Thread: Making a Eurotrash car... Need your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have had this Saab as a daily for over a year now. It was only as balls, but I had 24 hours to get a new car and it was low miles and taken car off...

It has grown on me big time. The car is a little beast, so I am starting to collect some ideas on doing a few little mods. The saab community is small and full of old dudes and 15 year old boys. I want to completely eurotrash this car out. Slam it, matte paint, spoke wheels. The whole 9 yards...

Problem is... I have no idea where to start. I dont know good saab part sites, i dont know what looks good when doing this, so i was going to ask you guys. I am starting this weekend on the first batch of parts, which is mainly performance and lights...

here is a pic of what i am dealing with now

Im talking about real parts, not the sites that sell everything for everything... like a real saab tuner (if that exists)

GenuineSaab.com

Good luck! I wish I could help you but I just want to say good luck. My first car was an '88 900s, white with purple velvet interior O_O and loud exhaust. I would LOVE to grab an old saab and eurotrash it!!!!!

Glad to see another eurotrashed Swede.. hahah Gonna want coilovers or bags to get it low. Throw on some matte paint, maybe a rust hood if you'd want something like that. Basically you can use old school Rat Rods for styling inspiration. From there, making it more the eurotrash style, are things like driving/fog lights, full straight piped exhaust, bonus points if it comes out the side, and maybe some BBS's if you're into them. If you want to get wild, somehow fab up a roof rack. Interior, the more unique you make it, the better it looks, though some will say there's a point, but it's your own damn car. Get plenty of vinyl die-cut stickers for whatever you like, put them on the rear window. Stickerbomb something, add plaid where ever you feel necessary. These are just all ideas which have caught on. Part of the euro trash style is making it however you want it, add things it doesn't need, things that most people would cringe at, make it as unique as you're willing to go. Hell, I have half my rear window covered in stickers, multi colored wheels, matte blacked rear windows, beaded seat covers, and a 6" sticker at the driver bottom of my windshield that reads "Fucking Classy". Just do whatever you like.

As for the parts, engine specifics are great from JZW Tuning. For general aftermarket GenuineSaab is good. For OEM parts, FCPEuro is your best bet. Hope I could help!

Thanks, I am currently in my garage trying to rip apart these fvcking struts... I have a bunch of parts coming for it in the next few days, but finding install time is a different story

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Not many modded saabs out there.

I put some HIDs in, but the suspension was a fail this weekend. I did replace all my bushing, but the suspension kit didn't work for a vert. I sent it back and waiting on the new stuff. I should be dropped pretty low...
I replaced the ECU with a BSH tune, and picked the power up slightly. For exhaust I have a Bassani muffler off of the GT500 laying around, so thats getting welded on at an angle

currently i am lurking the web for some classic looking spoked wheels, that aren't chrome. Also, looking for just random things that could fit on the car that could be cool

Hey crgray have a look at Hirsch. They are the house tuner for Saab.
