Loving the Saab content. We have two Saabs in my family. When driving a Saab one must remember, "when trying to find the correct button or switch, look for it where you do not think it would be and you will find it".
not a problem if you grew up with saabs, then got into a civic and didn't know where the key went
Why wouldn’t you tune a Saab? Always been cars with great midrange torque, turbos before turbos got popular
Saabs have a cool mystique about them. I have a 2005 9-3 with bcb stage 3 and full 3in turbo back and the car turns heads everywhere. I specifically chose Saab for their uniqueness, looks, and sleeper style not to mention it feels soo good not being yet another guy with an evo, mustang, honda, or anything else popular. To sum up the feeling of driving my tuned 9-3 is like knowing that people think you're the underdog but you try and hide a sinister smirk of knowing you can blow doors off whenever you need to.
What a great video...For once, nobody is shouting at the camera, nobody is trying to look uber-cool, nobody is showing off, just a genuine, honest, fly-on-the-wall view of a day out, with some good car stuff thrown in...I absolutely enjoyed this, thank you !
Saab are more than just very tunable, extremely strong engines! I broke the power record for the old Trionic 5 internals(piston, crank and rods) and trionic 7 ECU with 634whp/685wnm. Still staying strong and wont die lol! Got some videos of it on my channel from last autumn.
I really do prefer this over a video on a new Porsche or Lambo, this is more about a passion for cool cars with a bit of story often told by nice people. So yes Misha please do more of this!!
Mike is such a cool guy, real easy to talk to, wants to have fun, knowledgeable but not douchey, And drives an awesome car. I hope he makes the trip over to Nurburg someday so we can see this awesome car on the ring! Saab's don't really exist in my country, I think I've seen one in my life, so this is extremely interesting to me personally. I'm just upset that we didn't get such a cool car
Mike seems like one of those rare 100% top blokes.
The only problem i have with him is now i want a Saab.
You can get one for very cheap. They go for like $2000 American
They're really cheap, and hard to get parts for
Getting just the engine is awesome let alone the car
2000 viggen here, stage 2 tuned. Not many cars on the road that can beat me from 40-100 mph.
I'm addicted to my 9-5. A lot of potential with a dohc 2.3 liter engine and Turbo Boost.
I drove a SAAB 9000 Aero for years, it was tuned, 3" downpipe, injectors, intake, mbc, ran around 20 psi.
That's what I'm doing every day right now
Mike was a great guy. Local folks like that help make trips to other places much better. It would be nice on days when nothing is going on to put up videos about peoples cars.
Why? Because racesaab! At least you're original with a Saab. You can alsways buy a Golf like the whole world does..
Gearbox is the only thing you need to keep a warehouse full of, but damn those B2x4 engines are amazing.
Yes mike is an amazing talker. Pleasant voice even.
Hi Misha: Yes! If you find interesting people who have done unique things to their cars, definitely do 'ride-alongs' with them and interview them. It gives a different kind of 'car experience' to the channel's normal flavor!!
Nice 9-5 there Mike!
Seems like such a genuine and nice lad, awesome and unique car aswell!
When you popped the hood I got jealous 😞
Lots of possibilities with a Saab, have a very wide history when taking the time to look into it. The 99 Turbo started the turbocharger hype pretty much on his own. Own a non-turbo one from 1975 which I am slowly improving. Than the 900 classic came, the one everyone knows with the iconic design. including the H-engines that where used until around 2003 and are very strongly designed. low rpm, much torque and almost always turbocharged.
Here in the Netherlands there is a very lifely Saab Club where old guys with two stroke 1950-models meet young guys with the turbocharged 2000+ models.
The H engine was used in all 9-5 untill the new gen 9-5
but can it go saab7?
Nice Saab guy!
Great to see brother Abbott and map tune in 2001 took my sabb 1991 9000 to over 550 hp to the wheel was a fun expensive project over 30,000 grand it was a rare Air flow model beautiful saloon car and a slepper ....... loved that car .....Good to see so many years later people are starting to really get it.....your friend from Washington D.C
Proper respect for Dyana's space knowledge! A+ would watch again!
What a genuine carmrade. Btw the jokes are going to be the death of me :D hilarious.
Hope you guys enjoyed our fair city. Shame about the weather but it’s usual for this time of year. What a great sleeper Mike has with that Saab.
that gen 9-5 one of my top 3 cars of all time for sure
just so good
2 Videos with SAAB, you are bringing me big hopes for 2018! :D
Great vlog, yes I would enjoy hearing other people share their passion with cars, with that and the weekly chats with Robert should make for an interesting mix along with the usual Nuerburg content will be amazing!! Also great story with Dyanna and the dirty underwear!!
Best bang for the buck in Sweden
Hahaha.......Great Motto Mike !
