------------------------ Update Note -----------------------------
(2005-01-22)
I have updated this Saab 9000 turbo car to v1.2
Fixed the following stuff:
# Wheel error there was wheel4 line left in the wheel def file that was caused the error i did removed it.
# The dashbord was too high i toke it down by adding minus -60 value in the interior def file offset.
That was all

This Custom wheels that some cars and truck have can cause conflict if you download lot of cars and truck
at same time and you install all at same time then you will not see the correct wheel for it.
You have to try installing the addons ony by one not all at same time...make backup allways.
It is all becuse of the "description.def" in the ..\My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal\makes\wheels
get overwriten every time you install another car or truck that has custom wheel.
all my addons that i will make from now on will all have wheel idx 7.

Regarding the Saab interior dashbord that i made i had some limit to make it real because pttm game 
engine has not wide large dashbord view camera so it don't fit small cars or euro trucks,
i had to remove the glass and some part to make it feel like a car to see better. 

I have included "Saab9000Trim.wmv" movie in this zip file to show how a real Saab 9000 turbo accelerate go fast
looka like the Saab 9000 in the move is newer model and has trimed modifyed engine that is diffrent from normal Saab

How to  extract base.scs ?
One thing all must know before they can edit or add a truck:
Go to "C:\Program files\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal" and find the file called "base.scs" copy it to:
"C:\Documents and Settings\.......\My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal" if u got windowsxp
Then rename it to base.rar instead of base.scs, and (assuming you have winrar(zip) installed) right click on it,
and choose extract here. When extracted, delete base.rar as there is no need for it any more. 
Now you have 12 new folders in your "......\My Documents\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal" folder. 
If you wanna edit or add a truck go to ..\makes\truck 

If you installed car ,truck don't show up in the game it can be caused of serveral thing see the FAQ in my site

Also i have made two diffrent 6gear Saab transmission if the default one is unstable or it go fast 
swich to the low speed transmission you can buy the low speed transmission by hit N key
Go to Trucks > Part Shop > transmissions filter >   select "Saab 6 gear low speed"
Another way is to open the "!desc.def"  under ..\saab-9000\transmission0
and find the line the ---> power:200
change the 200 value to lower and your Saab car will go slower and more stable.

One more note about the fuel this Sabb car eat lot of fuel gas it becuse it go fast you can lower the value for the
engine power and transmission to see if it can help but you will lose the speed.
or try to open "acc_base.def" file in makes dir and see the line: tank: 300
try to make value with  more liter see if it can help.
