Day two of owning a SVX
Hello everybody. This is my first post on this board (I'm usually of Hayabusa.org). I recently (Saturday) bought a 1992 Subaru SVX w/ 147,000 miles on it. The previous owner took VERY good care of this car as it looks more like 47,000 miles!
Now the questions begin. I would never admit this to anyone outside of this board but the performance is ... not quite what I expected. I mean, for this car to have 230 ponies it really doesn't throw me for a loop like I thought it would. Secondly, I feel the need to harvest parts for it as it seems like a very, very rare car. Extra Transmission, rear dif, etc. I even saw a guy selling quarter glass and was tempted to buy! I like the car so far but I guess I should start looking into the engine more. Maybe run some compression test on the cyls (Good luck getting a hand down there!) and doing a few vacuum checks. I just bought/installed a K&N filter after my buddy in a 1994 Suburban kept up with me pretty much in a light-to-light 1/4 mile race. I won but not by much. Performance, things you think I should know and other apples of gold will be greatly appreciated. |
