Re: saab/vectra rear beam

I went nuts and bought dampers (kyb) and springs (vogtland) for a 1999 saab 9-3 since the strut assemblies looked strikingly similar. All is good except upper spring mounts. The saab 9-3 upper portion of the spring is quite a bit wider. Need to find saab upper spring mounts or come up with something...

Re: saab/vectra rear beam

Does anybody have any more info on the saab front control arm compatability? Looking at pictures it seems the saab 900 and first gen saab 9-3 front arms will mount up to the factory steering knuckle and the front most lower bushing mount, but the rear does not have the horizontal to the ground rearw...

Re: Aveo motor swap (1.6) into Lanos (1.6)

Right, but your not understanding the difference: swaping an OBDI car to OBDII which originally came with both configurations to begin with, IS plug and go as Nubrias brought 1.6l single and dual cam engines OBDI or II depending on location. The Aveo is OBD 2.5 only and that engine cannot be swappe...

The Woo was able to pick up the new motor under its own power. Sweet. http://knoxhs.homeserver.com/woo_aveo_swap/trailer_motor.jpg Some pics of the blown motor coming out.

Re: Aveo motor swap (1.6) into Lanos (1.6)

Arn't the intake ports of the Aveo and the mounting pattern different than the Lanos? Due to the composite vs aluminum intake manifold? Yes, I will include details with pics shortly. Throttle Body - Aveo is 4 bolt instead of 2 Fuel Injection - Aveo is returnless and injectors mount into manifold. L...

Re: Aveo motor swap (1.6) into Lanos (1.6)

Sounds like a perfectly doable project, although I'm not sure it would have been my choice of engines to drop into a Lanos given the Aveo motor makes the same power as the Lanos motor. I guess the big issue will come if your lanos has a front mount as opposed to the regular center mount of the Aveo...

Aveo motor swap (1.6) into Lanos (1.6)

I hope this thread can provide some useful information regarding an Aveo swap into a Lanos. I will be adding pics of the progress and hopefully some meaningful side by side comparisons of the two motors. Background: I have a '99 Lanos that I picked up for a great deal sometime in 2004. It's a Lanos ...

The cupholder is still in the dash so that is not being parted out.
How about the plastic strip that runs along the door sill on the drivers side?
Got it. Throw me a price and a shipping location.