Thoughtful host and a super cool car too.
I used to have a Saab 900i and loved the ignition key feature. It had 235,000 miles on it and still ran like new when I sold it!
Im a big fan of your turbo dismount videos
Goed om te zien dat jullie van een "weekend weg" genoten hebben. Mike doet mij herinneren aan mijn Ford Transit MK1 motor ombouw van V4 naar V6 in de winter op de oprit bij mijn ouders terwijl het buiten zo hard vroor dat er bijna een Elfstedentocht geschaatst kon worden, good old times.
I love the spirit of such unique cars. I think Robert would like the Saab as well. Nice Taxi! :-)
i own my first saab now, a 9000 with the B204, its a blast even only on 8 psi
Dam misha that girl is pretty! Glad to see you both happy and enjoying being a star ! Loving this kinda content too 👌
Damn that iPhone at 8:14, you just made me look for mine to find out who the hell is bothering me again! :-D
Nice gent with the Saab, always liked them. Did Dyana like the black pudding, we never got to find out?
tony scott she loves it, but the one at the hotel was meh
Very lovable Saab. Btw at the end of the video it get to me that he is wearing excactly the same hoodie as me while i was watching the video haha
Honda Freaks Hoodie Carmrades!👍👍👍
Thankyouu for posting this video along with the build specs, now I'll be able to find everything I need to build my 9-5.
The Punisher series is so good, binged the whole thing. Can't wait for season 2
It was pretty good. But tbh I like The Punisher in the Daredevil series better.
Is Mike open to being contacted to better understand all the modifications he has carried out?
David Mazzotta By all means if you’d like to know anything I’ll try my hardest to answer with pleasure.
Mike seem so cool! say hi from Sweden :)
Mike seems a good lad!
Hey just found this vlog👍👌...please if possible do more Volvo and Saabs because here in the USA we don't really know much about these cars...
We need more of these vlogs👍
Nice vlog glad you had a good time in England 🖒
Digging the Saab content Misha....done the 2.0t, 2.3t and looking for an aero to mess with.
Don't get caught by James May - he'll unpimp it on the spot.
Niet omdat t moet maar omdat het kan haha Keep those differents in the vlogs coming. Love the content and it allways brings a smile on my face👍
Nice video Misha. I hope you got to feel some of that boost! :-)
Very fine Saab !
Nice Vlog as always Misha. So, why would you tune a Saab? I tuned 2 of my 9-5's, the third one was a diesel though, with an ancient Opel engine. But the petrol 9-5's have a turbo, remaps are cheap (Karl @ Noobtune is a hero!), parts are cheap, and once you know about DI cassettes and crank position sensors, they are actually reliable! My last 9-5 Aero had 155,000 miles on it when I sold it (250,000km's) and it's still going strong. Mine had a Noobtune remap, limited slip diff, stainless exhaust, Forge recirc BOV, Jamsaab shift mechanism, polybushed, Hirsch suspension (Eibach & Bilstein in reality), drilled & grooved brakes, stainless brake lines... and a lot more! Very addictive cars, and very very fast (but no drama)!
I've always enjoyed the sleeper aspect of Saab. It's definitely an overlooked vehicle by most. Thanks for sharing, excellent episode!
Saab like the MCM (mightycarmods) wasaabi! Great content Misha!
Lovely Phase 1 9-5 very rare nowdays
any chance of a full engine spec please. love that engine bay
Denis
I had a '99 9-3 Convertible, SE version (about 200hp) and it was such a great car, though the steering was a bit heavy . I was so pissed i didn't went for the coupe version when i bought it cause it would have been perfect for tuning
Why would you NOT tune a saab? In finland we used to call them 500€ slingshots, because they go like slingshots... for only 500
Frontier is also a very cool series to watch on netflix
Dyana and Misha now you have been to Stockport your lives are complete! :)
12:23 Did Dyana miss-shift into 2nd gear while Flooring it?
Awesome vid :D
Excellent content
that Saab is amazingly civilized, i like that. And yeah, bring on the intresting custom car reviews at Apex, and if you wil not take the car on track, the roads around the Nordschleife are great as well, otherwise, you should let Boosted Boris do the talking.
Enjoyed the video, and will be a great idea to review people’s cars when they pop by Apex.
The english call everything pudding. 500hp just the perfect amount for this car
Thx as always🤙✌😁
My dream comes true I'm in your appartement!P.s : Another joke vlog... A fish and sea... Flight spin.
Mum, i've seen a hole today and it spoke to me like a Dyanasaurus!
Especially older Saabs usually have quite big turbos, which is the complete opposite of the VW/Audi 1.8T engine for example.
I miss my 9000 cse
Yeh ! Love my 9-5 Aero wagon. Maptun stage 1 only, but it’s still a beast.
