Everyone on here has been very helpful so far. My SVX has 111,XXX miles, and was not maintained good at all. I have lots of little things to do to it. Fixing the PS o-ring leak this weekend. .99 cent part cost me $4 total to have it shipped to me!  Plan on seafoam treatment for intake, then plugs and check valve(IRIS) next week or next weekend. Going to also do the altenator upgrade and power mode switch when I have the time. Next would be the timing belt and water pump. Then brakes(had new OEM parts installed just before I got it, but want vented/drilled and steel lines. Next tax season, I'll be looking at where to get some 4.44's the cheapest! Don't want to do it myself, so looks like I'll taking a vacay to Ohio or Pennsylvania to have it done! Can't wait! Maybe I'll have a chance to meet some other members while I'm out there too.
I read on here before in a post, that there is a Subaru tech in St. Paul that is a member on here. He said he does travel and works on SVX's. If anyone has info on this guy, please let me know! I'm in Northern Iowa and could use someone close to help me out with things I can't figure out or do.
I LOVE this forum and will be a member as long as it is here! I love my SVX and can't imagine buying anything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI- I agree, the search feature does suck! Needs some improvement there for sure! |
I'm in Wisconsin, and would be glad to help you out. I'm on Lake Michigan but have no problems traveling (thats an understatement
) or otherwise you could bring your car to me. I have done a trans R&R in my silver, and 2
in my laguna in consecutive weekends. I will be doing a 4.44 swap in the claret I picked up next weekend and a few weeks later will be doing another 4.44 swap and full engine rebuild on my silver. Feel free to message me if you would like.
I love this forum, come on it every day, multiple times. Without it, I would not have the knowledge that I now do, and also wouldn't have traveled 2900 miles to pick up the claret. Also, it is very likely my silver would have been sold if it weren't for everything here. Most people here I would consider my friends, and quite a few have treated me just as so. I feel that this is currently just a transition period for this forum and that in the longrun, everything will work itself out.
