Still... stuff has changed over the past few years, and not for the better


And hey; I actually have owned a swedish car

>>14227362
Gotta give more info for anyone to make even the slightest guess if it is or isn't...

Where are you?
What are they asking for it?
Engine?

Rust?
Needs anything?
Condition of tires?
Service sheet?

And so on

>>14227362
yes.

>>14227372
I currently live in the Midwest.
I haven't looked into it much but most around my area are $2000-2500. I need to dig and find exactly what I'm looking for I just wanted to know if they're reliable. I only drive about 40 miles a day back and forth to university.

PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY A SAAB MECHANIC

>>14227362
Had one a red '89 until a few months ago.

They are solid and luxurious for the time. Faster and more modern than 240 but also uglier. Quite reliable, but make sure it has been maintained at least somewhat. Fucking fun when the turbo kicks in, but awful MPGs (I got maybe 18 avg) Just be aware that you're getting a late 80s/early 90s turbo'd car.

Here she is

Doubt there are even 300 in Canada. Owner seemed trustworthy and very knowledgeable, did some autocross with it. He added a new steering rack and rear sway to eliminate torque steer. Lots of go power. Really easy to drive, never stalled despite having only a couple of hours worth of stickshift time on an old truck. Had an oil pan leak that got fixed, front springs are a bit worn, has some scratches/tiny dent on passenger door. 90k miles/140k km.

He's mulling over the trade right now, but he said my car was in gr8 shape. Fingers crossed.

First things first, grats.
Now update the PCV and use some engine cleaning to get some of the gunk out since it most certainly have some oil sludge.

>>14232062
do NOT put any engine cleaning stuff in the crankcase.

Chances are the PCV has been updated, if not don't worry as it has most likely only had synthetic. Sludge was only an issue with conventional oil, prolonged change intervals and city driving.

If you are concerned though, you will need to drop the oil pan, clean that, inspect and clean the oil pickup.

Maybe it's different in Scandia but in the burger states this is extremely unlikely. I've seen more 60's Mustangs than turbo 240s
I've seen two, ever; one when i was like 15, and the other one is some boomers baby. Junkyards are however filled with T5s from 850s for cheap

Anyone have experience with ECU tune kits? Do they really give you as much power as advertised?

Do you have a saab or a volvo
Generally any tuning on a turbo car is gonna be good
not so much on an NA

For me tuning had a huge benefit for the 2.8t V6
something like +80hp and 100ft-lbs of torque

and yeah it does give that kinda power

>>14240014
For Saab it gives a great deal actually
I'm currently in the middle of trying to tune my T5 ECU
Using BDM over parallel though and it's not recognizing my ECU at all

luckily ik they were trash so i didn't bother

>>14239944

ARD, IPD, vivaperformance, fcp, eeuroparts for cheap quality, do88, kinugawa for turbo parts, junkyards for sik mods like NA cams and NA intakes.

Hey guys I'm thinking about purchasing a Saab, possibly one of these ones

or

https://dayton.craigslist.org/cto/5394426074.html

What do you guys think?

>>14240092

I wanted to like it I really did. The damn ETM gave out on me after I already fixed it and I just can't bring myself to buy one from xemodex for 500$. I donno. Maybe when i calm down a little about it I'll rethink it. I did drive it across the entire country and back with minimal problems but it just gives me hell intermittently and I just don't trust it anymore.

Last time it stalled on my while I was nose out into an intersection. My asshole hasn't unpuckered yet.

I am a retard who desires to be spoonfed.
What difficulties would I encounter when swapping a 201 to a 202 engine in a 900?

>>14239028
How much would something like that roughly cost all together? Just curious
>>14239969
Just spent about $300 in parts there. Would recommend.

>>14239944

>>14241139 <this is mine

ipd for misc. shit, elevate for exhaust, tune and cosmetics, snabb for internals such as intake pipe and FMIC. viva also has a few nice little upgrades as well. i actually have a t5 engine in my R to run higher boost. t5s are awesome to build on.

a t5 from an 850 or v70 (u want 850 tho, not throttle by wire) is super cheap, you could probably pick one up from a junkyard for $300-500, and the swap itself is well documented on turbobricks.com and other sites like

I'd appreciate it, or just a thread link for the awd system, it was the reason i never wanted one of these, weight of awd but the driving dynamics of a fwd

>>14242034
there isn't a thread link, it's a custom tune my buddy did through can-bus for me. there's a guy with a swedespeed thread about his 500-hp R that did a similar thing, it's called "representing 500-hp R from russia" or some shit.

anyway, my mods:
>snabb big FMIC (full kit)
>snabb intake pipe
>elevate air intake
>swapped 2005 t5 engine and shimmed
>running 20 psi on elevate tune
>elevate 3.5" DP catback exhaust with 3" elevate muffler
>OEM sport kit
those are the go-fast stuff. other shit i did:
>team dynamics 18" wheels
>delrin subframe bushings
>ipd chassis braces
>kenwood dnx-1850 (i think?) HU
>audi s4 MAF
>ALL hoses replaced with silicone
>aeromotive fuel pump upgrade

my next step is to put in a bigger turbo and go from there. but that's a few years down the line. i've used mostly OEM parts and i've made the thing super reliable and amazing to drive. i'll never want another car lol.

>>14242082
Holy crap
That's amazing, i regret talking shit now

>>14242095
it's all good man, volvo tuning isn't a huge thing but those of us that do are hardcore as fuck. some good forums are turbobricks, swedespeed, etc. you'll find both mod lists and maintenance help from guys who know these things inside it. it's expensive but it's sooo worth it.

The 9-3 has a nice list if parts, but its always a bit troubling to buy a modded car. Also I doubt its female driven with those mods. Yes some girls are into cars but it is rare. Also shit hanging from mirror and wheel cover are earning signs.
