Okay , I got an idea... For you all !

[Nomad]

Hi , It's been 2 years now that im with this car...And now's the time to do something a bit different I hope : I want to rebuild the whole engine ( cause the last time i've put 3000$ , the guy stole it with my money ... ) , Put a 6 speed and turbo charge it in the same week or two . I'm far away so , i'll go to somebody's place that has the equipment , and we'll do the job there. I can sleep in a motel or in my car . The members could come by , check or help us ! Of course , I'll pay the time or the job if needed , beers , pizzas , dancers .... even pompom girls ! BBQ party and things like that . Is anybody up for the chalenge. The thing is , My grand-father died before christmas , he have given me some cash and in the testament he said : Burn that on a dream ... And my dream is having The Car . I've got some drawings done for a FU*** Paint job after that and it's already paid ( some 5000$ ). My Grand-Father will see me from the sky ... help me do what I must Please !

that is a good idea but i dont think you can do it in a week... and even if you could i dont think you would be happy with the results... plus most of the members here lead very busy lifes... i know i do!

[Nomad]

Yeah , i figure BUT ! Let's say 2 weeks. Tom just said in another thread that he rebuilded an engine in 5 h 00 ... ? So if some people take their summer vacation in the same time ... I would take them in the same time as them... I know it's a long shot but , I wanted to give the cash to some people that are in this club instead of giving that to Jonny no body. I've asked Subaru Performance north of Montréal and , it's in the 30,000$ project range ... For a rebuilt and a 6 spd , Turbo . They ask me 3 months.... so ... I think we can do a lot beter than that and , pus a lot more stuff : Vertical doors , neons , ect...

[Suby Fan]

well i think you need to come up with a list of exactly what you want on your car.... then scrach off neons.. cause thats kinda tacky these days... start researching if it can be done.... what parts you will use and how you will do it... there are super charger kits and turbo kits avalible for this car... then build... i personaly would love to help but its something i could only spare time on in the summer for

The engine rebuild if done right will take more than 2 weeks...

I'd suggest finding a low mileage engine, and the 6 speed tranny, and all the parts that you're going to need in advance, have them shipped to whomever is going to do the work, then once all the parts are gathered, set up a date to get the engine/tranny swapped in.

Doing it that way should allow it to be done in a weekend if everything goes smoothly.

But if you're motor is good, just have the basic seals changed and save yourself a lot of money.....maybe to put toward a Stage III kit


Just my thoughts on it.

If you are truely serious about this I would suggest that you contact proven fabricators, mechanics, and innovators who are familiar with the SVX.
If you brought the elite of this Network together, you could drive it to Reading AND the 15th Anniversary!


My list of The Best would include

look if your for f'In serious get the car to va my freind own a tranny shop. I'm a engine builder, my best friend owns a machine shop. I can talk to a freind of my a see if he is up for painting another. My oldest brother is a engine builder for penske racing he make the pistons and rods for mine engine. between my brother and I we design a killer turbos set up for mine it seem to be a very reliable power building package. I invested about $27k in mine and it knocks the doors of my wife mb c55 amg. I but 7 cars on my friends tt supra that makes 590 wheel horsepower . It took three week to build mine. once every thing was made. If you want to do this in 2 weeks I will need a few weeks to get stuff made. And sent here. I think i can find a place for u to stay. So between my 4 employees and my buddy guys a the tranny shop. I can be done.

Ok , i've read all . Doing a trip would be great... And blasting the doors of a AMG too ... I'm Starting to do things to have the cash . If you have more ideas , tell me . I need to sell some buildings to have the money from my succession ( is that the right word for : Héritage? ) And i'll finalise my house shopping in 2 or 3 months . ( too much work , never had a house ... man ) Stay tuned for developments ...
