I didnt think they still ran them that late?  Didnt they all go Ecotec?  Or did I dream it?

 

Looks nice either way man.  Nice Sverging.

[twosmoke300]

Tis Saabs engine , well Saabs version of an old triumph design anyway

[sloth]

updaetz

 

 

sump ripped off and cleaned, thankfully old mate used a good garage as no shit in there. pcv pipes etc done, boost guage fitted, bolt mod done, solenoid bypass done, and sid repaired. badly. i misaligned it by 1 pixel so the clocks fucked. meh. also fitted a k+n and cold air feed as it was 1/4 the price of a gen filter..... 

 

its giving 19.6mpg on 98 and i drive hard. it drops madly off boost on the highway. 

 

will be getting a machine polish in a week, so ill blat some picz up then.

 

i know you guys arnt into mods but im just making it future proof. parts are silly exxy here.....

[Guest Lord Sward]

Noice.  

[sloth]

updatezor

 got the shit camera out and took some dogshit pics after a quick tart up.

 

   

 

fitted a headunit and some door speakers. need to throw my sub in as well.

made the grille, and fitted the pod filter. velcro'd the boost guae in and drove its tits off.

[Pillock]

Where's that air filter, behind the foglamp?

 

Won't that get wet, and then then you come on boost it'll slurp it all up into the turbo?

[sloth]

its now got a pre filter sock, and a big bit of alloy under it, like a giant air box. had rain for the first time in 4 months today aswell

[stephen01]

 had rain for the first time in 4 months today aswell

 

Oh No!

The new shape 9-3 went Ecotec with SAAB engine management, but the old 9-5 stuck with the SAAB 'H' engine til the end, which lives on in China!

 

 

 

Nope, it's a Alfalancisaab.

 

Vectra B underpinnings.

 

Car looks great for the money, are they even more unloved in Australia? There's decent parts backup in Europe but I guess they're an unloved orphan elsewhere in the world.

[sloth]

total unloved misfit here. it cost $75k new, the same as a holden caprice.....

[sloth]

so first ftp. ive done 4000kms since getting this. it decided today that the head to heater hose should be ventilated. 

 

 

hmmm battery tray needs fettling...

 

 

yep theres the issue. twat. parts shop doesnt list it. its unobtanium. cock.

 

but thats the right end etc.... cheers mr commodore.

 

joiny joiny bodge. works fine. total cost $45. 

 

next up, new front pads and some I.C.E....... 

[320touring]
