I was working yesterday on my car when a guy approached me from behind and starting speaking to me in a very provocative way. I turned with a face and the grinder in my hand but when I looked at him I was like ... He was the subaru master technician at Subaru Lebanon. I know him very well, we started discussing the mods I did to my car and the fiberglass and stuff, and then we turned to engine mods...

I told him that I have a chip in my ecu made in the states and I am working on the right setup for my engine (the hardware)... He didn't even let me finish my sentence until he told me that I need for sure an STi tranny to go in there or else the engine configurations I will be going with will be useless... and If I was not going with the engine mods, a nice 5mt impreza would fit ... "euhhh, well how you know all that???"... "haha, I converted a black SVX from an auto to a manual long ago..." He told me that the tranny got messed up and would cost around $1800 just for parts in 1997, the SVX was a 93. The owner was a little about the repair quotes and decided later on in 1998 to convert it into manual. Because he was a close friend of this subaru master tech, the latter did the conversion for him using a Legacy GX manual tranny with its differential... I was like Where the F is that SVX now??? so he took my business card (phone number) and promised to give it to his friend to call me and show me that car...
