The one you haven't done, I got a 93 linear, with the manual, still love it as much today as the day I bought it. Can't beat the stick for driving, it is the only car I have ever owned in my 50 plus years of driving that I fall in love with every time I drive it. A lot is due to the slick shifting box that let's me flawlessly go thru the gears. Was going to get rid of it a year ago, but then decided to give it a second life, it's getting some facelifting. Thanks for your channel, lotta good info, ....keep it up.
Your Do88 intercooler tutorial was of great help when I did mine. I think your best mod was the big brake upgrade, and in silver instead of some rice colour, made them look factory..... But new. My vert favourite mods were a Do88 Ic, a full Jetex ss exhaust, an Albert Downpipe, and a Maptun clutch and flywheel. Not tuned yet because all though I've had balance shaft chain and guides done, I'm not stressing the engine until cam chain and guides are done. Your saab looks clean, classy and tastefully done, a lot of thought gone into it👌
Hello Auto Autopsy, Love the mods. Tough to say which one I like the most. Cosmetically speaking I like the Aero lower trim on the front. That sets the stage for everything else ie. rims, honeycomb grill, block lights on the back, headlights, and paint job etc. I like a low key "performance" stock look. Performance wise brakes, Maptune stage1, Bilsteins etc. Practicality wise, probably the ECM spacer (smart) and radiator upgrade. For me anything to keep the car running longer and smoother is primary. As far as the interior, I love the subtle custom paint adjustments and seat upgrades that you can find on a deal. I have an '07 9-3 Arc wk 175k as well that I PNOd for 6 mos until I solved the transmission shifting issue. I finally chance purchased a transmission solenoid unit on e-bay for $125, had my Saab tech install it and wallah... shifts perfectly smooth now as of this week! I'm now slo mo working on getting it in respectable viewing shape as a sort of hobby/daily driver vehicle. Looks pretty good stock but missing that "tough" stance. Having paint issues on the top cabin but will see if I can make a quick fix that won't cheese it out. We'll see. Nice work on the 900 transmission transformation by the way. I haven't seen all the videos but it invariably reminds me of my brother's SPG rebuild back in the late 80s. A beast it was! Always enjoy your videos as it gives me hope for my three Saabs. Will try to contribute to your Patreon account soon. Best to you. Keep up the good work!
Nice car, I'm on my seventh Saab all 93 models, all modified it's an illness? currently have a 2011 Griffin Aero Auto diesel, in Arctic white, Hirsch map, Bilstein B8 with Eibach springs.18 turbine wheels with Bridgestone 235/45 tires, rear silencers removed with 4-inch black chrome tailpipes, JVC sound with USB, now using Ways. EBC drilled discs black calipers, front, and back, yellow pads, Powerflix upgrade. The car drives brilliantly with middle to top forty mpg. keep up the great content.
Inside the car it's got to be the icm3 upgrade but drive wise I would say the upgrade on suspension and strut brace. Makes the drive so much better and responsive. I've just had a stage 1 remap but bsr air intake and strut brace are nice add ons. Also internally I swapped my door sils for saab green light up ones and saab logo door projectors, looks awesome at night.
Honestly very nice, I'm slowly but surely upgrading my 2005 9-3, Linear ;(, but I was wondering if you are going to review the short shifter mod, I know your's is an auto but you are probably one of the best if not THE best Saab youtuber out there, in my opinion.
Also my first “mod” isn’t really a mod, it was just my creative way of protecting the key ignition from spillage after I almost got sour cream into it (don’t ask). So I bought a leather dice cup that I’ll place over the key and ignition from now on. I still won’t drink in the front seats but I figure if I get sloppy or lazy or forgetful the cup will be a nice layer of protection from liquid. And just to clarify, I wasn’t drinking the sour cream. But I totally would.
Best mod is the respray hands down. It is the first impression you get, everything else coming afterwards is optical nitpicking. Just imagine all the cosmetic upgrades but then to the car when it still was in the sorry state it was in before the respray. It would be a polished turd, while it looks ace now.
$1100 for that? You spiffed it up so nicely. Hope you’re proud of the work you’ve put into that. The fact that you were able to fix it and get it running again and all that is admirable.
Thanks so much for sharing all your content, with ur videos I've been able to comfortably work on my '03 9-3. Can you guide me to a link or advise on fixing my radio ...., just randomly died and lost audio to turn signals, front amp looks good and found trunk fuse #22 blown. Upon replacing fuse, my rear amp started smoking and had to pull out the fuse immediately to avoid further problems. Haven't touched it since. Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Vraiment l'ensemble des modifications sont vraiment bien, j'adore le fait qu'elle garde un esprit d'origine. Côté performances je me penche de plus en plus sur l'intercooler et l'échappement pour faire respirer davantage le moteur. Côté intérieur que pense tu du ICM3 modifié ? Est il possible d'en faire faire un ?
Thanks for the video love it. I have 2004 Saab Linear 2.0t and would like to get the fog lights does they need a hardness to get the lights going and does it need to be program also
Hi friend. I have Saab 9-3 1.8T, 2003. I have some problems if you can help. First one P0033 (turbo charger problem). Second one when I drive, smoke comes from around to turbo(or under the turbo cover)
Hello friend. I would ask different question. I couldn't find my Saab 9-3 1.8T 2003 year fuel filters place for change. It's not diesel. I watched many videos from youtube but didn't help. There is no filter where it should be. Do you know where it is?
I like your 18" wheels as well as your front bumper spoiler lip ... 👍👍 However, switching from 17" wheels to 18" wheels could in some way affect your braking system ( less effective as 18" wheels are more heavy than 17" wheels ) per my Saab mechanic as the braking system was designed for 17" wheels ONLY !

