That Edwardian Grey is my second favourite SAAB colour. I especially like it with the body coloured Airflow kit.

Very nice car! Was it always like that, or have you done it up to that standard while you have owned it? I'd love to see some old(er) pictures.

thanks. No it was a standard 900 T16 not an aero. I would try to find and scan old pictures when I bought it in 1999

That is a stunning SAAB that you have. Looks like a lot of hard work has gone into it. Keep up the great work!

I would love to have a nice Aero/Airflow 900T at some point in time :-)

Did you make a custom exhaust header? Any performance improvements over the stock header?

that's definitely not a stock intercooler there. what is it and how good is the airflow across it?

With a headlight in front of it, I can't imagine the airflow is that great over it. But it certainly looks a LOT nicer than the stock c900T intercooler!

about 500 CFM , sure a FMIC is a better location but as there is also water injection so there is no problem at all with intake air temp
