hey all, i'm mike, i figured i'd do an intro thread so y'all will know what the hell i'm doing trolling an EVO site with a euro car i have an '87 Saab 900 turbo, which i'm upgrading by using an Evo 8/9 front mount intercooler to replace the stock sucktacular intercooler.

pics of her as she is now:







questions? comments? she's got a few mods done, nothing too major though

 

good luck, welcome

 

I always loved the 900 turbos. There are so many peculiar things about that car that many people are unaware. Starting the car is just a joke, you have to put the car in reverse and twist the hidden key on thecenter console between the front seats (my friend had his car attempted stolen but they never could).

Then the funny clutch location, right behind the radioator . and what about the belts, they are in the back of the engine between the engine block anf the firewall.. Then the hood which it actually slides out then swings up.. so funny , then the fuse box is outside the engine compartment in the corner by the firewall

Despite all that I love this car and is one of my favorites of all the times, I think is one of the coolest cars in the market.

Welcome to the forum..

thanks guys yah she's a quirky little car, but i love her and have confidence i can build her up to where she'll be something to be proud of

 

Welcome to the show. There is something about the Saab 900's shape that appeals to me. I guess because it is slightly odd looking might be the reason. Good luck with your build. I would love to some pictures of the engine bay.

 

heres my engine bay halfway torn apart

 

looks nice good luck but are your tires on the wrong way?

 

huh uh, lol, though i have new tires on her anyway... kinda burned all the rubber off of those

 

That picture just confuses me.

 

NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN
have fun with your build
good luck

butt3r

 

Crazy Saab's good luck with it just be soft on the transmission when you start increasing HP!

 

haha, i take it you know about them and their ability to handle power? or lack thereof?

 

I look at that engine bay and 2 words come to mind as im scratching my head

Um wow

 

Like who in the hell puts the engine in backwards? Saab the only people I know of

 

Good Old Saabs. Nothing is in it's usual place, but everything works! Great Cars. The convertibles are the ones to stay away from. That should be a fun one to work on.
