My girlfriend is buying her 99 9-3 out of the lease in a few weeks. I do not know anything about them because I guess I never took the time to learn because I always figured she would turn it in.

What are the basic mods to do for a stock car? itis a 5spd. I want to put wheels on(hint) and maybe some other things to make it go a little more. I am not planning on making it a ricer, but just a few things to add. TIA

Assuming it's a turbo of some description then there are several companies who can help you go faster.

www.abbottracing.com
www.hirschperformance.com
www.trentsaab.co.uk

are just a few of them. If you're planning on uprating the engine, think about the suspension too - particularly the Abbott steering clamp. As for wheels, the selection at www.saabcatalog.com (http://www.saabcatalog.com) should provide a few ideas.
