As my 89 900i hatchback had a rear-end hit recently (check my Saab pics on flickr to see pics of the damage) and needs to go for insurance assessment (I'm suspecting it'll be a repairable write-off),...

I've uploaded some more pics of the car into my Saab album on flickr.com for anyone interested:

It's a fun car to drive, and once the...

Yum is the word. It's a white 1990 2.0 litre 9000 'Carlsson' with 5 speed manual trans:

Since I've had the 81 turbo c900 for a couple of years now, I've had more time to think about this. All I can figure is that because the car has the older full-tank pressurisation pump setup, it...

I'm fairly sure that the block casting itself from 1985 up in both c900's and 9000's (except the V6 equipped 9k's) is the same - a regular second-series 'H' block (though I'll have a look in EPC...

I hope everyone has (or has already had!) a good Christmas and an enjoyable NYE as well.

Regards,

Craig.

Posted this on saablink.net and the forums at my site a few days ago...

My 81 turbo is exhibiting a starting problem when cold - it's fuel-related since the engine fires without a problem after a...

Really? 8-) My 81 turbo has the right wheels (genuine Saab TRX's with Michelin metric tyres) that I re-fitted tonight in place of my set of Saab minilite's, but the car is painted dark blue not...

He he yeah it's a true 'classic'! 8-)

Yes it's my website they point to. I noticed that phpBB on this server didn't recognise the image URL into the gallery2 database as a valid image so I've copied to my workstation account:

Well I've pretty much decided that the car will get some sort of front-mount intercooler now as the improvement in performance with grafting a T16 intercooler into place behind the left-hand...

Hi I've come across this pic recently:

and I was wondering if anyone...

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of collecting parts to add a c900 T16 intercooler (one of the nice all-aluminium Blackstone ones!) to my 81 8V non-APC turbo c900, and just about have everything...

Yes that's why I'm serious considering getting Ferrita kits to go on my c900's. I noticed however that Feritta has now dropped from their website the stainless exhaust kit for 8V c900's (SAK-30119 I...

Thanks for the feedback. I still want a ferrita system, esp. for my 81 8V turbo, but shipping might make it beyond the budget for a while.

Craig.

I've never seen that accessory before either!

Craig.

Very nice! I wonder if we will be fortuntate enough to have it here in Sydney for the Sydney international motor show in October? The Aero-X was here for our motor show last year.

I believe that...

I've been looking at Ferrita systems for quite some time. Now that I have an 81 8V turbo c900 I'm a bit more interested, though the biggest factor for me (being that I'm in Australia) is the shipping...

Red APC boxes come up quite often on Ebay - there have been well over 10 of them that I've spotted just this year. But I'm not sure if they are any specific version or part number.

Craig.

I've heard of people putting 16V turbo engines into Saab 99 shells but never actually seen one. I have seen a 99 which has had the original 'B'-motor removed and a turbo-equipped 'H'-motor put in...

Hello and welcome! I'm in Australia and am mostly a classic 900 person though I'm wanting to 'branch' out into 99's in the near future.

There are plenty of 9000 owners in our Australian club -...

That's one schmick motor! lol It's got all the bling that comes from big wheels with low-profile tyres, without having any ricer-like bling! Like a proper European prestige car should.

Well done!...

Now that the engine runs, I've been diverting attention when I have time to spare onto the bodywork, fixing rust mostly. Some of it is baaad! But apart from decay on the bottom of two of the doors,...

Hello and welcome Joe. I'm Craig in Sydney, Australia.

That's a really nice looking 9000 - the exhaust system must be soooo 'open' compared to a stock one! Quite a few Saab Car Club of Australia...

Here I go self-quoting again! 8-) Anyway, suffice to say that I think the fuel-pump assembly being the source of the problem is spot-on the money. I'll find out tomorrow. I posted the following...
