Here is my car. Some people name their cars, which is cool. I don't, because I basically consider my car to be an extension of myself. So, I guess that means if you dis my car, I will be forced to beat you up. Well, not really, but I'll feel bad. Then you'll feel bad. It'll be a whole bad thing. ;-)

I've always thought the rear looks mean. So far I've had two people tell me that one of my back up lights is burnt out, including the mechanic doing the out-of-province inspection. There is only a back up light on the right. The left side has a fog light. The mechanic literally laughed out loud when I tried to tell him it had a rear fog light. It took a phone call from a Master Saab Technician at the dealership for him to believe it, and subsequently pass the car.

Nice aero, Glad to see some people arent adding clear corners, orange ones just look nicer...btw, love the red grille:D Didnt US cars originaly have 2 reversing lights? I've seen back panels like that, and All of the persons who had 'em told me that they were made for the US market. Cheers.

Hey nice car. I see that you have an upgraded ecu. Have you installed it? How much difference has is made? What stage/hp gain was it? Where did you get it? Sorry about all the questions, i am looking to get a new ecu and would like some advice. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Hey thanks for the comments. So do you have limited slip now?? If you got it from scanwest then its the Abbott Racing part right? thats the one i am getting. How do you like it? does it help your 1/4mile time and get you off the line quicker with less burning out?? Anyways Im getting my cryo treated too (spelling) and shot peened (spelling) all new gears.... bearings...... well everything is new and then getting the LSD. it should be awesome when its all done. Why have you gone through so many trannys? your not putting out more power then me are you? Anyways your car looks great and i wish we could hang out sometime =) -Kaylan Marie

Hello Trevor... Great to talk to you again. I see you've done a couple more performance mods. 232 hp? seems a little low for the mods you've done. I just got an atmospheric BOV last week, should have it by next week. I want to paint the grill like you've done. How did you paint it? Did you take off the chrome and then prime and paint it? Do you use a clear coat? Come check out my page when you have time. I am going to be doing a lot of things in the next couple months.
