There are 2 identical buildings as you come in from Ubi Ave 1. Blk 53 is the one on the right, drive all the way up to the 5th storey and they are in the middle row.
I used them a couple of times for my previous car and they did a pretty good job. -

Hi GreyMatter
If you haven't tried this yet, clicking on different parts of the opening screen will bring you to the 3 separate documents for Tech 2, eSI and TIS which you can then save to your hard drive by clicking on the 'save' button.
-
Cannot. I click on the link, select the "open" option. Acrobat opens the intro page. I select any of the 3 - esi Tech ll or tis - I get a popup "could not open the file xxx.pdf"
-
Are you sure? I just tried to download, and it seems to work.
I thought of sending it to you via email, but it is 13.5MB in total!! Too big. -
I also tried righr-clicking and selecting "save target as" option. Same thing, dl is only 214kb!
Cannot send by email! Yahoo only gives me a measly 6mb

I am sure it works too...
I have downloaded it and it is in my computer

The 3 files can be downloaded directly via

FWIW, I couldn't open the files from the splash pdf either (Mac user) -
Can you guys received attachments of 13.5Mb with your email account? If can, then email me the account, and I will send it to you.
Otherwise, got to wait for the next meetup.

Here's the name and address of a pretty good paint/body shop. They use solvent-based (not eco-friendly) DuPont paint. SAAB use DuPont too, water-based though, I believe.
I handed the director a table of SAAB color codes with their corresponding DuPont stock number, so technically, he'd be able to do an exact match for your factory colors.

To improve your brake efficiency without spending too much money on Brembos or APs callipers, you may choose to upgrade to Mintex Brake Pads (either the "Red Box" or "1144" compounds), Customised stainless braided brake lines and filling your brake reservoir with the Mintex C-tech High temp Brake fluid.
You may want to include a PermaCool ATF cooler for your auto transmission under prolonged trashing.
I have installed all the above on several rides with very satisfactory results.
