Hey all! This is my 9000.

saab900023t's 1991 Saab 9000 Boynton Beach, FL Customized with Custom Engine Comps., Custom Strut Bars, Custom Exhaust, Custom Header, Custom Intake, Brembo Brakes, Custom Transmission, Custom Engine Electronics, Custom Perf. Chip, Custom Gauges, Goodyear Tires, Custom Seats, Rockford Fosgate Tweeters, Clarion Head Unit, Sony Speakers, Clarion Sound Processor - 1

I've spent countless hours, blood, sweat, and tears bringing her to where she's at. There will be many more ahead without a doubt. First things first, I'm worrying about performance and handling now. After that, I can worry about the EXPESIVE part, which will be restoring the car's appearance. For now, I'm working with limited funding. I'm constantly on the lookout for a sponsorship if I could find one that might assist with the bodywork, not that there is much to be done, and paint job and other appearance upgrades.

So far, I have put in quite a few modifications already:
+Brembo discs and Axxis pads all 'round.
+TurboXS High Pressure Manual Boost controller
+Swedish Dynamics "Red" Series DI/APC Prom chip and fuel chip
+JR Cold Air Intake
+Aluminum Radiator
+1993 Aero Gearbox
+Garrett GT2876R Twin Ball Bearing Turbo-Charger
+Goodyear Eagle F-1 GSD3's
+Custom Fabricated Full 3" Exhaust

Next in line will be suspension and uprated braking, along with wheels to fit.

Right now I'm spending some time trying to rid what little rust there is on the interior floor boards. There's only one severe rust hole on the driver's footwell by the jack-point pinch weld. In the near future I'll be cutting it and welding a plate in and repriming. Next comes carpet and a completed interior. For now I'm enjoying how nimble the car feels with the 300+ pounds out of her cabin. When I can afford to do it properly, a nice new paint job will follow. Also, accompanying that will be a new body kit hopefully, as the current one has definately served its life well, but now is looking foward to retirement.
