shizzl Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 is the key in the centre console in this? a customer dropped their one off at work one day, took me fucking ages to find where to start the bastard...haha i always thought of them as a sapceship, weird shape,turbo ones go alright though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah centre key, engine and box have their own sumps. Awesome car, I was the SAAB technician here in Welly for years and still work on a bunch. If you ever need bits or advice hit me up, great cars, turbo conversion is easy and worth it, standard tune always was a bit average. My Turbo B202 motored 9000 used to spin the front wheels on the motorway, not bad for an auto front drive Early 900's are the shit tho, have a manual coupe to pick up in the near future as a project.

You dont by chance, look like Charlie Sheen? When I worked for schofields in auckland, all three saab techs looked exactly the same/like Charlie Sheen, and to this day, he is who I think of whenever saab is mentioned.

Snoozin Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I saw a heartily low one of these in Penrose (but 2 door) and it tickled me in the right places. Add some of those awesome trispokes they seem to rock, and slam it for maximum awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidTheCreator Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 oh snap, im gonna spend some coin this weekend. to bad the springs are only 5mm lower though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I read it as 5mm lower than the factory sports springs, which are 20ish mm lower than standard springs so would be about 25 mm lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Also, these guys do Saab parts and have always been awesome to deal with when I have needed Volvo parts, they are States based but pricing is sweet if you can wait for it to arrive http://www.fcpgroton.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bout 25mm all up, re-position that rear muffler and trim mudflaps, shorter shocks are a must, these bottom out hard when lowered. Also try Parts Plus in Thorndon for all your consumables/OEM parts. Got most things at good prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
