Subaru SVX (Page 1/4)
Fiero Thomas JUL 16, 07:03 PM
Besides Fieros I have a deep love for SVX's I just got another one and wanted to share. This is the second one that I have gotten. The first was totaled out. The Transmission exploded into a thousand pieces. All the wheels locked up and boom it went. This one has a lot of nice upgrades to it but I am longing for stock wheels over the 18" that came with the car. They are hard to come buy out here with an owner that is willing to sell them. Most of them are rusted and this one is solid. I have to do a few things to it to make it 100%. So far has a alarm system with remote start and a pager on it. I will document what I can as I am a bit slower now dealing with these medical issues. I am glad I found another.





Thank You for looking
Tom

I think those wheels look just right on the car but that's just me. I've never driven an SVX but always kinda liked their looks. Even those odd side windows are kinda cool.

I have wanted an SVX for years, but those auto transmissions are the devil's work. These days you can swap all sorts of parts from modern Subarus including a manual transmission, so that's the path I'd take. If an already swapped SVX popped up for sale, I'd be all over it.

I agree I like the wheels to but I can feel a bad spot on one. I am going to take it in to see what the bump is that I am feeling. If it is a wheel I will take it in and have it fixed.

Fixed windows today. Found that I had a faulty widow switch. Just ordered some speakers for the front doors as they have all the surround missing on them. All the work done so far is zero dollars as I have had all the parts. Thank god.

A(n) SVX provided the engine for my 'Long EZ' Canard Aircraft. I never saw the car, its the engine turbo charger and radiators-- actually two oil coolers reworked to fit the cowl

Its pretty compact fitting.

Cool deal that it powers a plane.

So far I have fixed the issues that I had with the car. New Tires and Half shaft. I had an issue with the keys. What i was given was the valet key and this proved to be an issue. The alarm is active so it locks the doors after 30 sec. If the battery dies you are screwed as the doors can not be open with the valet key. I found a Canadian company that could recut the keys and it worked. Now I can get into the ca with the locks on the door. I will post more photos soon as I am working on the sound system.

Thanks for reading my thread!!!!
