Cloning My First Car! Updates On My Saab 900 Project (Cost of Ownership, Upgrades, Future Plans)

- I recently bought another Saab, a 1995 900SE Convertible! It's nearly identical to my first car, which was a 1997 model that I got in 2004, i.e. Saabkyle04! That '97 Saab was the car I learned to drive on when I had my driver's permit 'back in the day'. Hard to imagine that was around 11 years ago now! With the channel rapidly approaching 1 million subscribers, I wanted to take things back to the beginning, back to the car that spawned this channel's name. I will be featuring it in numerous Vlogs over the next 6 months. The plan is to upload the "In Depth Review" for my 1 million subscriber special video. For this video, the second installment in this series, I clone my first car! Cosmetically, the car I bought was in great shape, but it was missing a handful of components that would make it a true replica, so I bought all of them and got them fitted to the car. I'll also be discussing what the car has been like to live with over the last few months or so, what I've had to repair on it and what the future plans for it are. I hope you all enjoy, it's certainly been a fun project for me! Can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us :)

Thanks buddy!

Well... He does look like a Saab owner.
Oh man you are so right lol
How Saab owner look like?
Smart and Responsible and a Graphic Designer.
Like a dentist
usually when someone get's 1 million subs...they jump off cliffs or off helicopters and scuba diving..
Seinfeld would be proud to drive your car.
Awesome! hahaha
+Saabkyle04 Nice to see someone who appreciates cars in their original glory. On a less serious note, what a time capsule! Takes me back to my summertime somewhere long ago...the days of bowl hair cuts, the Spice Girls, Lion King, Pogs...the OJ trial, Slick Willie in the White House, and the Macarena

great video just subscribed yesterday
I grinned like a Cheshire cat when the mechanic finally lowered the car: those new tires really jump out and make a difference! The all-black Saab 900 Turbo is my personal favorite, but congrats on your new purchase and fingers crossed for one million, Kyle! We love ya! You and your channel have grown so much over the years: it's absolutely inspirational! Go, Kyle!
I've watched your videos for several years, keep up the good work! And I like the Saab 😁

