The official what have you done to your SVX thread

HighwayUFO · #1 01-24-2011, 12:03 AM

Have this on a few other forums that I frequent, good place to just pile together what we have done to that SVX of ours in the driveway. Maybe with enough popularity, this will be stickied.

To start off.

I blew up something in the trans a few weeks back, and thanks to the lot I bought it from, offering garage services, I tried to take it back numerous times. Couldn't get anyone to take a look at the cause of the trans leak, took off to Nevada for work. KABOOM! Towed it back, and there it sits since the 7th of Jan. Should finally be almost done.....and a free repair is in order thanks to their neglect of the problem I brought to them.

Post up what you did to your SVX today!

Looked at pictures of it. She's hibernating right now... I miss my car.

Returning my oil pan and all its contents to engine today. If my parts arrive tomorrow, I'll reinstall the intake manifold then.

Cleaned resolder maf, replaced both knock sensors, refitted ignition switch, pulled and reinstalled security module, no joy, pulled both interour door panels triing to fix door locks and pass door light, no joy, and just for kicks did a tranny swap and fender repaint on the parts car so that its now a daily driver parts car. Does washing and waxing alot count? OOPS just read the post part that says today, not all this was today, I am somewhat human. Cheers to all..................G

Today? I drove it to work 30 miles through stop and go traffic, attempting to keep it revved at all stops, and eyeing the pulloffs waiting for the inevitable stall on the freeway. No problems though, just 30 miles to go tonight driving back home in the dark.

Tomorrow, if she continues to behave, she'll get a much needed wash and wax from the valet at that office.

Oh, I hope I cured the negative battery cable problem for good this time.
