D-Day has come 5-spd Swap starts this weekend.

[GreenMarine]

I'll try to make it to that Paul... I need to get the specifics though and where and when it will be... I would love to be there to video... Let me know!!!

Hey Marine how you doin

Hey ya little bunny rabbit doing good, just got my suspension on this past weekend... (see other thread in the Mod section)

He's doing great

How is the suspension? I still have not invested much time or thought into the suspension yet, I barely remember how the car feels on the road....

Suspension mods are later in the year....


YES bring home the gold Paul!!!!!!!!!!

[GreenMarine]

Too bad you're not going to Reading... I'd take ya for a blast around the country roads out there then you'd beable to tell how the Suspension is ... I challenge any SVX.... Or any car for that matter to try and keep up on a windey road... That is where you'll see the true beeauty of the suspension, in Weight transfers (switch back turns.... (ie. Left right left right really quick))

Hi Chris

You never know...maybe I'll get lucky and get my butt out to Reading.. like ta meet ya along with everyone else.

I read your thread about the suspension....sounds exactly what Iam looking for.... I'll have to get one this summer

later hon

[GreenMarine]

Cool, it'll be good to see ya out there

I recommend the Stage 2. This is what I have and it is perfect.

Mike

Yeah I have had a spec stage 2 on my 5spd SVX and it feels great, you can slip it, but it hold the power, and the presure plate dosent make the pedal to hard to press.

Victoria:

How's progress? The race is over, and I'm getting started. I'll be under the car this weekend!!

-Paul

I will be looking at Alex's car tomorrow.

I havent been able to start....its a sad thing.
This weekend if I buy Alex's old setup I will be starting on Easter
hehe rebirth of my car...bad humor


I will let everyone know, I have been soooo busy lately.

need to figure on about the xmember....need get under the car
then I will know more

good luck to you Paul

ps if you can get the cropped tees like the example given in the thread or something like it I'm down for 2.

[svxhunter]

Got it on the tees.

Are you doing a 5-spd so you can sell it? That is a lot of effort. The SVX auto is very expensive, but someone just did a Legacy (I think) auto into an SVX with minimal pain. It's not as strong, but it's more reasonably priced.

I'd rather see you do the 5 spd and enjoy it, but if you're going to sell there is another option.

-P

heck no I'm keepin it....to enjoy
about that was my dad told me to just sell the car than go through all that work...I have since corrected his thought about it...

Victoria-

Whereabouts are you located? (You can PM me)

Business has been slow, so I've been helping a friend with his luggage delivery service from the airport (when the airlines lose or delay your luggage- they deliver it to your home, business or hotel). I get all over town with that, and I'll be working on Easter Sunday.

I'd like to see your progress on the 5-speed project.

Good Luck in the 'transformation'.

-Mark