I have been watching you for years, you deserve it my friend. I love to go back and watch all of your cold starts and older car videos, its awesome watching you change your approach on how you do the reviews. You're so polished now and you do a great job, congrats ahead of your 1 million mark!
Kyle...You will Definitely get the Million mark..You really take me to another world that I dream about..Thank you Buddy
I've been watching your video since 09 when you first started with the junkyard start ups and I'm so glad you brought back the old day elements with the Saab! Being in the health profession like you hope to be able to do what you do someday! Thanks for keeping the passion alive! :)
Kyle, love the amount of pride you take in the quality of your videos and cars. You'll hit a million subs very soon! It's been really cool to see your channel's growth and it's great to see you doing what you love full-time. I'm very jealous but thanks to your vids we can all live the dream vicariously through you!
Beautiful car. I had a 98 900SE turbo 5 speed. I loved that car and it was fun, fast, and unique. Too bad some lady decided to park her car in my trunk and totaled it.
Didn't cost much in maintenance and it was a convertible, forgot to mention.
I like that you're prepared for this big milestone and do something special for the fans, it's an interesting series so far
I actually really like watching these videos. Very informative and interesting, gives me something to look forward to after school. Keep up the good work and you'll have 1 mil in less then 2 months
I really like your videos Kyle and how fascinated about cars you are wakens the car guy within me.I hope that best to you and good luck with 1 million subscribers! :)
Bringing a SAAB back to life. You make us proud!
Had a 900s for years. If you can get used to the quirks and leaks, it's awesome!
Your videos are so good! Keep up the great work and you'll hit a million in no time!
nice video Kyle, I do enjoy older cars so this was really cool for me. Keep up the good work and I hope that you hit 1,000,000 subs!
I appreciate your understanding of putting value into your car through having work done. People like us, who understand this concept, are a dying breed
You're a rock star Kyle! Keep up the good work!!!
Can't think of a channel that deserves 1 mil more rbs this one. Keep up the hard work
Thank you my friend!
After watching your channel for years, it's good to see your child-like smile in a saab video :)
Thanks! Gotta take joy in the small things in life :)
Great video Kyle!
Have been a sub since your first family fleet cars videos! Keep the great work!
I really hope you make a million by years end. You definitely deserve it Kyle.
i love project cars! its great seeing something unique on a channel instead of your traditional miata/240/whatever project car. its cool to see someone restoring a car completely out of love.
amazing car dude, you've done an exceptional job and respect to that car!
Watching someone work on a car properly is really satisfying. Well done!
Nice video Saab and your Saab looks great man you have nice taste when it comes to detail with OEM parts
That's awesome love the car! Hope to see a lot more videos on it!
I remember my 1999 Saab 93 hatch back was a great car until it had problems great video and love the tires and wheels and all the customs
He sounds like a nice guy. I think we could get along.
I really missed videos like this, welcome back with used cars
Loved the video Kyle. I have recently done the same thing buying an e36 m3. great decision. The nostalgic value far surpasses the cost.
Love that body style. I had a 97 900S as my first car, and got a 2002 9-3, the last year of that body style, a while ago. Apart from replacing a few suspension wear items, it's been really good.
kyle just looks like an overall chill ass dude sometimes
Enjoyed every single second of your story in this video :)
Good video Kyle! I was watching to see how much work you had to do. It was interesting watching what you replaced. I am like you and enjoying doing this kind of work. I have been doing the same thing with my two Oldsmobiles. One is at the body shop right now. I think it is great watching as you explained what you had to do and how things worked out. Thanks Kyle. Keep up the great work on your channel.
Thanks a lot my friend, I appreciate that!!
You are most welcome Kyle. You earned all those subscribers.
I feel you bro . I miss my Saab 9-3 . My first manual !
Way to go (: Love your Saab Kyle !
my dad's second car was the 1997 model. epic car.
Great looking car, and the new wheels are worth every penny in my opinion! I love three-spoke Saab wheels, and they really finish off that clean look for me.
I love your videos, Im a huge Saab fan. Im on my 4th Saab its a 2002 95 with 200,00 miles. I did have a white convertible back in 2000, a 5 speed turbo of course. Michelin Pilot tires made it handle amazing.
Nice one Kyle, Your SAAB is looking mint !
LOVING the Saab man, looks so nice!
Wow! It looks awsome after you finished
This video is relatable as hell!! Love/hate relationship with my Saabs.
Awesome video! Car looks great dude! Congrats!
That laugh when he talks about mechanical costs and cosmetic. lol!
Oh. I didn't knew these new generation 900 had front reverse lights too. One of the coolest features ever!
Just purchased a Saab 900. Brought it off eBay blind. Turned out to be a amazing buy for £350. Same owner sins 2000. Garaged all it’s life. Every receipt and document present.
This makes my soul happy.. I remember in saablink I believe following ya,.. I miss my 97 900se :|
Wow! Beautiful SAAB, Kyle! Greeting from Moscow! (and my black 210hp 9-3 2008my)
6:10 That light at the end of the tunnel, well I think it may be a train...
Hahahaha!
the light at the end of the tunnel and the challenge is over
what will be a new project to start in the dark of the tunnel and reach the end the light ?
where did you start ? i remeber the video of the car detailing
to cars sudden its press cars ?
and anything what you love to beside cars ?
alberto
+Saabkyle04 what happened to the dodge?
Hohohoho! Du you plan on converting the 900SE emblems to the 900 turbo ones?
- A13X - a
I really enjoyed this video. My first car was a 96 900s. I had so many issues with that car, but I loved it.
Thank you!
Love ur videos keep up the great work
Sabbkyle04 looks like an 18 college kid but acts like a 45 year old dad.
In all seriousness, love the videos!
I work for Scania Denmark A/S, i love how you take care for the saab car.
