Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Hi Friends! Not much to report on my SVXs lately. I did bring the JDM over to the shop to have the aircon evacuated, as I have a leak from the heater core (again).

Once the engine is back in my...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

The GC8 is my favorite Impreza.

Looking good, here.

The pile of parts for my 1992 SVX is growing. Gasket set, water pump and timing kit, and struts are waiting to go on.

I am moving...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

The arm and booster look good!

I am slowly gathering some of the pieces for my 1992's head gasket work. Work on both of my Subarus is queued until I have the engine back together for my 911.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

This weekend I repaired a friend's car. Tune up: Oil and Brake fluid change, timing belt, cam seal, valve cover gasket, spark plugs and water pump. The car was leaking oil and coolant, but runs okay....

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Looking great! You're helping me get motivated for my next round of repairs on my project cars!

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

I ordered a pair of fronts and two of whatever side rear strut there was remaining from Subaru. Front mounts were available, but rears are NLA, so will re-use the mounts. Thankfully, my 1992 has been...

Re: 3 top SVX Models For sale

The 1993 looks like it could be a nice car. It is hard to tell with the minimal detail provided and the unclear photos.

If you could post more detail, and clearer photos, its more likely you'd...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Today, I picked up new struts and mounts for the 1992 SVX.


I also inquired about a 1992 SVX LS recently traded into the local dealership and whether it would be sold.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

I agree on the importance of cleaning. While I'm not looking forward to having to do head gaskets on my 1992 SVX, it will be a good opportunity to clean up the engine, port polish and refresh the...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Thanks guys. I'll check the fan when I get the car out next. I've order the head bolts and pick up some gaskets.

Re: power window issue

Hi Bob,

Sounds like the window motor has quit. Once you have the rear seat out, and panel off, you could
1. try another switch (like putting one of the other side switches in this position) and...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Yesterday, I discovered a blown headgasket on my 1992 SVX. I was out for a drive and noticed a fluctuation in the temperature which is unusual.

Once I stopped, I checked the upper hose which...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Brought my 1992 SVX into a local repair shop to have the A/C evacuated and recharged. This took two cycles on the machine, but I'm pleased to say it took a charge and the compressor is working!

I...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Today, I replaced the hose from the condensor to compressor with the 94+ type - earlier cars did not have the r134 inlet on this hose. I also swapped out the AC drier unit with a new aftermarket unit...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

I promise photos once this hose arrives and I attempt installation. Hopefully this is a fun little project for me over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Peter, I think the dryer may fit. Going to try again. However, I will need to swap the return line to the later style which has the low side port on it.

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

This week, I swapped out a torn seat cushion with a spare seat bottom I had on the shelf. I'm taking a break from wrenching on the 1992 SVX and moving on to another project in my garage.

The 911...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

This morning, I took out my 1991 SVX for...

Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Agreed! This is why I usually clean the wheel arch and undercarriage of each car I get. Many older cars in the US often have either a coating of fluid leaks or rust. I may look to do a complete...
