1987 saab 900

This is my 1987 saab 900 2.0 8v running on a single carb and an lpg conversion. I`ve had it for about 2 years now and it`s been spot on, the only annoyin thing is people, usually over the age of 50, wantin to stop me and complement the car, lol.
I`ve taken the whitewall inserts off now cos they started to split where they insert into the rim and they only been on for 5 months. I`ve also lowered the car all round too since these pics were taken but the back end is a little too low probably due to the lpg tank in the boot.



The picture below is the car when I first got it, i`ve done a few subtle changes since then clour coded grill, clear indicators, etc.

this is the underside after i lowered the car, i`m suffering a bit of scraping on speed bumps now.

Those wheels look great, and the whitewalls are something I've not seen on a 900 too! Very nice.

I think it looks cr@p!!!!!!

nahhhhhh only joking....it looks great...any interior pics???

Thats because i live in scarborough

hi. i got the white wall inserts off ebay £40 for a set of four and yes they`re 15 inch wheels. The make is atlas. They not too bad to fit and come with instructions, but my front ones were splittin bad where they insert into rim so i took em all off.

They`re the same ones advertised in the back of car magazines like practical classics n classic car weekly, but for some reason they`re a bit dearer than on ebay. My dad had some 13inch ones fitted onto a 1963 reliant regal about 15 years ago, only on the back wheels mind, they were on it for about 3 years but it only used to get summer use doin a couple of thousand miles a year and never really went over 50mph so not as much hammer as they were gettin on ma saab i was doin 200 miles a week and motorway speeds for a few months with them on. I think they lasted about 5000 miles altogether.

I've cut the saab springs but i've took a little too much off the rear ones as i didn't account for the empty petrol and gas tanks when i did it, oops. As for mpg on gas i havent worked it out for a year but it's around 25mpg on gas and 30 on petrol thats just work n back though it does about 40mpg on a good run. Last week i did a 160 mile trip on £20 of lpg using main roads and a bit of motor way drivin and i was doin 60-70mph most of time and it's only got a 4 speed gearbox so i don't think thats too bad.
