The front shocks were replaced as explained in the video, 170.000km later still no similar sound, so definitely some bad early samples :) Other then that, one upper control arms have been changed, I think that also made it "clunk", it was like one year ago. But our still feels very solid for it’s age and mileage :)

Lesjöfors 30mm lowering springs, might be somewhat more compressed since my car is a diesel. I think 19s is nice on this car, 235 35 19, also sits good in corners. But you off course sacrifice ride quality and I take is more careful over bumps. I think 18-19 is nice, some people even run 20, but I don’t like the rubber band tire look.

google "tailgating" ....an American social event 😊 i think in Europe "tailgating" is following someone too closely, but we call that ridin' ass 😆

I guess you have a f13 transmission, go by that number and find what is recommend for your transmission. :) I have not worked on it. Can’t hurt to change the oil.

I guess they are fairly much the same, but here the equivalent osram bulbs are "much" more expensive.

@@jobathano1660 I am looking at the same price for these and the Osram 50w each total 100w LEDs that come either in 4300k or 6000k.

No it’s not the bose system, I know the speakers are different, but if the amp under the seat is a standard amp, I guess it’s the same ohm. If they are not blown, I am not sure if it’s an upgrade if you are also not upgrading to a new amp.

It’s 19inch, china rims with inspiration from BBS I guess, tried to get a new set, but was not available. Local importer I think with own branding.

@@jobathano1660 i meant the steering wheel

eBay, seller saableather on ebay

Rims? Swedish ABS rims, I don’t remember the Modell name.

Because I tried finding 2ohm speakers, but searches did not give many results. I also don’t want to upgrade amp, because it’s to much work, so I think you can’t really get to much sound out anyways. So needed speakers that works with a factory amp, and not high wattage speakers.

No sorry I don’t remember, 1-2cm I guess.

@@jobathano1660 Thanks anyways! I ended up replacing my antenna with a plug which i painted in the body colour. :)

If your car was not delivered with those speakers, it’s possible the cables are there. I would look into mounting parts from a parts car with those speakers for a simple install.

Yes, but it won’t last forever. And if you get something on it, you don’t want to scrub to hard.

Just pull slightly on the cables i think.

it’s the sohc 8v same as i have in my one and it doesn’t have swirl flaps

@@freddiesowden1782 ...thanks they are not very common out here but thank goodness for RUclips and the great people out there who are so happy and willing to help others. I found that the turbo was leaking into both sides and number one cylinder has a bent exhaust valve. Once they are fixed I will have to dig it because I suspect that the camshaft sensor is also shot.

As Freddie said, no swirl flap on my 8v engine. Otherwise swirl flap delete is common.

No not really. I think its more to do with worn synchros. A gear oil change with new correct oil is probably a better option.

Yes i think its just red, one of the thick ones.

Anything over 4000k is xenon territory, 6000k led.

Its a Crescent Virgo, early model. Nice boat, I like the cockpit, size and hull. Perfect for Nordic climate.

Headlights, some interior parts, springs, shocks, suspension arms, some electric stuff, all kinds of bolts and hardware. Some used stuff, like doors and hoods.

It’s a nice experience and atmosphere, and people coming so far to attend. All along the west cost you can spot the Saabs coming from other countries traveling towards Trollhattan. :)

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, did a paint correction myself, got most of the swirl marks away, just takes so much time and patience. Then ceramic coated it, then I should maybe wax it to give it the final gloss. So it looks fairly good now, especially in the shade on camera. But it’s a 18 year old car with 353.000km, so if you look closer it’s far from perfect, but good enough for me :)

What do you need help with?

​@@jobathano1660 it seemes that you know a thing or two about 9-3's. Just wanted to have a chat as a enthusiast to a enthusiast.

@@jobathano1660 im going to buy one in a week , it says water in the fuel on the dash does that mean walk away

Thanks for sharing

No

Yes

Yes, I have done it earlier.

What would you call it then?

@@jobathano1660 why you peaple look on outside all the time? fenders and all visible body most is esay repleceable, you fight for few rust bublles, in reality underside can be completly rotten breaking car in half while visible pristine. that rust is nothing

I think drivers have gotten more used to it or lights like this. In 2016 a lot of people would flash because it maybe looked stronger, even though not blinding like with a regular highbeam :)

No not many, but last time I was looking into it I could not find any. So seems to be some ok options now :)

Yes they do, not really tried any modern led bulb that is weak. But this is not overly bright like many bulbs.

@@jobathano1660thanks for your reply and honesty! Well I’ve been on an led frennzzyy to say the least lately and I’ve found some interesting option and uses for them. My primary reason for even wanting to replace my license plates lights was because I have a sound system which draws a lot of power and causes dimming of all the lights and it’s a visual eye sore especially at night time. How I found to counter act this problem and mask the issue is by implementing the use of led bulbs in place of the Oem halogen . But not just any ordinary led, this includes osram& Philips, they are insignificant for my purpose, which is sad since they do provide some of the cleanest warm color temperatures that I’m after without being overly bright, which is the opposite of what most people seem to be after lol. I hate the super bright led look especially in a future classic car that never had any such equipment! The problem i found in my testing this last week with osram/philips bulbs was they are lacking the fundamental component inside them which a lot of other cheapo led bulbs actually do come with, I was just as surprised as you might be once you are made aware of this, they don’t have what’s called an “ Ic “. This ic is basically a current regulator chip that works on a wide range of voltages spanning from like 6volts-24volts. What it means is the light bulbs light output remains constant no matter if you are supplying it with 12v or 24v. These types of bulbs are perfect for what i was after. The only issue with them is they are extremely bright so what I did is basically point it 180degree in the opposite direction to where the heat sink is nearly pointing toward the ground in the case of the license plate lights and I’m able to achieve a near perfect illumination😁 actually depending on how much I rotate the bulb in the housing gives me a large window of output to set it at. And with meter I’ve actually set them to be just a tad dimmer than what the halogen bulbs were outputting so that way the copper got to really squint to read my plates or that Karen who’s trying to see me behind bars 😂 sorry this was so long but it could help someone who sits thru this mumbojumbo as I wish i had someone tell me this sooner I could have saved a month of trials* and tribulations 😂😂😂😂

Yes I get your point. There is a point where leds started to get too bright, applies to headlight bulbs as well. I don’t like them too bright either. Bulbs with a constant current regulator is better, as you say the output stays the same :) I think it will make the led last longer, but I guess rest of the components die first instead.

Yes, they are good for what they are and price. I always just change before inspection :)

But isn't an aftermarket xenon a fail too?

Yes I want to try that.

If you’re going to do that, keep in mind that it’s recommended to choose high-quality film with self-healing properties and to have it installed by a professional to ensure it’s applied without bubbles or wrinkles that could affect light transmission, in order for your experiment to be fair.
