    Saabs financial difficulties.

    Being a Saab nut myself, I would be extremely sad to see Saab disappear. After seeing their exhibit at the NY auto show and seeing the general interest and amazement by the Phoenix Concept, I thought they were back on track. It seems as though Saab's days are numbered now.. :(

    turbo question

    Yes, you can. I myself have a 1995 900 SE turbo, with a TD04 ^6cm exhaust housing from a 9000 aero on it. You have to fab up a custom intake pipe and your intercooler tubes will need a bit of adjusting. The hardest part is clocking the TD04 wastegate to work on the NG900 downpipe. I myself...

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    The IC I have no idea why I have not done it sooner. Laziness I suppose. The 3" DP is because of money :bigsmile: I will keep an eye out for your build thread! I just cant wait till my last Exam is done to go home and start work on the new interior (secret).

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    It's been awhile since I have posted here, thought I should update. Put matching springs in the rear, car has settled down to a good height in the rear and the ride is much more predictable and comfortable. I have not done too much recently to the car. I added lamin-x yellow protectant over...

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    Well, deal fell through. Guy kind of jerked me around, I drove 3 hours home for him to then tell me the car sold, after he told me Sunday was a LOCK. It was going to be a 2000 silver 9-3 Viggen, but wasn't meant to be I guess. Someday I will own a viggen. As for convertible, perhaps that...

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    I am bad at updating this. Bought a set of 6000K HID's a few weeks back. Installed them with little to no issues, had to bend a pin on the headlight relay to avoid the "front bulb failure" message on the SID. At first they were... less than impressive. Once I aimed them however, I realized that...

    inexpensive horsepower tips

    Yeah too good to be true. All those superchip / horsepower chips are a hoax to me. I don't see how a generic off the shelf chip is going to affect fueling in a way to get any benefits out of it. Even "mailbox" tunes are all speculation on gains, as each car is completely different. Though a 300...

    Induction Modifications

    You could just make your own, to me 150... euros or whatever it is over there haha, is not worth an induction kit! You can fab your own up for much much cheaper... Not the best example, but this is what I fabbed up on my car. ignore the wire ties, they are merely there for mocking up to...

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    Thank you I appreciate all comments! And T9 yes I have heard that, and it makes sense. If I was to load up the hatch it would certainly press down even more. With 3 people in the rear and a hatch full of stuff, it would be slammed more than the front. When I go home for spring break I will...

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    The NG900 and OG9-3 platform has a notorious rake to the front, leaving more of a gap in the rear. I few people have had luck with intrax springs in the rear, and KONI springs in the front. Not a big deal right now, I will ride these for a while and see how they settle.

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    Okay here we go. Finished the suspension job last weekend. The Bilsteins are an upgrade as far as handling goes, but wow what a rough ride. I knew it was going to be rough but damn, I guess I will get used to it. On the bright side it handles soo much better than it did, night and day...

    Saab 1996 Convertible

    I might have a switch from a 1999 9-3 in my garage, might not be worth it to ship it out however. It should work, but the sunroof switch has a one touch forward option that might mess with it a bit. Wire the pack up, and give it a go, my guess is it will work fine, as the switch just needs the...

    My Saab 900 : Version 2

    It is really cool. Right now we just had a nice ice storm, roads are horrible, but looks beautiful out. Just giving an update for those out there that like to keep up with this! I got the car running again, turns out the IAT (intake air temp sensor) went bad. Car no longer misses/cuts, and runs...