My favorite mod on your car is the rims. Love them.
Do you know what kind they are

The paint still looks great
The paint job and wheels are my favorite.
Nice man, I've got the same exact car. Picking it up this Monday. Only 136K Km on it. (85K miles)
Awesome!
It looks super! I've been along for most, if not all, mods & they served as inspiration for my own.😁👍
Nice, I'm also planning to order do88 intake for my 2.0. You need spacers in the rear, it will make the car look so much better.
Awesome great mods,looking forward to getting a d088 for my 2008 93 and the ECU spacer as well.
Keep up the good work Auto Autopsy!
Nice work. I really love the wheels.

Were the door projector lights very hard to install? I'm curious where you bought them. Sounds cool.
awesome great car

Favourite mod on my 2008 NG 9-3 facelift is adding LEDs to the ISM. So far… long ways to go yet!

hello, a question where I can find the painting of the car in the video. What is the name of the color exactly?
$1100 for that? You spiffed it up so nicely. Hope you’re proud of the work you’ve put into that. The fact that you were able to fix it and get it running again and all that is admirable.

"Back when I had my Turbo X." Please do not tell me you sold the TX....
He did maybe 8 months ago
@@chaytonvedum8254 whaaat why!? Also I wish I had known cuz I would have paid more than whoever he sold it to.
@@twokharacters Its expensive to own, xwd services, drinks fuel, insurance, services get more expensive cause of the v6 and taxes

Thanks! Yeah it’ll need a program. Here’s a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/JO0zrRgyDOE/v-deo.htmlsi=UFMFabClfecWrJ3E
I love the radio mod but Stuart isn't doing them anymore Having a really hard time finding a harness for a standard double din unit
Unfortunately- yep. It’s quite hard to do a radio upgrade with the 03-06 cars because of the fiber optics :(
I have a DO88 intake for sale, but it's OG. 98-02.
Hi friend. I have Saab 9-3 1.8T, 2003. I have some problems if you can help. First one P0033 (turbo charger problem). Second one when I drive, smoke comes from around to turbo(or under the turbo cover)
Out of interest, would you rate the manual over the automatic?

in a black box under the car on the passenger side just ahead of the rear wheel well
What type of wheels are those ?
Im looking to buy this car, the aero version.
Where do I find wobble bolts ??
