Wanted - 75-80 99 Brake Booster and Water Pump Tool
I'm looking for a good brake booster for my recently acquired 76 EMS. Also need a water pump tool if anyone has one to sell. Much appreciated.

Re: 73 96
When I discovered the steel gears, I immediately swapped out the balance shaft gear. Not too concerned about the cam gear as they rarely fail. The optical illusion pic made me do a double take. The gear was not pressed all the way on to the balance shaft. I love the simplicity of the v4, or the B en...

Re: 73 96
Had a little adventure with a western diamondback rattlesnake. It was hiding feet from me next to the SiS
I hope to have it running by next week

Re: 75 99 build
I would definitely do "modern" brakes and suspension while retaining the 8v engine. Looking forward to seeing this thing progress.

Re: 73 96
Finally getting some progress on the little 96. I disassembled the recently "rebuilt" engine that came with the car, and found it had actually been gone through. The overspray on everything had me thinking "spray paint rebuild". Glad I was wrong.

Re: What did you do to/with your SAAB today?
Today I drove my 99 SE HOT to Discount Tire for some new tires. While waiting for the tires to be installed, I walked to the auto parts store to pick up engine paint for the v4 that's going into the 96. When I went to leave Discount tire, I noticed a mouse caught on the front left brake caliper :huh...

Re: 73 96
I know what you mean. It's been a while since I've been around here. I haven't had any interest in my Saab's or cars in general for a while. Turning wrenches for a living really killed my desire. Luckily I just got the job I had been hoping for and now my love for old cars has returned. This little ...

73 96
I just picked up my first 96. I always loved Sonetts, 99s, 900s, and 9000s, but never really felt the same about the 92, 93, 95, and 96 until the past few years. Anyway, a good friend sent me a C list ad for a 73 96 that had to be gone in 2 weeks due to the owner moving. Knowing that my wife would m...

Re: 79 or 80 green 99 in Seattle
Wow! Haven't seen a 99 in the wild (other than in a junk yard or my own) since a trip to Seattle in the summer of 96. During that vacation, I counted 11 99s including a few turbos and a cardinal red EMS notch back. Even saw a white 2 stroke 96 on Lake Washington Blvd, and an orange Sonett III near m...

Re: It could be worse
This happened locally, and amazingly, the driver survived. It looks to be a 99 9-3.The news said he hit a truck head on, then the car was thrown on train tracks where it was then hit by a train. I hope the poor guy pulls through.
