Trollhattan Saab has changed!
The site you're viewing now is the original Trollhattan Saab weblog, though it's now an archive only and no new material is posted here. As of February 2009, all new material is posted at our new site - Saabs United.
Please join us at Saabs United and get your daily Saab fix from Saab sources all around the world.
I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome back Elkparts as a sponsor of Trollhattan Saab. Elkparts and TS have a long association and it’s great to have John back on board.
And the good news is he’s brought goodies for everyone!
For those who might be relatively new around here, Elkparts are an internet-based seller specialising in Saab parts, performance parts for Saabs and accessories from the Saab Expressions range. There’s a huge range of Saab scale models, clothing, repair manuals, wheels – you name it!
Elkparts carry items from respected companies like Hirsch, BSR and Speedparts, as well as a wide range of genuine Saab spares and accessories.
To celebrate Elkparts’ return here at Trollhattan Saab, John has arranged a couple of specials.
1) A free Saab handwarmer with every purchase made from Elkparts:
Small, light and easily carried, the Saab hand warmer produces on demand heat simply by snapping the metal clip inside which produces a chemical reaction in the gel inside. Watch it crystalise and feel the warmth, immediately.
Furthermore, the Saab hand warmer can be reused – just follow the simple instructions on the product for subsequent warmth on demand.
2) A free remote control Saab 9-3 SportCombi with any BSR ppc unit sold:
The BSR PPC or ‘Portable Program Carrier’ is a hand-held device which allows quick and effective performance tuning of your Saab.
The PPC is supplied preloaded with modified engine management software which, when downloaded to your Saab, allows increased engine power and responsiveness. You will notice the improvements to performance and driveability immediately.
Those BSR units are brilliant. I was looking at one for my Viggen and it would have delivered 44 more horses and over 70 more Nm of torque – it’s the best bang-for-your-buck boost you can get.
And those remote control SportCombis aren’t being produced anymore. Elkparts purchased the last remaining stock from Saab Expressions, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.
3) And especially for TS readers……10% off the genuine Saab Expressions umbrella PLUS buy one, get one free!!
The Saab Expressions umbrella is a brilliant winter accessory. I know this because I’ve got one. It’s big, strong, has the 9-3 SportCombi’s Aero handle pattern on the interior as well as a clear panel so that you can see where you’re walking in the rain.
Elkparts are already offering these umbrellas as a two-for-one, but as a special for TS readers only, John’s taking a further 10% off the price:
This is already a cracking offer, but we wanted to go one better for readers of Swade’s excellent TrollhattanSaab.net blog, so we are giving a further 10% off anyone ordering this product who quotes “TrollhattanSaab 10% umbrella discount offer” in the notes section of their order.
To qualify, place your order online and quote “TrollhattanSaab 10% umbrella discount offer” – we will then apply the discount when we come to process your order!
This is a fantastic offer and a near perfect idea with Christmas just around the corner.

If you want to keep abreast of the latest gear and special offers at Elkparts, they’ve also got an Elkparts blog running where you can get the latest info. It’s got an RSS feed so you can subscribe to it, too. That way you won’t miss a thing.
Welcome back, Elkparts!!

I did notice they no longer carry the cool Griffin stickers/decals:( I had always added those
to my orders because they were cool . Great selection although a bit far away for us in the states.

They’ll be back soon! They proved to be so popular that we ran out of stock, so we have removed them from the shop until the new ones arrive.
Keep an eye on the store, and they’ll be back hopefully during November

I bought a r/c sportcombi for my brother two weeks ago. He works at a school as a sort of substitute teacher and brought the little toy to school one day… What a great way to introduce the SAAB brand to the next generation. It was surprisingly fast for a r/c car of its size. Great fun!
Too bad the color did not match my 9-3.
