Re: Front license plate bracket bolts?
Thanks for the diagram, but only two bolts actually attach the bracket to the car. And since my friend is in a bit of a hurry to get plates on the car so he can drive it without fear of being pulled...

Front license plate bracket bolts?
When I sold the SVX to my friend, I did not remember to give him the front license plate bracket. I took it off the car in 2001 and it sat in my toolbox until this morning when I grabbed it before...

Re: Bad transmission
The transmission is currently assembled. I took the transfer clutch housing off several years ago but put it back on to protect the parts from exposure to the air.

Re: Bad transmission
If pulling the diff and transfer clutch assembly would help somebody keep their SVX on the road or provide them some peace of mind, I would be happy to pull them.
Both the diff and transfer clutch...

Bad transmission
Hello,
I have a bad transmission out of my SVX, which I just sold. The new owner didn't want it. To tell you the truth, I don't even remember what's wrong with it, but you can be pretty certain it...

Re: Took my SVX out of storage yesterday.
Man, I haven't paid much attention to this site in the past several years. The last couple weeks, sure. But will I be around much a month from now? I have to say it's unlikely. I'm at work seven days...

Re: Took my SVX out of storage yesterday.
Well, all of a week and a half after I got the car out of storage, it's gone. A friend of mine is driving it back to Milwaukee.
I kept it together, but my son did not. He bawled, much like I did...

Re: Pulled My SVX From Storage - Just a Few Pics
Mike, your car is gorgeous. You're the one who brought the fact hat RX8 wheels fit on SVXs to my attention. I happened to have an RX8 laying around! :p
But you do go a bit overboard with the RAW...

Re: PCI timing belt after 50 miles.
Whoah.
I put a PCI timing kit on my car a year ago. I drive the SVX very few miles, but it's been great. I bought a full kit with new idlers, and I replaced the tensioner (not included in the kit)...

Re: Took my SVX out of storage yesterday.
Colin,
Of course I remember you. I think the last time we met was at the USGP in Indy. I hope you and your family are well.
Selling the SVX is very sad. A friend of mine agreed to buy it today....

Re: Took my SVX out of storage yesterday.
I told both of my friends I'd take $3k for it.
As pretty as that picture makes the car look, it's not perfect. But it is a very good driver. It has no serious faults. Just a lot of little ones. It...

Mine hasn't been my 'daily driver' since 2001 or so. It hasn't seen a winter since then because I've had another car to drive. I put a crazy number of miles on my SVX in the first couple years I had...

Happy 20th!
So, I realized yesterday that my SVX is now 20 years old. It was built in March of 1993.
Of course, I don't actually have it here to give it a birthday pat on the roof. It's in a friend's barn for...

Re: RX8 wheels - tire choices?
Heh, I have an RX8 and an SVX. It didn't occur to me that the RX8's wheels would fit on the SVX for a few years. Of course, the SVX sat in the garage, broken, for most of that time.
I have my SVX...
