SAAB 9-3 Aero Story

[Mr_Mischif]

This doesn't understeer as badly as most FWD cars do. I might've mentioned it earlier, but it has passive rear wheel steering.

Yeah, but were you to drag it, it couldn't put its power down as well, and you can't get MAD JDM TyTe DORIFTO with it.

I totally want to drag and drift my SAAB!!!

This isn't JDM...it's SDM!

VooDooXII you plannin on modding it up, I just purchased my first mod today picking up a ARB. I dont know about your car or not but my shit has all kinda body roll. That 25.5mm ARB should fix that right up though

Your is the 9-3 2.0t hatch right? I'd imagine that the Viggen wouldn't have much roll. The Aero/Viggen models have stiffer suspension and they sit lower. Mine doesn't feel too bad at all, possibly due to the Aero package.

I am planning on a few modifications. A BSR PPC Reflash, a Simons exhaust system, some coilovers just to bring it a little lower, and some 18" BBS RK wheels. I saw a video with a 9-3 with that setup...they got around 250 bhp, and that'd be great for me.

I'm going to do a few cosmetic mods too...tinted tails, except for the flashers and reverse lights, window tints, and I want to see if I can get my hands on a 2006+ Aero steering wheel. I love how those look with the aluminium accents and thumb grips. I found one on genuinesaab.com, and all of the same buttons are there...so I don't think installation will be that big of a problem. No way in hell I'm doing it myself though.

Like I said earlier...I plan on keeping it clean.

Hah, good to see another SAAB owner. Seems like I've had the only SAAB at the meets that I go to. That could be good actually.

Yea mine is the 9-3 2.0T HOT and yea its a 2 door hatch. I think the newer models 2003+ are a different body and chasis than my car. Even the Viggens of my year have the same issues. If you go to GenuineSaab.com you will see for the Viggens for my year the best mod is the VRK Kit (Viggen Rescue Kit) it comes with a 6 point subframe brace, steering rack clamp, and the ARB i just got. They say once that kit is installed you have what really should have come from the factory in the first place.

Glad to hear your liking your aero I wanna check it out for sure sometime. Ive got a buddy from my VW group that rocks an 88 900 turbo that I get to talk saabs with since he brings it out since his dubs are broke
