Awwww come on guys,
He drives a Fiero too. Another car that was only made a short time.
I agree with them thou. I just had a wheel bearing replaced and looks like my trans will be next. But on the other side of it you already have the basic's down from wrenching on the Fiero. Only thing I dont like is there is no room really to work around on the SVX. But hey, I have worked on other things like that and your about ½ my age so you can get into those little area's. Maybe look for an XT. Thats my daily car these days. Here is a picture of it. This one is lifted 2" with 14" rims now. It's a blast. Not as nice of a ride as the SVX but more fun to drive. You can find the older Subarus on http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/forum/ or http://www.xt6.net/forum/ both are great sites with alot of nice people and info like this site. Also you can check with MnSubaru.com for local stuff. Most of them are around your age with to much money on thier hands. |

Haha, the Accord was purchased with most of the stuff pre-riced. I helped it along a little - it's basically a running joke I talked to the guy again today and he said he purchased the car not too long ago and doesn't have the title yet. He doesn't know if he's willing to sell it yet, but I'm trying to talk him into it for sure. I'm not scared to do any wrenching, but I'd like it to be reliable through winter. If anyone has a cheap XT or XT6 I suppose I wouldn't mind buying one of those either, as long as it's AWD.
Heck no, why would I take the Caddy motor out? I bet it's lighter than the SVX motor, and gives me 100 more lb-ft.. Cliff's notes: I want a cheap AWD vehicle for the winter! |

Hmmm
If I remember right the N* motor and trans weighed in around 650lbs on the cradle.

The 4.9 weighs 371 lbs ready to go with everything attached. I'm missing the power steering pump and some other small things so I'd estimate ~360 lbs before switching intakes. You can't ignore the +100 lb-ft though! :P
The SVX motor makes decent torque, but it doesn't compare to 300 lb-ft at 2300 rpm (John's 4.9 in Kansas, who did my exhaust and air conditioning). I still love the SVX though. It'd be perfect as a winter car for me. Oh, almost forgot. You know how I said I needed a car at the beginning of this thread? I broke the driver's side window with my head. Now I really need a car.. |
