<<PPPS: congratulations Aredubjay - you are a deity amongst mortals!!>>
Goodness, let's not go that far. 'Preciate the congrats though. On another note, I saw some picts of fair Eire tonight. A fellow who used to come to my men's group moved, with his family, to City Gallway about five years ago. He returned tonight to speak of his progress there. Perhaps his exploits there will become a doorway to my daughter's dream to visit Ireland. We shall see.

Hi Jamsvx Nice to know there is another Irishman posting somewhere in the ether. Far as I know, there are only 2 SVX's in Ireland. John Shotsky told me of another guy brought one in, he is also in IT, and in Dublin, but I have not managed to track him down yet. No, mine does not have AWS. Phil Skuse in UK put me wise there are two models in Japan, at least originally, economy model like mine, chassis CXW, and Bells and Whistles model, chassis CDX. BTW, you will spark a flameout on the US site mentioning AWS, they don't think it exists. Fuji probably thought their roads are so wide, what would they need it for? My car also does not have ABS, cruise, nor a factory alarm. What spec is yours?? I will e-mail. Joe |

4WS
Yes, electronic 4ws was standard on the Version L (CXD)model which was sold here between Sept 91 and Nov 93.
1900 Version L's were produced and the model, along with 4ws was dropped in Nov 93 with the introduction of the facelift model, the S40, which was based on the Version E (CXW). No factory alarm was ever avalaible for the SVX in Japan, although all SVX's came with remote locking and keyless entry. In fact even on new cars sold here now, a factory alarm is very rarely offered. paddlesnz Gunma JAPAN |

4ws - my site
Quote:
I often assumed the prevalence of 4ws was for the cramped/narrow streets in urban areas but since the vast majority of the systems seem to be geared towards higher speed stability (or a least a combination of both), I am at a loss to conclude why. Anyways, my 4ws site is progressing slowly for 2 reasons: 1) I am using Geocities Pagemaker which is very time consuming for me (my forte is not web design!) 2) I only have a 56K connection - and it takes a while to upload everything. Anyways, since I now know people on here who a) know Japanese and b) are SVX-conversant, perhaps someone could translate the pages that I have scanned on the SVX and I will put up the translation with much lauding of the translator! My site (early release since still under construction!) is www.geocities.com/jamsvx with www.geocities.com/jamsvx/4ws.html as the pertinent page Forgive the format since I am still working on it! Regards James

Translations
Jamsvx
I'll translate the page from my Japanese Owners Manual about the 4WS and email it to you. I'll also translate the other page from the automotive magazine, but that page will take a few days as it is very technical. Japanese love to have as many hi-tech gadgets on their cars as possible even if they are of little practical use in everyday driving. In the early 90's 4WS was the 'thing' to have, so even basic Toyota Corona's and Mazda 626's had the option of 4WS. paddlesnz Gunma JAPAN |

I remember bhria....I think he had some problems with it from memory....but after that flaming Yahoo really lost its appeal.....and here we are now, the creme de la creme of SVX fans!!! Jamsvx PS: I got your email paddlesnz...I used to have an MX6 turbo and that also came with the 4ws option.....murderously expensive to repair though.....Mazda have persisted with it till lately (Eunos 800M, MX6 V6, 929) but Honda seems to have abandoned it- outside JDM anyways

Thanks Eddycat2000.
Its not so much that I have given up on Yahoo (I joined when there was about 4000posts so fairly early in the piece) but rather as the SVX fan base has grown, so have the resources and the alternatives - this site being a case in point. In any event, it is true, as you say, that one can derive a certain satisfaction from proving someone wrong when they themselves have started sledging and generally carrying on like a twit. *dons the asbestos 3 piece!* Jamsvx

Flame wars
Quote:
You don't want to believe Eddy when he's sounding so cute and innocent. There must be Irish blood in him. he sits with a flame thrower in his pocket, waiting for the right post to come in. Any news on the job thing Eddy?? Hope it comes in good. Still waiting on a manual to get my trans stripped. I have a feeling that the problem is largely mechanical, and could be fixed by a competent shop, which we do have a few here contrary to my previous posts, I am just wary they are unfamiliar with this box, there are none of this type around these parts. Last, James, Paddlesnz, my car came from Japan with only one key, no blipper. Is there any way I can send off for a remote plipper to suit the car?? Joe |

Re: Flame wars

As far as the tranny goes, it's pretty much like any other automatic once you are in it. It just looks intimidating, especially the first time you have to rebuild one. By blipper and plipper are you meaning the remote fob for the keyless entry? I might have a spare one around, I can take a look. |

Remote Blipper
svxistentialist
The remote fob for the Japanese model is different from the US model as the remote setup in the vehicle is different. I'm going to my local friendly Subaru dealer on Saturday, so I'll price one for you. Also have you worked out how to unlock the car without the key or remote? Not sure if this was on the US spec cars. paddlesnz Gunma JAPAN |

Joe,
Your problem IS most likely mechanical since you're not getting any diagnostic codes. Have you tried Bell and Covill in London for the "bilpper?" Or, it may be just as inexpensive to order from www.subaruparts.com. They're about 45.00 USD. Or, there's a fellow from the Yahoo club (mgunner21) who has some spares and may sell them to you reasonably.

Re: Remote Blipper
Quote:
Haven't had the need to open it without the key, didn't know it was possible. Hope it's not possible, I'm more paranoid than Eddycat. Surely just any remote will not do, or, do I get a remote and just programme it? Is it that simple?? Mine must be different from the American ones, there is no button on the dash or anything. Only hint of remote capability is, if I try the door latch to make sure the car is locked after using the key, it gives a "bleep" inside. I had suspected this indicated the car was locked or possibly immobilized, is this correct for Japanese cars Paddlesnz?? Joe |
