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 …
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 …
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 …
Not much happening currently – the winter is here! They promised a snow storm for this evening, so I had to go and make some room in the garage for the B105. I don’t want to leave it outside for the winter. So, a short clip about that: And as …
Since the 900i was stolen I was forced to buy a new car. (The 900i was later found in pretty good condition though… So I now have the 900i and this Turbo as well). This is what I found: It’s a 1989 Saab 900 T8 Special. Or as it is …
My car got stolen! My Saab 900 is gone. Somebody took it from our yard, not 10 meters away from my bedroom window. Didn’t even wake up… The car was locked, but.. Well… The locks on these old Saabs… I did have one of those separate locks to go between …
OK. The winter break is over and it’s time to continue the project. It hasn’t been completely dead though, I’ve managed to find time to do a little bit stuff… The 900i has turned out to be a very nice car. No technical problems (yet) – even though it has …
This is my “new” daily driver (bought January 2008). It’s a pretty common 1988 3D Combi, with just a few extras. It has tinted windows (“smoke”), wind deflectors on doors, opening rear windows, power steering and a rear spoiler. I don’t actually know which came standard with the injection model …
Damn! I just got the B105 running again and had an accident only a couple of days later. Well, just a little “fender bender” but totally my own fault. Actually it was quite a “lucky” accident in the sense that, even though I rammed my friends 1975 Saab 95, the …
Well, I have to get the “B105” running again (shot timing gears and some gearbox trouble), so I started by removing the engine and gearbox. Also washed the engine bay. I then removed replacement engine and gearbox from one of the 95’s. I took the engine apart to get the …
