Dash... Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: SPG turbo stuff, Rob SPG, Tue, 27 Feb 2001 00:18:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I used to have an '83 900T and the dash was cracked to all h#!!. Almost seemed as though I could pick pieces off. I had that car for about 7 months; it was my first car/Saab ever. It taught me how to drive stick. The leather was torn and the headliner down/up with thumbtacks. It had only 178,000 miles. The tranny was loose and the CV joints clattered. It leaked oil from oil cooler lines as well as coolant from the bottle. I will never forget the rush of the Turbo though. One evening I was driving home from crew practice and passed by another Saab, right where I had bought my '83. I did a quick left lane change and through on the brakes. Walking up to the car, I realized wow, this is quite nice! The headliner was up and firm, the leather looked as if it was literally just pulled off a cow, and NO CRACKS!! Oh ya! I fell in love immediately. At the time it had 83,000 miles. Now it’s got 105,600 miles. Yes like a Saab, it’s needed some repairs. Main pulley, a/c compressor, slave and master clutch cylinders, 5pc. clutch, tires, new CV joints/ axles, but it’s all fixed up now, from the help and love of the people here on the Saabnet! Thanks guys! I just replaced the exhaust system and now am looking into ordering a new antenna mast, oil plug, and getting the parts to change my tranny fluid.
Wish you luck!
