Re: T5 Wiring Harness Help

Not everyone's harness looks like a mess http://www.saablink.net/forum/728468-post23.htm The wiring harness diagram MikeD posted is okay but as Squaab pointed out. "It has been going well for over a year, with a few minor problems. He had wired the coolant temp sensor per a wiring diagram he go...

Re: 73 99 camber Q's

I used mostly .029" and .072" For some reason this car needs more shims than the other c900's I seen. Alignment right now is -1.5 camber, +2.5 caster with a 1" drop.

Re: 73 99 camber Q's

I'm the guy that made stainless steel shims. I ended up with 4 different thickness .029", .035", .052"?, and .072" They are all hand made with a drill press, dremel, file, and hacksaw. I used a old shim as a pattern. After twisting off several bolts off of the A-arm brackets, I d...

Re: Rust Free 99 Turbo

Why not keep it original for something so rare and clean?

Re: Engine Rebuild Stand

If you ever have trouble with the pattern sticking to the sand, in college we would dust the pattern with baby powder before filling it with sand.

Addco Swaybars

For sale a used set of Addco swaybars for the c900. Hardware is complete except for 2 small missing poly bushings. Please look at the mounting instructions for the rear bar, as you will have to drill holes in the floor pan to mount the bar. I can't guarantee successful installation. Sold AS-IS . Her...

Re: 16 valve B motor - living the dream

I thought the 16v B rally cars had dog boxes. Better make a set of dog gears and while you're at it make a few more sets...hint, hint. ;) ;)

Re: SAS swaybars and front bar question

I had a crazy thought this morning after working all night. What if I took a stock sway bar and replaced the center section with like a 3/4" 1040 steel or so rather than doubled them up. Of course it would probably easier to just double them up. I used to work at a place that made "wire&qu...

Re: SAS swaybars and front bar question

With further investigation I'm confident that I have a set of Addco bars. The front mounting system seems okay. There are L brackets that bolt onto the inner lower ball joint bolt and the support brackets bolt to the frame rails underneath. Seems pretty sturdy. However, the rear is a different story...

Re: SAS swaybars and front bar question

I think the whole swaybar debate comes down to driver preference somewhat. If you feel comfortable with how the car is behaving, regardless or whether that is or is not the setup that provides the ultimate grip, YOU will be faster. This sounds dumb but the '87t I used to have felt better in the twi...
