Portugal - Trollhattan

[TesZero]

Hello, i am from Portugal and i am visiting Trollhattan. I am sorry if this is not the right place to post, but i dont understand sweedish and i couldnt found any presentation section.

I m in Trollhattan till 9 / august, i came here to visit the museum and to help my sister move here. She came here to work in a project for Saab.

I would like to know people here, it is the first time for us here and we are a litle bit lost

Before i go to Portugal i would like to buy a cheap saab for my sister (9000 / 900 / 9-3) A trionic would be great to converto to E85. For what i seeing from the city, everythung is a little bit far and the transports (bus and train) are expensive. So i think the best way to move here it will be a SAAB

I am a big saab fan, actually i am a member from SAABsPOTUGAL.com and i own 3 saabs.

So, if some of you guys want to meet and take a beer it would be great for me. We could talk a litle bit about Saabs and about Trollhattan.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings, and welcome to our Saab site!

To find a Saab in Sweden isn't Hard
Just puck one Thats nice and small amount of rust.
The 900 With Trionic 5 is a great car, indeed With the Aero or Viggen bumpers/sideskirts/rear wing mounted.
To convert to E85 With T5 is good but you Can only run E85 then.
Good in summertime but at winter it Can Cause truoble if you dont have an electric engine heater.
Common Problems are coldstart issues, when Weather temperatures are low and below 0 degrees.
The same With the 9000 also With T5.
Or you Need one ECU With gasoline program for winter and one ECU With E85 program for summer.

The Saab 9-3/9-5 With Trionic 7 Can do biopower, both E85 and gasoline.
The 900/9000 have great engines and capable of 450hp+ without change pistons and rods.
The 9-3/9-5 aint that good for tuning if you dont afford change rods and pistons,
About 300hp is a reasonable power output that holds.
In mind you Need to do oilchange more often.

With E85 especially you Need service more often.
1000km-1500km is a good range to hold at E85.
If you really live ur engine i Would do the same at gasoline

We have a great site to look on stuff for sale, www.blocket.se though only swedish language.
But every sweed who sells his car do it there.

Hope you figure the site out and find the car you want.

No offence but i daily drove my 9000 on E85 throughout the winter. Get a proper coldstart and tempcompensation tune and you can rock ethanol all year!

Although having one box for petrol and one for E85 is a very good solution aswell.

Hello, thank you for your answers
I fell very wellcome.

About saab i know a litle bit about it :P

Yes, i would prefer a b204 / b234 trionic 5 (R )
1st they are less expensive, then they can hold more then t7 b207 engine and... i dont really like oil sludge :P

At Portugal i have a b202 T16 300 hp, b234r all rebuild engine that is painting right now and a 9-3ss aero cabrio with a b208 T8 engine
T16 and b208 runs on LPG.
My sister and her boyfriend have a 9-3 b207 T7 with 280 hp.

Thanks about the blocket tip, i found it, but i need to know how to find saabs here ou close by... i will see it right now.
Today i walked a lot... and we are buying everything to home... so... we really need a "cheap" car so i can make the service to it before i return to Portugal...
