Well, for now I have plenty of simultaneous projects going on, and I need a place to sort them all out. I randomly decided that because I was out of paper, this would be a good place to keep that.
First off, there's my car. Morrighan, my beloved '87 Saab 900 Turbo, is getting old. 22 this year, and in bad need of all sorts of maintenance, I've been torn between purchasing an '05 Saab 9-2x Aero or simply spending the money to fix her up. For now it looks as though it would actually be cheaper to do some maintenance. So here we go.
The list of things to do to Morrighan to make her run properly:
1. Battery has constant drain from head unit not being wired through the ignition. That needs to be rewired.
2. Alternator bushings require replacing. In a bad way.
3. Passenger window has a clip in the door that scratches it. That clip needs to be ground down.
4. Passenger window switch control is wired backwards. Needs to be rewired.
5. RR tire needs patch.
6. Front end wheel alignment needs to be done.
7. Rear shocks need to be replaced.
8. Oil pressure sensor wiring is open. Needs to be reconnected.
9. Crankcase air valve hose that has coolant pipe running through it needs to be completely replaced with new hose. Coolant pipe would need to be re-routed.
10. A/C pulley bearings need to be replaced.
11. RH front bumper needs to be re-secured to the car.
12. After completing 3, the window seal (which was old and brittle) cracked so as to no longer be functional.
13. Fix fuel leak.
14. Fix heated seats.
15. Fix Power Steering leak.
List of Planned Upgrades:
1. Stiffer Front and Rear Suspension
2. New Camshaft, Valve Springs, and Engine Rebuild
3. Performance APC
4. Rebuilt transmission
5. Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator
Modifications done so far:
1. Open Air Intake. In reality, the air coming in is probably warmer than before, however the resistance to flow with the old system was not making the colder air worth it. 6 piece stock system has been replaced with a 2 piece open-air filter system. Noticeable difference.
