Great to see an update.
Good luck in the search for another aero.
Thanks mate have you still got your 9-3?Good luck in the search for another aero.
Fair bit of work to be done just to get the parts off then I’ll see how it’s looking and go hunting for a new one.
After another manual, be a shame not to make use of the Quaife but the Autos another option. Aura have got these absolutely flying, 0-60 in 4.3!!! In a heavy fwd Saab!! Bonkers! I couldn’t get mine under 5!

Much like you did with that Juke, I went for a focus diesel.Fair bit of work to be done just to get the parts off then I’ll see how it’s looking and go hunting for a new one.

Getting that itch to have something from Sweden again.
Might be a Volvo ahead.
Did you keep all that audio equipment from the other 9-3 ?
Seam to remember 3 amps to try at one point.

What about 60-100 and 62-124?Fair bit of work to be done just to get the parts off then I’ll see how it’s looking and go hunting for a new one.

Not really sure, not many vids online for Aura but there’s an Aura tuned 19t on YouTube with a 60-90 just over 4 secs, that’s with 382hp & 468ft/lbs.My 60-90 was 3.1s with the 18t from the Insignia VXR, my dyno run was all over the place though so no real idea what it was putting down, he just couldn’t get any traction on the rollers when it came on boost and couldn’t get a decent run out of it. JZW was convinced it was 400hp but I’d take that with a pinch of salt. When he compared it to the stage 5 20T cars they were pretty much neck & neck 60-90, they were dynod around 415hp & 530ft/lbs.
Quick either way.........until it went bang!
Not really after big numbers with the next one, if he can get similar performance to JZW with the same set up I’ll be happy. (I might flog the 18t and go for a faster spooling billet job though)
Sorry to go off topic a bit, wondered if you may be able to help with some information?
My sister has 2.0 Aero but keeps getting the stability control error. Is this only going to be repaired with another cim?
Also, do you know if it is possible to code in new key? One of hers has stopped working.
Thanks.

I can’t help there sorry, never had that error but I know a few have had it on UKsaabs, they should be able to help.My sister has 2.0 Aero but keeps getting the stability control error. Is this only going to be repaired with another cim?

Pretty sure they can code a new key with tech2? I had the fobs on my old 9000 & 9-5 re coded years ago so I think it’ll be fine with the 9-3
I read this with interest, was sorry for you when I heard it had gone bang, then to make matters worse you got a Juke.
I have a 2.0 aero hatch manual with a noob stage 1 and that's all, not sure it needs to be faster, maybe less crap suspension would enable it to use the power as it just spins up in 2nd.
It too went bang on the motorway earlier this year, imagine my relief when I saw the intake pipe had just popped off, screwed it back on and off I went!
Anyway I am considering selling it as I have decided I want an EV, although am loathed to as the bugger has been so damn reliable, PM me if you want another Saab. I feel like I want to save you from the Juke (although the seats do look nice).

Ha! I really like our Juke Wanted to hate it but it’s been great, only gripe is the small boot (it’s tiny!!))
The missis wants a white Nismo RS next....has my blessing
The Saab’s booked in next Friday to be broken, I did plan on stripping the interior today and get all the audio stuff out but it’s hammering down here.
Thanks for the offer but I’m after another v6 Aero, no mega rush to get one so I’ve got some time to find a nice low mileage car.
Re the handling, Eibach springs & Bilstein b8’s are a nice combo or if you wanted to drop it a bit lower go for H&R springs. I’d avoid Maptun springs.

Finally made a start stripping the car, all audio kit/wiring out and a few bits from the engine bay. After pulling the carpet there was a couple inches of water underneath! Carpet weighed a ton it was soaked!!!
Will be glad to get shot of it now, I almost went for a replacement engine but it’s probbaly rotten now won’t all the water in here, not worth fixing.
