Power mode
Is there any way to manually put the car in the power mode? Because i have driven mine harder for longer periods of time than the owners manual makes it sound like you would have to for it to automatically go into the power mode and it never has.

Is the power mode button down on the bottom left part of the shifter console?

There is no button on our cars. It's only engaged relative to how fast you hit the go pedal.

as Andy said above, a quick stab at the go pedal, and then floor it - should give the effect you're looking for.
hell, i don't even have a power LIGHT!

I am not sure about JDM SVXes but the following is for USDM SVXes.
96-97s don't have the power mode light indicator. none of the USDM SVXes will have power mode button. If it is there(JDM/UK/German), it will be where the manual button on the shifter and the manual button will be in place of one of our buttons on the console (like hazard light panel).

This is the layout of a Euro SVX. Note the positions of ECON and MANU buttons. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/Sonar/14598.jpg JDM has MANU on the shifter and POWER where the MANU button is on the Euro cars. |

I do remember something about this... There is something that I read somewhere that tells you how to lock the car into AWD all the time... I can't remember if that included Power mode or not... As you can see by my signature, I no-longer have things such as "power mode" on my mind... Hehehee
Things on my mind now are as follows.... -----> "Man, I gotta get the clutch changed !!!!" -----> "Gotta keep saving for the suspension kit!!!" -----> "SS Brake lines!!! Need them!!!" -----> "How much is it gonna cost to get the Brembo's from the STi switched to my car??? " Hehehehe
