Alcyone Svx Accessories Catalog

svxcess · #1 03-19-2001, 09:29 AM

This was sent to me by email from the japan Direct Import Service. It is the catalog of accessories for the japanese home market SVX. It is in my briefcase at http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/svxcess?d...d19%26.intl=us

I think the American models are a hoot (and so are the floor mats) There are some interesting things in the catalog that I would like more information on. There is something on page 7, items 16 and 17 which I will try to get a translation on. But they offered ski racks, surfboard racks, and other intriguing stuff.

The wheel cover centers say SVX. I wonder if the center caps for the alloy wheels say SVX as well.

I asked him to send me the actual catalog and I think he is agreeable to it. Anyway ENJOY!

I have the floor mat set!!! Very nice they are, too.

These are the accessories that are available from Subaru dealers in Japan. However Subaru no longer manufacture them, so some of the popular ones, like the rear spoiler are sold out.

Item 16 is an air cleaner, designed especially for Japanese who are heavy smokers.

Item 17 is a solar meter (?). Not quite sure what it's purpose is.

I wish our cars came with the climate contol controls like on the Japanese version. I think it is much nicer.

Just in case anyone thinks I have bad taste, the floor mats were the first thing I replaced after I bought my car.

paddlesnz,

First of all...wow! You guys are so lucky over there. I was wondering if there was anyway you could get me one of the SVX decals on the side of the alcyones....I would be more then happy to pay for shipping and a little bit extra for your trouble.
Thanks alot,

Damn! And here I was thinking I would be first with the "scoop" on the catalogue mounted on a site and SVXcess beats me to it! Ah well, be a bit longer before I release my website to the world!!

I am keen to get some of the SVX stickers as well if they are still around/available! *big pleading smile/grin at paddlesnz*

Regards

I would be interested in some of those decals if they were available. If not I might look into having some made.

I will make enquiries this week at my local Subaru dealer as to whether the decals are still available.

Went to my local Subaru dealer today to enquire about the availabilty of the accessories. He said that as the SVX was not a big seller here especially in later years, only a very limited amount of accessories were ever made, and most have sold out. However, he is going to check with Subaru Head Office and get back to me in a couple of days.

Here are the availability details of the Japanese SVX accessories.

Items 1, 7, 19 and 20 are definitely sold out.

Items 3, 4 ,5, 13 and 15 are in stock at Subaru HO but very limited quantities.

Items 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 are shown on the parts database as available (soemwhere in Japan) but not in stock at Subaru HO. Quantities are probably very limited.

Availability of items 16, 17, and 18 is unknown at this stage, dealer said would take some time to confirm.

This is the latest information I got from Subaru Japan/Japan Direct Import Service:

" Cabin Air Cleaner: Catalogue says that this cleaner works by the electrical power of car battery.

......P/N G3015PA000 ...It is 43,900JPY or $481.77 US

Cabin Air Cleaner circulates air in the cabin by electrical power of car battery, and cleans dust and the stench through a filter in it. This cleaner is controlled by a switch that is installed around driver's seat. it starts working for 5 minutes with Hi-mode linking with the air conditioner; then it is changed to Low-mode automatically. Manual for the installation is also attached in the box, and we heard from Subaru that you can install it easily. (I will translate the manual if you purchase.)

Solar Cleaner: Catalogue says that a fan of this cleaner works by "solar electrical power", and removes stinks of the cabin. After that, good and light smell of jasmine remains. You should think this equipment as an aromatic. Actually, this equipment has a solar battery in it, and a fan works without any sources of power. But it works only for an aromatic, and doesn't work for the cleaning of air in the cabin. Also, liquid in it has to be purchase once it runs short. You can install this anywhere you prefer because this equipment is fixed by a double-side tape."

......P/N K0072YA000 ...It is 5500JPY or $60.36 US.
