well good luck with the xhaust. The ABS sensors are not hard to get to, they are on the other side of the rotors It is not uncommon to get front wheel spin with the svx just for a moment though and then the rear wheels should swallow up that wasted power

Know someone with a lift and a MIG welder? That's how I fixed mine I was lucky I shopped around for a Lube place that had a MIG welder as the guy was draining the oil I said would you mind hiting the heat shields with a few spot welds I think it is ratteling. He did I gave him $5.00. a little more than a $1.50 Hose clamp.

so, does the hose clamp just fit around the two shields? I got under there and began to feel around. I didnt feel anything loose, but the pipe right after the converter rattles when I tap on it. The shields werent loose when I touch them and that makes me think its comming from inside of it.
So should I just slap the hose clamp around the two shields... |

I was breakin Chike's marbles not his. If you can afford to have a GN for a toy, I am sure you can afford to keep an SVX running in "decent" shape

I can afford to have the GN as a toy but I cant afford to have a SVX thats a POS that was the issue
I doubt an 18 year old SVX (if it existed) would fetch the same as a GN and the GN was a $20,000 car fully loaded taxes included and I believe the SVX was a $30,000 + car An 87 GN can easily fetch $10,000 even with some mileage |