So good to see I’m not the only one that loves them. I’m sick of bloody BMW’s 🙄
BTW subscribed !
Saab, built in Sweden by Trolls😂
I would like to know where to get that rear spoiler, I had never seen it.
Eduardo Ruiz Hi Eduardo - the rear spoiler is from Abbott Racing in the UK - sadly they’re no longer manufactured but very occasionally one might appear for sale. The best advice I can give is to look on eBay and on the Saab forums and Saab Facebook pages. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. If you want to see the story of my car it’s on Instagram under saabmike66
parky2310 that hurts, the truth that I usually look at from time to time on eBay but I never saw one equal to the sale. If for a casual one day you see one for sale do not hesitate to contact me, thanks!
in your area is their smog / tune laws they enforce when you add on, in california we cannot do much to make performance increases
Greetings from Colorado, car kids! I have just one question. Why tune a Saab when you can tune a fish?
No wheel spin on aircraft because the wheels are not driving the plane forward, the wheels only brake the aircraft so to speak, and only under certain speeds.
I realy like this consept :)
Great cars!
Where did you get your intake pipe from? Looks lovely
Drive a focus diesel. Really do miss all 3 of my Saab's
Cool car, would've been Nice to see some more driving action ;) i also plan to upgrade my Volvo 740 and v70R. But first i need to find the time for it :) specially since the 740 still has some Running issues.
Love your UK ones!
damn misha did some looksmaxing
She's so smart!
they sure tuna fast saab
we have a SAAB that we stuck a big-ass turbo on so the turbo lag is real.
as soon as you reach 60km/h: woooOOO
Because you cannot Tuna fish...
Do more others tuned cars. Must be alot coming by your way.
Blutwurst in Bayern (Böhmerwald) can taste quite like black pudding. And I've had Sachsenwurst that tasted like Haggis; I guess it depends on the Metzgerei.
Don't tip staff if you're in Japan!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and seeing this vid is very timely for me, as I'm wondering if I should buy a Saab. B¬)
I'm happy swedish boy now ❤️
Why tune a SAAB? Because you can't tuna a fish.
Very nice video like always! Misha, I want to know your opinion about installing an K&N panel air filter on my BMW 125i F21. But after searching on the net, a lot of people say that those filters aren't good for the engine because the filtering is not as well as a OEM filter and those could also 'destroy' MAF sensor. Is it save to change my original filter into a K&N filter? Love u Misha! :)
Hey Dyana i was thinking really hard but i think you could answer me my question... So you can tune a Saab but can you tun a fish??? ;P
they are very very tuneable for starters.............
good video
he doesn't make bad videos
I come often to the nurburgring and just finnished my car for this year.
What first was a stock BMW e46 320i is now a swapped to a 330i with a supercharger (318i on the back for the memes). (350hp 400nm) (faster than a e46 m3) Brake upgrades, poly bushings, suspension upgrades everything. semi slick tires. If you are interested in it you can make a revieuw about it. I drive the crap out of it on the ring and different tracks around holland and Belgium.
rob mulders Subframe reinforcements aswell i hope?😁
Boss ofcourse!
В гостях хорошо, дома лучше! Exactly my words ;)
i have the 2 liter turbo with 150bhp. put a chip it and got 180bhp plus much better fuel economy. it kicks like a horse as well
All that horsepower and no video of speedometer while accelerating :(
Emiroj wheelspin anyway
Misha Charoudin well obviously. I've got a 380hp Saab 9-5 2.0 tuned by Nordic. So anything above 400 is just too much up until 4th gear before you get a good grip (If u're aggressive on The Throttle) . Just thougt it was sad that no acceleration was showed in the clip considering There are 2 videos of this car. The content is good so dont take it as criticism!
Emiroj There was some speedo footage but it was omitted at my request because I didn’t want to incriminate myself. I’ll try and post some runs on my page at some point but currently I’m still running in my newly rebuilt gearbox so big pulls were never really going to happen. Your car sounds very well sorted too - I love the 2.0 Saab engines, they’re very responsive. With the forged rods and pistons, combined with a 5.5kg Abbott Racing lightened flywheel my 235R engine actually revs quicker than the 2.0 but still delivers the torque of the 2.3 - combined with the MapTun/Enem 268 Cams it’ll keep on pulling until 7200rpm with no loss of power at all. - These big Saabs are so good it defies belief what can be done with them!
parky2310 yeah I thougt about that you maybe didnt want to post speeding cause it could be used as evidence in worst case.
I have the cosmic blue color. Just let me know if you ever need any parts since I live from Sweden and every scrap yard is so cheap here. Like leather seats for 10 euros for one if you bring your own tools etc.
I appreciate your ride! Greetings
