Update to grandmas 9-3

yes I know I don’t have to move the ECU, search was providing bad info

No rust on the sub frame, no service records (though everyone said they where in the trunk), belt, hoses, look good, fluids are all bright and clean (still going to change all of them), oil leak some where for sure, trying to find the shop she worked with in San Jose / Santa Cruz to see if they have records of the work done.

Car runs great, pulls hard, no chain rattle sound. Grandma hit something to blow then front passenger fog light out and backed into something to crack the bumper paint. Both front seats are cracked and will need to be redone. SAAB, managed to stich the rear passenger seatbelt bracket backwards so it is forever twisted. Top has some knicks in it but works perfect and is still nice and tight.

Brake pads new, brake rotors not so much. Wheels, oof not factory but all of them are beat to shit. Need some suggestions for 18’s that are period correct. Suspension fucccckking hell. Sit in the car and it drops 1-2 inches. Need to get it all the way off the ground still so I can see what i’m fighting.

Assuming chain and guides are good. ECU Spacer, ignition cartridge and Crank sensor on hand, and two functional keys. What else do I need to be looking at to keep this bad boy running because it’s everything I like about driving and none of the modern shit that ruins cars.

We have inherited a 2000 9-3 SE Convertible.

We have inherited a 2000 9-3 SE convertible. It has been a grandma car since new, and lived in a garage in the hills above San Jose its entire life. The family wants us to have it as I will maintain the car and keep it around and running. Car has roughly 170,000 miles on it. Apparently full service records are in the trunk, outside of worn out leather on the drivers seat it has no issues that anyone is aware of. What am I going to need to look at right away besides the normal car stuff? Where are my trouble spots? Thanks for the heads up on my new hobby car.

VP9 sights replacement

My VP9 night sights are getting dim to the point I’m not picking them up in anything but no ambient light. I would like to go to something like what I have on my emissary which I have included a pic of. If not what are some taller sights you all like for HK? My phone camera is making them way brighter than they are.
