Getting the Swede some Stance...

[shmoo shoe]

great saab, and i love what you've done under the hood. looks perfect.

From a show a few weeks ago. Fronts are dialed down, rears had a half inch of adjustment left. Opinions and ideas welcomed!

[keeton]

I think it looks good just like that, considering the fact that you need to get power down...narrower tires wouldn't do you much good. Maybe more lip, same tires, roll/slight pull, and lower...but are the fronts all the way down?

Sweed looking car! How does it handle the corners?

Luv' the fact that it's a cabrio, welcome.

Oh, and your second project is à great car too!

[DinanDave]

Wow that's a beautiful SAAB!!!

[Masquerade]

That's a real clean-look.

i c al the work under the hood, still needs a hood tho

this is far too clean

[IronJoe]

Thanks guys!


Rolled the rear fenders and did some trimming. Going to be relocating the rear axle 10mm to better center the wheel in the wheel well, should allow me to dial the rear collars all the way down and still be drivable.


Also got my rare hood (dual vent, badgeless) professionally repainted. Pics soon.

i am a big fan of this. i have a saab sonett III that i was looking at getting an extra pair of springs to cut to get it lower because i cant bring myself to cut up the stock ones on something so rare.

So, I suck at updating this.

Leavenworth last year was a blast. I was selected for the "premiere" lot which was a nice honor.






Blew the transmission (again) on the day I was to get tuned & dyno'd. Failure looks like I stripped a few teeth of third gear without noticing (wtf?) which cracked the case, caused all the trans fluid to leak out, and destroy the box.

I took almost a whole year to rebuild it (my e30 M3 keeps me pretty busy!) Instead of just a trans swap, I decided to change some things up, most notably swapped out the ancient T3/T4 hybrid to a olset HE351CW and built a new 4" downpipe (the first on a c900 I believe).

Can't wait to see what she'll do! 500hp should be no sweat.

VERY NICE! Been watching this since your 1st post. I've ALWAYS loved the 900s but they never had enough aftermarket support for me to buy. You've done some serious work! Be sure to update us wit your dyno numbers

Curious about the output of this engine!

[IronJoe]

The car made it to the Saab Owners Convention in Redmond, OR earlier this month. Here's a nice pic from the show with my tuner at the wheel

It's currently tuned at a low-boost 17psi, and it's quick. He is thinking by 30psi it may break 500whp.

thats a nice saab... i like the dark gray color...

I'm a terrible photographer but here's a few shots I took this weekend. The suspension is set at my typical driving height, a little higher than I usually keep them for pictures but oh well.
