It’s the end of a long weekend here and whilst posting has been slower than usual, that doesn’t mean I’ve been idle the whole time.
Work has continued slowly on the SU Forums. See below.
——
A new skin has been added to the Saabs United Forum.
For those wusses with sensitive eyes who couldn’t handle Laser Red, there is now an Arctic White alternative 
Just scroll down to the bottom of the forum and in the footer there is a style selector drop-down box. Click that drop-down and you’ll see the options there.
Fusion Blue is next.

Avatars are finally available!!
You should crop your Avatar image before you upload. Max size is 20KB and 80x80pixels.
And speaking of Avatar, did you like James Cameron’s faux enthusiastic reaction to his ex-wife beating him out for the Best Director Oscar?
——
There is now a DIY forum included in the Saabology section.
That was at the request of Mike900, who posted a very good guide to making an iPhone camera mount so you can video your exhaust note:

I’d like a jetblack skin…

abbott racing exhaust = lots of aussie dollars but sounds good.
not sure what to make of the su forum.
think of su as the eqv of BBC News ie reliable info, delivered in a professional timely fashion,
for forum adventure i sort of get lost in the mad mayhem of saablink.
just a personal observation and no offence intended.
Ohh… fusion blue, I miss my fusion blue 9-3 2.0T
I thought James Cameron’s reaction was really hilarious. I’ve got to get ” Hurt Locker”. That’s on my list for the Saab Stars Poker Club.
Mike900′s car exhaust note was something else. Definitely sounds better than my free flow exhaust(Hirsch)on the 9-5. Wonder if he hit the red-line on the last burst?
Unfortunately not….. I had to shift early, about 5000rpm because I would have missed the little exit road I started on.
….. but there’s another bunch of streets in the area I may just need to visit on a quiet morning, to get some better audio of the engine and exhaust working harder. Going to try some different mounting points on the car too!

The Arctic White has definitely cooled off the laser burn, nice
Definitely has a more ‘snarl’ sound than the Hirsch. However I’ve had the Hirsch for 10yrs/over 100000 mi without any probs. and in snow salted roads at that. Wonder if it’s stainless steel.
Re: FORUM
Maybe I’m late to the game. But will this blog still continue with a parallel forum in place ?
http://www.saabsunited.com/forum/showthread.php?30-When-to-discuss-here-vs-directly-on-SU-articles
MitchbSC asked: Will a philosophy or policy be developed guiding us as to when to post here [SU Forum] vs. commenting on a SU article via the Movable Type system?
SW responded: YES – It’ll just take time
MitchbSC prattled on with: Some of the longer discussions like the 92 small car concept would be better served with the features here on vBulletin.
SW responded: Agreed. That’s part of the thinking behind this. To allow deeper discussion without the danger of it slipping off the front page
I like red.

Always on the longest road home when out there with my SAAB. Always!
Thanks for the video Mike900! Your car both looks and sounds amazing! I’ve never been able to test drive an og9-3, but that doesn’t stop me from admiring the Viggens.
On a more personal note, it looks like you and my brother share a scar in the same spot, haha.
Hahaha
I’ve had that little scar since I was about 6 yrs old…. running down a tiled hallway in socks too fast, and then landing chin first after not making the corner at the end.
Ouch!
I forget which caused the scar on my brother… It was either us wrestling around and he hit the edge of a wooden table or the wooden edge of our dad’s stereo speaker frame. He was about the same age. Either way, it was pretty messy–as I’m sure it was for you.
Cheers!
that exhaust sounds pretty darn nice. i’m surprised that there wasn’t any wind noises captured on the iphone.
You didn’t think so? I was actually a bit disappointed with the sound quality. I want to try to figure out how to make a DIY fluffy mic cover thingy… Like you see on boom mics
It definitely has the potential to sound better than in that video
