    Saab 900

    Yes, orginal 2.0 liter. I had a 2.5 inch exhaust in addition to the other noted items. Being black with dark window tint it was not exactly a highway sleeper but it would move when you dropped the hammer. Sadly rust has taken it off the road.

    CMC June 13 Maine Mall A/X Benefit for Eric Benson

    And I understand that many MSrs will be going to the WBM. CMC will be there in strength, and any MSrs that make it are a bonus. Chris

    Saab 900

    A Saab 900 with an LH 2.2 or LH 2.4 can be chipped. On my 90 SPG, I had a big IC, modded APC, big injectors, and a reworked ECU (via socketted chip replacement). Could generate 25 psi of boost, and made 267 ft/lbs of torque at 3200 RPM. It was a monster down low, just the kind of grunt to get...

    CMC June 13 Maine Mall A/X Benefit for Eric Benson

    No, CMCs schedule is established early in the year. We have signed contracts with the Maine Mall. We feel it important to have the benefit as soon as possible and at a place that gives us the best chance for donations. Our other venues are off the beaten path and would have little chance for...

    RIP Eric Benson 8/26/85 - 5/23/10

    I would say Eric was a Mainer, a CMC'r, and a MainlySuburu'r so keep the benefit in MAINE. The more people come out to the Maine Mall the more people will stop by, in other words crowds draw crowds. We have a unique opportunity to make a big donation if we all hang together. CMC is planning...

    CMC June 13 Maine Mall A/X Benefit for Eric Benson

    CMC has not had $15 member pricing since around 2000-2001. As with all things cost rise (in particular lot rental). CMC is still a bargain relative to other clubs in New England. I tynik it is fitting that since Eric was a member of this organization and of CMC that we extend member pricing...

    RIP Eric Benson 8/26/85 - 5/23/10

    My 2 cents on the decal are to keep is simple and elegant with a bit of insider mystic. I run Nates #39 (Pedro posted) and while strangers dont know what it refers to, those that knew Nate sure know.

    Aug 18/19 UMO, Orono ME

    At Tarmac Attack, Millers STS machine was beaten (Raw time) by a Subie, Honda, and a Saab. At Sunshine A/X, Millers STS machine was beaten (raw time) by 2 Subies, a Lotus, and a Saab. But I agree that in class he is very very tough to beat.

    Suspension 101

    Well I called it 201 on the CMC board (cuz I had done 100 and 101 last year) Yes, lots of postive caster makes it harder to steer. As does a 2.6 turn lock to lock steering rack, and a 14 inch wheel, and an LSD..... I eat lots of Wheaties!! Because of all the extra "stuff" and the stiff spring...

    Aug 18/19 UMO, Orono ME

    The date of the secord 2 Day A/X event on the UMO campus in Orono is almost upon us. The MCA lot plays home to the course, and offers 210,000 sq feet of pavement. This makes it the biggest venue the CMC has access to. Each day is a separate event, so come for one or both days. UMO courses are...

No old Saab Motorsports parts in Yellow Thunder (although I have just about all the old parts on the shelf: cams, rockers, pistons, etc) Most engine parts are of...

    aug 10th auto-x at the jetport (+ pics)

    Early in the day I got a ride from Andy, and it was quite a hoot from the co-pilot seat. Note to self, must find better place to hold on in a WRX. Anyway, I came away worried that my car would not have the moxy to keep up with the big dogs. My friend with the white Sonett also rode with Andy...
