** New Member, New SAAB!! **

[B00ST2nR]

Hi guys. New member here with his first SAAB ever. Felt like introducing myself and a little about my history.

I've had many cars... more than I can keep track of but here are some that are worth mentioning.




I started off with a brand new 2000 Integra GS-R when I was in High School. Loved it. Totally got me into cars hardcore.


Long story short, I ended up fully building the motor, huge turbo setup, custom everything and was pushing ~500wHP in a 2600lbs car and a FWD layout. Torque steer was insane. No grip in the first 3 gears but on the highway, it was intense.







Hopped over to a brand new 2005 BMW E46 ///M3. Amazing car. Fell in love with BMW's and euros. Tuned with several mods.



















Sold it and got a 2006 BMW E60 ///M5. V10 EVOLVE Alpha-N Tuned with some mods. (Sold)



















Video of some friendly runs against my buddies Audi B5 A4 Stage 1+ Tuned V6 Bi-Turbo.

I've had several daily drivers. Some worth mentioning would be:




2003 Audi A4 1.8T 5-Speed Manual APR Stage 2+ Tuned with several mods. (sold)
















2006 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro 6-Speed Manual APR Stage 1+ Tuned (sold)











2006 VW B6 Passat 2.0T 6-Speed Manual APR Stage 1 Tuned (sold)

















2013 Mercedes C250 Sports (Wife's Car Currently)













2007 Mercedes E350 (Family Car Currently)















2011 Nissan GT-R Premium Tuned ~650hp. (Garage Queen Currently)

- EcuTek Custom GTC Ben Linney Tune 91 & 93 Octane Maps
- AAM Competition Resonated 3.5" Inch Mid-Pipes
- Boost Logic 3" Inch Turbo Inlets
- GotBoost 3" Inch Intake System
- Bosch 1050cc EV14 7-Hole Injectors
- C7 Full Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler / Side Skirts / Rear Valance

Now onto my newest addition.

I was in the market for a new daily driver and ran into an an opportunity to pick up a fantastic low mileage (Only 52k) Clean Title 2003 SAAB 9-3 2.0T ARC 6-Speed Manual in Steel Grey Metallic paint. Picked it up for a STEAL! Almost too good to be true.

I bought it then immediately installed a K&N Intake Filter and a VTune Stage 0. Car is a blast to drive around in and the tune is super smooth. Brian at Vtuner is a fantastic guy. Very professional, on-point and QUICK!

These 9-3 2.0T's are tout, quick little cars. Comfortable, good interiors and solid all around. I really like it.

Anyways, here are some pics of the car!
























Sorry for the long post and thanks for looking.

You've had some nice cars man! Great Pics. How much performance/economy increase did you notice after the K&N filter and the VTune? Been doing some research and thinking about doing this on my '05 Aero 5speed 4-banger and would love to hear what you think of it.

And welcome to the world of Saab!
