The spring is here! (I think… Yesterday it snowed a bit again…). I woke up the T8 Special from it’s winter hibernation last thursday to make it ready for the Saabclub Spring Meeting on the next saturday. I had some issues last fall with the car – the fuel cut kicked in at full boost… Continue reading Saab 900 Turbo Spring Maintenance 2010

Turbo clutch job
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 housing the splines need… Continue reading Turbo clutch job
Turbo spring maintenance
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 comes to emissions so I… Continue reading Turbo spring maintenance

Preparing for winter
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 I was there anyways I… Continue reading Preparing for winter
Saab 900 T8 Special 1989
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 sometimes called “a poor man’s… Continue reading Saab 900 T8 Special 1989
