Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
A new trunk lid might lock it back in place. And if your still going to drive it get some new rear lights as you don't want to be pulled over.

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
I just wish all those damaged SVXi are in my country... bodywork is highly professional and doesn't really cost as much as in the US

and the trunk, due to its heavy nature, doesnt really move. Once I get my surgery done and I dont have to worry about that anymore, I plan on looking into getting a Title Loan. I have used this company before, so they know im good for it, and I was able to get quite abit for an old POS Buick, so hopefully I can take a loan out on my car, to fix the car. Now, if this does go though, we will have another custom color SVX.... just not sure which color yet

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
If your getting a new custom color I would suggest some of the newer Subaru colors Like the WR blue, Obsidien black, Or one of the silvers.

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
do a color that no SVX has... that will be hard since they are like skittles...
copper.... like the old eclipse.. or that grey/green they had on the round light celicas! if you feel that the trunk lid might fly take some precautions! you don't want to owe for a mercedes or something! Duct tape it if you have too! |

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
Its been awhile since I responded here. I am currently looking to get another SVX if I can, and Park this one to slowly work on her. She has still been my daily driver, the trunk still hasn't moved, but I still cry (and all other Subaru Owners who know the SVX cry) when we see her.... but shes still kickin asphalt getting me to and from work everyday. I don't drive her anywhere else.
But... once I get a replacement to have as my daily driver, I plan on putting some good work into this one. First order, to get all the mech stuff that has poped up complete (front CV's are poping now, Tach doesn't read correctly at ALL, Speedo Sensor needs replaced, etc) Now, to the first question I'm going to throw out to everyone... I take it with the ECU and TCU Constantly talking to each other, that if the ECU is getting the wrong data from the TACH, then it would cause the tranny to shift weird and not normally correct? (However, under heavy Accel, the shift times, and how smooth the shift is, is perfect, like the tranny was brand new) Also, the Tach only goes up to MABEY 1k in COLD weather? and in normal Florida heat, it doesn't go past 4k - 5k depending on the day (I think shes just picky) (I tested via reving in park, and taking her up to 65 from a dead stop on the interstate (yes, "power" mode kicked in) and she never reads higher on the tach, but you can hear and feel that shes reving like she should) Anyway, Anyone have any idea's on why my tach would be reading incorrectly all the time? and what can I do to correct that? Also, could this be the reasion why when I am at around 30mph, and the tach reads below 1.2K, when I slightly press the gas that the tranny almost shutters, but once I pull her down into 3rd, or hit the gas pretty hard, shes fine? (if the tach reads above 2k, she doesn't do that, but if it reads below that, she sometimes does it, and if it reads below 1.5k, its happens ALMOST everytime?)

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
you people are nuts. You just dont want to see another svx taken off the road. Dont do that at the expence of this guys wallet.
why would anyone fix this beyond sentimental reasons? the rippling of the rear quarter shows its been pushed in pretty far. I personally dont see the lines on your car ever being straight again. you need alot of pieces, plus paint, plus labor. the car is totalled unless your willing to do alot of work on it yourself. Plus all the other mechanical issues? The FAR cheaper option, is to go find a real nice SVX w/ a blown tranny. and put yours in it. then you STILL have a parts car too. which you can sell or keep. my 2 cents.

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
I could fix that car for less than $1500...which would keep me from taking it off the road.

Re: SVX in crash.... is it worth to repair
Actualy, I have already been looking for another SVX, but not one to do a tranny swap, but a good one.
I am the one who decided to take on the task to get her repaired, as I spent 2 1/2 years looking for her when I lost my first SVX, and I, personaly, don't want to see another SVX dead on the road. After I get another SVX, I plan on working on the Mechanical problems first, to keep her running, Shes still running now, just with the problems I listed above (anyone wanna give me insight on my Tach Problem?) I will keep her as the "Daily Driver Switcher", as I will alternate between the 2. Plus... owning 2 running SVXi has always been a Goal of mine anyway, one for show and Beauty, one for AutoXing. Yea, she mite have a fat a** on her, but that will make AutoX fun! Since there mite not be a chance of getting her lines perfect, she is perfect for AutoX, but I do want to make her look good enough to be proud of, as it stands right now, everytime i go to get in her, I want to cry but... I am dedicated to getting her back up to snuff, who knows... 5 speed swap maybe? Quote:
