16 Years and finally running smoothly again!
Took a pic of my baby in the driveway right after coming home from work. No reason, just thought I'd post. Bought her new 16 years ago, still find her good looking and intriguing if not a bit tempermental!
Update: Sheit! Sorry guys! For some reason the picture didn't attach (maybe too big?) and I'm still new to Apple so I'm still trying to figure out how the iPhoto editor works. My apologies!

So where is the picture? You can't just tantalize like that.

Re: 16 Years and finally running smoothly again!
With only 60K miles, what did you need to do to get it running smoothly again? I wouldn't think too much.....

An acquaintance of mine who was a mechanic for years said, "if you've looked into everything and still can't figure it out, go back to the basics" sage advice! One thing I have learned about the SVX these many years is that it seems EVERYTHING is a real b**** to work on but I still love this car!

Re: 16 Years and finally running smoothly again!
That is one clean looking SVX, beautiful 95! (..and I see you are another Mazda 6 owner too). Glad to hear you solved with the plug, it's nice to hear when someone solves a nagging long term problem like that.

Re: 16 Years and finally running smoothly again!
Very Nice! Is it a '95 with a '97 grill?
Here's mine - a '94 with 72K mi. |

These are Tiburon wheels right?

[QUOTE=ZMan;657517]Very Nice! Is it a '95 with a '97 grill?
Here's mine - a '94 with 72K mi. Yeah, got bored with the '95 waterfall grill and lack of aftermarket things that I could do to the SVX so I got a hold of a new grill and had it painted. I still have the original grill in the garage in a box. Yours is really clean! One of the cleanest I have seen out there! I have a question for you, are you having issues with the plastic body parts (mirror housings, flanks under the rear sail window where it says "SVX") fading? I've been using a mild abrasive wax to bring the color back but its a matter of time before I have to get them repainted. My car has been garage kept its entire life so I'm not sure why this is happening. I gotta tell you one thing I love doing is driving it to the local Subaru dealer. The mechanics and sales people flock around it like I'm some kind of rock star! One of the younger porters asked me once if I was from Subaru Corporate Japan and whether this was some kind of experimental Subaru! (I am Japanese - American)

My mirrors have already been painted because i switched them from my parts car which are heated, but they were green. Like you said, it's just a matter of time before the flank pieces get painted as well. - I get red paint on my towel when i wax them. LOL on you driving to the dealer - I get lots of looks from the salesmen when I go there to visit a friend who works there. |
