In reply to 03Panther :
Why would I send you a check when I've been paying unemployment insurance and taxes for two-ish decades? Its my money, and I want it now!
In reply to Mr_Asa :
Because you're obviously living off welfare, DUH!
In reply to Mr_Asa :
Good one!
And sorry bout the debbie downer thing... Ill try harder.
Back to the important challenge plans.
I plan to make this
Faster than this
Swmbo wants to field a two car team next year.
WHo wants a Saab?

Looks like a challenge candidate.
In reply to bentwrench :
That could be fun
That's 2 stroke, if I'm not mistaken?

You keep posting pictures of my old cars
In reply to Patrick (Forum Supporter) :
Clearly we suffer from the same afflictions (or dilusions, depending who you ask).

I feel like half this forum could post pics of your old cars.
Maybe a running TR7. *MAYBE*
I'm continuing to make slow progress, but a long road ahead & getting powertrain sorted after completion... I will not have time (or not much)
We had some wild plans for this car for the 2020 Challenge but all that got stalled mainly due to Covid. So we have decided on a Phase 1 $1000 build for 2021 while we work out the wild build on paper for 2022
In reply to davbro :
I have a 2003 9-3 that I am using for just the engine and a few misc bits here and there. If you need any parts that I might have them.
In reply to Somebeach (Forum Supporter) :
I may need a bonnet if i ruin this one
In reply to davbro : I still have the hood if that is what you mean by bonnet?
In reply to Somebeach (Forum Supporter) :
Haha yes sorry. I am planning to vent it so i was just thinking of a backup plan if i screw things up...Saabs are very scarce at the junkyards
In reply to Somebeach (Forum Supporter) :
Can you share the plans you have for you Saab motor? Challenge car?
In reply to davbro :
short version: do a RWD swap into a 1993 Mercedes 190e, using some cobalt ss bits and a Colorado 5speed manual transmission, it is my first major project but am planning for a challenge car. Just unsure when I will actually get it done.
In reply to Somebeach (Forum Supporter) :
will definitely check that link but i love it already!
On the quest for 16.50s I have procured a $120 nitrous kit.
Looking at you Cahill.
In reply to QuasiMofo (John Brown) Forum Supporter :
Bring it. Unfortunately for you the celica is sold already so you will forever have to live with having been repeatedly outrun by such a slow car...
I have no idea what I will be bringing down next year, but I do know it will involve a big bottle of giggle gas!
In reply to tb (minimally supportive) :
Curtis, yourself and I will have to caravan down. Peer pressure may possibly get Duke to join in.
In reply to captdownshift (Forum Supporter) :
Sounds good. Curtis helped me out a lot this year and it would have been much harder as a 1 man team without the random extra set of hands around.
I'm currently shopping for a larger, more powerful tow vehicle and the will then look for a decent trailer. Keep your ear to the ground for any good challenge candidates, please!
