Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

11.2 avg? get your foot off the floormat m8

3* hills and off road tires do not make for good gas mileage. And remember my gas mileage would be in the 20s before, and that's with me being a bit heavy footed at green lights. ;)

 

It's up to about 12.8 now though.

Since no one makes custom headlights for my gen 9-5 I'm probably going to tear apart my extra set, black out the housings, and add halos

I couldve had those, chrome ones, HID projectors or morettes

The 2 last ones are very expensive

It's one of the things I both love and hate about the Saab scene in the states. Not a huge aftermarket, but the DIY stuff I've seen is so cool

Likely staying SC. Not sure what size the future tire will be though.

 

If he's run the same size as the first round this year, then it's 225/45ZR17. I unfortunately missed the final three rounds so I can't confirm with certainty.

@RevoltTrain 9-5? As in Saab 9-5? Those Are funky!

Absolutely. Currently down but it's such a fun daily

 

Also have a 2000 9-5 Aero I picked up for parts, last photo is a comparison as to where it sits now and when I got it last fall. Did some mechanical mods along the way as well, intake, downpipe, upgraded turbo, tune, Aero Steering wheel, front lip, and I have a set of side skirts to put on it still

They did sell the 9-3 Aero with the 2.8L V6 in AWD but they're quite rare (Saab called it XWD for some reason but still AWD)

 

I really want a 9-2X Aero (WRX with a STI turbo, steering rack, and suspension with a Saab front end) or a 9-7X Aero (Trailblazer SS with Saab front end and interior)

TurboX is ideal but even harder to find than an Aero Turbo XWD

yeah, but they are more of a track car than a normal 2.8T XWD

cause come stiffer and lower and bigger brakes from factory

True, but that can always be remedied

 

Those TurboX wheels though
