A Lot has Happened Since My Last Post

Well, The origional civic slayer has been retired. it had a lot of problems near the end of its reign, so I sold it to someone that could put the time and effort into brining it back to its lustrious state. In the last few months, I bought an identical pearl white SVX. Here is the rundown.

1992 Subaru SVX Ls-L
bought the car with 78000 miles. Loaded

Swapped over drilled and slotted rotors and installed EBC greenstuff pads.
Comparison: Old car ran a 16.577 in the 1/4 mile with little gas in the tank. New car ran a 16.519 in the 1/4 mile with a full tank. So, given the right conditions, and ideal circumstances, im shooting for 16 flat or lower. I have found a guy here in Idaho that is willing to invest the time into experimenting with a turbo setup that will work. I'll have to get some pictures for you all.

I have had the car for two months, and am already getting a new paint job courtesy of AAA1 lock and key. I locked my keys in the car, and the lock tech poped a ding in my door from the inside. The paint was already imaculate, so the car really didn't need any paint. The few places I've been to said that they car match the paint, but I remain skeptical as to whether they will be able to match paint. And I need to fix a chip in my windshield, that one really tweaked my mellon as it happened last weekend on my way to the drag strip. I'll try and post more, to keep you all updated on the progress with the car, as I plan on turboing it in the next few months. I will talk to you all later.


HEY CHIKE, CALL ME. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE REAR DIFF SWAP.
