The turbo needed to have it’s clutch changed. The first order of business was to make some room: In the turbo there’s a bit of intake tubes and hoses to remove… The clutch assembly and the slave cylinder were pretty much shot. No wonder the clutch felt crap: To remove …
The Stroker front wheel angles needed some adjustment because we had a couple of problems that needed to be sorted sooner rather than later. (Ofcourse I will have the angles better adjusted later.) Both wheels had a huge positive camper (the top of the wheel is farther out than the …
I have done some maintenance stuff on the T8 Special. Since the car needs to be MOT’d next week I had the emissions tested. It’s a catalysator model so it’s considered a “low emission vehicle” and the maximum emission values are pretty strict. T8 Kats can be difficult when it …
Better late than never! I took my time uploading these, but here we go – some images from the Saab Club of Finland winter event 2009. Saab Club of Finland displaying a few cars at “Talviheikki 2009” event. Some footage of setting up and of the cars. For example: Saab …
We had the yearly Saab Club spring event yesterday in Jyväskylä. I didn’t have too much time to stay so I only took a few photos. But, all-in-all a nice round trip of around 300 kilometers in the Turbo was very nice after the winter break.
We installed an electric fan for the ’64 today. We found a small enough unit from some Huyndai. Making the brackets was pretty easy and we put some mounting rubbers between the fan and body to minimize noise and to reduce vibrations. We were able to make the installation so …
Scan-Auto lahjoitti valtiolle 4 kappaletta Poliisi-varusteisia Saab 96:sia vuosina 1965-1968.

Lahjoitetut autot olivat Saab 96 Sport 1965 (kaksitahtinen), Saab 96 Special 1966 (kaksitahtinen), Saab 96 …
Time to get the Saab 900 T8 Special out of the garage (it hasn’t been driven in 6 months…). There’s a Saab Club spring event a week from now so I need to fix a few things and get it on the road: I had to change the brake master …
The water hoses on the car require quite a lot of tinkering, since there are no hoses that would fit directly. Here’s a few pics of an adapter that allows two 18mm hoses to connect to a 32 mm hose: The hoses are needed to transport water from the radiator …
Since all the brake parts on the car are new we decided to go for new lines also. So, new piping all the way through: New lines, but they have no flaring or nuts yet. Flaring tools – look complicated but actually very easy to use. First the end of …
