5 speed kit - $2000 o.b.o. gainesville FL
Little back story, I purchased a 5 speed converted 92 SVX in Claret from a friend in GA. Former member here by the name of SVXhunter. Fidanza lightweight flywheel, koni yellows, ground control springs/perches and the 5 speed is from an 01 RS. Love the car! But grown up decisions and life get in the way of what we want to happen. So with reluctance I'm letting her go.
BUT this is the parts section.. yeah, about that. I screwed up. I had a leaky valve cover gasket, and I didn't watch the oil level close enough. Everything was fine till I got into an argument with the old lady and went down the road pissed off. Found my favorite set of twisty bits on the road, and proceeded to hammer my way through them, and was rewarded to the wonderful sound of a spun rod bearing or two. Pissed off I began hunting for an engine. Found a yard a hour away from home that still had one in a car, 100k on it. Guy told me come on down, you can drive it around the yard. So I did, and had them pull it for me. Then went to buying parts to put it in. New seals, new water pump, new plugs, etc. Never got to put it in. Wife got a job across the country, so we up and move across the country and I left it at mom and dads. Then we end up moving back to FL for my job, as hers did not pan out the way it was supposed to. Now we're two hours away from mom and dads, and I don't have the time to go home and pull an engine, then install it. Tooo much crap going on. SO... for $2000.00 you get: A 92 SVX LS-L with a 5speed swap from an 01 impreza RS (front and rear were both swapped) Koni Yellows Fidanza lightweight flywheel. (between this and 4.11 gears this thing flies...) Ground control springs and perches fitted to said 92 SVX Aluminum Radiator with slimline fan. AND the engine and all the parts I can find. They were in dads shop, and most of them should be in a box next to the engine, but having had not looked at in almost a year. I can't tell you that I'm 100% certain everything is there. I'm losing my rear on this deal but I would rather see it go to an enthusiast then send it out on CL. When the car was parked the leather interior was still intact, one seam on the drivers seat had started to come apart, but no tears. Car has less than 150k on it. And yes... this is the car that was used in the Fireproof movie. Picture of her at the $2015 GRM Challenge. Fix it, part it. I'm not sure I want to know. I'm in Tampa, FL if you're serious about it I'll meet you in Gainesville to show the car. Thanks for looking Last edited by Spinout007; 04-25-2017 at 05:22 PM. Reason: forgot a few parts |

If I'm off base with my pricing. Let me know. I just know I have ~$800 wrapped up in the motor alone.
Thanks! |

Sounds like a deal at that price. The way the thread title is worded and the fact it is listed in parts will throw people off for sure.
Somebody is going to tell you to use the for sale template so here it is. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=38228

$2000 for a SVX with nice mods and all the parts to get it back on the road. Some lucky person is going to get great deal.

As long as I can keep from sending it out on CL I'll be happy.
