Hello from USA

Legg inn av *AUTO-MAGIC* » 16 aug 2006, 18:04

Hello, sorry for the English. :oops:

I wanted to say hello and show you my SAAB.

i hope this is in the correct forum. :o

the car is a 2002 Saab 9-3 SE/Aero, with turbo anniversary package.
Original is 205 HP, but now I have added Nordic Stage 3+ and have about 270 HP and 370Nm torque! Also I added the European aero spoiler and wheels, plus viggen styling and many other changes. 8)

if you can see some photos of my viggen front and rear, it has been specially modified, all black with no gray strips. :twisted:

thank you ! 8)

now before anyone can notice and make a joke... yes it is automatic shift but please beleive me, with all the modifications it is really auto-MAGIC. :P :lol: I had to be different than the others :roll: :lol:

so have you ever seen viggen front/bumper like this? :twisted:

I had a broken bumper from a friend and the gray part was broken beyond repair, so I had the auto shop remove it and then make it very smooth. and then the rear bumper was done to look the same.

now can someone tell me, my car is lowered 35mm with a Koni springs/shocks kit... can I fit some of those 19 inch Hirsch wheels or is there no room for them?

Hi Dan!!

Nice car!! 8)

I have heard that 19" inch wheels might touch the rear wheelhouse on the five door models.
I can try it out for you as I have some 19" Hirsch here at home and I'm shure Lars Esten wants to se them on his car ;)

Welcome Dan. :lol: As I said before. I like your car...

I'm wondering of investing in a luggagecarrier/roof rack too. Not only nice in a sleeper-way but even practical. 8)

no, not the gary fisher. :lol:

I have a K2 bike, I don't remember what model. Also my wife has a mountain bike. my bike has drilled disc brakes like the fast cars :shock: and a full suspension in front and rear. it works very well for a beginner like me. 8)

here is my car from 3 years ago at camping vacation: (before the viggen styling)

This was in the state of Maine, USA... a very nice peaceful place and we rode our bikes all over the mountain and in the forest 8)

I would like to know and to see that very much if you are able to get any photos. 8)

Hi Karsten! the sleeper effect is very powerful. Now that I have removed the rack for some car shows this summer, the young boys with very large wings on their Honda and Subaru cars seem scared of my Saab. :roll: before with the rack mounted, all of these guys thought my car was some slow car and then they got a surprise. :twisted:

About those 19' hirsch.
A dude here in town have 19' fitted on a 900 turbo which is lowered pretty much.
Those rims are to big.
Noises are heard when driving, as the rear tires are thouching the wheelhouse.
I would not recommend it.
