Also, they did a Dodge Charger and DeLorean this season.

 

gonna move this
its more saab media related

 

First time I've seen it. Cool show I'd like to see them sell that on here

 

First time I've seen it.

it's pretty entertaining. they did an SPG a while back, too.

 

I watched this last night.

I'd never heard of the firewall thing either, and they never specified if it was something that was exclusive to the 9-3 convertible.

They did the same thing with an older 900 a few seasons back. If I remember correctly they sold that one to someone on Saab Central.

EDIT: Beat to it and corrected.

 

Cracking firewalls are common on RHD models I believe.

 

That's right.
The brace not only tightens up the steering but it also prevents the fire wall from flexing and cracking around the bracket.
Its a big deal over here. Its only on RHD models.
If you get a brace on before it cracks it will be fine. If you don't, its a massive job to try and fix it.
I've had a brace on mine for a while now and mines fine .
But I know of people who's firewall has cracked and it was a $1500 job to fix.

 

I watch that show all the time, love it. Hadn't seen the one with the 9-3, I saw the one with the Classic 900 Turbo. I wish there were more shows like these but from the US instead of all the lame customizing car shows. Who cares about Justin Bieber's Cadillac?

 

Sweet! That vert is like my european twin!

 

that motor did not sound good when he first checked it out lol

 

yikes, after watching the rest of the videos, that motor has too much top end noise.

Thats what i was thinking..Thought maybe they were all cold starts though

 

yikes, after watching the rest of the videos, that motor has too much top end noise.

 

That stupid girl is going to get a 9-3 with a steering rack clamp and brace without realizing wtf it does...Why can't I have stupid luck like that.

 

That engine was mad noisy

 

my thoughts too, and he said " it sounded all right" sounds like a car that needs its oil pan cleaned or leaky exhaust mani, or something!

 

Mike D, go on fbook chat.

 

New episode on Velocity right now.

Mike and Ed are in America and Mike just bought a 69-70 Dodge Charger with a 383! :th_MySaab900Like:

 

It's not a new episode. Still a goodie.

 

Really?

My cable guide lists it as new with today as the original air date...

When was it on?

I can't figure this out. Is the car in the UK with Ed?

 

Yeah it's about a week old? Its already on youtube. Im too lazy to check the real date.

 

Anyone see the last episode on the Mini 1000? The first car he looked at had c900 leather seats in it.

 

Yeah I noticed that haha, neat!
