Need opinions
Okay.......Where to start. I am in the process of acquiring a 1995 Polo green SVX, so long as everything goes as planned. It has below 70k on the clock and a fair amount of extra goodies (modifications ex: PWR radaitor). The question isn't if I am buying this car but rather what to do with my current SVX. I do love my 94 FWD, the original plan was to give it to my mother to drive but she instead is going to drive my brothers 2003 Mercury sable (don't ask me why ).I guess she didn't want to abide by some of rules of receiving the car (No smoking in it mainly).
Now I have done a fair amount of work on my 190k 94, to include: Idle pulleys, radiator(x2), timing belt, Thermostat (working on #3 to be replaced soon), Master brake cylinder, Coil #5 (Driver side, closest to driver,o the joy), Transmission and front diff, cam seals, valve covers, O2 sensor, and Rear main seal. That is all I can think of for the moment :/, sure some of OT blood is in there somewhere. I am not sure what I should do, give me a suggestion folks. I do not want dismantle a working SVX (even if its FWD). I don't believe anyone would be interested in purchasing a FWD/high mileage SVX.

Re: Need opinions
you could keep it as a d/d, sounds like you spend allot of time under your car, i have learned it is a bad idea to be modding your only form of transportation. and with the amount of money you have dropped into it, you know it will be reliable for a while to come. i say dd for the win

Re: Need opinions
Well it would be nice to just keep it as a weekend car, but I could not afford insurance on both, I will have complete and full coverage on the new one. its not modified like you are thinking, its just got a PWR radiator, slotted rotors things like that.

Re: Need opinions
Pull your wing and front diff off and give them to me.
Then sell the car.

Re: Need opinions
lol I don't think you want wing, it does have a small chip in it about the size of a quarter on the underside. If you want to buy it as a whole car let me know lmao

Re: Need opinions
Not Exactly SVX
Post topics not relating to SVX's. For example, discussions about other cars, racing, or pretty much anything that doesn't fit into another forum. GTFO!

Re: Need opinions
sell it. There is nothing wrong with FWD svxi. So they don't go in the snow as well...so what, some people just want cool cars. Will it bring as much as an AWD one? heck no but so what.
it is such a shame that 2wd SVX doesn't = rear wheel drive SVX...now that would have been cool.

Re: Need opinions
lets say he sells it for $1500. You tell me a car that has that much power, style, comfort, reliability (I'd trust an SVX over an american car anyday) and doesn't look like something that granny would drive for the same $$$.
To me that is Cool!

Re: Need opinions
oh I totally missed what you were saying...I have teh stupid today: RWD would be fun in a raise hell, sideways up my street, tire smoking good time kind of way. i know it isn't for everyone but sometimes I like to let loose a little.
Think of it this way: If the SVX had to be 2wd wouldn't RWD have been a better option? In my opinion...heck yeah!
