New Svx

Hey everyone,


I just bought my 1992 ebony pearl SVX!!, i am so happy, this has to be one of the greatest cars ever. Now that i have the car though, I thought that I would ask you guys, the people that know about them, what i should do to improve its performance, i'm having a really difficult time finding ANYTHING that is compatible, i'm not looking to "go all out" with mods and all, just looking to make it a little quicker and even more fun to drive. Any help would be awesome!,
- Craig

welcome

It's good to know of another SVXer in the southeastern ranks.

Can't offer much advice about go-fast mods, and you're probably already aware of the prevailing wisdom regarding a transmission filter and cooler: If you don't have these, install them now.

If I were you, I'd leave 'er be, save your money for the inevitable maintenance bills, and enjoy the ride.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

being pretty new to the SVX, i'm not really too aware of the "transmission nightmares", i've heard about it, but never really been told exactly what the problem is, and on the same side as that, what can i do to avoid/protect against this?

Do a search for transmission filter and cooler
And enjoy the ride.

I thought I tried everything. 2 coolers, a filter, a fan - still blown 2 trannies and it looks like the 3rd may be on the way.
It's worth every penny though.
