Glad you were unharmed. My condolences on the loss

 

That sucks!

Glad to hear you are ok.

It seems that 9000's like to die in groups.

We lost like what, 3-4 last summer, all at once?

 

well i brought the viggen back to life tonight.....

just needed a new battery and started work on the transmission mount, will finish in morning after i sleep this off

oh yeah go for the c900 i've always wanted an spg

 

Sorry to hear about your loss:sad:

But again a Saab allows a member to walk away.

i totaled the 91/92 saab, i hit a stone wall going to fast, walked away without harm.

 

if things work out, ill be picking up anuther 91 9k t this weekend, well see what happens though,,

more details to come

 

Damn that sucks. And to think I was about to offer you another T25.

 

Wow man, sorry to hear that. I have been reading your threads and posts with much interest. Glad to hear you walked away. I don't know that there's ever a right speed to hit a stone wall, though...

 

Jeez Mike, thats not cool

Glad you're ok.

 

ironicly in maine theres a 91 9000 t, thats a dead ringer for mine (even down the pinstripe) for 900$ so nobody go for it!!!!!!this might be a good chance for me to start over on a new car... and still get that same great look i love..

 

pictures?

 

x about a million......

I wanna see the damage....

sorry bro....

 

dude that sucks. I want to see pictures.

 

unfortuntily i dont have a camara at the moment, but hears a brief decription:

it was a low lieing stone wall, it completly missed the front bumper, it hit worst on the front passengers side, the rocks pushed the subframe out of place pretty drasticly, the hose from the delivery pipe to the TB got kinked do to movement.

it would need a new subframe is i wanted to repair it,, adn then it would need to go to the frame shop to be straigtend out. and once a car has been wrecked, it will never feel as solid again afterwards.

 

bump, check for sale section for parts list

 

i thought you were swappping all you gofast parts over?

 

in debate,, part of me really wants another c900 vert,,, a different part of me knows i have everything needed to make a 9k a road eater...

 

i was going to say i have a 91 9000T 5 speed that i just put a motor in i could sell you to replace your black 9kT its got 140k and its from florida all i want is for it $800 it needs some small things here and there but nothing major and its rust free!!

 

interested, PM sent

 

you by chance didn't have any of the upper poly mounts did you? pm me if you do

 

Glad youre ok. How fast were you going?

Remember, trees (and stone walls) never hit cars, except in self-defense.

 

i was doing around 70,, but i was on the brakes prior to hittting the wall, speed of impact was probably around 25-30.

i went and looked at SPGbees 9k today,, it was a decent looking car, but not entirely what i want, i also heard back from teh man with the black 91 900o turbo. it sounds like the car needs a clutch, but all and all isnt bad. hes asking 900$ it comes with a full black 9k aero interior, aero wheels, and a decent body (but high miles) its been sitting so odds are it will need other things as time progresses,, but im ok with that.

my major concern is with the clutch,, not because of the labor of doing it, but because i need to drive it 200 miles home. and if it needs to be towed its no longer worth it.

well see how things work out....

I made it well over that on my half baked clutch before it finally gave up. My advice would be to unplug the BPC on the way home so you arent boosting.

 

My NG came home with a snapped clutch cable through Smuggler's Notch, I think you'll be fine

 

Base boost it home!

 

the current owners still are not certain whats wrong with the clutch, it could just need a bleed (easy and can do before departing) or it could need a new disc... the car has 200k miles (not a big deal) and a very good service history,, nowhere stated in it does it say anything about clutch work. so at this point in time im up for beliveing it could need the whole 9 yards
