Last week I had the Stage1 E85 BioPower/Flex fuel conversion made on the 2001 9-3t. With the T7 engine you can drive with regular gas or E85 (85% ethanol) or any mixture between them. The E85 network is pretty sufficient in Finland for my needs, so I’m happy to drive …
During the past two weeks and last weekend I have done some basic maintenance stuff on the 9-3t I bought a while back. As I plan to keep the car for a few years I decided to fix a few issues – namely the brakes (squeaking), timing chain (rattling), and …
My old warhorse the 900i 1988 finaly gave up at 430 000 kilometers. Well, actually the engine is still good but the gearbox started to whine. So I decided to sell it off for spares and buy a new daily driver. So after juggling a bit between an Audi A6 …

We have arrived in Spa, Belgium! The drive from Odense through Germany was pretty un-eventful. The only noteworthy event was when a pigeon hit the car on the motorway, did a somersault, and continued flying on its merry way. …and we did manage to see a few Saabs also! We …
Here we are – in Odense, Denmark! Yesterday we boarded Silja Europa in Turku, Finland and it arrived today 6 am at Stockholm, Sweden. We pretty much took to the roads straight away, starting the 811 kilometer drive to Odense, Denmark. The drive went very well except for a little …
We are participating in the IntSaab2012 in Spa, Belgium. Since we are driving to the event from Finland there was some basic maintenance to be done on the car. We’ll be using my daily driver – a 1988 Saab 900i Combi (8 valve). Here’s our route: The driving distance is …
I have put the T8 Special for sale. I really love it, but I have too many cars and not enough time and space for all of them. Sad to see it go, but I really want to focus on the two stroke – V4 department. I really hope it …
