Well its time to start modding the Saab 9-3 that I got to replace my VW. From what I have seen I will have one of the only "modded" NG900, OG9-3 in the ATL. My goal is to have a nice daily driver with some pep.

First I got it tinted 15% all around and got clears up front


Also got new tires - toyo proxies
ThenI hooked up my old sub/amp and rear 6x9s out of the jetta.Now it sounds great =)
I might upgrade the amp to the component speakers as the stock amp kinda blows


Next up is the suspension...
I picked up a 25.5mm Anti-Roll bar and got that installed because the body roll was GARBAGE.
The car also has incredibly annoying Tq steer so I picked up a Steering Rack Clamp brace from a Saab tuner that replaces the stock rubber clamp for a fully machined metal bracket with an added brace attached to the wheel well.

Now that it drives pretty nice I want it to corner much better, so I ordered a set of Koni adjustables and vogtland springs to lower it and stiffin her up.
The car’s suspension is extremly soft stock.
This should be on tomorrow night so ‘Ill get some more pics up.


Also got a new front lip on the way. Whats funny is that the lip that I ordered is the an Integra ITR Front Lip. JDM Tyte Yo who woulda thought that it would match up to my car just right.

I plan on getting this to a nice stage 3(stock turbo full-bolton with tune). Im shooting for about 225-235whp. I’ve already got plans to take it to the Dyno on monday for some baseline numbers. I also plan on getting a custom 3" turboback in the next couple months.

I’ll keep this post updated with some pics as I get some more done
