It was for sale for $2,200 a while back, is that what you paid for it? If so, that was a good buy. :) A little work and you can have that one in very good shape. ;)

Hi

I am a big Subie fan (I have an '08 STi) and always wanted an SVX. Just bought a well worn black '97 LSi with 91k miles. It's a project for me and my sons for this summer and we're looking forward to making it much more presentable! :D

Welcome to the addiction! We should all have a local meet soon, as I have yet to make one and there a quite a few new people popping up here in the Seattle area. With all the nice weather, it may be time for a maintenance meet. Hopefully my car will be running again.

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

That would be great! But I might have to drive my other Subie if I don't have the SVX running better. We'll see after tomorrow when the guys at Smart have a look at her!

Tom - welcome to the site. It is great that we have another member in the area. We are a pretty active group and we have our annual Dabob Seafood Meet at the end of July. I hope you can make that one. Let us know if you have any questions and we will help as much as we can. Hope to see you soon. :)

I got your car registered and you now have your registration badge. :)

I saw a claret today parked outside the Everett Event Center. Tinted windows, 5-spoke wheels, and a '97 grill (or I guess it could have been a 97 car). Very clean. I was extremely impressed (and jealous). Anyone know who it could belong to?

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

I would guess it is MacGyver's. He lives near by, so it could be his. He has custom wheels as well. :)

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

All I know is it was damn sexy, and I am assuming whoever it belonged to knows someone in the 2010 graduating class at Cascade High School. (graduation was last night at comcast arena).

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

By the way Earl, what are the details on the Dabob seafood meet? Although I do not eat seafood generally, I would love to make a meet.

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

Thanks Earl- for the welcome and the badge!

Where is Dabob? I hope to get the car reasonably presentable by then!

A quick question- where's a good place in WA to buy parts? I was trying to take apart my rear side marker lens (full of water) and snapped the end off!:mad:

Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about the water anymore!

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

I think I may have a lens. You could just come pick it up. That way, no shipping.

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

I've been spotted! :o

Thank you for the kind words! But she needs a lot of work in the body/paint department. But for a 220,000+ daily driver she still gets a lot of love from me so maybe that shows through. :D

I actually work on the in-house video crew at the Comcast Arena (just part-time, mostly the hockey/lacrosse games). We had been working all the graduations, ending with the big triple header of all 3 Everett schools on the 19th - the end of my 2 week nightmare! :lol: But at least some of that extra income can go in the SVX fund. :cool:

Hope to meet all you "new" guys soon!

I was at Smart Service in Mukilteo Friday and Andrew drove up so I got to meet him and see his beauty. :)

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

Well your SVX was most certainly worth an honorable mention. My girlfriend literally had to pull me away because I could not leave on my own. :D
Ahhh....I'm such a geek

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

Sorry it took me so long to find this thread!

Howdy! I'm Galen, and I've been addicted to the products of Fuji H.I. for almost 10 years now. I have owned at one point or another at least one 'ru from each decade, except a 360. The stable is pretty deep ATM, but since I picked up my '96 Ebony about a month ago, I will be thinning the herd. Despite being my DD, I drive it as little as possible. (Gotta keep it under 100K miles!)

My car is the typical "little-old-lady" story. Her husband said she couldn't have an SVX when they came out, so, when she devorced him, her first purchase was obviously an SVX! Never smoked in, never been through a machine car wash, original tranny, blah, blah, blah. It is, by far, the nicest car I've ever owned.

Can't wait to meet some other SVX owners and see everyone's cars!

Re: SVXWN - NW Area Group
 

Welcome to the network, Galen. If you have not done so yet, you should register your car here and you will get a badge. Are you planning on keeping your car completely stock or slight mods or what?
What area are you from? Seattle, up north, Tacoma?...etc...
