JZW Stage 5 Saab 9-3 v6 Aero

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.

Was the exhaust not worth removing/selling separately before scrapping? Was it not a Prospeed one? They did my Legacy one.

Yeah Prospeed mate.

It’s coming off before they scrap the car, they’re removing everything from my list then weighing the car in.

Full exhaust & Downpipe
550 injectors
Gearbox & clutch

Pollybushes
3 point brace
345 Brake callipers & carriers

Taliafero stainless clamp
Intercooler & pipes

Fair bit to come off, glad I took the audio kit out that saved me a few hours in labour!

Thought that was a pic on the way to scrapyard heaven!

Lol not yet but it’s on its way, pretty gutting driving behind it. Pointless throwing money at it though it was rusty was hell. Just got to find a nice v6 wagon now.

That's a good list of bits to come off.
Should keep them occupied for a while.

God knows what the bills going to be but I couldn’t bare scrapping it with all the kit fitted.
