Well here we go. Whitey has been and gone - bought as a toy to make fast and play with ended up as a car to use while Lucifer got gear boxes swapped and sold on due to lack of funds.

I was never intending to do anything to Lucfier more than a few subtle mods to the suspension and exterior but things have spiraled recently and I am now on a mission. (all be it a slow one)

So, the low down - Lucifer C900 T16s 1992 K plate.

As she currently stands:

Black original paint
Standard Suspension
Standard engine
Standard Exhaust
Full Saab/Specialist service history

Mods:

Abbott racing BOV
Performance filter in standard air box
Italvolanti Wood Steering wheel
Alpine Head unit
Saab uprated dash speakers (mids and tweets)
Alpine type-R 12inch sub in sealed box
Alpine Monoblock amp
Kenwood Component tweeters and cross overs on the rear speakers
Boost guage in centre console
Downgrade to Black box APC

Plans:
Some of the plans are already started, i have parts at home to fit and i have recently aquired more parts so i will let you know what i own and what i need while i make the list.

Interior:

Full Leather seats - i have these and have installed all but the drivers seat
Wood Dash - I have this and it has been installed
New front carpet - need to find one and fit it
Carpet mats (to stop the damage to the carpet again)
Uprated rear speakers - with new wiring to fix current issue
Head lining replaced
Oil + Water temperature guages - guage mounting bracket already installed
Oil Pressure Guage

Exterior:

Lowered suspension on Bilstien Sports and Kilens - already have the springs
New boot lid to remove rust
Whale tail spoiler *OR* Carlsson body kit
Refurbish Super Aero alloy wheels
New front bumper (or Carlsson kit)
Aero kit resprayed
Under front window rust repair
Full Mop clean (using buffer machine by proffesionals)(maybe by me but i need to practice first)
Small dents removed from doors
Drivers side top hinge replaced on door.

Engine:

Full service - ASAP
Tune up
Moderate front mount IC with no mods to the body
Air con disconnected - done
Fix annoying water feed to turbo - got pipe
Induction kit (at least cone filter) - remove air box
Modded APC - APC sat at home
JT 3" exhaust - possible de-cat
Sweeping elbow - battery relocated
Possible ignition upgrade - (MS)
Type 7/8 primaries
New gear box oil
2.3 Cylinder head
Engine removed and petrol leak sorted, cleaned up and repainted
Engine bay cleaned and re-sprayed, all rust sorted


So that is pretty much it at the moment, its a long list i know and i am restricting myself to a very tight budget at the moment too (max £100 a month on upgrades)

I will post some pictures soon.

Looks like you've set yourself quite a task - good luck.


By the way, I thought that you'd know what the law is here - pictures old boy!

I'm not a great fan of black cars, but this one really floats my boat. Something is "just right" about this car. I think with C900s, it's often the owner that makes the car ... great ride, mate ... this will be an interesting thread to follow.

murray dude


you didnt happen to be in manchester a few weeks ago, working on a landscaping project at all did you....?

i only ask as my mate saw a 900 owned by one of the contractors, took a piccy and sent it to me off his fone. it was a rubbish shot, just of front of the car so couldnt make out any details, but i am sure it was a K900 plate ;)

Dont think i have ever been to Manchester, not me unfortunatley, good that your mates are saab spotting for you though. I saw a 2nd black k reg t16s in leeds yesterday, with a whale tail, shame i wasnt driving as we were alongside! would have looked wicked! - you do see a fair number of K900 plates around though

Thanks Phill - i will trade it with yours any day of the week!
