Saab 900, 1997, Kotka

• With a heavy heart, I have to let this one go too due to changing life circumstances. There is simply not enough time for all hobbies anymore, and I’d like to get it out of the premises before winter. During my ownership it has always been kept in a warm garage over winter.

• I’ve owned the car for 5 years, and it has mostly been a project during that time. It has covered roughly 4,000 km during my entire ownership. The car was imported from Sweden in 2014, and I have been the owner since 2021.

• Almost everything built into the car has been done during that period and mileage, from a clean slate.

• Visually it is in pretty good shape for a 30-year-old Saab. It has been fitted with all kinds of goodies, including a Viggen body kit, Inca rear spoiler, M3 mirrors, genuine 18" BBS wheels, RSP LED auxiliary gauge, AEM wideband, exhaust gas temperature gauge, tinted windows, etc.

• The technical side is pretty nice too. It runs a B204 engine, Holset HX40 Super with 14 housing, exhaust manifold made by Arttu Suokko, 1200 cc EV14 injectors, AEM 340 E85 pump, 3" full exhaust with race cat and two silencers with 4" outlet, 6-puck sprung sintered clutch with Viggen pressure plate, naturally aspirated gearbox for shorter final drive with the larger turbo, KKD 60 mm wastegate with screamer pipe straight to the ground, 4" intake cobra and piping, 4" K&N filter, model-specific large intercooler and piping for it, DO88 all coolant hoses and plenty of other parts I can’t even remember. A hell of a lot of parts have been fitted.

• The chassis has polyurethane front bushings, Koni dampers and Eibach springs, Brembo XtraLine 308 mm front brake discs, EBC Greenstuff pads, and Ferodo pads and discs at the rear.

• The interior is currently stripped at the rear, but all parts come with the car.

• A few faults that have appeared over time: the radiator weeps very slightly from the lower right corner now and then, though this happens rarely; engine oil leaks from the distributor plug on the driver’s side. The gearbox, in typical Saab fashion, means third gear won’t tolerate race-style shifting and crunches in the lever. That is probably for the best, as with this power and torque it should be shifted calmly anyway. The summer tyres are no longer very good, with 2–3 mm of tread left and are fairly old. It would also really benefit from semi-slicks.

  
  

• All modifications are recorded on the registration document: engine, suspension kit and wheels. No need to worry about those. The ethanol conversion support is still unclaimed; if the state is still granting such support, it can be applied for with this car.

• Performance-wise, if you’re interested: last spring, with somewhat modest boost and tuning, it made 410 hp / 480 Nm at the wheels at 1.5 bar. Now the boost is safely around 1.7 bar.

• Sold only to a proper enthusiast who understands these cars, not as a first toy; preferably a Saab enthusiast.
