    I had my front wheel off today to check on something and noticed this writing on the suspension spring KYB RH2920 http://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/kyb-834280.html# I have always thought the front looked a little high so googled the part number and every website says "not for sport...

    Hi folks, Those of you who follow the forum closely will know I've recently bought new springs mounts and bearings for the front end. I had them fitted today and drove away quite pleased with how the car felt, until I hit some rough road and heard a loud thud from the passenger side when it...

    I have fitted a small amp (2x100w RMS) in my 2008 93 aero to run a pair of 6x9s on the parcel shelf. Trouble is I am now getting interference/feedback through the speakers. When the amp is powered up I get a constant ticking noise, kind of like morse code. Then when i start the engine I get a...

    Hi all, Just thought I would share my pics of the DRL's I fitted a few weekends ago and would be interested in what people think of them. They are an 80mm diameter COB (Circuit On Board) LED ring and have been wired up with an independent switch so that I can turn them off if needed. I have...

    Hi, I have seen alot of these threads around but yet no-where can i find someone that has actually fitted aftermarket HID's to a Saab 93 in the UK. I have a 2007 Vector Sport Anniversary 150 1.9 TID, and pretty much the only thing it doesnt have equipped are OEM HID's. I have found some...

    I got a full set Hankook Ventus evo2 k120's today. size 235/45R17 97Y Wondered if anyone had some experience with these. One thing I did notice is that there isn't a whole lot in the way of rim protection as with other brands. Any insights into durability etc would be of intrest. Thanks

    Hi, I have a 2006 9-5 with Xenon headlights fitted. The issue I have is that the auto levelling on the headlights defaults to the lowest position, after some reading I assumed this was the CoG sensors. After jacking up the car I have not been able to able to find the sensors! I have looked...

    Just though I would share my pics on the new pedals I fitted. The rubber ones where never that great and on my old Civic Type R I much preferred the metal pedals I fitted. Couldn't justify the expensive of the Hirsh ones so I opted for the same ones I had in my Civic. Took a while to fit them as...

    Afternoon, I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I recently shelled out for a new inlet manifold and swirl actuator, while i was getting that fitted i thought i'd get the timing belt, water pump and thermostat (was going to do this myself but gave to the garage as they...

    Project Hirsch 'replica': Finally fitted the Hirsch rims as I thought summer had arrived... Opted for Potenza's (235 40 19's), the car definitely feels more planted with the wider tyre and no difference in comfort/uncomfort when going over speed bumps compared to the previous 225 45 18's...

    Hi, Sounds weird but I always like having my phone where it can be viewed for GPS purposes. All to often I see people looking down or to the side and not paying attention. After trying to find a solution due to the way the aircon flaps are designed I opted for an expensive solution. It was a...

    Hi, I've just fitted my 3" downpipe and I need to now get to the exhaust shop 30miles away to have the rest welded up. It's bad enough that I was planning to drive the whole way with only a downpipe fitted but when I fitted the downpipe I think I may have cross threaded a bolt and they are so...
  19. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Well it has taken me long enough and the best excuse i have is i was waiting for the weather to improve, in fairness you need to be careful with plastics in cold weather, especially plastics that are 10 years old - need treating with a little respect. Right then, having removed the centre air...
