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 just stumbled upon this somewhere (can’t remember where). Anyway, I think this “96 V4 Extreme” looks pretty awesome! And by the pictures it looks like there’s a tech upgrade coming that will make it truly “extreme” 😀 Cool car, check the rest at Garaget.org: http://www.garaget.org/?car=121513&image=1721976
So, the 1964 got registered and I’ve been taking it for a some rides the past few days. There’s been a few hicups which were pretty much expected – it is after all an almost 50 year old car and last saw the open roads in 1976! But I did …
The 1964 two stroke is finally on the road again for the first time since 1976! I got it inspected and registered today. The inspection itself was passed with flying colours, but there was a few hicups to sort before it:
Tikkis is putting for sale some Sport&Rally stuff. Read the descriptions below the thumbnails. As the IntSaab2012 is nearing it is possible to deliver at least some (smaller) items to Belgium (both me and Tikkis are participating). Of course you can pick them up in Finland also if you so …
A fellow Saab Club member Vesa brought in his 1961 two stroke Saab 95 Wagon – a seven seater. The car is in original unrestored condition except for some touch up paint in the engine room. Very nice patina for a 50+ year old Saab! Vesa has owned the car …
I participated in the Classic Motor Show at Lahti as part of the saabworks.fi team. Here’s a short reportage with photos: The show was just great. I talked to so many people I almost lost my voice towards Sunday evening. Learnt a lot too – there’s still many many people …
I have written about the Saab V8 engine before. But as I came upon some more detailed information of the history, design and construction of it I wrote an article about it in the IntSaab2011 magazine. I actually went to interview the chief engineer Mauno Ylivakeri who was the V8 …
Niklas Enander from www.classicsaabracing.com had a little boutique at the IntSaab2011 event selling various performance parts for the two stroke and V4. I decided to buy the Pertronix breakerless ignition kit for the two stroke just to minimize any ignition problems and improve reliability. There’s two versions of the kit …
I bought a new project. It’s a 1969 Saab 96 V4 Rally car – originally built to Group 1 specs. The body is in a bad shape and the technique is missing, but it has some competition history from 1976 to 1977. My dad is already working on the body …
