Thanks for the kind words! Hope you are enjoying your 9-3. If you need anything give us a call! 😁

He's in Raleigh, NC!

Now you see why I we all want a Viggen Coupe 😏.. besides the late 80's 900, this is the best one out there

[@AutoAutopsy]

Lol! Both are awesome

[@ryanwalton986]

Viggen isn't all that much different from a base model if you are going for big power. Turbo, suspension, clutch, etc. will be redone anyway.

[@ryanwalton986]

If anything viggen might be a little worse cause all the viggens these days are really high mileage and still expensive

[@piotrmarek1982]

It is midnight in UK now I almost sleep on my laptop :D How much power does this Saab have or I missed this?

[@AutoAutopsy]

I didn't get an exact number but I believe he's aiming for somewhere between 500-600whp when the boost is turned up

[@MrFlarnhare]

ilove Saab i had own one 900 , and 93 turbo great cars

Nice

[@AutoAutopsy]

[@slimeballz]

😍 Saab....

[@Larslegos]

I drove a stock Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon recently, with a 5-speed, and it really got me into wanting a turbo FWD car. It would be cool to have a 9-3 like in this video but my ideal daily driver would have a lot of room and be a sleeper, so maybe a 9-5 Aero (maybe wagon) would be ideal.

[@AutoAutopsy]

yeah, although the viggen can be pretty practical too especially if you get a 5 door!

[@Larslegos]

@@AutoAutopsy Thx for the reply

[@alexzbarazky3038]

I've had a modified ng900 for 15 years. 340k. Could use a new body. At this point I'm shopping for a bad engine 99 9-3 or a 9-5 aero wagon. I love my 900, but I also Loooove sleeper wagons. Maybe a wagon is a natural progression from a hatchback.

BOSTON!!!!!!!!! SAAB!!!!!!! AUTO AUTOPSY!!!!!!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

[@patriksonestad8208]

As long as the ECU still runs Trionic 7, boost is not that important. It's all down to air mass, and ignition. I know Rolf Uhr of Nordic and got a ride in one of the customer cars he was building. It was a ng9-3 from like 2004. Had a GT30 and put out around 600hp. Here in Sweden where E85 is everywhere we all run BioPower software which adapt to any mixture between petrol and E85. It's all very simple actually. I would not recommend E85 for you TurboX though as it increases consumption a lot. My 2007 9-5 2,0 Auto uses 12,5 litres / 100km. I've heard numbers at or above 20 litres/ 100km for a turboX running E85. BTW, I've just been to my mechanic and did some work on my ng9-5, among other things, got the Hirsch Stage 1. He had his friends car there, a ng9-5 TiD6. Yes, a V6 diesel ng9-5. Only one built.

[@davidmiletic6647]

It was for sale at Venza. It is now in Sweden. I can't really upload pics here, but I've got one of the engine. It sounds like a truck, haha. Apparantly, GM killed off the engine and decided not to use it. They sold the engine and it's found in Jeeps.

[@jayt2002]

The torc on that shit is amazing I worked at Saab of Milford for 5yrs and we had few viggens this is before they changed I mean Gm bought them but I loved the viggen

[@AutoAutopsy]

nice

[@petritast3784]

Regarding torque-steer I have only two things to say: You either love it, or you'll get 9000. Or both 😁 I love 9000 especially in wintertime coz 9k is simply superior in the way she communicates with the driver. Something You can't experience w/ all them electrical brains fitted in nowadays.

[@AutoAutopsy]

nice

[@alexzbarazky3038]

My ng900, which I believe has the same suspension as a viggen, feels great after a taliaferro steering rack brace and clamp. Maybe I just got used to it after 15 years. Both 9000 and 9-5 have better steering rack setups. Right hand drive ng900 crack the firewall because of this, afaik. I don't think there are any electronics/computers in the ng900 or og9-3 other than a clock spring.

[@borundangas]

Hello I need sobre help I own a 2011 saab 9-5 it has 45,000 miles everything works well, I do drive the car once an a blue moon, but two days ago I tried to start the car and it just didn't start at all, any suggestions.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Does it crank? I'd start with the battery. Get the voltage checked!

[@WindowsAndMacintosh]

The Viggen is one of the coolest modern Saabs. It's second only to the Turbo X. Especially one of our 211 😉

[@AutoAutopsy]

For sure!

[@user-pt1ow8hx5l]

The Turbo X with the V-6 is far too heavy, due to that GM supplied engine block....

[@alexzbarazky3038]

Definitely one of the coolest saabs. Og9-5 aero wagons are along those two on my list. I wish I could easily obtain a viggen body kit for my ng900.

[@alk3myst]

E85 can vary station to station. The UGas stations I use are E80-85, the Racetracs I am getting only E78-82.

[@AutoAutopsy]

True!

[@alk3myst]

@@AutoAutopsy I recommend anyone requiring Ethanol blends to get a gauge that can report the level you have in the tank. I am running a Banks iGauge SuperGauge along with my AEM X-Series UEGO wideband setup (that gauge just sits buttoned up under the dash, I wish AEM would have made it so you don't have to use their gauge in the path of the wiring, but the gauge houses all the 'brains' of the setup and communicates it back to the OBD2 port. The Banks iGauge is a slick setup. Even reports my fuel level more accurately than my car does (my Cadillac doesn't report under a certain level that still has a lot left in the tank, it just says an ambiguous "LOW").

[@recyclespinning9839]

I know it's an old video. Hope someone sees this . What's market on 2000 Viggen with a 150k miles on it.? No records on when clutch was done ?

[@troykennedy1087]

I run Abbott Grooved brakes. Solid product for the price. Would highly recommend to anyone looking at getting new brake discs :)

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@darkdelisandwiches6845]

@2:18 That smile when he mentions that both wheels can finally spin at the same time. Lol F25 transmission IMO felt better then the F35. Far less shifting and much more daily driver friendly. It’s to bad they don’t match up to later model Saabs.

[@davesummerville6500]

I miss my aero coupe red hatch my turbo blew up I put on the viggen turbo it had se computer it was an auto I no I no..... I turned it up almost all the way and just kept it clean it was so clean ran great had about 225 on good fuel and a cold day I mean the inside was like brand new clean and the outside was flawless too

[@andrewlaw]

Is he running a VRK as well as the Quaife LSD?

[@AutoAutopsy]

I am not sure, sorry :/

[@joshuamasur]

The VRK is cheap and takes even an inexperienced wrencher like me under an hour to install. I can't imagine he'd install the LSD first.

[@mulchy6480]

I have something similar to Abbott's VRK. All poly bushings, and steering rack brace. No subframe brace. Used to have the GS 6 point, but found it didn't make any noticable difference. Removed it because I've had the engine out of this 3 times now and it just gets in the way.

[@joshuamasur]

@@mulchy6480 interesting. The 6-point is next on my list, but maybe not.

[@mulchy6480]

@@joshuamasur I found the rear hatch brace to make the biggest difference. Stiffening the rear of the car gives it a much nicer oversteer feel. Really changes the dynamic of the car. Subframe brace is great on the convertibles, but not so much the coupe and 4 door in my opinion.

You might want to confirm that everything is in working order, then. Suspension or steering components could need a refresh after a decade plus. Not to mention tires.
