the best possible mods for my new svx

Hi. I recently attained a new svx from a used car show in my area and now i seek some advice on how to soop it up like a badass trick. I don't really know the specs on this so can you people tell me how big the rims are on an 99 svx? what kind of rims should i get for peak phat performance. I was thinking about adding a NOS kit but I don't think the carbeuratornator would be able to handle the pressure. I like cats do you guys?

Welcome to the club, I guess.

I have a great feeling that this is a clown post. But welcome to the network anyways. First of, SVXes were made and imported in years 1992-1997. So there are no such thing as 99 SVX. All of them came with 16" wheels although some has known to put in 18" wheels without problems.

Secondly, SVXes are not fast cars. They are heavy machines. 3500lbs with underpowered engines for drag racing, SVX does need some help in that department. However, SVX was designed as a touring coup so that's not a problem for most people here right?

As for nitros option, you should be able to put a 75shot easy on the SVX. There are how-tos on that. I myself is thinking of that. We'll see when I am done with my current project.

I have a cat. I love dogs and other animals too.

I'm not particularly fond of cats, personally, but we certainly are happy to see the owner of such a rare vehicle in our midst.

I'm just all agog.

you'd probably want to get a performance carbeuratornator upgrade to handle the extra power.

Couldn't be. The '99 has passive all wheel steering. I'm sure that would've been mentioned.

No. I'm pretty shure were done with awsteering and hopfully road sensing sonic suspensions.


At least the SVX was spared of the air ride struts. thank the better minds.

Forgot about that Randy!

It also has those GIGANTIC chrome flashy rims so popular with those drawn to modifying certain low cost transportation devices thinking that expensive wheels will show their superior intellect and obvious taste for the finer things in life!
