How about foglights? my glass has em. :D

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

OEM has to do with Original Equipment for that specific model... Based on the criteria you just laid out I could take a 5.4L V8 from an F150 put it in a Mustang and say that the car is completely OEM. It is a direct bolt, requires no modification, and it is made by Ford.
To attempt an argument that a glass sunroof could be OEM on an SVX is a complete waste of time...:rolleyes:

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Then an S4 grill on anything other then an S4 is not OEM. Nor a 97 grill on a 92. Or if you argue that those are acceptable, then putting a modern mustang engine in a 68 would be OEM. I had to make electrical mods for my glass headlights as the harness doesnt have enough wires. Are they not OEM?

Some times you just need to use common sense, sorry, but gimmie a break and contribute something useful

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

Here is something useful. The original SVX accessories catalog for the JDM Market.

Click HERE

I have the hard copy of this catalog. Most of these accessories are long gone. The listing of what was "available" or "unavailable" was inserted into the catalog you see here by Japan Direct Import Service

That was about 4 years ago.

The part numbers for each item are on the last page, with 1992 prices.

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

Oh no, theres more items to add if you want the full spectrum, you seem to have forgotten:
1- the security system w/ keyless remote
2- (or)the key unlocker with built-in Ir system
3- the morse door handles

and i am sure theres even more items to add :)

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

security w/ keyless remote... is that not what most SVXs have? or is that something different?

To my understanding, the IR key system has to many stupid components to make it likely to be transferable to other non IR cars. Yes? No?

Even so, pic/thread with info

Morse Handles, there must be a proper name for them. What would we need to get them on our US cars?

This is where I need help from you couple hundred viewers...

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

I don't think it is feasible to have all the accessories that may have been available for the SVX, there would be duplication.

The main reason I have all these extras, I have 3 UK cars, and they came fully loaded as you guys in the States call it, plus I have two Japanese cars, including one of the rare 4WS cars. And the 4ws one is supercharged at present.

Oh, I forgot another one, I have a set of the OEM German market 17" rims that the SVX came with in Germany for special order. Click on Betty in my signature to see those.

One of my UK cars I am keeping bone stock, it has only 40,000 miles and is a tight and lovely car to drive.

Of the others I am going to make two "special" cars.

Black Betty the Ebony car currently has the German OEM rims and Japanese closing mirrors. I will be fitting it with a 5 speed manual transmission and 4.444 final drive. It is getting the S4 grille and I could fit the Alcyone hood emblem, but probably will not do so. It already has glass lights and power washers, and I'm thinking that I will add the fog inners like Zavikan, but if so I would add H1 HIDs to power them. These would be in the UK lamp chassis which has the powered leveller from inside the car.

Once I get it that far I might consider boring the engine out to 3.7 litres, but I have no plans to supercharge or turbo that car.

The Japanese CXD car [G5] that has 4WS is currently running with a supercharger and has 6000K hids. But on crap Japanese plastic headlights. It also has a BBK upgrade and 17" rims to accommodate the calipers. In addition it has a bigger custom exhaust to flow the extra gas.
The upgrade plan for that car is as follows:
Glass lenses fronting the headlamps, but I might just fit UK glass lamps with the remote levellers.
Water injection.
Moving the alternator underneath because I insist on having aircon.
Smaller pulley and more boost. About 350 hp.
Upgraded gearbox [auto] with 4.444 final drive.
I have heated leather seats I intend to fit to it.
Bluetooth double din stereo.

That's about it. It will not need much more. It should be a nice everyday car at that point, it has just covered 100K miles lately, and the only thing I don't care for is the three tone colour scheme. It is what it is, so I accept that.

With those two I'll have a UK car with Japanese extras, and a Japanese 4WS car with UK extras, supercharged.

Other than that all I'm hankering for is a white one.

Seeing is believing, :pics: are needed of the key with built-in IR system as well as the door handle with the hole on it.

Sorry to hear about your rusty sunroof...

BTW, from the little bit I looked in... the glass panel is from an overseas version of the impreza, I guess... and just happens to fit the same "cartridge." (the sunroof unit frame, installed to the underside of the roof.)

The steel and glass versions are probably largely designed to the same specification, just a difference in the panel material, clear transparent glass, or solid with a headliner on the inside.

Subaru probably worked with a company like Webasto, or American Sunroof Company (ASC), or other OE supplier, and specified the design, and the panel part is modular between them.

I would call it a "cross fitment", since the SVX was not fitted with it, but the part evidently fits, from another source.

Oh ye of little faith.....

:D

Pics coming.

BTW what the Japanese call the curiously named "morse" door handles is Keyless Entry.

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

A few that have been missed.

DRL Daytime Running Lights fitted to all Canadian SVX

Power Button on the JDM
180 kph speedometer
BBS wheel option on later JDM
Air Con system on JDM (with Display), nice feature is it allows heat to flow from the vents (keeps fingers nice and warm in colder climate)

Canadian SVX do not have security system

Heated seats on at least 94-97 CDN models, the 92 CDN models I have seen do not have seated seats, not sure about 93

Re: unfinished oem rarities list. Help me out you svx crazy people.
 

I would have to argue that what comes on a car and what can be fitted or modified are two different things. Yes, the 97 grill is OEM, but not stock on the 92 - 96 SVX. That is not the way they were sold. A glass aftermarket moon roof (clear/see through) is not stock. If the SVX is modified, it is not stock and is not the way it came from the factory. Your list shows what different OEM items came on different models and markets. (USDM, JDM, etc)
No car came with all of these things because not all of these were available to the different markets. Just a couple of things that needed to be noted. :o

As far as the Glass Moonroof goes, it may have been OEM for some car, but not for the SVX. It was not stock on any SVX, but a dealer aftermarket install. It should not be listed for an OEM Stock part.
