Some big changes

So I sold the Beretta and many of the extras. I am also selling whole or parting out my Saab.

I bought my dream car(dream thats semi affordable) :

I am flying out in a couple weeks to drive it home. The price was great, I was going to pay that for one with 70k miles in PA. There was one in CT with 26k miles for 27 grand. I am extatic.

I am going to keep the car semi stock, what ever I take off I am keeping on the side. The car gets 18whp just from a down pipe. I am going to take the stock 15psi and pump it to 18 and do a couple of bolt ons....thats fast enough. They were underrated from the factory like the SRT-4s are today. They dyno at 205-225hp and 245-260 at the wheels and were rated 225 and 252 at the crank. I am going to stop at about 280whp 350tq.

Here is an example, just 3psi over stock and exhaust mods:

3rd gear, 50mph punch, watch the needles

So I am out of the 60degree family, but still sorta in the gm realm.

I am also getting over 30mpg highway and my insurance is CHEAP!

I have skymiles, so I am flying for free. The black one I am going to try and sell for a grand whole. I have a rare airflow kit, full aero interior conversion, 2 year old trans, and the wheels and tires(17's) are two weeks old. So I am going to see about getting 1-1500 for the whole car, its runs even, just a bad head gasket and the water pump likely should be done too. Dealer wants $1300 for a stock exhaust too lol.

I want to look into having the spokes powder coated. This will keep me from spending 2k on BBS when I have new wheels. I want them gray to match the side trim. I love Photoshop

Viggen is insured already. I am only paying $850 a year, no mileage restrictions..about what the Retta is costing.

I went into my soon to be gone Saab and took some good audio that fits my new one.

We have MBQuart Q series 6.5" components with competition crossovers and 2.5" tweeters 4" mids

Yet to be removed are MB fronts, I think 3.5" with 1.25" tweeters with comp crossovers again.

I have a limited edition Rockford Fosgate 250.2 chrome punch amp. The ends have some pitting, so I think I am going to have them redone and stripped and powder coated silver to match.


There is also a newer Rockford 4 channel, which is nice that it lights up blue to match the car.

I also have the two week old Alpine 310 DVD player touch screen to go with it, so I have a complete setup. I just need a sub. I am going with a 8W7 in a JL audio box since it isnt too big and the weight is 44.5lbs.
