    you know a 98 daewoo llanos for 1000 that needs only a clutch wouldnt be too bad a deal...

    nevermind a saab with perfect tan leather. much nicer than e30 leather, or honestly e36 leather.

      I would piss on a non-turbo SAAB.
      But not on a non-turbo Volvo.

      I'd say fuck it and look for a turbo saab for the sexiness

          Buy $200 E30, Saab B234R conversion using a Getrag 260 and bell housing adapter plate. Best of both worlds.

            this is not a saab 900 classic, which ends in 93. 94 for convertibles.

            this is a saab 900gm, which although assembled by saab uses opel drivetrains.

            There is no magic clutch disc changer thing.

            I read that same article and it sounded cool. Nothing to do with this 98 clutch, which will be a very standard fwd clutch repair, extremely difficult.

            this is the 900s model. 2.0 liter 133 hp. 5 sp.

            almost base however there is also a 900i.

            certainly wont beat my e30 in any kind of race. Hearing about the specifics and getting ready to try and put a deposit on it.
            Yep, not a Classic 900 with its magic 2 hour clutch job.

              It's not an Opel motor, it's an Opel platform. The 4cyl is a Saab motor (originally designed by Triumph!), the v6 is an Opel unit that Saab did some stuff too (asymmetrical turbo). I just picked up a 9-5 Aero wagon for cheap.

                Truth. Saab did make some amazing motors, I just don't like that they put them in FWD.

                The GM Saab's did change their bolt pattern to match the GM gearboxes though, which makes B234R a good engine to convert to RWD. Opel Omega gearbox bolts right up with a custom clutch.
