My 2001 9-3 progress

My 2001 9-3 5-speed hatchback. Thought it’d be fun to share the progress I’ve made in just over a year of ownership on my third Saab :) Bought it for $750 with 123k miles. Sat for 4 years and had lots of issues. Blown turbo, low oil pressure, balance chain almost falling off, 15 year old tires, neglected suspension, no battery, & more. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

-new shocks, tie rods, sway links, MapTun lowering springs -PCV6 update, new power steering hoses -new connecting rod & main bearings, crankshaft seal, NGK spark plugs -full balance shaft delete -new engine mounts all around -new clutch, slave cyl, resurfaced flywheel, redline MTF, rear main seal -TD04-15t and king cobra swapped from a 2008 9-5 -GenuineSaab 3” downpipe, custom full 3” back exhaust -Forge diverter valve -SaabTunerScott “stage 3” mapped ECU -BBS RZ519 17x8 wheels with 25mm spacers And more that I’m forgetting about

Proud of the way it sits today and how well it runs. Balance shaft delete fixed the oil pressure too. I’ve got a lot more things I want to do to it, it never ends lol
