Good Morning Folks from fiatphil - 09/02/2015 06:12

Howdy everyone. Just joined the forum after a 600 mile round trip to pick my 20vt. Always wanted one and waited for the right one to become available. Still a few things need sorting but I'll address these things in other posts. I've had plenty of quickish cars in the past and I'm currently switching over having owned quite a few tuned Saab's. Some of you may already know this car as it has an FCCUK sticker on. Anyhoo here she is.....

Hi Phil - welcome to the forum

Do you know the forum name of the previous owner?

You're just up the road from me (Rugeley) so if you ever need anything (including ECU codes read / reset) give me a shout

Cheers chaps, Rugeley only a couple of miles away from me. I'll keep my eyes open for you. I'll have a look on previous MOT ect for the blokes name. The last owner was a friend I know through the saab community but I doubt he registered here.

Thanks for the warm welcome peeps. Really enjoying the car. It makes a magnificent noise with the Aftermarket Cat back. Going to sort boost issue the weekend with a Dawes device ball and spring MBC and fit the the Squadra chip hopefully. HIDs on order too as the lights really are poor.

Found out the car has spent most of its life in Scotland (Linlithgow as I know the 2 previous owners), but the owner before that was called Mr Craig and was from Aberdeen. Could be a bond car LOL!

Love the Saab. A friend had the same model and it was chipped to about 270bhp. Is yours modded?

wave I've been here a while now as had a couple of coupes in my time and despite the fact that I haven't had one for 5 years (obviously spent most of those years in Saab ownership) I still hang around here!

You can never leave now!!!!!!!!!! laugh

looking at the pictures of your saab 9000 it reminds me of the two lancia thema turbos I used to have.Both the saab and lancia share the same chasis I believe but the saab is a bit heavier.

Yeah i think they are about 1475kg for the aero. My other one below (photo taken at blyton park) is stripped to the bone though and should weigh 1100kg in theory.
