I am selling my beloved Saab 900 SE Turbo. I have owned this car for just over five years and have personally replaced nearly every nut and bolt on it due to upgrades or maintenance. The car has a long story which I will be happy to share with you. I wanted a Viggen but I like the look of the hatchback on the 1995, as well as the 2.0L turbo engine.

The work I have done includes but is not limited to the following: Increasingly hard to find Viggen Body Kit, "Viggen" Mitsubishi TD04 Turbocharger, 3” turbo back exhaust, Jak Stoll ECU tune, Taliafero aluminum intercooler, Short throw shifter that retains stock shifter height, front and rear strut tower braces, 1" rear anti roll bar, Bilstein HD dampers, Vogtland progressive rate springs, polyurethane suspension and steering bushings, 9-3 axle update to reduce torque steer, new transmission at 170k, brand new (less than 1000 miles) Viggen clutch and pressure plate and lightweight aluminum flywheel. I installed a new 2.0L engine last fall which I refreshed with every new seal, gasket, and o-ring. New polyurethane engine and transmission mounts. There are plenty of interior upgrades to modernize it like a 9-3. The stereo is a Clarion head unit, Kicker 4" dash speakers, Polk Momo 6"x9" rear deck speakers, Kicker 6.5" mid-bass door speakers and, if the buyer wants, a 10" Kicker L5 sub woofer in the trunk. 3/4 of the car was repainted last year. It has 17" Elbrus wheels with 3/8" wheel spacers for a nice flush tire fitment. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them and are 205/45-17 size General Gmax. It has Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors with EBC Redstuff brake pads with lots of life left on them.

The only thing that should be addressed is a rust hole in the spare tire well which I am trying to find time to fix. Unfortunately this is a common problem with this generation Saab due to the shape of the rear hatch. I will take a picture if I can. Otherwise the car is completely rust free and shows excellent. I can take pictures of specifics and answer any questions you have upon request.

This car runs VERY strong and is rather quick. It reliably holds about 25psi boost but still maintains 29mpg and stock drive ability aside from the lowered right height. Mechanically it needs nothing and is ready to drive away. The suspension work has done this car well. It holds the road impossibly well and rides fantastic at any speed. I have a folder of receipts and a spreadsheet of when I did much of the initial work that the buyer can have.

And to answer the question people always ask; why am I selling it? Because I would like to focus my efforts on a classic car now and I need a garage bay :(

Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.

NEVS Saab EV prototype on display, with top speed of just 75 mph

Sat, Aug 23 2014

National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the Saab-owning Swedish holding company that is in turn owned by Chinese investors, has some problems (i.e., no cash). But that isn't stopping NEVS from showing off a prototype Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle this week. But wait, you might be saying, didn't NEVS already start production of a 9-3 EV? Yes, indeed, and the vehicle displayed this week was indeed built at the Saab plant in Trollhattan in May as one of those early pilot builds. A modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan, the EV has had the lithium-ion battery pack jammed under the floor, so all of the cargo and passenger space of the gas-powered 9-3 remains available. "The starting point for our development of the Electric Vehicle project was to maintain all the good attributes and characteristics," said NEVS' vice president of engineering and product development, Stig Nodin in a statement. You can find the press release below. The li-ion pack comes from Beijing National Battery Technology (which is owned by the same company that owns NEVS) and can offer a range of about 120 miles, NEVS says. The prototype also has a 100-kW electric motor that offers 140 horsepower that provides a 0-60 miles per hour time of 10 seconds and a top speed of just 75 miles per hour. That's unlikely to be fast enough to outrun Saab's creditors, but NEVS says that the prototype is here "to serve as a reference for specification of coming production model(s)," so let's hope the speed number can be increased while the range at least stays the same. Today Nevs presented the Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle as designed and produced as part of a prototype series in Trollhattan. The car is a modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan where the batteries are placed under the floor, keeping the full interior space as well as the luggage compartment intact. With that, the Saab 9-3 EV is just as practical as the Saab 9-3 Aero with gasoline engine. The Saab 9-3's famous driving-experience is of course preserved in the EV, helped by its low center of gravity and a 50/50 weight distribution. "We are happy to present the result of Nevs engineering into a real Saab EV product. The Saab cars' well-known performance and safety is maintained and we foresee a very good product for the market. When we developed the Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan Model Year 14, we focused on enhancing the driving experience, safety and quality.

Man in a convertible drives in the rain with a Christmas tree

Mon, Dec 7 2015

A man in a convertible had his holiday cheer extinguished thanks to England's infamous weather. Nicholas Dodd saw this sad, soaked through couple while driving down the A38 near Plymouth, Devon, according to the Daily Mirror. Dodd told the publication he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a Saab, top down, in a pouring rain storm. That's not all. The top was down because of the large Christmas tree wedged in the back seat. "We couldn't believe what we were seeing," Dodd said. "It was crazy - especially with the weather - but I guess he just wanted to get his Christmas tree home anyway he could." The Saab driver's female passenger also looks less than pleased by the sudden squall. "His missus was beside him but they didn't seem to find it as funny as we did," Dodd said. "He was just keeping his head down in a vain attempt to avoid the rain but was getting a real soaking." Dodd posted the video to Facebook, where commenters also had a good laugh at the soaking wet Saab owners. Weird Car News Saab Videos christmas rain
