New 900 owner, what to check out?

I posted a thread earlier asking whether the 900 would make a reliable commuter. Well, I ended up buying it. It is a 1992 900 Turbo Convertible with 135k miles on it. The previous owner took meticulous care of it and has a stack of maintenance records an inch thick. I am pretty confident the car is in good condition at the moment, but what are some things I might want to check out, or change, just for the sake of not being left stranded?
So far the car seems great, but a couple of quirks I am wondering about: When I turn the car off, I hear two clicks coming behind what seems like the drivers seat.
Also, when turning the steering wheel sharply, it makes a kind of a whine, as well as a gassy hiss.
Every now and then when going WOT then letting off, the idle will drop for a moment.
Sorry if this seems like a lot of questions, but I want to get a leg up on any problems before they may start occurring. I am pretty confident in doing most minor repairs by myself.
THANKS!
