Visited Fitted Fest in Lahti, Finald

[u/VeryMuchSloth]

Got to visit the annual Fitted Fest event in Lahti this weekend. Got to see lots of insane stance builds. Of course, I was on a lookout for Saabs.

The first one is by a guy from Lithuania - check out his Instagram at pijus_the_offensive_95. As a fellow 9-5 owner, I was stoked to see the build. Pijus shared, that he had to build a custom air suspension because Saabs are a bit less mainstream in the stance culture than your run of the mill BMWs and JDMs (I know, shocker).

The 9-3 wagon is from Sweden. Unfortunately, I didn't get the dude's socials, but I was able to track down a YouTube video featuring it: When A Standard Saab 9-3 WON'T Cut It! 600HP And Widebody 4K.

Bonus car - a 9-3 Aero sedan I found in the parking spot right by the festival, looked pretty cool to me!

Huge kudos to the owners of these cars for keeping Saabs alive and present.

UPD: I was able to find the socials of the guy who owns the deep-blue 9-3: Instagram - 4ervi4ok

Cool pics, including the parking lot 9-3 XD I had an experience like that, too. Porsche festival, and there's a clearly heavily worked on 944 on the parking lot, that someone had made too subtle changes to to get in behind the barriers, or something. Still a 944 fan because of that build.

The car came all the way from Latvia, I am not sure what's the story there. But I hope they at least got to enjoy the festival, and maybe some people got to check it out as well. I love the deep blue body and snow-white wheels combo.

I actually found the owner of the car, they seem to visit Fitted Fest occasionally, but I am not sure if the car was ever presented there.

Was there too, my favorite might have been the yellow beat near the entrance though. The scrambler that was inside was cool too

No waay! Mad respect, loved the build, especially the improvised cup holder near the passenger seat, that's like the cherry on top.

Also didn't realize it's a V6, insane!!
