopefully everybody is just taking advantage of the long days to work on super cool projects that they will be posting about any day now.

Been (un)lucky enough to be working 6 day weeks so not much free time but should have some go fast monies down the road...

...but did get some new rimz for the fake Saab, I didn't think we were allowed to post about them here o_O

And man was it overdue, the stock Viggen ones have been bent since oh probably mile 28, it's so much smoother now that I have these.

Got started on replacing the brake master on my 85 so I can drive that damn thing;

I can't see this being a good way to seal things up:

It being SAABRally.com I should probably have posted about the SAAB 900 Rally car we've been working on. After a a final 30 hour stint we got the new motor in the car Trionic 5.2 hooked up and moving under its own power.

We ran out of time to do any tuning, so I think we are going to switch over to Trionic 5.5 where I already have a 2.0L N/A tuned map. Dennis.... Mike should be talking to you soon!

Motor is a fully rebuilt 2L with shaved 2.1 head/intake, cams and custom ITB manifold. Transmission is a S&R 4-speed crashbox with big R&P

Who do I talk to to get a copy of the 2.0L N/A tune loaded onto the ECU's that I sent you Jordan?

Nice! I can't wait to see it pounding around the woods in a few weeks!

Big R&P as in the 7:34??

Not the big box R&P. The big one that fits in the standard box. 5.17 ratio or something like that.

Drew, We'll talk. :)

Ah, the 6:31 S&R R&P. It's fatter and necessary for use with the S&R gear set, otherwise 1st gear would be long enough to hit 70mph with the #4 primaries and you probably couldn't start from a stop without stalling a few times :P

The 7:34 R&P is "bigger" and also commands a "bigger" price tag. ;)
