Today I finally had enough free time to give the Aero a much needed exterior treatment to go with last weeks motor/interior detail.

Thanks for the compliments.

Yeah, I was skeptical abou TCS when I went to look at the car prior to purchasing it. It only took me about 5 min to get past that ;) Something I think that a lot of people don't realize is that plenty of 9-3/9-5s have tcs & electronic throttle body issues too.

^ that certainly helps ;-)

Nonetheless, a very clean Aero!

As far as TCS...it seems that every 9k with TCS is automatically dismissed as being a car destined to have problems, and yet people are still ga-ga about viggens, which have a very similar ETS/TCS system. Oh well.

Lookin good.

I just noticed, under your fog light switches you got the leveling headlight motor thingy. I thought that was only in the European market.

BTW clean out your catch can line from the valve cover. Its the worst part of your engine.

It is a e-code beam leveler. No e-codes on the car, I just thought the switch looked cooler then the blank.

There is no real way to clean that hose out, short of replacing it every so often, keeping out of the boost to keep it clean, etc.

I'll probly just end up putting a new hose on before scd.

i don't care if it doesn't have a gt87 and 1200whp or whatever, this is hands down, my favorite 9000. ever.

next time i see you, i'm buying you whatever non-alcoholic beverage you want, you deserve it ;)

after that, i'm kidnapping you to make my car all purty.
