  1. C900 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Hey everyone! I've got a 1988 Saab 900 SPG/Aero and I'm trying to fab up a headlight intake. Does anyone know of a source for a plastic lens to replace the OE glass lens? Does such a thing even exist? Will I have to make it myself? If so what would be the best material to use?
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Perhaps this should fall under the heading of questions which I am too stupid to ask but (apparently, I'm not).... I have and OBCD device which provides output to my phone via an app showing me all sorts of real time information about the status of my engine, other bits while the car is...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So as an update the 05’ Arc is getting a complete engine rebuild. Smoked the piston rings and the cylinder wall had some lines. So she’s getting bored out and built. Bearings, pistons, the whole shebang. Now I’m looking towards my clutch and flywheel as the weak points of the build. Car has 156k...
  4. NG900 & OG9-3 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    My ‘99 9-3 SE could use a suspension makeover. Ordering a set of B6 shocks/struts, as well as new assembly housing. Bushings and motor mounts will be changed. As for the sway bar, the links will be replaced. Any recommendations on the anti roll bars? Would prefer a kit

  6. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    First post, Excited to see what people have to say. Ok, so I've had my 9-3 Arc for a few months, and I know I'm going to keep this car basically forever.

    Let's say, hypothetically, that I have a best friend named Schröder. Let's also say that Schröder is a 2001 9-3 Viggen 3dr hatchback. Just out of pure Platonic altruism, I want to increase Schröder's performance to, let's say, 500hp. Obviously gonna get a chip tuning, but in terms of intake...
  8. 9-5 Workshop
    Ok so I have an 01 Saab 9-5 wagon, it had the b308 and an auto that was broken. Got the silly idea in my head to swap a manual into it. I was in the process of doing that when I was in an accident and lost my left hand. Now I’m finally getting back to it and I have a totally different kind of...
  9. C900 Workshop
    So, everywhere I go, they only offer go fast stuff for 1986+. I have a darling little 1984 8V turbo sedan, and I'd like to add just a bit more oomph to her. I'm not looking to build a Super Saab™ or anything. Maybe boost to 180hp. Just for better freeway speeds. But, it seems I might be barking...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So in the next month I'll be upgrading / refreshing suspension on my 06 9-3 aero. Unsure if I should go with coilovers (Ksports or megans) or regular suspension. Maptun right now is offering Bilstein B8s with their springs for only $730, while K sports are about $900 (Not including strut mounts...

    Intercooler comparison, drop-in vs FMIC. Saab 9-3 V6 Aero, 06. This test was made to see which kind of intercooler upgrade perform best on a car that have a full size intercooler positioned between AC condenser and radiator from factory. Is it a full size performance intercooler positioned...
