Re: The Value of My SVX
No value added for the coilovers and wheels? :( I know that mods don't increase value but how many SVXs do you see on aftermarket suspension? :D
When I say bad paint, it has rock ships and 2 dents...

Re: 4eat be made to handle more?

Re: 4eat be made to handle more?
Thanks again guys
So the RWD "conversion" is clearly out.
Regarding the 5mt, say from an RS, anyone else think it'll be in pain with 320wtq on a +3600lb car? No sidestepping in the dry and the...

Re: STI suspension swap tutorial
Oh...I must get two of those sway bar things, although I know the stock sway bar would not do anything...12k springs up front.

I didn't take that many pictures while doing it but I'll try to make it as good as I can.
My only concern is the alignment, and the fact that I don't know how it's gonna be. So I don't wanna...
