Re: free gearbox case

If I had a spare engine I'd stand it right there. :) But nope, it sits lonely on the shelf. No takers by Saturday, it's getting recycled.

free gearbox case

I think it was from a 4 speed? Maybe not the most wanted variety, but perhaps somebody out there can put it to good use.

Free to a good home, if you pay the shipping from Oregon...

Re: Craigslist / Fleabay / Blocket.se / Kijiji / Thread

That's nothing that about $10000 worth of lithium batteries can't solve. :thumbsup:
I actually love this electric conversion. Nice color, body looks good. One of our cars is electric, and it's pretty sweet to zip around silently. :yay:

Hey the yellow 900 is an even better bargain now- only $300!

Of course, every wire in the car sounds like it's melting...

Re: Craigslist / Fleabay / Blocket.se / Kijiji / Thread

Ok, it's time for a huge clearout sale. I have two ads on Craigslist here in Portland OR but there are almost no Saab buyers here, so am willing to ship stuff out. There's a metric f**kton of stuff I have to get rid of due to losing my work space. I also have to finish my project car in the next fou...

Re: T5 Flywheels

Well, I figured I'd double check my work here. Looks like I made some kind of error, unclear what the hell I was thinking, but the flywheel mark is lining up perfect now. So looks like all this was a false alarm based on my paranoia. I may still need to dial things in with that software adjustment b...

Re: T5 Flywheels

I guess the mark doesn't matter as much as the trigger cutout on the back side. This photo doesn't show it very well, but my finger is marking where the line is on the flywheel. So, maybe 3 teeth between line and beginning of the cutout- meaning that's right about at TDC on the backside. Not sure if...

Re: T5 Flywheels

Reviving this one from the dead! I just tried to fit my T5 flywheel from eeuro. This is the 240mm flywheel from a 9000 2.3 (part number 9117615) and I'm wondering if this looks correct. The engine is at TDC, confirmed via a wooden dowel touching piston. Should the machined groove be lining up w/ the...

Re: Ulrika - in dolomite sand

Thanks Dennis. Yep, still wrenching. I made more progress today than I have in months! Of course, I spent all summer on a fishing boat in Alaska, so that slowed down progress a bit. Got all the transmission seals replaced, joined to the block, and started on this fancy eeuro flywheel. I'm really hop...

Re: Ulrika - in dolomite sand

*palm smacking forehead*

I have that same tool buried in a drawer somewhere. Bought it just in case, a couple years back. Completely forgot about it. Haha. Thanks for the timely reminder Luke. :)

Re: Ulrika - in dolomite sand

Yes! Took a lot of searching but finally located my missing adjustable cam sprockets. :)

Question time- I'm struggling to pry the transmission input seal out w a screwdriver. It hasn't budged. Any tricks to this before I mess something up?

Re: Ulrika - in dolomite sand

Wow, it's been a LONG time since an update. Life has seen some big changes and this Saab project had to relocate to a new shop. It's been slow progress but I'm not giving up. :) Here's the engine as it looks today. New chain, guides, rings, bearings, freeze plugs. Someday, I hope it'll run again...

Re: I've gone electric

Yep, $7500 off is a nice chunk of change. Some states have good incentives too. I found Tesla's site to be the most helpful in researching that (no surprise there). I have to say this Leaf continues to impress. If only the trunk folded flat all the way so I could sleep back there. ;)
