Looks fantastic. How did the flares work out for you. Glad we didn't cut them up to send to you? Can't seem to get a larger image on photobucket. :dunno:

Congrads on finishing the project. It has been two years since we last spoke of progress.

Looks great from here! Are you going to be rallying it now? Have any larger sized images?

Time flys Dennis, heaps happened in that time including selling my business and moving to the beach 3 hrs north of brisbane. The flares worked out really well but on our first test a stick punctured one of the rears so some repair is needed but only minor. We ended with 102 hp at 5500 and 233ftlbs at 3100 falling to 200 at 5800. Good flat torque. As the engine only has a cam, extractors and ECU i am happy. Will build a better engine as time goes on. When i tried to enlarge the photos they went pixilated and were not clear. Will try to get some larger ones up soon. PS congrats on your new addition. say hello to Mel.

Good on yah for the next steps in your life. Maybe dealing with Saabs will not feel like such a chore.
Nice torque band. Would like to see pictures of the engine and EMS.

Thanks for the great thoughts on the girls. They are doing fantastic. Mel is even driving the 900t now, and the little one likes riding in it. So much cooler than the truck.

Hi rsp57

I was wondering what type of events you were planning to run your Saab in ?
Tarmac, gravel, circuit?

thanks
Neil

:-O
your 99 is how mine should look as a finished project!

Except with the steering on the other side ;)
