Been Away

[HumboldtBlazer]

For all those that don't know:

I still have been checking in from time to time. I have been studing the MS bibles lately trying to educate my back woods arse. I also have decided to revive my Saab 9000 turbo and it is taking up all the extra time my job and studing doesn't. I still love RC'ing just way too many irons in the fire right now. I am sure you will see video of mee jumping something off my roof shortly. Peace!

what year is the saab, blazer? i remember talkin to u about it several months ago.

89 with the Carlson engine. It had a riuned fender and hood (as far as body work goes) I just ordered them from the wrecking yard and they should be here end of the week. I am going to paint the entire car myself (I am feeling brave after all the RC painting I have done. The engine only has 10,000 miles after the complete rebuild, I have the aftermarket computer, the adjustable waste gate is set at 25 PSI on the turbo. It also has a Kevlar clutch. I need to redo the front end (CV joints, bearings) from all the horse power wearing them out. I am going to get Abott adjustable shocks and springs to make it scrape the ground. I will do pillow suspension (Ithink that is what it is called) where it is not dfull hydro's or anything but I can adjust the ride height. Lots of plans for the Saab. It sat for a whole year and I put a battery in it and it fired right up and ran like a dream.

things are great cars man. as we talked about previously, i have had several, and worked on them all my life.

WARNING: Saab CV joints will cost more than their weight in gold. If u can't find some a junkyard, lemmi know. i have a connection in CO that will hook u up

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

I think I will need that connection bro. As I have been told steer clear of the junkyard CV joints as this is really a part you want new espically with 260bhp. When everythin is said and done I hope to have the 2.0 puttin out around 440bhp. Here is where I am getting my high performance engine parts http://www.saabperformanceparts.com/

I wouldnt bother trying to drop my name, since i havnt spoken to him in almost 5 years, lol. but they were always helpful, and we would buy used saabs from them in the summer months, the things were always reasonably priced, and imaculate
