Ooh, those are neat. Hang on there li'l fella.
I remember catching those when I was a kid over on the Gulf Coast. Perhaps he can crew for you?

Racecar 87 900s
So I recently added another Saab to my stable with the sole purpose of going racing. She is a 1987 900s with 96k on the clock. Truly seems like it was grandma's car. Here is a teaser pic:

So I am going to run some autoX, SCCA ITB class and am trying to run in the Grassroots Motorsports $2010 challenge. I would love some help from the Saablink community as to how to build this baby up. It needs more power, but the ITB class won't allow running a turbo. So it is N/A all the way.
In order to compete in the $2010 challenge, I can't spend more than $2010 but I can sell some parts of my car to offset that limit. Interior is blue velour. I will post up more pics as soon as I can, but wanted to get this out into the community.
More power ideas?

I guess it is time for a status update. Rear springs have been cut down. Front brakes have been ground down some to accomodate 13" wheels. Mudflaps had to be removed because they we dragging at new lower stance all carpet out. Floor rusters out. Interior panels all out. Center console out. Entire A/C system out. Horns gone. New upper radiator hose. New plugs, distributor rotor and cap. Saabguard alarm removed. Powerwashed car and engine. Compounded the exterior with a rotary buffer (still needs more work). Removed exterior trim strips.
That's all I can think of at the moment. The quest continues!

they belong to a friend of mine who is letting me try them on autoX before I get some light 15"s
they are Falcon Racing Wheels and Hoosier slicks sized 20X9.5X13
im interested in the pre-88 SPG wheels - PM me, and see if we can work something out.I spent $600, but figure I can harvest some parts for sale or have spares for my other 2 C900s
Doesn't everyone want a blue velour interior or argyle seat covers? Someone has to be searching for pre-88 SPG wheels right?
Someone told me that I should seek the early 86/87 steelies from a 9000 because they are cheap, light and 6" wide. Can anyone confirm those wheels would match my 87 bolt pattern?
