After a 6 year stall, I've started work again on my 99T. During this pause, I've moved and lost all my old 9's newsletters, as well as my MSS catalog, Griffin Performance Guide (bought at SAAB convention in 1993), as well as a list of contacts for parts. HELP! I need brake parts (rotors, rebuilt calipers, etc), a turbo intercooler (maybe), horn button for steering wheel, and a new set of electric fans. That will complete the project. Just in case youíre curious, I'll detail what I've done to the car to this point: Rebuilt engine, port and match manifold, notch the injectors, switch to custom turbo unit from Mitsubishi Starion (spins up faster), install 5th injector, shave the flywheel, install 5-spd from 900T, HD clutch/bearing, performance wires, move battery to back, install 115W altenator from a Chevy Silverado, gut interior except for main gauges and drivers seat (Prinz Perf), install full rollbar, remove as much of the sound deadening stuff as possible, install lowered MSS coil springs front and rear (overkill) with poly bushings, new front airdam, Ronal R-10s wheels and new tires (6 years old and only 325 miles on them). Car runs great. If I can't locate parts and purchase inexpensively, car will have to go. I have 3 kids now and lot less time and money as I did 7 years ago. The really cool and amazing thing is that I parked this car 4 years ago last thanksgiving in a grasslot behind a car dealership I do some work for, went out there last month to retrieve it, put the jumper cables on the battery that's been in the car all this time, and started it up after about 10 minutes of charging. Since there's not any carpet or cloth in the interior, the car didn't even smell weird. No bugs inside either. Go figure.
