Flamesuit on!!!

Have great iX chassis.

Thinking about a 2.3 Saab turbo front wheel drive conversion.

Thoughts?

[nando]

no.. god no.

[jpod999]

That would be cooler in a car that's already FWD. Go find a Honda Fit to stuff that in to!

[packratbimmer]

already have three RWD and no need for AWD

iX chassis is scrap bound otherwise

[Eskie]

Fuck it, do it. If your gonna scrap it otherwise. The way I see it, your keeping another e30 on the road...

I used to be way against unorthodox swaps but it doesn't bother me anymore.

Are we talking the setup that's in the Saab 900? I can see that working because its a longitudinal front wheel drive setup. The later Saabs were transverse and I don't see that fitting in the e30 engine bay.

Make some stub shafts out of old axles for the rear wheel bearings so they don't come apart!

Just one of those wild hair ideas that will not likely occur, but I drove a 9000 turbo back in the day that would rip your hand off if you were not careful. Thought a FWD with a powerful 16V engine might be a fun change-up. Weight should be pretty low as well.

Will probably end up welding RWD strut towers into it.

Quattro swap?

[Eskie]

Might as well..had an old Audi 100 that had a pretty standard Quattro drivetrain..plenty in the junkyard...but still how much money you want to spend on custom driveshaft etc..

That would be worse than an FWD swap lol.

[LowR3V'in]

crazy people still say that I remember people saying flame suit on from like 99.
Please don't flame me. anyone still use aim?

[BECKSTER]

Don't, your children will hate you.

[packratbimmer]

Oh, you know what a terrible reputation vintage Saabs have as snow cars. They could barely move in the VT and NH winters - LOL. I think they were built in North Dakota or Siberia or some other really cold place? I heard Nokian tires were terrible too...

My 11 year old daughter puked when she read this...

[flyboyx]

might as well throw on your asbestos underwear too. this is just silly. if the body is worth scraping, it isn't worth this effort.

[Eskie]

Asbestos...sounds itchy
