Hi all
Hi,
I'm new, I live in the UK and have always wanted a 9-3 turbo since my uncle used to constantly rant about them years ago. Now I have finally got my very own 9-3 SE 2.0 turbo! She was quite cheap so I had factored in some spend and work to be done. Replaced the CPS which was baffling the old owner as to how she ran beautifully cold but wouldn't run once hot..
Absolutely love the car but am still having some issues with it, any other car to be honest I would have already given up on but I really want to get this one running as it should!
I shall be posting over on the 9-3 forum about my latest problem if anyone can help!

Welcome! I have been to central and northern England, Wales and Scotland but never to the southern part of England. Looks like a nice to place to explore, definitely have to go there someday.
Gepe, what part of Scotland are you in?

Chris - yes a long way but at least we drive on the same side of the road!
There are at least two other "Newport" and one of these is not far from me (Fife)
Wulf - East Scotland near Perth & Dundee, Post Code PH13 9AS.
Should be seen on any on-line maps(!) but you will have to zoom in to see it.

I spent a few weeks in Kirkcaldy but that was 20+ years ago. Probably not much has changed though. I still need to visit Edinburgh some day.

NOT MUCH changes in Fife! Kirkcaldy is more of an Edinburgh suburb - no more linoleum or coal mining in that area but nice to visit. Very interesting coastal scenery - farming and small industry good fishing and golf.
I had some time in Arkansas Fort Smith / Little Rock more than 20 years ago and think what changes have happened there? Anyone know??
