Re: Ever wonder what some 18x9.5 +38 wheels look like on an SVX?

I like the look, actually. I don't always like over-aggressive treatments.

I wonder if there are any mild front fender arch extensions that would fit the SVX's front fenders. The rear clearance...

Re: Italdesign Giugiaro Brivido Hybrid Gullwing Sports Car Debuts At Geneva

Yeah, they bought out Giorgetto Giugiaro and his family a year or two ago. I think they still have a small stake, but VW now owns most of ItalDesign.

If it were realized, I am not sure. Not...

Re: Bruised and Beautiful

If I had a nice SVX, with a tuned-up engine, I would do the 'ferrari-like' or STI-like treatment on the engine. But a little darker red color than shown above, that is less tomato-colored.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

I guess they were showing of what they'll never build again XT, SVX // BRZ. Seems almost like a taunt, IMHO. The only thing left, would be a pristine GC 2.5RS Coupe.

BRZ may be good at what it...

My Claret has fairly straight panels (probably replacements after it's damage), but the chassis underneath is bent.
