tandino 1 Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 As some of you know i used to have a highly tuned 900T16S pushing out over 270+bhp (nearer 300 when its new owner gets it remapped after the latest mods shortly before i sold it x) )..Here's the video - the trackday was a sort of shakedown day as i only got the complete engine/gearbox/turbo/head together 2 days before :! Only minor problem on the day was it vibrated the idle speed bolt out - not bad considering - 1 new bolt later and she was off again 8o) .Probably best off right clicking and 'save as'. http://homepage.mac.com/markcanderson/tandino/elvington.wmvPete.

tandino 1 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 It does the job so to speak..You'll hear my Mate Alan squealing like a pig in the passenger seat 8o) Car was running ok considering it was only put together 2 days before.I was only running lowish boost in the morning session - 16psi (which was that vid session) - after lunch when everything was checked over i raised boost (19psi) and the car was running like a champ.My Mate Alan has a 311+bhp 9000 Aero and mine was quicker than his down the straights - my passenger Sam had a rearward facing vid camera in the boot and you can see his car go backwards 8o) You might notice quite alot of lovely lift off oversteer going on when i get past the 9-5 - just the way i like it 8o) Pete.

tandino 1 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Turbo powers great VR6 turbo power will be even better (if i can ever get the funds together to finance it).I was not really giving the car a right hammering as the gearboxes are very fragile on the Saabs - you will probably notice im letting the torque pull me out of quite slow corners in 3rd whereas you would usually use second - that way i got to drive the car home rather than its return voyage on the back of a flatbed .Last trackday i did at Anglesey in June my mate Ross lost 1st and 2nd and his car was putting out alot less than mine In the case of those cars gearboxes mechanical sympathy is everything Pete.
