Re: Wheel and Tire Options
Thanks for the suggestions. Im getting a set of the Kumho Ecsta 4x II in 205/55 r15. I really wanted to try a true summer tire like the Yoko's but I like driving the Saab on cold mornings in the spring and fall so I think the all season Kumho's should work for now. I'm going to be mounting them on t...

Re: Wheel and Tire Options
The Yoko's and Kumho's both see like good choices. Taking a deeper look at the Yoko's I found they are available in 205/50R15, and 195/55R15 in addition to 205/55r15. Has anyone had any experience running 205/50R15 or 195/55R15 on a c900?

Wheel and Tire Options
I recently acquired a set of Shelby wheels in addition to the SPG wheels I already have. I want to have one set of tires for spirited back roads driving for spring through fall and another set for track days, autocross, and hillclimbs. It's been a long time since I've driven a Saab or needed tires a...

Re: Lagertha, 85 SPG Sport Touring
I haven't made much progress as I have been working on my deck but I did pick up a Hobart Multi Handler welder. It was more then I wanted to spend but it is light and portable, dual voltage, and multi process. I'm going to start learning how to use this thing over the next few weeks.

Lagertha, 85 SPG Sport Touring
I've been lurking here for some time and have been in attendance watching some of you run at STPR and the Giant's Despair Hillclimb. The fabrication work that some of you do is inspiring and I want to get off my butt and join in on some of the fun. My 85 SPG has been somewhat of a project for a whil...

Feeler: 86 SPG Parts Car, 3 spare engines, 1 auto transmission
My dad has an 86 SPG thats been sitting for a number of years and is probably only good for parts. The body is pretty beat up with some dents, fender rust, and rusty floors. I believe it was having clutch and brake issues and the interior is trash. It still has the SPG kit, and SPG wheels minus the ...

FS: 89 900T automatic part out
My father has an 89 900T that rusted out where the trailing arm for the rear suspension mounts to the body. We pulled the motor and many of the parts already and the body is going to get scrapped this week. I am not sure at this point what parts he is keeping or selling but if you need anything let ...

Re: Anyone else with header logo issues?
It might be a problem with the PHP configuration on the web host. If nobody made any changes to the configuration on the site maybe the webhost updated PHP on the server. I found these 2 forum threads that might help. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2107414 https://www.phpbb...

Re: Finding good quality rebuilds
It seems like now is the time to find good cores while you can. I picked up one nos rear caliper and another rebuilt one for the other side on ebay. So much better being able to see the actual part being sold in pictures before buying. Im keeping my cores so i can rebuild them myself. Im returning t...

Re: Finding good quality rebuilds
The rebuild you got sounds way worse than the one I got. Mine would probably work but knowing there are still some good cores out there I guess I'll return it and try again. Is there anyone who still sells the rear calipers new?

Finding good quality rebuilds
One of my rear calipers is frozen on my 85 SPG. I purchased a nastra reman but was not happy with the core because the metal was very pitted and missing metal where the brake pad slides. What are the best rebuilders for brake parts and Saab parts in general? Should i just keep returning rebuilds unt...
