Welcome to the site. Hope you have many miles of care free miles ahead of you. If you are excited right now, wait until you get behind the wheel and head out for a nice long drive. Good luck.

More keen svx action!
Hi Jake
Very exciting! You live down the highway from Pete aka mr soob who has a white svx- some quality highway cruising in store for you... I'm sure some dedicated svxs will be able to give you the complete history of your car when they know the rego- i can never remember any. Acually is it Martins from Bowral? His has been for sale for some time... I will bring up some of petes suggestions for a drive and we can have a vote for one in the coming month ...or 6 weeks I am missing my svx so much- it is in the shop. I'm very lucky because the wheel bearing was almost entirely worn through and apparently days from the wheel falling off! No wonder i was hearing some weird noises when turning at 100km on mona vale road! Michelle

Woohoo!
The Arctic brothers from the South.
I can see some quality time opening up in my schedule after July. Unfortunately, during July is looking pretty busy for me, with a trip to the QLD Airshow (not taking the SVX tho ), and then a yacht race at the end of the month. But looking forward to some quality time with the rest of my bretheren.

Hi JJ
Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the world of SVXers! That was Martin's second SVX - I met him a few years ago when he had a burgandy one that he was selling - a great guy and was kind enough to offer his gardens for a meet back in November 03 (seems like years ago now!) I have some of the previous history of your car (I had seen it when it was being wholesaled from Sydney Mitsubishi on Parramatta Road before it went to Prestige Cars in Balmain) Berger, congratulations also! Do you have the details of the previous owner/history of your car? We try and keep track of where they go and what they get up to!! Cheers James

It should give you many miles of happy motoring!
If you can, I would fit a transmission cooler as soon as possible - will give a lot more piece of mind! Damn, I leave the country and SVXitis strikes everywhere! Now...where was that VW Phaeton that I wanted to take a look at

Well i picked the car up on thursday night and it is everything i expected and more, feels great to be in the drivers seat!!!!!!! all my friends love it to
I would have posted earlier but i havent stopped driving hehe Martin was kind enough to give me a copy of the christmas card with ten SVX's in his yard... very ipressive I was wondering where (in NSW) would you recomend servicing the car?? Also where to go to get a trans cooler and the cost?? what are the better tyres to suit the car?? what type of oil is best?? Good to hear you guys are all enjoying your rides cheers Jake

Ideally, the service manuals would be handy but we did a bulk buy a few years back and now, as I understand it, Subaru Japan no longer have them in English. I will try and email a fellow who had a black one out Botany way who had serviced his at his mechanics (who had the full service manual set) and was very happy - I can see if I can dig up his email (bit hard from over here) Cooler...I would recommend Jim Davies Automotive in Seven Hills/Greystanes...on the Great Western Highway....it cost me about $400 from memory and was well worth it - he did mine and Blakes and also 2 others I think (but don't know them) - he knows what to do and how to do it so would recommend going there...maybe JDW can go with you/show you his car so that he can jog the memory over what needs to be done (that is what Blake (Moyadon) did with me Enjoy the car Cheers James
