Whoa, I didn't think this forum was very active. Glad to see I was wrong!
Thanks for the kind words and advice.
My last car was an 85' Porsche 928 ... got rid of that beast a few months ago. The SVX is in good hands, no worry there
I'm glad to hear that in fact I *do* have the LSi model. I've been wanting to drive an AWD (particularly a Subie) for a loong time ..
I will try and locate the FWD fuse tomorrow and pull it. I'm not exactly sure what binding is, but I will look for anything funny when I turn with AWD on.
I'm from BROOKLYN by the way. Always good to see other New Yorkers/Tri-Staters as well ;]
