Why's my SVX so light?
 

I've driven a few other SVXs and noticed they feel like big lead bricks in comparison to mine. Their steering is tighter and they aren't as quick. Why would this be?

92s have a different type of steering system compare to the 94+ models and 92s are quicker/faster than the 94+ off the line.


Just a personal experience. I have no solid evidence.

I know that there's two types of steering (speed sensitive and the other), but I've driven a couple of other 92s and even they have fealt like this.

By the way, I'm sorry to hear about your tranny troubles and I hope you get it worked out soon.

Perhaps you have a nicer lighter weight version of the 92 (or you lost a ton of weight :D)

I hope my tranny issues gets fixed soon. It is about time though. The tranny does have about 65k on it's rebuilt clock.

My thing now is rebuilt tranny that screws up every 80k or a new clutch every 60-100k at a tiny portion of the rebuilt cost.

I just don't know yet.

whispers >If you build it (5spd) you will....<

ah nevermind. I'd choose the 5spd though. PLUS, if you drive it like a baby, the clutch will last probably more like 130-150,000 miles, maybe more.

Sounds to me like you answered your own question with that one, Lwin. Go with the 5-spd! :cool:

Look forward to meeting you at Reading next weekend. :)

Unless I find a solution to this tranny issues, I will not be there at Reading. There is no way I am getting another SVX again at Reading. I am happy with Chloe at this time.

Davies car does feel light
 

I remember driving davies car. it DOES feel lighter than the 92 I have. Must be those polished stock wheels!

hmmm........
 

I dunno Lwin, my 94 has a very light and quick steering, even my dads Outback can't compare. I haven't driven any other SVXes, but I can't imagine a better steering then i have now.
Is there a difference between 94s LSi and lower models, L, and LS? Could that be the case?

At least make the trip with Doug or someone else in your area. Hard to imagine you not being there. :(

Re: hmmm........
 

Yes. The 94s L, LS are front wheel drive and the LSi is all wheel drive. I'm sure this has something to do with the matter.

Re: Davies car does feel light
 

Either that or parts have fallen off the car over the years. :rolleyes:
