Have you found a windshield yet? We were thinking about picking up a 9-4x Aero this weekend but I just stumbled on this thread and it scared me.

Oops. I guess I've kind of fallen out of the whole online car forum thing. Somehow I got this notification via e-mail though so I figured I'd say Hi. I think I've got TWO new Saabs in my life to...

Give me some doofy sunglasses and a few beers and I start posing like this.

That engine is toast. There's no such thing as non-catastrophic timing belt failure on these engines. Bummer, looks like a nice car.

The valves are almost indefinitely bent. If you tried to crank...

Did you know that 3.2l V6 is a bored out version of the GM 54-deg engine in your 9-5? Recognize the timing cover?

Meh. Not what you want to hear but I'd say it's kind of normal for the V6. Mine stalled like that pretty often. Run a bottle of Techron concentrate through with your next fill-up. That helped mine...

Right now my main pair are some Optic Nerve "Krones." I got them at EMS. They retailed for like $60. They were marked wrong, plus I used my student ID discount so I walked out of the store with them...

I have been having a field day with an app called "Pano" on my iPhone. You can click on them and go to my Flickr account to see the "Original" sizes.

This is from today, things are starting to...

I had a FEW extra dollars burning a hole in my checking account so I randomly decided to have the center resonator deleted from my '04 Aero. I brought it to a local custom exhaust shop and they sawed...

Yeah, I've been pretty busy lately. Plus SC went down hill so I backed way off and it took a little while for SW to get going, but it looks promising now.

Haha, I didn't even notice that. I think I had the seat moved forward to vacuum under it. It usually looks more like this:

I put a 5+ lb corned beef in my slow cooker and let it cook for 11 hours. Had a bunch of friends over and had a great time!

You can't camp in your car on the showfield. But you can camp in your car if you get a $15 camping spot.

Umm, YAH! I'll be there. I went last year and had the best weekend of my life. I also came home with lots of new friends from my area.

I'll play!

Not a very flattering picture, but here's Mitchell Saab in Simsbury, CT at their annual "Swedish Beauty Contest" last October.

They are 225/45-17's. Stock tire size for the 9-5, but those rims are from a 2005 9-3ss Aero. They stick out a tiny bit more than the 9-5 rims. I uploaded some other pictures of my car in my...

I just did another sump drop on a 2001 Aero 5-spd with my friend this weekend. I got scared when I saw the reinforcement plate under there but this one had the punch marks so we just gave them a few...

Hey I know you! :thumbsup:

I got all my parts from eEuro and I think they were around $220.

40k!? It doesn't need a serpentine belt yet. Unless it's making noise. Water pump would be the last thing I'd look at if you're getting a low coolant message. More likely your coolant bypass valve is...

Haha. I'm going to Middletown for dinner and drinks with some friends tonight. I live in Coventry at the moment. How soon do you need to do it? What's your car's mileage?

Haha, I might be willing to help. Where are you in the big CT?

My friend and I ordered tensioners from eEuro within a week from each other and both of them had lock keys in them. They're not Allen's though. Just round/smooth.

That sucks. Did you try the tape method? I just did this last week on my friend's Gary Fisher and we struggled with it too until we figured out the optimal tape application. On mine I literally taped...
