That looks pretty nice, and should make a nice reliable Daily driver. But as said, the Saab rims do suit it better .

Rich,
Well the engine mods are as follows;
2.3 Head N/A Intake Cam SPG9 AID Red Top Injectors T3/60 Turbo JT 3" Exhaust Water Injection Uprated Wastegate MBC Adj FPRR K&N Cone Filter
Will be changing the intercooler for a front mounted one soon and hopefully will have a new 'fuel chip' for it too.
Chassis wise;
16" Super Aero Alloys Pirelli Asymetrico 205/50/16 Tyres Spax Adj' Shocks All Round G&M Lowering Springs (40mm) 9000 Turbo Front Brake Calipers and Discs Goodridge Stainless Steel Hoses
Body;
Whale Tail Clear Front Cluster Clear Side Repeaters
Think thats it!! Interior wise, is stock leathers, apart from the addition of a Italvolanti steering wheel on a 'Snap Off' which I drilled to fit, and MOMO gearknob. Oh and I have a short shift gear lever.
Mine is also my daily driver, although having said that I don't drive everyday!! To be honest the suspension is bit harsh and the exhaust is damn LOUD, but that doesn't bother me. (The rides even harder in my Alfasud!!!).
Any questions or help, just mail me.
Cheers, Jaty.

Oh yeah and I also have the side air vent covers! woo!!
BTW Rich, is yours defo a full pressure turbo?? I ask as I notice you have Saab badges on the side of the bonnet (normally thats what they have on the Light Pressure Turbos I think) instead of 'turbo'.
And you don't seem to have the turbo wheel arches.
Cheers, Jaty.

Looks lovely - really do like these, almost bought a 99 Turbo with a full Griffith (I think? Not sure) kit a while back, in blue.
Sounds like it's gonna be a great daily - lag and dump valve noise aplenty ;D Looks in 'gert nick too!

Woot! I like everything about those Saabs ,lovely! Yours must be a flyer with those mods!! Do you have an figures?

Rich - Ah the bonnets been replaced, that would make sense then. Yeah any help/ideas just ask.
Street - Well it's certainly not slow!!! I wouldn't wanna say what sorta numbers it's running as I've not had it dyno'ed (will do as soon as the fuel chip and FMIC are on) but lets just say it has no probs shifting, and I've had it off the clock many times (got some piccys somewhere, will have to post them), biggest problem is traction, so getting a good 0-60 is diff, but once on the move its good and brings a big ass smile to my face!!
Jaty.
