vehicle description:

Hello and welcome to my listing, the time has come to part with this, the beast as my missus calls it, because I"ve bought a V6 version of exactly the same car (9-3 ss, black, manual, saloon)
Those who have seen it know I"ve put a huge amount of time, effort, and expense into this, several thousand, and I"ve not done 7k miles in it since I got it about 19 months ago.
Black, colour 170.96,500 miles, serviced about 2k ago with Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, this has an excellent HTHS rating on it. Extralube ZX1 added, some might dismiss it as snakeoil, but looking at it the other way, it can"t do any harm.MOT October but booked in mid September. Passed last year with no advisories, and has only had more replaced/upgraded since then 280Bhp / 330 lbft Saabnoob stage 3+ (this is as far as the stock aero turbo & injectors will go)Larger intercooler - Toyosports IC5006
Albert666 3 stainless steel downpipe with race cat, no need to swap at MoT time (passed emissions last year, with lots of tolerance to spare on everything)
Custom 3 cat back stainless steel system, with 2 boxes to try and keep some stealthinessCustom 3 stainless steel intake with air filter located in the front wing, MAF recalibrated by Karl (Saabnoob)Spec lightweight single mass flywheel, and uprated Maptun clutch, new genuine slave cylinder & box fluid at the time, 2stroke"s turret repair kit fitted tooPowerflex front engine mountBilstein B8 with H&R springs all round, new front drop-links, top mounts & bearings, new rear upper mountsStrut brace - rare, I believe there are now 9 of these in the UK, as a Saab forum guy brings these back from a fabricator in another country when he goes on holiday.New aerial fin, with smaller aero fins alongsideNew Varta 096 (diesel size) batteryRed theme under the bonnet: cam cover in crackle paint, intake silicone & small bore silicone in red too.New Genuine discs all round, all with new type Yellowstuff R pads.All weather matsFull LED conversion inside, outside front sidelights & side indicators too.Boost gauge fittedDoor & dash speakers upgraded, rears will be put back in for new owner. Facelift dash so 6CD changer fitted, no optics should you choose to do something with the stereo in the future.
Probably other things I"ve missed, it"s had silly money spent on it at times, the flywheel alone was £440, and to be honest wasn"t worth that, maybe £300, but I had to give it a go, not many in the UK have the Spec lightwweight flywheel so I guinea pig"d the idea.
Standard stuff:
6 speed manual, it"s had new fluid, turret repair, and cable adjustment just over 2k miles ago, shifted well before, and still does, no or very little notchiness, I do double clutch from 1st to 2nd when cold, this is just a habit I picked up when I got my Daewoo many years ago, and kept the habit as it helped in that car so can"t do any harm in another car.
Aero bodykit18 wheelsheated seatsdual zone climate controlleather interior, in excellent condition other than 1 minor tear in drivers seat baseService history until I got it, then enthusiast owned - see photos of what"s been done, probably more work than it had in the 90k miles before I took ownershipBeing a manual it"s in the £290 VED group, not the £500 ish supertax group like the post 23/3/06 autos & 2.8s.

As you see from the beading it"s been reasonably well polished & waxed, the roof hasn"t been machine polished like the rest of the car, as it"s awkward to get up there safely with the tool.
Bad bits, I"ve touched up a small patch on the rear wing, just behind the offside door, it"s not come through from the arch and isn"t on a corner, so I think it"s been a stone chip or similar, that wasn"t attended to at the time. Not really noticeable from more than a few feet away. Bonnet has some white chip-style marks on it, age related, could touch in but I"ve not the time right now.
If I was keeping it:
I"d change the rear engine mount to poly, they"re the insert-type, where they come in 2 halves, so just push into the existing bush once the torque arm is off the car. No wrestling or burning of the old one is needed.
Some might not like the spoiler that I"ve put on this, and as my new one is also a black saloon, I will be swapping the boot lids over, so the new owner of this will get a normal Saab aero lip spoiler.
I also want to keep my black wheels and nearly new rainsports, so I will be swapping them to the wheels from the new car, pics available here, which appear to be in better condition than mine, but I"d rather keep the black wheels & rainsports.  Apologies that the photos don"t show the car exactly as it should be, but I don"t have the parts yet to swap over from the new one.
I"m in Washington, NE37. I have no worries about delivering or meeting people, but I"ll be doing the test driving or will have the full asking price in cash in my hand - sorry but that"s the way it has to be.
Thanks, any questions please ask, and I"ll add details where necessary.
Dan.
