Mechanical solution??? PLS READ EVERYONE
Guys i was talking the other day to my mechanic about labor costs in the states, he suggested a wild idea. he told me what if we both do a trip to the states for around 2 weeks, from my side i would get to know some of my fellow SVX'ers and he will fix your mechanical problems for 60% of what you pay as labor costs to mechanics over there... but he needs like a 20 cars signup for this project (he can fix tranny problems, bearings, 5mt swaps, timings belts, water pumps...........everything MECHANICAL in nature...) but he needs a garage and instruments...
Well i said i would ask the guys for such a thing... crazy but feasible??? any legal constraints? etc...etc...

Where would you set up? As you know, we are kinda spread out over here. Ensteel made up and posted a pdf file of active members by state. That may help.
I'm in Nevada... There's only 3 or 4 of us that participate here from the entire state. I've only seen 4 SVX's in Las Vegas.. and 2 are mine! Climate is too warm for people to take interest in AWD subies. 1.8 Million people in Vegas with 1 usually deserted Subaru dealership. A setup would have to happen up north between NY and NJ, or maybe Oregon to get between California and Washington state. Here's the pdf Ensteel posted:

Very nice idea and very thoughtful but at the same time 2 weeks wouldnt be enough to do all of what we would ask. Unless your mechanic is some sort of robot that needs no rest

I think maybe you can probably find more mechanics such as at least 4 up to 10 the max and visit us to the Reading annually for about 2-3 weeks long. And you should charge us even cheaper rate because you can't provide us a warranty job after you guys go back. I think it might encourage more people to go to Reading Meet every year.
You can ship your SVX here if you want. haha. You can get to visit us, make some money during a fun vacation and buy some svx parts back there every year. Isn't it a more "cool" idea? Want me to help you to set up this company?
