Re: The SVX and you
That being said, Tom has me dead to rights. 6,7 and 8 were written for me  Looks like I've got work to do... PreCat back exhaust, poly bushings and camshafts coming soon.

7. Rubber, it dries out. Engine mounts, transmission mounts, differential bushings, exhaust hangers, control arm bushings, swap bar bushings... These things are going to fail. You own an old car, get used to the idea.
8. Oil Leaks, its a Subaru... its going to happen. FIX THEM! I have seen undercoating wiped off of the bottom of some of the cars that come into the shop because the oil simply breaks it down. It is not helping anything.
