i still have that issue!

 

very interesting. They had issues with that car from the start.

 

What kind of issues Drew?? This wont be a daily driver. But it will be my personal car. Then the wife will have the 9k and The van will be my daily.

 

Thats cool as shit. It would make a kick ass daily driver. Viggen looks and handling with a nice T5 setup. My only fear is not to tune it too aggresively as how much power can the Sensonic take? Can you still put in a stage 3 clutch etc?

I would seriously buy that car if I could for the wife and myself to share.

 

i think if i remember correctly that one is rebuilt and reinforced. the main problem i think testers were having was reving it and dropping it in gear and it wasnt built for that. Not that it was a particularly good piece to begin with, but a great idea.

 

yeah but if you run out of replacement parts you need to convert to full manual....

 

lol, true statement

 

very cool car though i would buy it if i had the money

 

Cool I have the issue too!

 

This might work for me....A Manual with no cluch....I might start bidding on it. Calling the wife now!!

 

Yeah, thats a car that you have because its a Sensonic and not to tune it aggresivelly. A total show car imo.

 

yeah thats a sunday afternoon driver. Not a everyday car. Hopefully some punk ass kid wont buy it and fuck it up.

 

I remember seeing that car at Carlisle and its probably about as unique as you can get with a ng900 here in the states.

 

What do you think the top price should be...I dont want to pay too much.

Called the bank and the cash was just dropped into the account.

Going to watch it and see how far it goes...then make my move.

 

its hard to put a price on that car.... id say 7k

 

900/9-5? anyone else ese that?

Yeah European Car did a nice typo on that one...

 

That is a great car, owned by James Uhl who is a tech for SAAB corporate. The car was originally a regular 5 speed with clutch pedal, and with his connections he was able to get parts from europe and some from here to transform it into a proper Sensonic car. Very cool car and a nice collector. You would skip adding any more power to it just so you don't screw it up. If I rmember what John Moss said the cars were pretty robust but when they had a couple for American journalists to try out they blew the clutch/trannies up.

Hope it goes to a good home.

I've driven a few cars with similar auto clutches. The key to it is learning how to drive them. Simple things like not touching the shifter unless you are shifting and such. Most of the cars I have drove have micro switch in the shift handle to disengage the cluch and as soon as you touch it the cluch disengages. This has been the cause of most of the problems I've seen in them. Granted these were older cars (late 60s-early70s)

 

I live in Duluth, and I've never seen that car driving around...

Oh wait, thats Duluth Georgia.

 

Darn it. Why can't anybody keep Ebay stuff to themselves?
I was hoping to steal this one.

 

haha yeah i hate when that happens...

 

I'd say order that gopher of yours to aquire new target and await further orders.

 

What's Bullrun, one of those Gumball-like rallies? Is it any fun to watch? ;]

 

Don't really watch it on TV, gotta be better up close though.

MUCH better.

 

Sensonic is MINE!

Hey all!

Just wanted to let you all know that she has gone to a good home. I have known James for over 10 years through Saab and SCUSA, but I can honestly say that I NEVER thought that he would let go of that car. I don't think that many of us here have seen the detail that this car has had poured into it, and how much of a real perfectionist that James Uhl is. (The Sensonic clutch is only one small part of the unique identity this car has!) Everything is virtually brand new, in show condition and it has NO quirks!

James had a Trionic engineer at Saab write an ECU for stage 3-4 type levels that only hits in 3rd-5th. It's very streetable, very fun, and feels like a new car that handles far better than advertised. I feel very fortunate to have been at the right time and place when no one bid. The car is worth almost three times more than the amount he was asking with all of the extras he threw in! I'll post more about it later when we get a chance to get better acquainted.

 

Nice grab, Terry!

 

Hey Mike!

What's goin on with you? I hope that everything is great.......how's the Cayenne Concubine? Do you have any compressor surge? I have to tweak that somehow, beyond that I am a very happy camper! BTW, are you Cooter in Hazard??
