Aaahhh yes driving today and the trans went POP and thats all she wrote. So it will be sitting for awhile. After medical bills comes a new trans. What the hell can I do to get ahead. I have all the stereo equipment for it so I will install that while I wait. I have gathered a few parts here and there.

That's one unique ride; you won't have to worry about seeing yourself coming and going. Those side windows always messed up my head. [This message has been edited by carnut122 (edited 08-12-2014).]

 I adore the SVX's. I wanted one before I bought my wife a 300zx (mistake) and IF you can, look into the manual swap, it really wakes the car up and it makes a pleasure to drive, more fun than a WRX.

I love them to. THis is my second one. The first one had a failure with the transfer case and the trans exploded internally. Insurance covered it and it happened again so they totaled the car. I ending up seeing the car to a guy that wanted the motor for his wrx. I just got my quote tonight and I have almost have enough to get it fixed. I love these cars.------------------

I always loved the SVX - something about them - the subtle style, the uniqueness without being too odd......gorgeous cars. Congrats!

Nice SVX! Fellow SVX'er here...
I've had my 1997 SVX LSi since 2009. Prior to that, it was my dad's car and he was the original owner of it. I remember riding in it when it was brand new back when I was ten years old. I also remember driving it the day I got my license at age 16. This is probably the one car that I'll regret selling if I ever let it go. I've also owned a Polo Green '95 with a 4.44 trans swap from an Outback that I just sold yesterday.
For those that don't know, '97 is the last year of the SVX and they only made 640 of them that year. This one is an LSI model (fully optioned) as all 1997 models were. Has leather, sunroof, climate control, and faux suede (Ecsaine as they called it then) interior. Mine is all stock with the exception of the "power mode" mod, which is adding a switch to essentially change the shift map in the TCU to adjust the shift points to higher RPM. Sort of a "sport mode" for the trans as BMW and other OEMs call it.
Here are a couple of pics of mine. It's been a daily driver since new, but I'm considering retiring it from daily duty soon so that I can fix some body rust and store it during winters. It currently has about 157k miles. The first pic was taken yesterday after a long overdue wash n' wax. The second pic is from a couple of years ago.

Nice Suby Silicoan86
Finally had the trans swapped on her and she is back on the road. Repair shop said that it looked like the car was towed with the front wheels on the ground witch is a big no no with these cars being awd. I am glad to have her going again.
