Re: I'm unfamiliar with the SVX's, please help me out...
I'm up at MSU, hense the name. I've had this car for like 3, 4 months. This car is sweet! It handles our winter like nothing else. I haven't had to put any money into it, there's nothing wrong w/ the bearings, tranny, ect. Only thing was a wheel blew out, but I doubt that was the cars fault. You'll never regret getting this car!

Sweet, thanks again for all the responses, it'll be really helpful. Stupid me left the email sitting in my outbox all day, I just got in, been out since 11...so we'll see what he has to say.
Taking a short break, 15 minutes, and back to the library for the evening. I'll be checking any postings from there. |

I'm second year, studying computer engineering. If I get the car, you can swing by next time you're in town for a party (next school year, most likely) and come check out the car.
I just want a car, and it'd be really nice if it were a cool one like the SVX. Hope he responds soon, I want to get the ball rolling. What, if any, mods would anyone suggest for something equivalent to the supra BPU? I browsed through the mod section, didn't see anything terribly exciting. Apart from the aesthetics...I mean, I like the indiglo gauges, and I'll probably do that myself. Engine-wise? latez all. Weather's crazy here, 70's today and the media union's 3rd floor isn't well ventilated nor is the A/C currently on. <sigh> |

I was quoted $300 at Becker subaru for a timing belt change. It really doesn't look hard at all...kind like a V8 cause it's longitudinally mounted.

The major cost is in the labor (as is most things with the SVX). It isn't quite as complicated as the infinity. The reason it will cost so much, altogether, is, you'll probably want to replace anything else worn in there, in order to avoid re-paying for the labor later. Replace the cam and crank seals while they're there. The seals are not that terribly expensive, as I recall, around 50/60 bucks apiece (been a while) so, may as well replace them while they've done the labor. Same with the water pump. If you've got a lot of mileage, go ahead and change it. Another 50.00 part that can be replaced while all the "stuff's outta the way and avoid labor costs down the road.
