    Saabs in Västerås

    Hi,

    As you say, I'm still not blessed with the Swedish language, so I had to post in this section, which I hope someone reads...
    I was wondering, since I'm coming to Västerås in the second half of the September (I'll be staying there for 6 weeks), are there any Saab events or clubs there, and are there any fellow Saabers which could show me some local Saab related facilities (such as parts shops, Saab scapyard, etc.) or show me their Saab wheels? The first round of the (rather expensive) beers would be on me

    I am a proud owner of a 1998 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo @ Hirsch stage 2 for three years now, and it would be good to talk to some advanced Saabers there, because I had many issues with my car which I had to solve mainly by myself... I've done many common modifications to it (except for 6 point brace and bigger turbo ).
    Here in Croatia Saabs are VERY rare, and it would be a priceless experience to throw a peak under the hood of some other Saabs to see what is right and what is wrong, maybe to finally see a Viggen or two, etc.

    So If you know any info, or you have some spare time for a drink, or you want to show off your Saab, you could let me know.


    Regards
    Zdravko

    It's a sad state that you haven't got any response to your post. I'm not close to Västerås, but there are several forum members living in the area, and perhaps someone could point you to local shops etc.

    its not really the season for going to club events.

    it sounds like you would really enjoy one saab turbo clubs trackdays, but sadly there are no more this year

    im not really close to västerås either (stockholm) but i wouldn't know what to show you anyway :P

    keep an eye out for local meet ups on the forum is probably my best advice.

    Re: Saabs in Västerås

    By the way, and as you may know, during your visit this autumn there will be an "Octoberfest" 13 October, in Trollhättan. An opportunity to visit the Saab Car Museum, see lots of Saabs, talk to other owners and representatives from some Saab specialists such as MapTun etc.

    Re: Saabs in Västerås

    Thanks for the info.
    I really thought that nobody cares
    I'll try to go to Trollhättan if the work permits. Was planning to do so anyway, but I didn't know about the octoberfest.

    Anyway, I'm in the hunt for the turbo, my T25 is giving up the stage 2 torture slowly

    If you find any other useful info, let me know.

    Thanks!

    Every first Saturday we take a coffe in a place close to Västerås.

    It is 20 km from Västerås, named Stömsholm.

    We are 4-10 person that is owner of Saabs and we speak about everything.

    Re: Saabs in Västerås

    I guess it all depends on how far you are willing to travel.

    Here in Gävle we get together about once a month or so. Just talking and having some coffee, and sometimes we end up in someones garage to look at a new project. Gävle is about 180km north of Västerås so its quite a drive, but you are welcome to join us if you want to.

    If you like nice Saab's and need a new turbo, I suggest a visit to Maptun Performance in Örebro, about 1 hour west of Västerås (someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the distance here).
    Maptun is one of the biggest Saab-tuners in Sweden, and all they do is Saab. I'm sure they can help you get a new turbo and show you some nice cars at the same time.

    If I pass Västerås anytime during september I will send you a a PM, I'm always up for a quick chat with another saab-freak.

    Re: Saabs in Västerås

    Well, the only thing that could limit my travel capabilities are work and my funds, since Swedish standard is quite higher than Croatian
    Considering Maptun, I'll also try to go there, at least to see their projects. But, if they're going to be at octoberfest, then I'll probably choose that.

    I don't think that I'm gonna be able to buy a new turbo, I was considering more like a good used one (TD04HL-15T would suffice), but we'll see.

    Anyway, thanks for replies. I'll track the forum and PMs

    Cheers!

    Sorry for that. The problem is probably that we don't look here in this part of the forum that often.
