Re: Every member please check in here!

Hi,

I was posting on www.svxworldforums.com, but that seems to a have gone now..

Does anybody know if the site got archived before it went down?

Anyway, introducing my self here: I'm Ian, I have a black 1992 LS with 148K on it. A couple of weeks ago found a large (fist sized) rust hole in my door sill/jam... much sadness. So a few days ago I picked up a Pearl 1992 LS-L with 47K (with a rebuilt transmission still under warranty!) for $2k. It also comes with a very loud rear wheel bearing, some random electrical problems, a cracked radiator and over due timing belt and water pump change (just general major tune up). Once I get those out of the way I can start figuring out what's really wrong with it. Paint and body are in fairly reasonable condition, roof paint is poor, but I'm fairly happy with this as a start point.

Then I need to figure out what to transfer from my Black one (AMR suspension, new MAF, etc.).

Cheers!
Ian.

Re: Every member please check in here!

Hello,
Bought a black 97 from Robert Brooks from Va. We have owned Subarus since 93. Which back then was pretty uncommon in Eastern North Carolina. Saw my first SVX in New Bern, North Carolina in the parking lot of Books a Million maybe around 1999 or 2000. Really wanted one after that, not sure if I might have seen one more, maybe. At best Robert's would be the third SVX I ever laid eyes on and I bought it. Also currently have a 87 Brat I have owned 20 years this past November and a 93 Legacy I bought in September to upgrade the motor in the Brat. Finding myself still driving the 93 Legacy back and forth to work, lol. Wife has a 2011 Forester XT bought new.

So far the only thing I have added is Kosei 16" lightweight alloy wheels and General 50 series G-Max radials. Reduced weight by a touch over 12 pounds per wheel/tire. The car already came with lowering springs, Stebro exhaust, all new brakes with SS brake lines and a true cold air intake.

Thank you for allowing me to join this community.

Re: Every member please check in here!

When I had my pearly I had thought I would like the tint on the side windows. Then some one made a remark that my car with the clear glass sides made it look more like a bubble top. And tinting widows would do the opposite. Your a lucky guy having salt free cars to buy. Looks great almost bought an all black with full tint Windows. Ended up buying the guys wife's pearly.

Hi,

I'm guessing that this is a good place for my first post. I just joined last night, and I am fairly new to the svx scene, but I am confident that I will learn fast.

In a couple weeks I should be the proud owner of Mike621's 92 pearl SVX LS. I've already caught the SVX "fever" as some of you guys call it and am in good hands as I have three friends with SVX's, and South Jersey seems to have a good number of active SVX owners.

So this is me saying hi, and I am glad to be on for the ride. I am sure it will be an enjoyable one, and I am proud to be part of this community.

cheers,
Excall
