advice for the newbie?
SO I am new to this world of SVX... but I know I drive one and I like it. My brother, who is in Iraq drives one, and unfortunately I am the mechanicaly challenged one in the family. My dad is also into them (we have 7 of them in our backyard), but he lives in alaska for 1/2 the year.
I drive a 92' that is pretty much stock... OZ 17" Rims Falken Low-pro's Alpine Sound system, w/ 2 1000w 12"s Limo tinted And new paint job next weeked, WHOO HOOO! (Super dark Charcoal) yeah so far only workin on the looks, but the next big buy is hopefully... exhaust, intake, and ECU chip... ANYWAYS... When I drive my check engine light likes to go on and off periodically... Anyone notice this around 110k miles?? Also... when I say I am mechanically challenged, I mean it... So i was wondering what the removal of the Intake resonator does for ya? no making fun. |

If you're in AZ and have 9 SVX in the family, I think Dayle will want to get to know you, or vice versa.
Is your dad Earl? heh

Yeah the check engine light is most probably O2 sensors. Hows your gas mileage?

haha Sorry, 7 total... Mine and my brothers are the only ones driven... I believe 2 of the others arent running, and the other 3 have body damage... they are good to have for parts though... Suppose I should have clarified.... I only own one, so I best nobody, haha... if anyone is in PHX AZ area and is into SVX's they most likely have seen my brothers, it is bright yellow, and sounds really good. Thx guys....

Is that yellow SVX the same one that elninoalex, elninosvx (forgot his name for sure, something like that) had in oregon who sold it and went somewhere down there to one of those states?
Anyways, welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy your stay.

Hi, welcome.
Do you have a digital camera? Or a scanner? I'd love to see a photo of all those SVXes lined up in your back yard. That would be so cool! Phil. |
