Hey /o/ I just wanted to say thanks.
I came by 6 months ago asking for advice and feeding vinbro vins. I've had this 2002 Saab 9-3 SE for about 5 months now and I'm in love. Every cheap car I've ever bought was just plastic and gross on the inside. I feel like I'm driving a $2500 Rolls Royce.
I flashed the ecu with a .bin that tricks the TCM into thinking its not going over torque limit(this is a 4 speed automatic) and also changed mapping. It was $50 and some spark plugs.
It is literally the fastest car I've owned now too, and incredibly reliable. I've replaced brakes, rotors, all fluids, and even had to do a bearing/clutch for the A/C condenser. Its got about 85,000 miles on it right now but it hauls ass and looks like a white person car. I don't have an exhaust on it or bigger fuel injectors yet, but I think I might just keep it a sleeper.
I still wanna know who stole my fucking blinker on the day after Christmas though. I'll tear you in fucking half bro

t7suite and t5suites are pretty damn delightful.
I hope you are using synthetic oil and changing it ever 3 to 6k. I use rotella t6 and a pl20195 (quarter quart larger than stock) filter. Change your plugs ever 30k or less to preserve your DIC. NGK only.

I didn't know that about the DIC. I know they die quick but didn't know changing often helps. I went a heat range cooler for my tune. I'm pushing 255hp. I haven't done much other than change vacuum lines to silicon and some other bs.
Ive been doing rotella T6 every 4k miles cause I know I hotrod this car around too much. The TCM mod I mentioned to get rid of torque limiters is RARE for my 4 speed automatic american 9-3 2002. I am willing to share it as only me and one other fellow have it. If you guys do get a Saab buy the USB BDM adapter and flash tunes. You will wake the car up.
But yeah anyone want a stage 1 no torque limiters 4spd auto box tune? You gotta have the B205R motor and TD04. Changing sparkplugs is a good idea unless you want to blow them or carbonize them. People don't believe my car is an automatic because of how it drives.
