Re: Every member please check in here!
Hey just bought a 1992 SVX LS L. Needs some work but I'm exited to get acquainted with the car. This is my first SVX. I'm 19, work part time at Bose, and am signing up for mechanic vocational school soon. I want to "grow up" so to speak, with the car. Can't do it without the help of some very friendly people online tho so I look forward to getting to know some of you.

Hi, I'm Jacob, I just bought a 92 SVX. Silver and black in southern CA (Ventura). In wonderful condition and mileage not too shabby. Excited to try out visual modding of my new toy.

Re: Every member please check in here!
Hi All, new SVX owner here. New to Subarus as well.
My account finally got activated so its time to introduce myself and my new project car. I ended up an SVX owner simply by chance. I had been looking for a project car for dirt cheap to restore and enjoy and maybe someday improve. I havent had a car I could get deeply interested in since my long gone first car, a Nissan 240sx. I was getting the bug to get my hands dirty with something that would be fun once i got it running. I had a few different makes/models in mind as I knew looking for a specific car would take ages. Like many I had never heard of this strange and wonderful car, and while searching through craigslist and other classifieds for a project car, I found a posting from someone up in Yakima, WA. He listed a handful of cars in the ad all for $500 obo each, among them an XT6 and SVX. At $500 and a Subaru model I hadn't heard of, my interest was piqued. So I looked up SVX and discovered a very interesting car with a very interesting history. I decided I needed to go have a look at this thing in person. So I call the guy and agree to have a look at it. He said the engine ran but the transmission was bad and needed to be replaced, and the car was in rough shape looks wise. Drove up on a thursday after work and found pretty much exactly what he described. surrounding his house was basically a car graveyard. Lots of cars in bad shape that he was either slowly fixing back up or using for parts. Front and center was a bordeaux 94 LSi. After seeing how rough the paint was, the various dents, years of debri collected and deeply embedded everywhere, and quite the dirty engine bay, I knew it was going to be a heck of a project and offered him $350. He accepted and I returned that saturday with a Uhaul trailer to claim my prize. And there it is on its way home with me. (yeah i know, wheel is backwards) My plan is to make this thing look and run good again. I've learned a lot about the SVX since this purchase (back in July) and am glad to be returning another one to the roads. I have acquired a replacement 4.44 4eat and matching rear diff. to get it rolling again, and have been fixing various other odds and ends and cleaning it up while getting ready to do the transplant. So yeah... looking forward to driving this thing!

Re: As we approach 3000 members
I sold my first SVX several years ago and I finely got another one , this one is a 92 only has 66,000 miles on it, and the transmission has been redone I changed one rear wheel bearing and am going to do the other one tomorrow, so I haven't been on here much in the last few years but I like this forum as it's very informative.

Hey, names Tommy and i'm 18. I've been on the other SVX forum for a few months now. Bought my 1992 Claret SVX back in May. She currently has 87,000 miles. No rust, very clean. I will be buying my second SVX next week. I'm very excited and cant wait to get her! I don't have any pictures currently but i will post some soon. So just decided to pop in on this forum as well.

Re: Every member please check in here!
they are nice cars, this is the second one I have had, and I forgot how close to the ground they are and for an old fat boy it's kind of hard to get out of it,, actually I am thinking of selling it and get maybe an outback or forester,, yours does have low miles, this one came from SC and had no rust at all in fact the paint under the wheel wells is still black , most are all rusty by now..
