I've posted a couple of messages into the forums at my site and the SCCA
site in relation to tracking down sources of TRX tyres in Australia since
I've picked up a set of Saab's TRX wheels with the 1983 turbo C900 I've
just recently received.

if you look at the photo in the link there is a black thing in the
radiator hose

During the past week the Heuschmid 4-door C900 body kit I bought from an
Ebay seller also located in Australia has arrived after the courier
company delivering it from Melbourne to Sydney totally fscked up their

9/3 Aero Combi V6 all dressed !
Finally got a good deal on rims. They didn't had any more in stock ecept a
set of 16" mag wheels. Got them for the same price so I have a winter and a
summer set.

Approx. 6 times in the last 8 months my 9-3 will not start. This problem
will last for only 10 or 15 minutes and then the car finally starts. This
seems to occur when the temperature is warm and when the car has only been
sitting for 5 to 30 minutes. All the lights on the dash come ...

Saab 900i, 8v, '88:
someone got enthusiastic with by bonnet pulley:
the cable became detached from the lever - I fixed that,
but now, even pulling it will not open the bonnet.

What differences would one expect between a DIY APC upgrade such as the
one outlined at http://www.saabworks.com/projects/apc.html and a ~$300
box from a professional tuner?  Obviously the former involves more
effort, but is the final product qualitatively comparable, or is there

I moved back to the UK from Germany this year and decided to use my car
allowance from work to run a '94 Saab 9000 CSE instead of buying a
brand new lease purchase car like most of my co-workers.
The car has been in the family since new, and I paid £750 for it and

I received the turbo C900 I've mentioned in a few places recently and it's
got a problem starting. The starter works fine to crank the engine, but it
sort of fires but sort of doesn't. I have checked the distributor, coil,
etc. and made sure all the wiring is in place and not broken ...

I need the steel bar that fits between the front seats and onto which
the seatbelts clip, then I can refit the original Klippan seat belts.
Thanks

Anyone want to sell a used bumper extension for the front passenger side?
Mine just fell off. Not looking for mint condition. Used is fine. Nothing
on ebay right now, so thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Looking for general consensus on average life of auto trans on this 96 9000
CSE turbo 4.  Ours has 116k, and trans pump has been loud for 60k, but still
going strong, just worried of expense when it does give up, and if worth the
expense to replace.  All help and opinions are ...

I have an 04 9-3ss Aero with the stock Pirellis P-Zeros (on the 17" rims).
I just swapped on new Goodyear Eagles (on 16" rims) for winter driving
(wow...these work great!  just tested them in 6" of snow, up steep, slick
hills in Maine on Thursday).

I have found the TCS valve on the firewall. It is connected to the
intake via a check valve. Check valve does not allow air to blow out
from the intake but it does allow air to go in, albeit slowly. I checked
by blowing and sucking. On sucking air out of the intake (towards the
