    Did you get rid of the Saab because you didn't like it, or was there another reason? You got me lookin at the Areo for a long range snow wago(high 3000 RPMs for over 3hrs starts to get to me). The new rims look like a good fit. I'd say paint them black with some chrome features(valve stem, lugs).

    i got rid of the Saab for a few reasons..
    1. it was a ticking time bomb of problems
    2. i couldn't afford it anymore, things such as gas and maintenance. also, i still owed a bit on it and wanted to pay it off. i needed the extra cash for other things =D
    3. i just didn't "love" it.. something never clicked with it and me. i guess i am just a Honda person!

    if you want a newer RELIABLE wagon, i say try to stay away from any turbo subaru products. if you want a Saab 92x, just get a Linear =)

    thanks Bill!
    i think it is pretty obvious what the "get-away" car will be after the wedding :D
  • man i love koseis those are perfect size too.... man i need a damn exhaust so bad the hks is my all time favorite
  • what muffler was that car original for ive been wondering what muffler to go with...
  • I am pretty sure all of us old guys warned you about buying that damn car, but kids these days don't want to listen!! ;) Good to see you still around!
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    kids need to learn the hard way! :P it all worked out for the benefit of everybody tho =D

    metalfrisbee, the exhaust is an HKS for EF Hatchback. i had to custom fabricate the pipe that bends over the LCA, but it was pretty easy and turned out real well.

    hey guys..

    did a bit of a serious cleaning of the interior, as well as wired up some stuff "the right way" (door locks, rear fogs, adjustable headlights, etc..). also shortened my OEM shifter a couple inches, so that the boot would cover all of the rod. its cute lol.

    ended up using an entire box of laundry detergent.

    still not 100% done, have to finish reupholstering my passenger seat, and also waiting on my BLUE lower console (finally traded my gray one!)

    nice SEATS!!!

    those look awesome!
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    Just need to figure out what to do about the door cards to make them match. I thought about wrapping them in the same color gray as the seat backs, in leather or pleather. But... Aint nobody got time for that! Or monies.

    maybe find some wagovan door panels??? they have no color or fabric in them right?

    i think thats right...

    Yeah wagovans just dont have the fabric.. Which means i could simply rip off the fabric from my panels.. Buuuut i dont like that bare look. Looks far too cheap lol.

    Are you sure only Wagovans don't have fabric on the door cards and seats? I know for sure my Wagon is base model and I have both. I thought those "vinyl" wagons were just kind of oddballs.

    Love the cloth on the seats in the white Wagon too. Stock?

    Yes, we're sure.

    It's always possible somebody swap your panels.

    yeah i kinda agree... I dont know how you would go about matching the door inserts to your seats... Ive never seen anyone do a decent job when re-appolstering any EF door panel... but i have faith in you!

    Import panels?

    I've fantasized about this myself lol

    Are the Germans the only ones with LHD? Every time I think I know, I'm wrong.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    All europe is LHD, except great britain. They did have Beagles (from which i got my seats) in LHD edm markets, but the chances of finding a set of door panels from one are near zero!
