polyed the wishbone bushes ,slapped on some aero springs, replaced a/r bushes f/r with poly ones,fixed two big splits in the induction hosing
new sparks,k+n filter,cleaned all the induction pipework ,new silicone vacuum pipes,changed oil for mobil 1 ,new (saab this time !!) oil filter

and at the end....


Its like a new car
The take off is very aggressive ..much more than I remember the aero to be before I started fettling it
Handling much firmer and less sloppy
still oversteers a lot but that might be the tyres.. and no tramping !!

all the rattling and general "tired car and engine" noises have virtually gone

still got the blower motor to fix
but what a car ...

Who cares about the blower motor? Get the important stuff out of the way first


Great stuff

Yay, another Carly breaths better again, they are fun!

I nearly washed mine today...might tomorrow.

That certainly sounds like the car when I had it I had the brutal acceleration, though with the sloppy handling - not a good mix
but certainly fun

Very glad though to see the car being pampered - just what she deserves after the indignity of failing to make a very low reserve in an Ebay Auction

sorry we had too much to do...
