Re: Parted ways...

This one has been lowered a bit, so you can imagine how harsh the suspension is! But boy does it like to go fast around those sweeping highway onramps and offramps! Really like working the...

Re: Can/Has it been done?

Just about anything can be done if you throw enough money at it...

I'd rather see someone power up a stock EG33, and of course do an MT swap as well, all in the same car...

Re: Just bought my first SVX!

Welcome, and I hope you're still enthusiastic about this car in another year...

There's no way I would've bought something like an SVX as my first car. Honda or Toyota maybe, but an SVX, nope. ...

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

Got the windows tinted today. The rear glass and stationary glass on the sides were done with a 5 tint (very dark), and the roll-up windows were done with a 50 tint (max here in VA). The dark tint...

Took the car to a window tint place I've used before, to get an estimate on doing the windows. Have an appt to get them done on the 12th. I'm going to have them do 5 on the stationary side glass...

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

Was driving back to VA from NC last Sunday, and heard that one of the rear speakers was blown. Got a new set of speakers installed today, Memphis 6.5 in coaxials on the doors, and Memphis 6x9s for...

Re: Fox Sports Exhausts

Yeah, that looks a lot like the stock muffler, don't see why someone would want to buy that. With a little bit of creativity, and a good muffler shop, I'm sure something could be fabbed up. ...

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

Thanks! I'm a Craig's List junkie, and when I was looking for a set of wheels to replace the stock 16" ones, those Accord wheels were the only ones that had the same offset as stock at +55mm in 17"....

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

After she was all cleaned up, I went to a local Ford dealer to check out a 2017 Fusion Sport sedan (twin-turbo V6, AWD, 6-speed auto with paddle shifters, quad exhaust tips, 325 hp / 380 torque,...

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

Got my lowering springs, drilled rotors, organic pads, and s/s lines installed the other day. Took her thru the car wash to get rid of all the grimy fingerprints, and she's looking good! Those 17"...

Re: Trans slips

Well, apparently it was like has been suggested, one of the front drive axles became "unseated" from the differential. The trans shop tried explaining it to me, but I got the general idea. They...

big box at bottom of fender

Question for the group: there looks to be a large black plastic box of some sort that's right at the bottom of the driver's side fender well. Mine is loose, and appears to be hanging down a bit. ...

Yup, dropped it off and picked it up at closing time the next day (they had it for two days, because of ordering new rear calipers).

I'll do the obvious and check the fluid level, assuming there's...

Lug nuts comparison

From what I can gather, the lug nuts on the SVX are M12x1.25 (12mm across with 1.25 thread pitch), correct? I found a set of 17x8 +45 Mustang wheels, but their lug nuts are 1/2"-20.

So my...
