[DavidTheCreator]

so brought this the other weekend for no particular reason other then im a retard.

pros: goes well.

cons: doing the belts was a fucking cunt of a job, is to high, has gay wheels.

thoughts/sugestions?

also WTB: 4x108 15's.

[DavidTheCreator]

from what i can tell the trans and engine share a sump, would a trans cooler be much of a plus?

[Truenotch]

Needs more coupe.

[flyingbrick]

That's kinda cool. What's the engine?

[Raizer]

That's kinda cool. What's the engine?

Saab B202.

Basically a much further developed Triumph Dolomite engine lol

[durty]

Does it have an extra button?

if not you should get an extra button

[DavidTheCreator]

Needs more coupe.

was gonna buy this and this red coupe that was on trademe but i forgot about the auction and missed out

has heaps of extra buttons

[shizzl]

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

[Borgweiser]

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.

Cool car man. Saw one of these driving down Ponsonby Rd today, got my head turning. Looked like it had mild slammage.

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.

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.

[DavidTheCreator]

dont happen to know where any lowering springs or standard springs i can get compressed are, borg.

oh snap, im gonna spend some coin this weekend.

to bad the springs are only 5mm lower though...

[durty]

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

[durty]

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

If by look like Charlie Sheen, you mean have awesome hair and a massive cock, then yes.

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
