Hello from the UK

Hi everyone ... I'm the owner and maintainer of the SAAB 900 (1979-1994) Special Editions website. I happened across your forums when I was investigating referrals to my website in my server logs ... I'd love to know what you were talking about here ;)
I'm afraid I cannot speak or write a single word of Estonian, so Cyber was kind enough to create an account for me to introduce myself. Aljoga, Part & Cyber have all recently posted on 900 Aero Forums ... which I where I "met" them.
Anyway, I'm from the UK (I live "Up North") and drive a 1989 900 T8 Special. This is a bit like the T8 Aero that a couple of people here have got, except this model did not have the Aero side skirts as standard. We got the whaletail, sunroof reflector, air vent covers and a rear decor panel. See here for a few pictures of the T8 Special. Mine is the white one :cool:
It's my third SAAB now, I owned a 1988 T8 and a 1985 900i before. Performance? I have had the engine stripped and re-build at about 100,000 miles and the gearbox re-build then. That in itself made it feal faster I run an uprated APC unit which is set to F=330, P=25K and gives quite an aggressive spool up to 0.85 bar peak stable boost through the rev range. I used to run a higher setting, but that killed my gearbox ... I'm going a little easier on it for now I'm going to fit a 3" downpipe, mating to a 2.5" exhaust soon - I already have the "Carlsson" exhaust system which is 2.25" and had the twin tailpipes until they rusted off I'm hoping that will give me a nice round figure of maybe 175 BHP? I reckon the APC settings give me about 165 BHP, maybe 170? Once I have the new exhaust, the shallow turbo elbow and done a little tune-up I'll get it on the rolling road and see what she puts out:)
Anyway, nice to meet you guys ...
