I can vouch for this car, as I drive it at least twice a week. The new owner will be very pleased with this car, as it runs and drives very smoothly. No stalling, sputtering, or clutch chatter. Ive driven 3 mt svx's (This car, and TomsSVX's 5mt and 6mt) and I must say, I love the clutch and the shifting in this car the best. It just clicks from gear to gear, no problems.

John, you forgot to mention, the tires are in good shape too, with many miles left on them.

He also did a nice job with the clear lenses up front.

The interior is also in good shape. The seats are free of rips/separations and the escaine is in nice, clean shape.

The car is worry-free and ready to go.

In case anyone were wondering from the pictures, the passenger side visor does not droop, it was down, and the drivers side has minimal to no droop.

Yea I got a chance to drive that car around town. It definitely drives very nicely and doesn't feel like it has 162,000 miles. The clutch is very smooth, the only thing I could think of that was wrong with it was it was missing the muffler tips but thats it.

Thanks Tim! The tips will go back on for the new owner. They're still intact :)

I feel kind of weird selling it, but I got another to ebony to build up, and I could use the money

Another voucher from me too. I have seen this car in person a few times and it is very clean and in excellent shape. The headlights look perfect and the interior is in great shape as well. I think i remember saying something to you about how clean the interior was at atco in the summer :D

I'd also like to vouch for this car as John was gracious enough to let me drive it while up in NJ last November. Great car being sold by a great owner!

Piece of advice John, as it is a rare 5speed, you could easily get a pretty penny for it on Ebay... :)

01-17-2006, 09:54 AM

3 out of the 4 shoguns are dead, they fell victim to PA roads. It has the stock wheels.

Mike621

Only one of those is unfixable. The others *might* be fixable. and only one tire went bad. Underinflation killed them.

A Laguna FWD 5 speed would be a monster at the track!

There was a 6MT for sale for $2800 earlier today on NASIOC. Just go to the privat for sale forum and search for "part out" (I think that's what I was searching when I came accross it). Otherwise, be creative and think of some applicable search phrases.

I give it my stamp of approval. I took it for a ride at Reading and it's very solid and natural feeling. If someone wants an SVX that they don't have to worry about breaking, this is the one. Good luck with the sale!
