    Hi! I just picked up a 2004 9-3 Arc 5 speed. I've been a long time fan of saab and had a 2003 9-3 from about 2005-2008. My DD is a Jeep Wrangler and I've been learning and wrenching on that a bit for a few years, but wanted another car to tinker with and have as another option for when I didn't...

    Hi everybody: I'm David, in Peterborough, UK I've just come back to Saabs (by buying a '93 black T16S convertible as a summer toy for nostalgia's sake) after a long gap. Started with an '85 saloon, then an '89 9000 hatch, an '87 saloon, a '91 900 T16S (much missed) an NG900 turbo hatch...
  6. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    2001 93 Aero HOT conv: Successfully removed the whole front spoiler and bumper plastic and repaired fog light mounts etc. Now it has to go back. If anyone's done it before is there a trick to pushing the bumper cover hard enough to get the plastic clips to go over the bumper metal - other than...

    http://www.saabplanet.com/saab-ab-returns-to-the-automotive-industry/ I do hope so. Iconic brand to just fade away doesn't seem right. Bought a 2016 Volvo S40 as could not find anything else i liked, something about Swedish cars, and yes i know he parent company is Chinese but the cars feel...

    Hello, I am happy to be back in the Saab world. I obtained a 2011 Saab 9-5 Aero 3 months ago and am really enjoying it. I used to have a 1987 900 turbo coupe and a 1991 9000 CD turbo. I plan to hang onto this one for as long as I can as I, usually, do my own work. So far I have gotten a new...

    My first car was a 96 V4. Then a 99 GL 2-door, then a 900 4-door GLE 5-speed (proudly proclaimed by the badge at the back), then a 99 EMS 3-door, before a run of non-Saabs. Back after a few years in a 9000i CC, then a 9000 CS Aero. By this time, my wife had started on her succession of 9000...

    Hello all, I haven't been on here since I had my OG 9-3 Convertible but now I was hoping some of you might be able to offer some advice to me about rejoining the 'Swedish way' !! :D It's hard to get good idea about Saabs on the wider internet, as some people just don't 'get it' but I would...

Long story short i had a boost problem where it would boost perfect one minute and pull the boost back the next, after working with John at JZW he came up with a Rev 2 map which solves the issue....

    Some of the longer term members may remember my travails with my spectacularly quick but temperamental GM900 3.0L V6 . Sadly she and I parted company about 6 years ago when I bought a P38 4.6L V8 Range Rover (I'm a glutton for punishment, it didn't do much worse to the gallon than the Saab and...

    Been putting this job off for a while now but as the nights are getting longer and the weather warmer, Its about time I sorted this out.
