fix one thing....

another thing blows up.

Well we finally finished the brake calipers/rotors/pads, and the thermostat, and the damn radiator decides to stop holding liquid all at once.

Drove the svx around the neighborhood for 3 minutes to break in the brakes, and the radiator splits open.


I HATE THIS CAR, and it hates me.

What other subaru model's radiator can I Frankenstein into the car?

Re: fix one thing....

pretty good radiators on ebay that work on SVX...I understand. Maybe some people that have bought one of those could chime in? My replacement 3 years ago was from Subaru and they charged me like they were mad at me.

Re: fix one thing....

I've had a Silla radiator from eBay in my SVX for about a year, so far no trouble at all with it (and a lifetime guarantee) for a little over a hundred bucks.
