2006 - 2008 SHE WAS TO FAST TO LIVE ON
PLEASE COMMENT ...I PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO HER
Hello I am a student of architecture and economics at the University of South Florida in Tampa. On my free time I have created this home made Saab Turbo sports car. I have fiddled with the appearance and performance of this car. I do believe Jasmine(Saab 9-3) has an element of class most people never notice. Most view this saab as an outcast but she is amazing.
In terms of sheer physical presence, this Saab Turbo is in a league of its own.

Bought her for $4,000 she had nearly 52,000 miles
1999 Saab 9-3S
1999 9-3 SE MP/Powerchips ECU Stage 1
Stg1 Hp 225 and 236 FtLbs Torque (ECU)
This WRX TURBO CASE cost $300 i would have kept my money if i new the nordec chip worked so well. (Live and Learn)
The Nordic upgrade is amazing. I only could afford a stage 1 but the result are breath taking. It even has my name on it. How did Nordic know i am vein?
NO IMITATIONS
It makes your car run faster and more efficient this ECU was designed specifically to give ultimate performance gains while allowing the engine to run more proficiently then from the manufacture.
The stock Boush bypass valve was replaced by a HKS Super Sequential Blow-Off Valve - SSQV BOV
Originally I was going to use the GReddy BOV but I did not feel it was not the best solution. There was no sound how can you feel a part of your vehicale without it shouting at you
The intake was redesigned to suck in air from the exterior of the car.
This is the final design it lets the air in and keep water and road debry out.
Not metion the front spoilers were covered to reduce drag.
THE SEATS AND SIDE PANEL WERE STRIPPED OUT TO LIGHTEN UP THE VEHICALE. They served no function in my daily life
3029.1514824219 lb - 50 lb = 2 979.15148
2979.151482 lb (automobile weight)/225 hp (4 (cyl) engine power) = 0.075524860470992 lb/hp
weight-to-power ratio
Note: When looking at weight-to-power ratio (power loading), smaller is better
BLUE NEON STREET GLOW LIGHTS... The one and off switch is the fog light. The beauty of this system is you don't see the neons. All you you can see is the glow.
PAINTED CALIPERS RED. I USED CALIPER PAINT AND THEN A THIN ACRYLIC CLEAR GLOSS
My new jet black metal meshed grille
JASMINES FLOW MASTER UP-GRADE
The 40 Series Delta Flow generates a powerful, aggressive sound outside the vehicle.
This vortex generator is like those used on airplane wings; it reduces drag and increases the downforce generated by the rear spoiler.
Soon I will
Lowering the vehicle
Run narrower tires
Round the edges of the front end
Tune the grille and fascia openings
Tune the wheel openings
Place spats (small spoilers) in front of the tires to reduce turbulence
Tune the size and shape of the outside mirrors and their attachment arms
Adjust the front fascia and air dam to reduce drag under the vehicle
Tuck up the exhaust system
Use a diffuser to tune air coming off the underside
Install "belly pans," underbody panels that cover components and smooth airflow
I installed 2 water jets that will spray cold water on the inter cooler. This will make sure there is maximum use of Horse Power during high speed country driving.
A metal mess was installed around the license plat just to add a little menace... An added sparkle was the Turbo badge I got from a carrera.
The mud flap were removed to increase the aerodynamics. I would lower her but florida has flash floods.
Here is the new carbon fiber look
This is my friend she wanted in on the fun!
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SAAB
Check out my baby posing. She told me she would let me take photos of her if I let her drive my car to the beach... The trip was worth while.
WHY SO SERIOUS " LETS PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE "
I SHE JASMINE WAS THE FAVORITE OF 15 PEOPLE. I HOPE SHE INSPIRES MORE TO TRICK OUT SAAB'S
SORRY YALL THE CAR WAS TOTALED SEPTEMBER 8 2008. I hydroplaned while traveling to Miami and I hit a concret wall. she wil be missed
AFTER DEATH SHE FINALY MADE IT ON THE CHART AT #5 SEPTEMBER 21, 2008
I just bought a new car a 91 5.0 mustang. I AM ALWAY UPGRADING CHECK HER OUT! HERE IS THE URL
