Hey everyone I'm new here. My name's Mike and I'm 19 years old, I do believe I have the honor of being the very first and possibly only Saab owner/tuner in this guild.

Specs on the 9000 as it currently sits stock are:
-200HP
-248 ft-lbs of torque
-FWD
-2.3L 4 cylinder turbo
-5 speed manual

My future list of mods include:

-New tires
-K&N cone filter
-Rising rate FPR
-Mitsubishi TDO4 turbo with a T19 wheel
-Larger front mount intercooler
-3" JT Exhaust turbo back with high flow muffler
-Oil catch can
-EPROM ECU fuel chip
-Lowering springs
-Black leather 9000 Aero seats and door panels
-Tinted windows
-Green giant Injectors
-Hyperboost bypass valve
-Taliaferro delivery pipe
-Taliaferro short shifter
-Taliaferro front strut brace
-Clear turn signals
-Smoked side markers
-HID headlight bulbs/foglight bulbs
-Walbro high flow fuel pump
-Repainted grill with mesh inserts
-MOMO steering wheel
-MOMO duke shift knob

Striked out things are things I already have

Things still left to fix/purchase are:
-New battery
-Left CV axle (axle boot ripped and it's starting to clack)
-I need a pulley, not sure which one yet but you can hear one humming
-Passenger side window regulator (completely missing the regulator, it's held up by a piece of wood lol it came that way when I got the car)
-Brake pressure switch
-Oil change and filter
-Adjust left front door handle (it won't open easily)
-Spark plugs
-Right fender (it's dented, it was the way it came when I got the car)
-Hood (clear coat is peeling off)
-Front brake pads
-Align shifter (it shifts but could use a little adjust to make it perfect)
-Left rear door lock motor (it just went out recently so it won't lock with the rest of the car, you have to push it down manually but I just picked one up I just haven't put it in yet)
-Windshield (has lots of cracks)

Things that have broke and or been fixed since I've had the car:
-Used fuel pump
-New crank position sensor
-New oil pump seal
-New crank pulley seal
-Passenger side window (the car was vandalized in a parking lot just before I got it, they only broke out the passenger side window thankfully)
-Used fog light
-New taillight bulbs

I'll try to take some more pictures later on but this is what I have for now, the car is a little rough cosmetically but with some more TLC it could turn out pretty nice.

I actually earned it for graduating from School, my step dad is a 35 year Master Saab Tech and it was a car he acquired through a customer of his. I'm surprised so many of you haven't seen Saabs, what states are you guys from? I see a lot of them here around Colorado. (x Thanks for the welcomes as well, glad to be here. cool

I always thought the guy avatars were difficult to dress to be honest. XD So I decided to go with a girl to gain more dress options.

Ain't to many here in Florida.. Mostly just modern Chevy, Ford, GMC, and Dodge trucks.. Everyonce in a while I'll see a Nissan Titan. Haha if you get to the suburbs I even saw one of those little mini cars.. Kinda lame..lol

I actually live in a small Colorado hick town, pretty much everyone here is all about trucks or anything American related. I got made fun of for driving my little Saab when I used to go to the High School, I was the only one with one. XD

Welcome....

I really would like to see, myself, what this thing looks like done. I see a lot of saab's out here in socal, but they are mainly driven by old people, and no one really uses it as a tuning platform. So, will be interesting to see it done.
