As a SAAB c900 enthusiast

My first Saab 900 was a ruby-red convertible. Its unique driving feel and iconic appearance instantly captivated me when I bought it in 2011. I soon found myself wanting to learn everything about the car—not only its history and background, but also the mechanical details. I absorbed knowledge by following forum threads, studying service manuals, and hunting for parts online.

I began repairing the car myself, starting with simple jobs like replacing decorative panels and spark plugs, then gradually tackling more complex mechanical and electronic work. Over time, I shifted from preserving the stock setup to making thoughtful modifications, because I discovered how much certain changes could improve the driving experience. The car evolved from LPT to FPT, auto to manual, Sachs to Bilstein B6, CU14 to Trionic 5.5, and more.

The thrill of seeing the car transform after each upgrade inspired me to start developing my own parts. Some were hard to source; others simply didn’t exist. For example, I converted the original hydraulic soft-top system to electric actuators. You’ll find more examples like this when you browse my webshop. That’s how I began building a collection of self-designed components—and deepening my passion for the Saab 900.

A few years later, I added two more classic Saab 900s to my collection—each with a different body style and fuel system. One is a hatchback running Bosch LH2.2, and the other is a sedan originally equipped with LH2.4 and an EZK ignition system. Both have since been converted to Trionic 5.5. Working with these different setups gave me deeper insight into the variations across the C900 range.

I’ve also helped friends convert their own cars to T5, because it’s one of the most effective ways to upgrade a stock C900. The process not only boosts performance but also helps you quickly become familiar with the car’s systems.
