How can we give you credit without pics? The way you described the bodywork is pretty interesting.... I'd like to see the pics, even if they aren't finished.

Suggestions? Get a life and stop trolling. you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. If you do, please, prove me wrong.

I remember the same sentiment expressed before anyone had put a 5 speed in an svx.

This ain't a current member trolling - this is a new member, the IP checks out.

Silverspear - we can't wait to see some pictures. Good luck getting the lights in.

We all know what happens when people get raw furry with SVXi.

Why can't some of you people just respect the fact that some people like to decorate and customize their car for show? Sure, we have had our share of seeing bolt ons among other things that just made the SVX look disgusting, but if it even looks remotely like how he explained this ride is gonna look like a true show car, or at least the closest thing for a Subaru SVX can even become so far. I'm more into seeing how you set up the turbos in the engine bay in all.

Also Silverspear, its ok to show your SVX incomplete, we usually pride ourselves in seeing good things happen in progress anyway. For example, just look at the ECUTune Stage 3 and Stage 1 for ODB-2 SVXs.

Funny, when I was in Kuwait City... and saw an SVX, I too was in a Pajero... coincidence???

A single turbo is better than two turbos in almost every case.

The only way to change gear ratios is to change the transmission.

What do you mean calibrate the turbos at 4000 rpms?

Angry Reply to All Comments

Guys i guess that when i am logged in, you are not because of time difference, Difference in time B/W New York and Lebanon is 7 hrs and B/W Lebanon and California 9hrs (we are ahead by this time bracket).
i wanted to reply each and every comment but i will be doing this in this posting.
i am sure i am getting teased because i am claiming something whereas in reality no proof was established yet. i thought about it deeply, and i have decided to post the back end of my car, only !!! is it proof enough ???? or you want we to photograph it all, inside and outside, engine, transmission, lower, upper, trunk and maybe all SVX's in lebanon and in the Middle East !!!!????
I am really angry from some people, because i think that someone shouldn't claim something unless he means it, and in my case i am dead serious about it !!!!
Whereas the other question related to the turbos, there are no old subarus (1800) with a twin turbo, only one turbo, so i will bring two of them and put them in the car. as you know, stage 1 chip schematics show that its performance is achieved at low regimes until around 3800 rpms. so i will set these turbos to become active only until i push the car to 4000 rpms and above.
they will simultaneously be turned on at 4000rpms achieving by that a low fuel consumption at low regimes and high performance at high regimes !!!
