Thanks Mattias-M!
Visited breafly in the garage and made a change which do not enchanse performance, but makes oil filling a lot easier
Old oil fill up pipe from Saab 9000
New fill up pipe from Saab NG900

Heat insulation to downpipe.
Engine back in engine bay with new bearings.
Hopefully King oil full fills its promises and engine will start soon

Thanks David
Went to the garage today and got something done. Well, I put back exhaust pipe and did some styling
Somehow I like those both.

"New" crappy front breaks. Got tired to do somekind of adapters for brake calibers, so I decided to put original parts back. Intresting to see how much EBC yellow stuff brake pads help with these breaks.
A bit something to keep stones out of the oil cooler core.

Nothing wrong with good old Ate stuff, calipers are a bit heavy.
Ventilated 278 mm discs from Commodore B GS/E should fit on your hubs, calipers needs a spacer of course.
I drove some trackdays with stock brakes on my Commodore in 2011, worked ok but at the end of the season discs started to get very blue...
My car is heavier than yours i think, almost 1400 kg and straight six iron engine in front. Less power than SAAB turbo engine though.
test drive