Definitely digging those "new" rims. Old ones not really doing it for me. Very nice job on all the upgrades you made
those wheels are defining for a saab you gotta rock them!
Beautiful specimen, Kyle. I wish my 95 9000 Aero looked that good. :)
Noticed when the tech was reinstalling the wheels you might have a lip on your brake rotors. So when your pads wear down and require replacement, you need to budget for new rotors. For pads I really like NAPA Ultimate. I’ve used them on numerous vehicles and find them relatively inexpensive but really great street pad. Great videos.
road to a million. unbelievable!
1:03 creepy laugh
Cringe
That's nice I have a 1995 Saab 900s convertible. There good little cars. Nice to see them on the street
Saab...the best cars they made in the world.Better as all other brands,you have to drove one to believe it.
Great video Kyle, makes me miss my black 900 convertible even more. Mine was the 2.3 non turbo 4-cylinder, great engine and surprisingly economical! My Saab was incredibly reliable for the 10+ years I owned it. I've been watching your vids for many years now and have to say I do miss the old 2nd hand clunkers you used to review too. How did you get to do those? Just walk up to car yards and ask? I love Mercedes Benz too (old and new) so more videos of these would be welcomed. You only ever did a short vid on the CLK from memory, so maybe a full length review one day?
The car is awesome! Regarding the wheels, I don't love them, but they certainly add a nice touch to the looks of the car.
God damm, that Saab looks good. Love it the wheels ( it match the saab perfectly, but in any other car i honestly think that would look horrible ). The back reflector lights i really think it would look bad but damm, i was wrong in that, looks awsome too. I wish we got Saabs for sale in my country, such nice good looking and performing cars. Take good care of her Kyle, she's a beuty.
Great video. And those wheels are 10X better.
You can do it! I subscribed since 100,000
Nice project. Good luck with your car :)
That light makes car looks much more better!
saabkyle04,keep your videos going man!
I am absolutely in love with this project!! I love the idea of taking an older car and "freshening" it up with repairs and OEM parts (like the wheels and dash trim). Just wish you didnt put freakin Tigerpaws on it lol
Yessir! It's taken some time, but it's been a fun project so far :) What's wrong with Tigerpaws? haha They do the job!
I used to own a 03 Saab 9-5 2.3t. It was fun to drive but man I can definitely sympathize with you when it comes to repairs lol.
I like the wheels, they look so much better. And the larger size fills out the wheel well better
nice, I had a verified 1988 gray SPG back in 2001. strange car but still a unique machine. hope the restoration goes well!!!
Wow! That SAAB is like new. Personally I like both sets of wheels. However, the 3 spoke ones probably don’t look good on many cars but on the 900 I think they look great.
road to a million. GOLD PLAY BUTTON!!!
This is awesome!
Great looking Saab you got Kyle, there is alot of errors on Saabs,but as you said when they run, they are freaking amazing cars.
I got 4 Saabs so I know this😂👌🏻
-92 9000 CSE 2,3T 200hp
-98 9000 A50 2,3T 295hp
-96 900 Turbo 186hp
-00 9-5 Aero 230hp (to reach 400hp)
Lol last year I had 5 Volvos and no Saab, now I got 4 Saabs and no Volvo 😂
Keep it up man!!!! great Channel😂
Hi @saabkyle04 I was just wondering when you'll have a full in depth review of the new Audi R8 coming up? Well done on recreating your first car!
Amazingly clean underneath, Really good buy even with having to spend a few $$$
another common thing on Saabs is the speedometer gauge cluster and dash lights. I actually had to have my speedometer replaced once. as long as you do have the dash apart, there's no better time to go ahead and replace any other miscellaneous components or incandescent lights that warrant replacement.
Recently bought an 01 Viggen convertible. The day after I saw your video where you said you replaced the top pump, mine also failed. I blame you.
So I'm not the only crazy person who tears apart his whole dash to have wood grain rather than gray plastic! I did this in my Volvo, and it looks awesome. A big pain, but worth it! Plus the bonus weight reduction from the screws that I decided it didn't need anymore! Haha
Hahaha there you go! Love it.
the 4 cyl turbo is probebly the better engine :P
The V6 is just an opel engine if im not mistaken.
Really nice 900 they tend to rust alot so they are hard to find in clean condition even in sweden.
Ive got a 9-3 01 with some oil problems :P
Yup, the V6 had some real timing issues as well. Almost bout a red V6 900 SE a long time ago, but went with the 2.0T instead. I've got a 2002 2.0T 9-3 now, and the engine has been great.
I love Saab, I gave my 1998 Saab 900s to my cousin. Man I would love to get my hands on a 2011 9-5 aero.
Crankshaft position sensor, fuel pump and direct ignition cassette are the typical failure points on Saabs. Also the T7 (Trionic 7) engines from 1998 to 2003 have some problems with their crankcase ventilation, which might cause oil sludging and eventual engine failure. There is an update kit available for the breather.
Cool. Nice video. I would love to do that to my first car but it was a 97 Nissan Altima with electrical problems. I hated it with a passion. My first car that was actually good was a 2002 Toyota Solara SLE V6 coupe. (That's where most of my TH-cam handle comes from. GA are my initials and Solara 2002 is the car.) I loved that thing.
Viking wheels, nice. I can relate to the money pit part as well. My '01 9-3, owned for a year, has cost a lot more than it should. Paid £1300 for it (already too much), spent over £2500 getting it up to scratch and a further £1500 modifying it - and those figures don't include labour costs. I didn't buy a great example, although it's great now, but I would have considered other cars if I'd known what it was planning to do to my wallet! Gotta love them though, nothing else is quite like a Saab and now they're gone I think they're all the more special. Worth maintaining.
I drive on the roads you drove on in this video everyday!
Really nice car! I was one year old when this was build XD
Great . Bob own a saab 900 and 9.3 !
you done a good job Kyle
Recently I am doing same job with Audi A4 1999 2.8 manual. Of course in Korea.... Happy to see same purpose of job.
Here!!!! Very awesome
Nicely done!
Thanks Kevin!
Gracias amigo,buen video
The wood dash panel really makes the car. For those who don't like your new wheels-sell them the old ones. It's your car, your choice.
