Hi this is my 97 900se turbo coupe. i bought this to replace the 900 classic that fell to the infamous weak transmission. I purchased this for 400 bucks from a kid who just wanted to get rid of it. I had to replace the headgasket and fix a power steering line and replace one rim because he hit a curb and took about a 5 inch section of the lip off. Thanks to craigslist i got 3 rims for 80 bucks. It has a new tranny and clutch. Also a new stainless JT 3" exhaust form the turbo back. The thing sounds mean. I have a pioneer 10 powered by an mtx amp, these sounded great in the old 900. these are the only pics i have now from when the kid emailed me when i fist inquired about the car. i will have more up soon.
I have recently made the the wingless grill removed all the chrome strips from the bumpers, I think it looks much better. Along with the smoked side markers to get rid of the foolish orange ones. A boost gauge in the head light switch socket and relocated teh swithc to the kick pannel. A silver dash kit. Also some vintage style emblems. Created a hood protection strip out of rubberized undercoating and painted it a gloss black to match the car.

Alright so I was driving along and heard a loud knocking from the engine and started to limp if home since i was only about a mile from home. And the she died and that was it, the engine died and would not start. So i installed a new engine instead of trying to track down the issue inside the old engine. The new engine is in with a new intake from GS and runnning great. And upon inspection of the old engine, I found a bad rod bearing in number 1 and a broken ring in number 2.
The bearing from Number 1

I just finished putting in a new tranny and viggen clutch kit. I would suggest the up grade to a viggen clutch to any one. I grabs harder and quicker than stock. I did all the work myself with the help of a friend and it went pretty well. The hardest part was getting the tranny lined up with the engine just right. I had to replace the tranny because i blew a gear through the side. So i decided to do the clutch and a clutch cable at the same time. If you need to do this and have any questions just ask.
here are some pics of the aftermath of my old tranny.
New System set up is in, check it out!!!!
