Re: New whip! New pics!
Oh man I love Swedish cars. I had a 1983 B21 powered 242 turbo brick and I loved it. I upped the boost to 1 bar and it pulled about like a stock DSM. I then owned/modded a handful of Saab 900T's. My favorite was my 1985 SPG. It ran at 17psi on a slightly larger T3 and made really decent power. The motors are downright stout. It was a 1 tire fryer all the way.
The RWD Volvo was my favorite though and even though it was heavy it still drifted great and laid big old patches. The FWD Saabs handled better than one would think, but were traction limited like a ----------er and popped trannys repeatedly above 200whp. Swedes design(ed) a great car. Now that Ford has taken over Volvo and Chevy has bought Saab; it's all over. I've wanted to do a 2.5L T5 swap into an old turbo brick for awhile now and it'll most likely be my next project as soon as I can find a clean/cheap 242 turbo. 5 cylinder+RWD=flawless victory.

fa sho, there was a cleacn *** sedan on turbo bricks with the T5 in it. I want to get another 740 and go for the t-6 swap, that ---- would be raw. Money prevents all though, as that would be an expensive *** swap. Turbo redblock FTW
