Hello,
I'm new to the page. I've just come into the ability to by my dads parts car (yay me) and I've decided to try to build a vintage rally car and join the Alcan 5000 in a few years. Currently, I drive a Mazda 3, but I've had 2 900s before this as well as seat time in a Viggen.
The Saab I'm looking to purchase is from 1986 and was previously owned by an 80's rocker. Its a 5 speed manual turbo hatchback in silver, and its in a tired condition. Happy to show you more when I can pick it up.
Has anyone ever tried lifting their 900s yet?
New to the group.

Welcome. The days of this site being super highly activate have kind of dwindled but a few of us still check in once in a while. Are you in Europe or are those just Vanity plates? If you are in the USA you might look at our classifieds section because there is a red 900 hatch for sale for reasonable money that looks like it might be a good starting platform.

Hey Thankyou,
I figured as much, It's hard for forums out there but you can always find helpful info from 2010 or something.
I am indeed stateside, Chicago Specifically. Not looking forward to owning 2 cars in the city, but what are you gonna do.

Re: New to the group.
At least half of the people on here have probably lifted a 99 or a 900
Crazyswede had a 900 with some front springs that came from a circle track car that we real tall. I think he used stock or some sport springs in the back with spacers above/below the springs. When you got in/out it felt like a truck. It was actually taller than the rally car we were racing in.

The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off

That's not a bad idea...
