Club SAAB España

Hello.

I'm from Portugal, but i think it's better to write in English.

I had joined this forum to learn more about SAAB's, and meet new SAABers...


Here the history:

I bought a SAAB 9-3 S 2.0 LPT (MY2002) last year (June).

It has the standard equipment:
- 4x Airbags
- Cruise control
- ABS
- Electric windows
- Auto AC
- etc.

The engine is the 150bhp with GT17 turbo, with 125100km.
Now it has 156000km.


A few month later the changes began:

- LPG System (cheap to run, and fast as hell!!!)
- Lowering Springs (H&R), less 3,5cm;
- Central Armrest;
- Ipod adapter (AUDIOTROLL);
- SE Body Kit side skirts;
- 17" Alloys (SAAB ALU39) with 225/45 tyres;
- Uprated front brake discs from Brembo, with 308mm (same as the 9-3 Viggen and 9-5 Aero);
- New map on the ECU, Stage 1 from Hirsch; (230bhp and 330Nm)
- New suspensions SACHS Super Touring blue edition (they come by default in 9-3 with sports chassis);
- PFS Steering Clamp and Brace;

A think this is it.

The next planned upgrades are:
- SAAB Audio Upgrade Kit (4 to 6 speakers);
- Goodridge Stainless Steel Brakeline;
- Forge motorsport Dump Valve;

Si Neo...creo que la última vez que entre en compra-venta ofrecian potenciaciones en el foro portugués...

Cambiando de tema...no tienes fotos de Holanda.

Hola.

Yes, i'm member of "saab portugal clube", like "uksaabs", etc...

I think we can allways learn from each other...


Yes, the IPOD connection is made by Audiotroll. But the company closed.
It's cool, because it uses an ipod like a cd changer. You can control the IPOD from the steering wheel controls.
And the name of the music is display'd in the SID.

GPL is the best thing i done in the car.
Thanks to the GPL i can pay for all the upgrades that i put in the car.

I'm trying to better understand and write in spanish...

That sounds great!! It's possible to buy it through Ebay or similar??? Does it work in new models?

cachi,

yes, i think you can buy it from ebay.

You can use in the SAAB 9400 and 9600.

For newer SAABS, i think there are better solutions.

THe Audiotroll has some glitches... it jump out of cd mode to radio with any motive.... sometimes...

Thanks!
