Saw it last night absolutely brilliant, especially the scene with Alice Eve in her underwear

Coulda sworn I'd replied to this... steveboyslim is near you in Harlow iirc. Give him a bell, builds lot's of high powered LET's and XEs, he recently installed under piston oil squirters on my block and did lots of other bits at the same time.

Hey guys, Ive decided not to go ahead with the SAAB Turbo converstion and i'm going to stick with the XE so now the question arises who do i get to do the work for me. Does anyone on here know of any DECENT companies or people around the Essex area that they would recommend. Ive found these guys but...

Change of plan not doing the Saab turbo converstion going to rebuild the XE..

So what the best way to get some decent power from one??

Also does anyone know any decent engine builders in Essex??

Going to try and hit a panel a night over the next week or so bet the missus will love that.

I'm so going to try and get this finished for retro gathering, anyone want to buy my 02 plate combo so I can raise the funds for the paint job quicker..

Quick update...

All the welding has been done and the car is being dropped off tonight.

my mate that did the welding has took around 40 pics of the work so once i get them i'll post them up.

Hi,

Ive got the same mower and had the same issue.

You need to buy a carb refurb kit as it the rubber gasket in the carb thats casuing the issue.

Takes about ten mins to sort.

Just a little update. I now have all the interior sorted. Have all the black plastics and the leather as well as a black dash. I have also purchased a Saab Turbo donor car for the engine etc. The car goes of to be welded on Sat morning so I can sort out the garage ready for the C20 XE to be removed ...

I know its not the best but I always use my test check.

Just text the reg to 83600 and you get three text back confirming details of the vehicle etc.

So this one yeah

Was worth asking..

From this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_H_engine Id say it was a B205 OR B235 The B205 and B235 engines are an evolution of the B204 and B234 engines. They were introduced in the 1998 Saab 9-5 giving reduced fuel consumption and emissions with improved refinement. The changes included lightweig...

Hey,

Can someone tell me is this the correct SAAB engine ie B204 to go into a Cav GSI 4X4.



Thanks

OK, ive had enough now its bl00dy April and its snowing in Essex and London.. Not just a little bit either..

Really come on where the hell is our so called spring/summer..

Tempting.....

Are you thinking of selling your lenso's???

what a shame such a lovely car, are you going to try and buy it back to use it as a donor or are you going to let it go?

Where to start lol I think I've got reasonable experience in this , first thing il say is cav arches are tiny and wheel manufactures make naff all euro wheels in decent offsets for cavs , it can be done though , I've had lenso's and rotiform s on recently ImageUploadedByTapatalk1364998969.535026.jp...

Lovely car mate, hope mine ends up looking half as good.

Hey guys, As you've prob seen from my resto thread I’m currently restoring my GSI now I’m starting to look into which wheels to get. Now I’m starting to sway towards the Euro look, so that means I’ll be looking at either Lenso's, BBS, Dotz or Dezent wheels dropped around 40/50 mill all round. So now...

All the panels arrived yesterday so I'm just waiting on my mate to turn up with his transporter to take the car away. Should be gone soon.
