Before you part that car.
2 years, $10,000. Today the SVX was licensed again. Here is the lowdown.
Tranny crapped out on me 2 years ago, I got it fixed 8 months ago, but the sitting did a number on the car, this is what I've replaced to make it reliable again. Transmission Front diff rear diff Radiator AC compressor Alternator All vacum, egr, and fuel hoses All belts (timing, alt, ac) New cats New 02 sensors New intake gaskets New water manifold New EGR vaccum switch New dome light new map lights completly swapped interior, includings seats, carpet, dash, gage cluster new passenger side tail light new trunk carpet, floor, and sides. new time control unit new seatbelt ecu new shiftlock module new clock new tps new sunroof tracks new wheel well cowlings new tires. Yes, I'm insane. -Patrick |

What do you want a medal or something? Let's see what GW is doing next week!:D Glad you have her back on the road! |
You have more dedication than me...I do love my SVX though.
|
impressive... my loyalty (measured in dollars) is exactly 50% of what I paid for my car.
|
benebob: are you being sarcastic? hope so.
|
The man loves his car more than any other. Give him a break. Mine has been sitting for a little more than a year now too and I'm probably heading in the same direction he is.:)
|
Damn, where did you park it? Under a pine tree? :eek:
I've had mine for 2 weeks and have already spent $1500 on it. $1000 just in wheels and tires. Another $300+ for the windshield and more $ for odds and ends. |
When it comes to parting, sometimes I just wanna grab the people who complain and go, "Okay fine, I'll trade you my needs-serious-work-done SVX for your works-just-fine SVX. That way the car doesn't have to be parted out, and you can feel special." :lol:
Except then I would worry about people like Pat who actually go about fixing these things completely... :o |

What tipped it off?:confused: Yes I was kidding about the medal, no I wasn't kidding about having GW pin it up. |
Lol, I got the sarcastic note, there, Benebob.
:) |
Hmmm, sounds like she needs a good road trip to stretch her legs a bit...
Perhaps a trip up to WA for Fall Colors Tour tomorrow? :D |

That, and I'm running a lot of untested components, the towing charge from nowhere, WA, would be a little excessive if I forgot to tighten a critical bolt. I will be at the next one, as the Subaru Gods are my witness. -Patrick |
Well it certainly sounds excessive but if you lookat the cost of replacing a similar car (new) in today's dollars you're probably looking at $50-$60,000.So a mere $10 grand is a smart move....
Congratulations on getting it back on the road and for having the dedication and commitment to get it done. Are there pictures coming.... |
Pictures coming when its painted, I haven't decided exactly what route to go here, though I think I will end up doing the prep work and shooting it myself here shortly.
|
I applaud your effort. Sounds like my Claret. I cant put a price on the time put into that car.
