New Here From North Jersey with 73 Charger and 04 Saab 9-3 Aero - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

bordin34 · 08-01-2010, 10:16 AM

I've been looking at these forums awhile but never posted so here is my stuff.
This is my 73 Charger it currently has a 400ci, 6.6l, engine that puts out just under 300hp and about 400 ft lbs torque. It is an automatic unfortunately. I rebuilt the front end this past spring and almost doubled the spring rate and used poly bushings to give it a more modern feel. I also have a 440ci,7.2l, engine sitting in my garage in pieces to be put in sometime, it should put out about 450hp.
I also have a Saab 9-3 Aero, totally stock with the 215hp 2.0l

welcome to the site any pics of your car... come out to a local meet if you have time

bordin34 · 08-02-2010, 12:22 AM

Yup I just had to get to the three post limit to be able to post them, here they are. And no I don't drive it in the snow.

The 440

The Saab, I never thought I would say this but the little 2.0l in this makes me miss the torque of a v6.

very nice! welcome to TST...

mckchr67 · 08-03-2010, 07:33 PM

Welcome, nice to see another saab on the site, good luck with that thing. Nice charger also.

wade869 · 08-03-2010, 07:43 PM

that charger is sweet man! welcome

mckpat03 · 08-03-2010, 09:42 PM

Aero's FTW. Nice cars man.

Sgt Tunez · 08-04-2010, 01:44 PM

Love the Charger!

omgjacki · 08-04-2010, 02:15 PM

Love it, welcome!

bordin34 · 08-04-2010, 05:45 PM

Thanks, I just got the Saab, I got rid of my 03 Pathfinder to buy. So far the Saab is great and the mileage it gets is even better, plus the turbo sounds cool. I took the Charger for its longest drive ever about a week ago, it was about 100 miles and the car performed great and got 15mpg doing it which is actually good.

natedogg713 · 08-04-2010, 05:58 PM

welcome, i remember see the pic of your charger in the snow on NJT. man thats my favorite car and i wish i had one so bad! good sh*t man.

bordin34 · 08-04-2010, 07:20 PM

Yeah I had this on NJT until the site disappeared. When I took that picture I actually couldnt get back up the driveway until I shoveled it and my K-Frame, the frame the engine and suspension bolts to, was plowing the snow and made it so my power steering wouldn't work and it was only about four inches of snow at that point. It was fun though I drove it around my 1/4 mile street before it was salted and had absolutely zero control over the car above 5mph, the steering was basically aim and pray.

M Solo · 08-04-2010, 07:30 PM

love the charger dude

Saab93Aero · 08-04-2010, 07:44 PM

welcome!

Rush · 08-04-2010, 10:41 PM

Nice Charger! My Dad owned one for a long time -- I'll have to show him these pics of yours, I'm sure he'll love 'em.

bordin34 · 08-06-2010, 06:46 PM
