Post up any SVX questions for the Subaru Engineer here!
Hi guys-
The special 20th anniversary event is coming up soon in Japan and the team has been gathering any SVX questions for the guest speaker, Mr. Iga, the former Subaru engineer who was involved in the SVX project back then. Some of you might have seen this anniversary website... but here's the link. Sorry I still haven't had a chance to work on the English translation on this page. http://www47.atwiki.jp/svx20aniv/pages/21.html So any SVX questions you have, any questions... we'd like to hear it! Some of you have already PM me but you can just post them up here. Thanks a lot for your help in advance... My questions would be...

Re: Post up any SVX questions for the Subaru Engineer here!
If you were could modify an SVX using today's technology, what updates would you consider/perform?
What gear ratios would you use if installing an SVX? Least/most favorite facet of the SVX, 14 years after production ceased?

Re: Post up any SVX questions for the Subaru Engineer here!
How about "Why only 230 Hp?" (yeah, I know "Because the 4HEAT wouldn't support more")
"Why no option for 'sport' suspension?" (better springs/struts/swaybars/bushings) -Bill

Re: Post up any SVX questions for the Subaru Engineer here!
One question I have for auto designers and engineers is "What do you drive?"

"Do you have any idea why Subaru hasn't made a decent-looking car in the past 6 years? Are they herp-derp?"
