I'm the self appointed crew chief, I'm the giant with the blue hat in that first pic. I have tried to fit into the car, it simply doesn't work because Luke is about the size of the guy on the other side of the car.
I'm content to wrench, hammer and bark orders. The car is owned, driven and mostly built by Luke. It's a small band of Rochester Saab guys (well they were in Rochester now they're out of school and I'm left here all alone *tear*) I love going to rallies to attempt to spectate and crew at that same time which is quite a task.

It's FWD
As for 200hp, I think that was pretty groundbreaking in the 70's for a 4 cylinder NA car. IIRC the EMS motors built for Rally were putting out 240hp from a 4 cyl NA car back in the late 70's. And that was an "achievement" for Honda in the late 90's;)
I love the "you need this aspect as well" except with this car it's "Alright I'll start making it" instead of "let's buy it" That's the most fun part, fabricating simple things like a panel to block off the trunk from the cabin. I beat a piece of 16 gauge steel for 4 hours to make a dimple for the power steering hoses (the car originally only came with a manual steering rack and we added an older 900 power steering rack). I hate Jesse James for making that shit look easy with all his experience and torches and hammers and dollies etc etc.

Do Saabs still have the drivetrains situated like that?
Awesome pictures. Custom fabrication is the most fun part about modifying a vehicle. IMO

Good use of the Swedish flag for accent colors. cheers, scott
According to the pics, that's the paint scheme they were using, I can't think of a better color combo tho, it just looks wicked.

Awesome!!
I've been further immersed in Saabs as of late as I've been hanging out with boe from automotion's daughter. it's interesting to see some of the junk these guys do. and amazing how little things matter so much... (I feel like a hack)
you headed to the SOC? I guess it's "out your way" I get to miss that whole event as well. I HATE it. anyways.. that looks like a ton of fun. I'll be passing this along =0]

It's FWD, the transmission sits underneath the motor, basically it's like the oil pan for the motor, that's why it's a problem with more power, there's no more room for stronger gears so any high output (more than like 250whp) tend to go through transmissions.
The classic style 900 was the last saab to have that setup, after that they went to longitudinally mounted engines.

I'm heading to SOC actually, and as of now the Rally car will be there too. My cousin has a newly redone 91 9K turbo that's nice, he's supposed to be there too. Non car people don't understand us, people in my office are like "you're going where to do what?" I think about explaining it and then decide I'd rather slam my head in the door.

Not "the Stig" but Stig none the less, he still runs in US rallies (NASA and Rally America) IIRC he helped Saab put together 3 WRC championships in the 60's/70's.
Events forthcoming: Saab Owners Convention (lame by race standards as the cars don't move) Rally NY, Monticello NY Sep 22ish *fun times for sure* Black Water Stages, near Watertown NY October (1st weekend I think) it was pushed back from May for some reason.
Next year, if we do all the same events it will be Rally NY in spring STPR (western PA) Rally West Virginia (inbreds here we come) Rally NY fall Black water stages

You see, that right there proves that car people can get along even if they hate the other guys car!
As far as rim of the world (my search showed california) I would bet he won't want to drive the truck that far and take 2 weeks off work to do it. Would be cool though.

Yet another update
Now with custom Aluminium Radiator and new turbo -> intercooler pipes/couplers (no the turbo is not new, it's a used stock Garrett T3)
New Custom Side Mount with new intercooler-> throttle body connection
And the obligatory removal of something to make the intercooler work better

Pretty clever(with the IC)...
I didn't notice... how's this thing managed? megasquirt? have you considered small puller-fan on the IC? it's a zero-pressure area surrounded by engine heat.. could be "bad"
anyways.. looks awesome!

it's got electromotive TEC2 management with a conservative dyno tune. Somewhere around 200whp.
There had been talk of an FMIC, but packaging would be an issue. The sidemount obviously isn't ideal, but at speed I don't think it will be that much of a problem, the stock intercooler on old 900's is the same setup and it seems to work ok at power levels we're working with. In addition to being a thicker core this intercooler outflows a stock 900 sidemount by like 4x. These two things should contribute favorably to performance. Eventually I think FMIC is the way to go, but then you have to worry about how much room there is, if it's low it'll need a guard of it's own.
I just remembered there was a pic and caption on the car from Grassroots Motorsports website http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/news/category/project-cars/1995-subaru-impreza-rallycrosser/ we're down almost to the bottom of that page. I'm happy that they said "It was super badass"
