did you own a viggen before?


I like the variation of slit 5 spoke wheels, and the new front is growing on me. in fact I just saw a pic of a new to come honda accord and it looks like they (and others) are starting to emulate it.

that's cool, didn't know they had such dealer packages. well... I wouldn't be surprised to find they don't offer that in the US or especially california. *sniff

Congratulations!

Amaizing car!
Many happy miles with it.
All dealers must do so.Great idea.:cheesy:

The wastegate thingy is interesting, no other tuner seems to specify these :confused:

Just a shame its an auto - looks great ;)

As for doing these mods yourself, you would void your warranty, which was a large chunk of the price paid :cry:

ok my question is this: who is the manufacturer for these upgrades in bold above? We need to find out b/c to my knowledge these can't be purchased anywhere. Well let me correct that:

Sway bars
- either they are Aero spec or, if they are bigger, who's the manufacturer so we can source these? The only one bigger than the Aero's was that guy "rayyang" or whomever that was in Asia trying to charge too much so we cancelled the group buy.

coilover kit?!?!?!
- there's a kit for 9-5's up to 2001 of course, but I've NEVER seen one for the updated hub design. Is the front suspension setup the same in the '06+ models as in the '02-'05 models? If so I want this coilover kit. Again, where do we source these?

strut bars
-
"moose"parts has a front strut tower brace, but that's the only one I've seen, and it's for left-hand drive cars. I've NEVER seen a rear one available. Lastly, where do we source these?

Everything else listed can be had aftermarket. If anyone can get some leads on this stuff it would be very helpful in the search! Cheers.

VIGGEN Sport Package...

VIGGEN Race Package...
couple thoughts...

...looks like a dealer's shot at a factory stage 3...or close. :confused: with the option of an upgraded suspension.

...hopefully they don't offer this power increase on the standard 9-5 suspension. :eek:

...i guess the dealer can do whatever they want, but not sure about the viggen badges. imo they look out of place.

...i've seen other brands offer special "dealer packages" although this is VERY rare. i doubt you'd see this on a audi, volvo, bmw. and you have to be careful with servicing and warranty claims as other dealers may not honor the selling dealerships coverage.

...nice seats and nice car!

actually... I would do it myself. ;)


but that doesn't take away from the fact that many, yourself included, might prefer to purchase such a vehicle new set up like that straight from a dealer. and when that is an option it's cool to have.

I understand what you say... But you have to buy the car NEW to have that! It's nice to do it with the dealer, because you don't have any warranty issues... ;)

The adjustable wastegate look like my KINETIC... I have a Dodge SRT-4 also and the best wastegate on market right now for my SRT-4 is the KINETIC, you can put 30 lbs of boost on it without any problem, just turn the bolt's! Hahaha... It's look so similar??? Ummm maybe it's the same...

Automatic trany... Do you ever try the new Sentronic 5 speeds trany? It's a wonderful trany set-up that allows manuel gear changes using paddles on the steering wheel like F1 style and the current gear is indicated on the instrument panel! It's probably faster than the old manuel primitive gear box to tell you the true... ;)

Yeah your right, the warranty is ligit when you do the works at the dealer, but you pay the price also! :lol:
