I am considering purchasing an '88 SPG with lots of modifications and using it as a daily driver. Following is a description of the modifications:

1988 Saab 900 SPG. rare black/grey, 116,500 miles. ca 265 HP. All parts listed are new or improved with less than 1,500 miles on them. Car is in A1 shape in and out just completed $4000 paint job(show quality). Engine is solid-no leaks. Aluminum flywheel, kevlar clutch disc, refurbished and strengthened transmission, red series turbo/injectors, viggen dump-valve, racing suspension springs, brembo cross drilled rotors axis pads(red powder-coated hubs), racing camshafts/cylinder head, racing apc box, k&n ram air induction system, bench flowed/ported cylinderhead/ intake/exhaust, big bore throttlebody, complete stainless steel exhaust (abbott racing), super aero 9000 16 in rims (lip polishes) new yokahama tires, road rally motor mount, powder coated engine, copper head/exhaust gaskets, 4 pt roll bar (red powder coated) bolted in. Too many others to list. Car is in beautiful shape and is in heated garage no snow or rain. I'm the 2nd owner have all matinence records and all receipts (10" thick). Have bought new parts in the last 30 days-larger pressure plate, larger kevlar clutch disc they have 0 miles on them.

Can anyone provide an opinion as to whether this car, if driven sensibly, will provide significantly more maintenance head-aches than a non-modified SPG? Also, will the super aero wheels present any rubbing problems?

Thanks.
