I picked up a 2nd car to get around since the Prix has some extensive mods now and its getting even more (heads/cam/and all that good junk).

So its a 2001 Saab 9-5 base/Now Aero. Love or hate the looks, the car is absolutely awesome, fun little car to drive, I love the Car. Its quiet on the inside (couldn't hear the cops sirens the other day when sitting at a light) and rides pretty smooth. Its got the Turbo 4 with about 160k miles on it now. It has the winter package and the Hardon-Krapon 9 speaker system, plus all the other options that it could have. Gem in the rough really. Previous owner took damn good care of this car. It only needs a tie rod right now, but other than that the thing is damn solid. I'm pretty much done effn' with it and will probably stay this way.

Current Mods
Exterior:
Orange Overlayed turn signals
Black painted grille
Bronze painted wheels
Aero skirts/Aero rear bumper
Mach 1 custom front lip (that doesn't really fit)
A bunch of stickers cause I'm cool
35% tint
OEM Saab roof racks
Abbot racing rear spoiler
h7r 55w 4300k HIDs

Interior:
Ipod tape hook up
Boss POS all-in-one 1200w sub
Wheel skinz cover

Engine:
Open Air intake
Resonator delete
*Its going to need a turbo in the spring and a new downpipe, so I went ahead and bought a TD04 turbo and will buy the 3" downpipe, and will probably throw the upgraded inlet pipe on just for fun (since its cheap), then tune it.

Suspension:
Brembo Aeros up front with Hawk HPS
Brembo base in the rear with Hawk HPS
*Bilstein with Aero springs in the Spring

I may upgrade the bushings and sway bars down the line overtime, but for now I'm going to go back to working on the Prix.

Pictures at dealer



At home completely stock:




And how it sits now:
Bought my first DSLR camera, went out and had fun with it today, learning alot, some photos are awesome, some are so-so

I missed all the colorful leaves on the trees though.

*Hate the stickers, I just did cause I felt like it, I'm probably gonna ditch them soon

The bronze wheels threw me for a loop. I like them, but way different. I don't like the black grille, though, as for me, it cheapens the look of the car. Yeah, these cars are notorious for losing turbos. They changed suppliers and when they did...problems up the ying yang. I love the 9-5, though...it is a solid car.

I think that is an awsome SAAB. I like the stocker collage and what youve done with it.

Yeah that lip wasn't meant to be on my car. Its a Mustang Mach 1 lip, I tried heating it up and working it out but nothing. Its on for now, until I find a reasonable price on an AERO front lip.

Thanks everyone for the compliments

I've said too much already.

I don't know if the deal will go through or not, I've sourced something out for my next project, but he has about 5 people clamping at the bit for it apparently, so I may have lost it.

It was an E30 with a dead engine but a ton of M3 parts like the 5 lug spindle and some of the mounts, the LSD diff and what not.

My dream project is an E30 with a fully built VQ35HR running on E85.
