Pops recently bought it at auction as a stolen and recovered vehicle and im in the process of sticking in all my car audio from my green Volvo 240 including Blaupunkt head unit, 2 12inch Sony Explod subs, kenwood amp and boxed 6X9s. Should be registered by tommorow
For those who are not familiar with Saab, it is a Swedish Automobile manufacturer which has been producing cars since the 40s. Before manufacturing cars, Saab started out as an aircraft manufacturer and has made various aircraft for civillian and military use, including the Viggen Jet fighter. Saab automotive division is now owned entirely by GM and their new vehicles are rubbish. The first generation of the 900 series vehicles manufactured by Saab were arguably one of the best handling cars from the 80s. The first gen Saab 900s were FWD but their engines were unusually set out as they sat in a reverse north-south configuration with the transmission sitting just below the engine (essentially a transaxle). This makes them very unique. Pity Saab nowadays is nothing close to what it used to be
Here are some specs for my ride...
Weight - approx 1200 kg
2.0 litre (1985 cc) sohc, slant 4 cylinder fuel injected B201 engine with 118 hp (87 kW) at 5500 rpm and 168 N·m (123 ft·lbf) at 3700 rpm
5 speed manual transmission
4 wheel disc brakes
My new Saab is in great condition and runs like new. Nice sounding exhaust as well (its got cat and only one muffler sitting just before the rear wheels). I think I will keep it for the most part stock unless I find some nice tri-spoke Aero rims at the wreckers or something. Hopefully should get some decent pics of the interior, engine bay and audio set up soon, in the meantime here are some crappy camera phone pics.
